A MEETING AND ITS CONCLUSIONS.

At meeting composed of body
of prominent citizens of Greene
County called to meet at the school
house in Leakesville at 7:3O P. M.
on the 18th day of February 1908,
Dan Mcleod was elected chairman.
The purpose of said Mass Meeting
being to fairly and without malice,
discuss the question of New
County to be called George, and to
be composed of the Northern part
of Jackson and the Southern part of
Greene counties.
The ques tion'of such having been
fully discussed, and every point
of the consequences of said division
having been fully and fairly discuss
ed it was by77a unanimous vote of
said Mass Meeting declared that the
formation of said New County would
ultimately result in damage to more
people than it would benefit.
1t. was therefore resolved that all
honorable and fair methods be used
to defeat said measure-while we ad-
NIT that few of the citizens in the
territory proposed to be formed in
to New County, are subjected to
some i'll conveniences on account of
court facilities. Still we believe that
to estore to these people the conven-
fences they seek, would result in a
burdensome taxation On the Masses
which would be unfair.
1t was therefore resolved that the
people composing the opposition to
said New County use all fair and hon
orable means to defeat said measure,
and that the chairman of Mass Meet
ing is hereby authorized and is re-
guired to appoint at least two Rep
reSentative citizens in each Beat in
Greene County to operate in their
different Beat, to defeat. the organi-
zatiOn of said New County whereup-
