SECTION 1. That the county line between Bedford and Rutherford counties be changed as follows: About 1 1-2 miles west of the village of Midland, in Rutherford county, at a point in the Byles road, where the county line going east reaches the northwest corner of J. M. Williams’ farm, let it be turned southeast and north around said Williams farm until it comes to where the line now leaves said farm, going east between the farms of A. H. McLain and B. N. Davis, both deceased; thence east with the line, and as it now runs till it reaches the northwest corner of that part of B.A. McLain's farm, which lies south of the dirt road running east from the Midland and Shelbyville dirt road to the Murfreesboro & Shelbyville turnpike; thence southeast and north around the above described part of B.A. McLain's farm to its northeast corner; thence with the meanderings of the ridge dividing the waters of Stone and Duck rivers as the line now runs, so as to include in Rutherford county all of J. M. Williams' farm, and that part of B. A. McLain's farm which now lies in Bedford county, and south of the road above mentioned.

SEC. 2. That this act take effect from and after its passage, the public welfare requiring it.
