ARE WE IN MISSOURI? 

The talk of a re-survey of the Kansas-Missouri line was at fever heat in Galena last week. The people in East Galena thought they were going to be put over in Missouri, the line being drawn at a point between here and the eastern part of town, it was said. The TIMES knows little or nothing of the survey. Some three or four weeks ago it was said surveyors were at Fort Scott and declared that half that town was in Missouri. The line is said to be true of Pittsburg. In short, the Kansas line is said to be about two miles west of Galena.
