"rhe county seat election came of on

There was probably not half the f1u

ways, made hard fight on thte legal
points. AS a rule we believe that cur

legal and right. and strictly according
TO law, will accept the result and get
down to business building up our town
But the matter IS as much unsettled as
ever from two points of view One is.
there is a case now pending in the su-
preme court of the United States, taken
up from rant county, which viii test the
right to move county seat when estab-
hshed by the act OF congress as this was
established, prior to statehood. and max
ing Of our own constitution. This case
viii probably be reached within a year
and will settle that question once and
for all. The other questions which VIII
confront the prospective business man
and capitalists is the assurance OF a rail
road being built from portht to south
through the country within a year and
with the same assurance that this rail-
rod Will buildits own towns Thus. in
either case, the county seat Is only tenn
porary."
