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.
