The PROPOSED REMOVAL Of THE COUN
TY CoURT TO BARTLETT.-A few days age
we mentioned an effort on the part o.
prominent citizens of Bartlett Station tc
secure the erection of the County Court
House at that place. AS matter Of
general interest we subjoin the petition
to the Legislature now in circulation;
To the Citizens of Shelby County
We, the undersigned citizens of Shelby
county, will apply to the Legislature of
the State, at its next session, for author.
ity TO establish the county court house at
Bartlett, on the Memphis and Ohio rail-
road, for the following reasons, to wit:
The town of Bartlett is the geographi-
cal center of the county of Shelby, and
the most accessible point to the citizens
tersection of the Memphis and Ohio
railroad, Memphis and Somerville plank
road, and Brownsville and Germantown
roads.
The great injustice to the citizens of
the county who have business with the
court to attend at Memphis, subjecting
them to such enormous expense, requirs
ing them to be away from their homes,
while their business at home is neglect
ed. From this point persons having
business with the court can return to
their homes at night from every section
of the county.
There are many violators of the law
who 90 UNPUBLISHED because of the great
expense and inconvenience which the
prosecutor would be subjected to in
going to Memphis. The cost of court
house in Memphis wonld amount to
about 100000. One can be built at
Bartlett for oneseHth of that amount.
In point of economy the courts can be
held at Bartlett at less than onehalf the
present expense of holding them. The
following courts are already held in
Memphis United States court, Grim
inal, Common Law, Chancery and Mu-
nicipal, which are heavy burden upon
the taxpayers, and considerable annoy
ance to the business men of Memphis.
The Common Law court has concurrent
jurisdiction with the Circuit court Of the
county. The city OF Memphis has, by
an act of the Legislature, the Register
Office and Deputy County Court Clerk.
As an act of justice to the citizens Of
the county, We think they are entitled
to the county court house. 1t is well
known to the citizens of the county, that
for some years past efforts have been
made, and with much encourage cement in
certain quarters. TO annex a large portion
OF Shelby to Upton, and il all the
courts Of the county are persisted 10 be-
ing held in the city OF Memphis, It will
result in the dismemberment Of the
county.
Establish the county site at Bartlett,
the center Of the county, aud this will
harmOnize all opposition. Grounds
suitable 10 erect a court house upon will
be donated to the county by the citizens
Of Bartlett.

epidemics, swell watered, and very pleas
