SECTION 1. That a part of the dividing line between the counties of White and Bledsoe,be so altered, as to leave the line, at present dividing the said counties, at the point where said line crosses big Laurel creek, running thence down Laurel Creek, so far that a parallel line with the present county line, running from said Laurel creek to Bee creek, and thence up Bee creek, or down the same as the case may be, to the mouth of Glade creek, thence up Glade creek to the present county line, will include the plantations or farms, on which Thomas F. Barnett, Jonathan Acuff, William Campbell, George Gregory and William Graham now live. And the surveyor of Bledsoe county, is hereby authorised and directed, to run and plainly mark the said line between Laurel and Bee creeks, for which the county court of Bledsoe county is authorised to make him a reasonable compensation, to be paid out of any money in the county treasury not otherwise appropriated; and the line so designated and marked shall be the true dividing line between the said counties, and the territory lying, between the said line and the old one shall be attached to and considered a part of Bledsoe county, Provided, that the plantation of John Mitchell, shall be attached to, and constitute a part of White county; Provided, also, that nothing in this act contained, shall be so construed, as to include any other person or persons in the said county of Bledsoe, other than those mentioned in this Act, or to prevent the sheriff and other officers of White county from collecting taxes and other debts in their hands for collection at the passage of this act, from those persons attached to Bledsoe county.
