\ bill providing for holding two
terms Of circuit court each year
AZ Mountain Grove and two al

that has brought more excite

Sed more discussion than even
the proposed League OF Nations.
Mountain Grove proposes to
build \ court house Al that place
giving our county two court
houses. The plea Of those favor.
ing the passage of the bill is that
it would prove u great convent
ence 10 the residents Of the south
side OF the county. as they could
have cases in which they were
interested set for trial at Noun
tain Grove and so there on the
Frisco instead Of driving to Hart'
VILE, While the residents of the
north part of the county could
still so to Hartville as in the
past. SoNe maintain it is the
plan of the bill to ultimately
move the county seat to Noun
tain Grove, but Mountain Grove
