From Our Regular Correspondent
Your correspondent noticed in q
Wood River paper, few days ago. .
statement TO the effect that the sole
object Of agitating the creation OF the
new county Of Elmore was TO have a
county seat at Mountain Home and
thus raise the price Of property in that
town. While ~ the last named place
two months ago aud stopping week,
heard not word on the subject, bat
had 40 sooner arrived in this town
than it WAS found TO be the leading
topic OF conversation. II is the same
with the citizens Of Pine Grove who
come here. but the mort rabid OF all
are the Atlanta people. We are more
interested than the citizens OF Noun
tain Aemc, for the principal part OF
the litigation comes from this end Of
the county. The Atlanta people do
not expect the county buildings nor
do they here. Pine Grove may speak
for itself--your correspondent can not
speak for it ms he was never there ex-
cept to pass through it on the stage.
II is wonderful what subtcrfuges some
of the HALEY journals will invent to
carry this point.
