In the controversy at the court
house, Wednesday. over the

county, namely: The West Fork

the people who populate these
two respective valleys are not
united and cemented into one
whole. If this Mason and Dixon
line that divides them could be
for a few years obliterated, it
would not be a great while until
Calhoun county would be as good
as any county. Until it is there
will be nothing of any conse-
gueHce done TO improve her.
