THE CE COUNTY DEBT
Vance Must Pay Granville
County *1, COO.

Speaking of the recent decision of
the Supreme Court in the case of Gran
vile VS.. Vance County, the Oxford
Day says:
In the cebrated case of the Commits
sioners Of Granville county VS.. COM
missioners Of Vance county, the State
Supreme Court decided that there was
an error and modified the judgment
Of the lower court.
When Vance county was erected 1t
took three townships from Granville
county, and our Commissioners sued
the Commissioners of the new county
for its proportion of the old comfy
debt. The claim put in amounted to
something over $4,000. The decision
of the Supreme Court scales that sum
down to about $4,000, which Vance
will have to pay.

Lake Galilee, in convent, at Bethel where
Jacobs pillow was stuffed with dreams,
and the angels of the ladder landed; at
the brook Elah, from which little David
picked up the ammunition of five smooth
stones, four more than were needed for
crushing like an egg-shell the skull OF
Goliath; in the Valley of Ajalon, over
which at Joshua's command, Astronomy

battlefield of ages, it's long red flowers
