Dividing the County.

Many people are anxious to know
when the Supreme Court will hand down
a decision in the matter of the dividing
of the county. 1t was only the day be-
fore yesterday some of the documents in
the case were filed in this city. These
have hardly yet reached the eyes of the
Court. 1t is probable that there are
other briefs still to file. If so, they will
all be in next week or the week follow
ing. The Court has ninety days in
which to reach q decision. The case
may be advanced and should bs on &C.
count of it's unusual importance but the
court is full OF business and how much
advancement is possible is the question.
