At a-meeting of the citizens of Lex*
" igton/held in tho Court-bonse on
Monday night, it was resolved that
Vo6 following petition be made to the
yjfozens of Lexington County:
f Fei^ow Citizens:?-By an Act o 1
; ip Legislature nearly seventy years
ago UMPCourt-honse and jail of Lexington
County were built on the site
they have since occupied. "What is
now Lexington Village was then an
almost unbroken forest, and the spot
v, as selected by our lawgivers because
it was near the centre of the County,
i',id therefore equally accessible to all cf
citizens. The reasons which actuated
our fathers in the selection of
this site, in preference to all others,
is the paramount reason^ to-day why
eba :;,'cv except to tbe

'.ced c$rf. -io _ ! ihe- -eoonty,
ifcd of other localitiee&to remove to
-.iiia, centre for buSpess, and other
purposes; and although the entire
business portion of the village was
usstroyed by fire during Gen. Sherman's
raid in 18G5, it has been since
rebuilt, and the real^tate of Lexingr
abfe as It* was "before the war. t
Our village is not the outgrowth of ]
: oilroad location, and travel, result
ing from the development and diver- ]
sion of local resources from the com- (
n*on center, like our would-be rival, i
C ilbert Hollow, and therefore she \
L is suffered very, seriously by the c
-wid diversion of her former trade \o c

modaiion of the people of the county
^ What would yoa think of the propo
siiion, and (be reason assigned foi
making it? Wonld yon consider thai
snch a flimsy pretext as that conic
, justify the expenditure of time an^
money on the part of a half dozer
disinterested men in riding over the
county to get signatures to petitions
to effect snch an end ? Woold yon
not, fellow-citizens, expect to find a
better reason back of that? and that
those persons circulating and advocating
snch petitions were paid Well
for their services? or were owners of
real estate around the spot on whieh
they wished the Court-house to be
built?
We have said that two-thirds of
the people of our county would have
to travel from one to ten miles farther
toreaeb the Court-house if it should
be removed to Gilbert Hollow, thafr
Uiey now ao we'xnow
