DAVIDSON, Presiding Judge.

Appellant was convicted of violating the local option law, his punishment ‍​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‍being assessed at a fine of $63.50 and twenty days imprisonment in the county jail.

There are no legal questions presented for revision. It is ‍​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‍contended, however, that the evidence is not sufficient. The State’s testimony shows a sale by the defendant to the alleged purchaser, Collins. Collins testified ‍​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‍that he bought a quart and a half, or a quart and a pint of whisky from appellant and paid him $3.75 for it. ‍​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‍Appellant denies the transaction. This formed an issue of fact for solution by the jury. Hnder this condition of the record we would not ‍​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‍feel justified in reversing the case. The judgment, therefore, will be affirmed.

Affirmed.
