Bill to Create County Passes the House Inanimousl). No Opposition at all. Will Pass Senate Also. The bill pending before the Georgia legislature to create the county i»f Toombs with Lyons as the county seat, and which was unanimously reported favorably by the Senate and House Committees last week, passed the House Monday without a dissenting, vote, and a motion was made and unan imously carried that it. be transferred immediately to the Senate for action. The bill'was called up at eleven o'clock Monday morning and in ten I minutes the vote was taken, which re- I suited in its pa-sage by a vote of loi to nothing. Not a word was offered against it. thus showing the great pop ularity of our proposition. rnus " * a rmlv the second victory, X mu eveJ, as it now goes to the Senate, j From that body we have nothing to j fear. They are anxious to get through , with the new county legislation and it | is the general opinion that they will accept the report of the two commit- • tees as presented and passed by the House., Vidalia sent fifty or sixty delegates last Sunday night to try and have the) lines changed, but they made a failure, ! and we believe they are now satisfied , to accept Toombs county with Lyons , as the county site. Now that the fiht is over, we want to | insist on the great barbecue and love feast. We want to see all the citizens of the new county united and we will then have cne of the richest and best counties in the state of Georgia. We do not censure our Vidalia friends for I the part they took in trying to get a , court house, but we do want to see , them take their defeat like true men should, and they can then join us in the noble work of building up the , county and making it a bright spot on the map of our grand old state. i Notice to Rural Carriers.
