The Navasota Patriot says: "Talk
Of removing the court house from
Anderson to Nayasota is being in.
dulged in to small extent, and
we have been told that many of
those residing in the extreme north
ern part Of the county, who fought
the question in the past, are favor
ing it now. The matter Of locat-
ing the court house here and
making this city the county seat
has always been in favor with
nine.tenths of the people of the
southern part Of the county, and
the fact that nine tenth+ og ouI

or other business at Anderson,
would make it not a bit harder on
them to come here at first"
