OPPOSE
COUNTY MOVEMENT
TO OUR REPRESENTATIVES IN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY:
WHEREAS, Citizens of a certain section of our County, appar
ently dissatisfied with continuing a century-old political relationship,
are urging the creation of "HANSELL" County;
THEREFORE, The Commissioners of Roads and Revenues of
Thomas County, express their regret at this action on the part of such
citizens and believe that such sentiment is only temporary, and that
if the territorial limits of the county are left unchanged, that the
> itizens In said section will soon be as well satisfied as they always
have been and agree with the res' of the county in continuing the
same boundry lines.
At times In any county, local conditions will cause dissatisfac
tion in different localities, but su-h is soon forgotten and is without
permanent effect.
Said Board, and the people i.i the rest of Thomas County, see no
reason for the creation of “HA-N6ELL" County, and particularly ob
ject to including any area within the said “County” against the
wishes of the inhabitants thereof, and we are convinced that of the
three militia districts, Meigs, Ochlocknee and Ellabelle, included, in
proposed new county, the latter two are more opposed to being “HAN-
SELL” County than are the people of Meigs to being in Thomas
County
This Board is firmly convinced that the promoters of this scheme
are more anxious to create a new county site than to create a new
county. The people of Thomas County feel towards the people of
the Meigs district as they do towards each other, and regret that
’here is a feeling of estrangement on the part of their good friends
in the vicinity of Meigs, with whom they would regret very much to
Part.
Said Board, in behalf of the people of Thomas County, urge our
Representatives in the General Assembly to use their best efforts to
defeat this attempt*#! inroad upon our already greatly reduced area.
Respectfully submitted,
W. A. PRINGLE, Chairman.
