the bill to remove the court. hou,c To-
Sardis passes.
We have opposed the di.mcmbcr.
ment Of the county, and supposed
that both the Bell county and Web
sier county hills had received their
q%nietus, but il seems to the contrary
and that the alhercuts or these meas
ures are determined TO have a part
oi ourterritory either from thlnorth
or south. and that the proposed Civ
ing away OF that portion Of panola
south Of Yocona viii satisfy the
hungry desires Of territory seekers.
and that they win let Us alone with
this slight loss. IF we cannot be let
alone, then this is a less evil than
the Webster county bill, which takes
nearly a third Of the county Of Pa
uola.
This removal of the courthouse
has been n bone Of contention in
this county since its organization,
and the people on the north side of
the river, who were defeated by the
location of the courthouse at this
place, have ever been ready to take
advantage Of any circumstance hat
would cause the renewal. and thew
now claimas a cause for the removal
to sardis, that itisa growing, active
ilourishing town, with good accomo-
dations to visitors and immediately
on the railroad and very near the
centre of the proposed county, and
that Pamela is a dead town, and that
Pamela county will not be hurt by
loosing so small a part OF her terri
tory, and as a reason for giving away
the portion of the county south of
Iocona, that it will settle all claims
Of parties trying to organize conn
ties north and northeast ofthis coun-
ty. by taking alargc strip from Pa
nola in the north, and that some por.
ton of the county must be given up.
While on the other hand citizens
south Of the Tallahatchie river claim
that the county-seat is rightly To-
Gated and that they will be ineon-
venieneed by the removal and suf-
Ter taxation to rebuild q courthouse
and Jail and that the loss of private
property in value would be a serious
hardship and wrong; while the pro-
.%ieetors of the new scheme reply that
the county will not have to be taxed
for two years, and hat with the ma
terial of the old buildings that the
tax would be very hight.
Inc citizens OF the county are d.
vlded uponthis bill, whether it ought
to pass OR not, and jealous favorers
and opposers are 10 be found upon
both sides, so that there is no way
that We know of to ascertain the sen.
timents ola majority Of the people
except by ballot, and this would set.
lie the matter in tue minds of all, as
We are democratic people, and abide
by the decision of tie majority
without a murmer. The question
WILDE decided before the next issue
Of our paper whether the seat Of jus.
tice will be removed or not. We,
rs a county journalist, not knowing,
or claiming any particular locality
as our adherents, are placed in the
delicate attitude Of giving the facts
as they exist and leaving the matter
to be settled between the two sec.
