an Act to organize the county of McNairy,
alias Snake. At that time the country en-
braced within the limits of Snake was occu

iy unacquainted with courts, jails, etc. The
county assembled at the appointed site for
the purpose of cutting logs, making boards,
etc., to make court house and Jail. The
only theme of daily conversation, when the
men were assembled, was the court, etc.. =
None of them had ever seen court in ses-
sion, as vet developed. Each one would
give what his idea was OF a court, etc. None,
however, was entirely satisfactory, until Bill

in box in front of the fine dressed men,
The man that was writing gave the twelve
men book, and said something about Bill
Simpson and the State. Then one of the fine
men read something about Bill Simpson and
the hog and he and another of the fine
dressed men had the biggest quarrel you
