For some timet nast we have nothing about the county -seas simply: because every settfer of Graham county khows Hill Citv's central nm- sitioiu Bcins two miles and a half east of the centre of the county; and situated opon the populous side of the river, sapplied as it is with good water, surrounded by a level country, its natural advantages are not doubted by any one in the county. All people, whether residents of the county not, say that this is by rights where the county-seat ought to when considering its fine location.

But our neighboring scattered here and there, with poor town sites and no water, or if not that fault they are away from the population are-putting in every possible effort.
