FROM AN OLD SCRAPBOOK
DICKINSON COUNTY'S
HISTORY RECALLS A
COUNTY SEAT FIGHT

Dickinson. h hundreoth
county of the Oldest common
wealth OF the sisterhood, was
formed in 1880, OF portions OIL
Wise, Russell and Buchanan
counties, Wise giving much the
largest share of territory TO the
new formation.
An effort had been made prior
to that date to have a new coun-
.ty formed, probably more for
the sake of convenience than to
be separated from the counties
that were to contribute their ter
ritory TO the proposed formation,
Tor Wise extended to the famous
Breaks Of Cumberland Mountain,
a distance OF fully fifty miles
from the seat of justice, while
Buchanan included the major por
ton of Mcclure Creek and its
tributaries in her territory, plac-
ing the county-seat nearly forty
miles from those most remotely
situated.
But the matter was bungled
and the effort proved futile. How
ever the second effort two years
later was better managed and a
new county was formed at the
meeting of the general assembly
of 1890.
New County Planned
Jasper S. Colley, then repre-
senting the legislative district
composed of the counties of Wise
and Buchanan, introduced the bill
for the formation of the new
county. The name proposed in the
bill for the county was Stonewall
and that of the county seat was
Jackson, both names conferred in
honor of General Thomas J.
Jackson, who from the firm stand
OF his men at the battle of Bull
Run was given the name of
"Stonewall."
There appears to have been
some manner of disaffection be-
fore the final passage of the bill,
and William J. Dickinson repre-
sentative from Russell, became
nominally the patron of the bill,
using his influence to secure its
passage, in consequence of which
the name was changed to Dick
.enson, in his honor.

The Soviet army paper Red Star
has said that there was "a wave of
popular indignation in Poland" over
failure of the Beirut regime to be
invited.
The British admittedly were con-
cerned over news of the treaty, espe-
cially over its possible duration
taking the view that if it were fol
a term of years and did not have
provisional clauses covering the
present situation, it would appear tc
deadlock the Polish issue unless

Slightly larger than the United

1t is the auditorium of the Vet

The first thing the delegates to

is a statue of George Washington,
who worked for a high place for
the infant United States in the
family of nations-and warned
against "entangling alliances" The
statue is a copy of famous Houdon
work.
