The Vernon Clipper September 19, 1879
PIKEVILLE ITEMS
	
The election that came off in Marion County on the 6th inst., on the question 
of the removal of the court house, resulted in an overwhelming defeat for 
Pikeville.  The new point selected as the future seat of justice is eight miles 
north east of Pikeville on Buttahatchie, about one mile below the Hacelburg 
ford.  The law provides that the new county buildings shall not be let to 
contract until one half the estimate cost of building them is paid into the 
county treasury.  Hence it is not probable that a court will be held at the new 
place within the next five years.
	
The Marion Circuit Court convened at Pikeville on the second Monday in 
September, JUDGE MUDD presiding, and SOLITICOR NESMITH prosecuting for the 
State.  The Court continued in session until a late hour Saturday evening, a 
longer session than has been held for many years.  Quite a number of cases was 
disposed of, but none of them were of nay considerable magnitude.  HON. G. W. 
HEWITT, JUDGE JONES, JOHN B. SANFORD, S. J. SHIELDS & J. D. MCCLUSKY were in 
attendance at court.
