when delegations from the counties
south gathered here yesterday to 90
to the Union City meeting, they got
together in the Early hotel parlor and
proceeded to transact business.

commissioner who was here, was in
vited to attend the meeting and he
stated that the Meridian highway had
been established along the Chisholm
trail and he would have a surveyor in
