WILLIAM WADDELL.

At the session of the Board of Supervisors held in June, 1869, William Waddell and others came before that body with a petition for the removal of the county seat from Lewis to Atlantic. Mr. Waddell had been a school teacher at Lewis, for a number of years clerk of the district court of the county, and was well known as a brisk and substantial young man. A few months before his appearance before the board he had abandoned Lewis for the rival town, and was now in the employ of Franklin H. Whitney, as a representative of the Atlantic Town Company.
