Opinion

Cooper, C. J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

The appellee’s claim against appellant was not upon open account, but upon a contract of employment by the month at a fixed and definite sum. The affidavit contained as full information as could be given by filing an independent paper. The claim did not consist of “items,” and therefore an “itemized account” could not be filed. An item is an article; a separate particular in an account. Webster’s Dictionary.

The judgment is affirmed.
