GEORGIA CLAIM,

BY compact, entered into by the United
States and Georgia on the Cd. of April, 1912,
the latter coded to the former a large tract
of land lying south of Tennessee, in conside-
ration of which, the U. States agreed 10 paw
the State of Georgia $l,25O,OoO, to provide
for the adjustment of the Yazoo claims, and
to extinguish, at their own expense, for the
use OF Georgia, as early as the same can be
pe0eedoy obtained, upon reasonable terms,
the indian title to the lands lying within the
limits ofthat State. Since that time Is, 744, 900
acres have been ceded to the State of Geor-
gia, in the acquisition of which, the United
States have expended $7,735, 243 without in
GLIDING any portion of the expenses of the
Creek War, by which upwards of seven mil

TOWN AFFAIRS.

At the town meeting on the Sd inst. the
committee previously appointed for the pur-
pose, reported in favor of building large and
commodious town house, the first story to be
devoted to the transaction of the towns bust
ness, with two large halls above. one for the
use of the Agricultural Society, and the other
for Masonic hall, They also recommend a
basement story under the whole, to be fitted
for Market-house. The report was accept.
ed, and large committee was appointed to
make the necessary examination, and report a
suitable location. We hope that this ques-
ton may not be determined without due de-
liberation, believing that the selection of a
suitable spot is Of more Importance than is
generally supposed. We are decidedly op-
posed to placing it in the centre of the Com
mon as has been proposed. That Common is
capable of being made one Of the finest spots
in the country and we should extremely re-
greet to see it spoiled, by having town house
and market placed upon it, and believe that
great measure, be defeated by placing it there.
Although in the vicinity of business and pop.
ulation, it is not, as it should be, al place
where people resort for other purposes.
The business and population of this town
are rapidly increasing, and improvements
should be made with reference to our future
prospects. We understand that the number
OF our rateable polls has increased between
sixty and seventy, within the last twelve
months: If the whole population has in
creased iE the same ratio, it will make an
addition 10 our numbers in that time of more
than two hundred and fifty, nearly all of which
has been in the compact part of the town.
Under these circumstances, therefore, we
hope, that, in a matter of such Importance,
no 'triiiing pecuniary considerations may in
duce us to take step, which will be re-
GREETED both by the present and succeeding
generations,
