NEWSPAPER Issue of FEBRUARY 18, 1846

A border war is likely to take place between Alabama and Georgia. Joint 
resolutions have passed the Senate and will probably pass the House, 
declaring the water's edge at an ordinary time on the western bank of the 
Chattahoochee River to be the line between Georgia and Alabama and providing 
the Governor with the right to defend the rights of the citizens of Alabama 
who have property on the western bank of the river, when violated or 
encroached upon by Georgia.
