BOLIVAR COUNTY.
A Formidable Petition Against
Division.

To the Honorable Senate and House oil kepreseh-
tatives Of the State OF Mississippi;
We the undersigned, cititizens ana
tax payers Of Bolivar county, respect
fully represent that an effort Will be
made at your next session TO pass an
Act relative to the division OF our
county, and submitting that question
to a vote.
For many reasons we deem 1t to be
unwise, improper and impolitic that
such measure should receive your
sanction. This county, although large
in area, has much unimproved land,
still covered by the primeval forest,
the population is sparse, and OF TINS
population, comparatively few con
tribute to the support, materially, OF
the county government.
We have large bonded debt rest
ing on us, our expenses are heavy, and
our taxes are onerous. A division OF
the county would add greatly to these
expenses, and there would be cores
ponding increase in taxation. For
these and many other good and sutfi-
cient reasons, we are. unalterably op-
posed to division, and believe that a
majority of our taxpayers have the
same feeling, we respectfully ask that
YOU, in the exercise of sound discre-
tion, and with an eye single to the
best interests of our county, will pur-
sue "a wise and mastery inactivity"
in this matter, and decline to pass any
act whatever, bearing upon this sub
ject, as vote on it will embitter and
filrthnr divide Our DArtV
