Habersham county is now going
through the mo$f unique cam¬
paign in its history—the removal
of the county seat from Clurkes
ville. to Toccoa. The election has
been called by the ordinary for
August 19th, and both Kjgjes are
endeavoring to induce the voters to
see the question from their respec¬
tive standpoints.
„ A short time ago the county
commissioners issued an order au
thorizing the building of a $20,000
courthouse.
Toccoa immediately offered to
build the courthouse und a new
jail, giving a jail lot and a beautiful
two-acre park to the county free if
the people would remove thecoun
ty scat, the estimate being that the
vahie of this offer br Toccoa is
$34,000.
So the question, as presented by
the Toccoaites, is, will the county
accept the offer of Toccoa and
thereby get a free courthouse and
juil, or will the people prefer to let
the county seat remain at Clarkes
ville and be taxed to build it?
