April 6, 1843    Charlotte Journal April 6, 1843
   UNION COUNTY -- We have been absent two days this week for the purpose of 
attending the organization of the new County of Union at Labatt's Cross Roads.
Although the weather was rather unfavorable for a general attendance of the 
people, still there was a goodly number present on Monday and Tuesday. We 
found the people were pleased with the idea of having a new county, and we are 
certainly gratified that the burdens of which they complained have been 
removed and hope they may never have cause to regret the erection of the new 
County. For the want of a suitable building the meeting was held in a large 
gin-house which had been fitted up to answer for the present. After the 
qualification of the Justices appointed by the last Legislature, they 
proceeded to the election of officers, who hold their appointments until the 
next regular election -- the clerks until August two years and the Sheriff 
until August year. It resulted as follows:
   HUGH STEWARD, Clerk, County Court
   D. A. COVINGTON, Clerk, Superior Court
   JOHN BLOUNT, Coroner
   W. M. WILSON, Sheriff
   THOS. P. DILLON, Register
   JOSHUA HARRIS, Entry Taker
   JAMES MARSH, County Surveyor
   DARLING BELK, Auctioneer
   The Special Court had not been elected when we left.
