MERRILL, Justice.

This is an appeal from a judgment in a paternity suit establishing the appellant as the father of two illegitimate children and fixing the amount of their support at $135.00 per month.

The question to be decided is whether the paternity suit could be heard in Jefferson County. The family court held that it had no jurisdiction. On appeal, the circuit court held that the courts in Jefferson County had jurisdiction and conducted a trial.
