“"In summary, personal process was had upon defendant through the Secretary of State on November 18, 1965, returnable to the December term of court. It was properly executed for that return term. Miss. Code Ann. § 1848 (1956). Defendant failed to answer at the return term, although the process had been `served personally' on him, in accord with the last sentence of Code Section 1519. Thus the trial court was authorized, on motion of plaintiff, to enter the default judgment. Cf. Miss. Code Ann. § 1547 (1956); Id. § 1519 (Supp. 1964)." [ 194 So.2d at 236 ].”
