New Militia District Bid Postponed Indefinitely
In Gainesville Georgia on August 31 the plan to form Chestnut Mountain militia district from Flowery Branch Clinchem and Morgans was postponed after Morgans and Clinchem objected that it would reduce their male 21 to 45 population below 100, leaving the new district in doubt as A. W. Morrow recovers from fever. The three commissioners Morrow Wood and Hanes will report later.
