One of the vital hanging facets of the house is the eclectic assortment of paintings on the partitions.
“We love tag gross sales, property gross sales, junk gross sales, antiques retailers,” Dillard mentioned. “There’s an 1852 portray of a gentleman that hangs over the hearth within the eating room that I acquired at a tag sale. I do not know who he’s. We named him Uncle Cyrus.”

“I most likely have a dozen or extra of his items,” she mentioned. “I’ve been amassing paintings for 20 years. I simply purchase what I like – this home is a hodgepodge of what I like. I’m not making an attempt to appear like one thing in {a magazine}.”
The skin of the house additionally acquired a metamorphosis. Dillard had French drains put in together with an irrigation system, lighting, brick steps and walkways, and new panorama vegetation.
“There are two Magnolia timber out entrance that we stored, however had trimmed up,” she mentioned. “That’s my favourite half concerning the exterior of the home. I like the truth that they shade the home, but in addition that they’re that outdated.”
Work on the house was accomplished final November, and that’s when Dillard and her daughter, Mary Kirk, had been capable of transfer into the home. Mary Kirk is a pupil at Mississippi State College, majoring in structure. Dillard’s son, Bradley, and his spouse, Laiken, reside in Tupelo.

That’s one purpose Dillard needed the house – not only for herself, however for her daughter.

Attorneys want the US Supreme Court to say Mississippi’s felony voting ban is cruel and unusual
By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court should overturn Mississippi’s Jim Crow-era practice of removing voting rights from people convicted of certain felonies, including nonviolent crimes such as forgery and timber theft, attorneys say in new court papers.
Most of the people affected are disenfranchised for life because the state provides few options for restoring ballot access.
“Mississippi’s harsh and unforgiving felony disenfranchisement scheme is a national outlier,” attorneys representing some who lost voting rights said in an appeal filed Wednesday. They wrote that states “have consistently moved away from lifetime felony disenfranchisement over the past few decades.”
This case is the second in recent years — and the third since the late 19th century — that asks the Supreme Court to overturn Mississippi’s disenfranchisement for some felonies. The cases use different legal arguments, and the court rejected the most recent attempt in 2023.
The new appeal asks justices to reverse a July ruling from the conservative 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which said Mississippi legislators, not the courts, must decide whether to change the laws.
Stripping away voting rights for some crimes is unconstitutional because it is cruel and unusual punishment, the appeal argues. A majority of justices rejected arguments over cruel and unusual punishment in June when they cleared the way for cities to enforce bans on homeless people sleeping outside in public places.
Attorneys who sued Mississippi over voting rights say the authors of the state’s 1890 constitution based disenfranchisement on a list of crimes they thought Black people were more likely to commit. A majority of the appeals judges wrote that the Supreme Court in 1974 reaffirmed constitutional law allowing states to disenfranchise felons.
About 38% of Mississippi residents are Black. Nearly 50,000 people were disenfranchised under the state’s felony voting ban between 1994 and 2017. More than 29,000 of them have completed their sentences, and about 58% of that group are Black, according to an expert who analyzed data for plaintiffs challenging the voting ban.
To regain voting rights in Mississippi, a person convicted of a disenfranchising crime must receive a governor’s pardon or win permission from two-thirds of the state House and Senate. In recent years, legislators have restored voting rights for only a few people.
The other recent case that went to the Supreme Court argued that authors of Mississippi’s constitution showed racist intent when they chose which felonies would cause people to lose the right to vote.
In that ruling, justices declined to reconsider a 2022 appeals court decision that said Mississippi remedied the discriminatory intent of the original provisions in the state constitution by later altering the list of disenfranchising crimes.
In 1950, Mississippi dropped burglary from the list. Murder and rape were added in 1968. The Mississippi attorney general issued an opinion in 2009 that expanded the list to 22 crimes, including timber larceny, carjacking, felony-level shoplifting and felony-level writing bad checks.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote in a 2023 dissent that Mississippi’s list of disenfranchising crimes was “adopted for an illicit discriminatory purpose.”
