May Change the Comity Site. 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? ■o S.
