The Vernon Clipper January 30, 1880
PIKEVILLE ITEMS
	
There are two vacancies in the court of county commissioners of Marion County, 
occasioned by the removal of Commissioners JAMES SPARKS and ICCAM BAILEY from 
the county.
	
The warm weather during the winter has caused the loss of large quantities of 
meat in this section.

Rev. MR. CANSLER, preacher in charge of the Pikeville work, has entered 
vigorously upon the discharge of his duties.
	
Several of the Marion County young men are attending the school of PROF. JAMES 
WHITE at Millville.
	
A portion of the people of the Williams’ Creek Country are greatly agitated 
over alleged lawlessness committed during the holidays.  Prosecutions and 
counter prosecutions are the order of the day.  ESQUIRES CAMP and HAMILTON, of 
the Barnesville Beat, are adjusting the scales of the blind goddess for the 
litigants.
	
JERRY GUIN is acknowledged to be the finest looking man that comes to Pikeville.
	
The county jail has one occupant, an old man who is indicted for an assault to

There is a dead calm in political matters in this county.  The congressional 
race is not mentioned, and the county officers are rarely referred to.
	
No steps have been taken looking to the removal of the court house from 
Pikeville since the late election on that subject.  Some people who profess to 
know, say that there will be additional legislation on the question when the 
legislature meets, next winter.  Those who are opposed to a  removal to the 
Centre(sic) claim to be able to elect a representative who will secure the 
passage of a bill to run the Toll Gate against that place as the county site.
