The chancery court at Brownsville
has granted the injunction to restrain
the organization of the new county of
Wisdom. In speaking Of the decree the
Henderson Advocate says: "Of course
two or three men can give whole COM
munity trouble If they try, but in the
end they always bring more trouble up.
on themselves. We know of one man
who attempted to defeat the organiza-
ton of new county, and failed, but got
terribly mashed up with lawyers fees
and costs. Now, we don't know who
the parties are who have made them
selves meddlesOme in this matter, but

disconnected and come to grief. When
their lawyers are done fleeing them, we
want them handed over to the authori-
ties of Wisdom county on a hill for
dame ges, so that by the time the affair
is ended they will not have q nickel in
their pocket, bnt the contempt Of all
fair-minded men everywhere"
