OFFICE OF
Clerk of Chancery Court
WILKINSON COUNTY,
(W. C. MILLER, Clerk.)

Woodville, Miss., Dec 12^th 1878

To His Excellency Gov Stone
Jackson Miss

Dr Sir

Your favor of the 6^th inst to hand, and in reply will state from the most reliable information that I can obtain, that the reason why the Citizens of the 5^th Dist of this County petitioned you to appoint John Davidson a Justice of the Peace for that District, is because they have no J. P., the elected J P for that end of the District (A K Farrar) died last summer, and at the last general Election there was no election held for Constable. I am satisifed that both the Gentlemen are qualified for the position.

Very Respectfully

W C Miller
Clerk
Chcy Court
