Dade County is a county in the U. S. state of Georgia. It occupies the northwest corner of Georgia, the county's own northwest corner is the westernmost point in the state; as of the 2010 census, the population is 16,633. The county seat and only incorporated municipality is Trenton. Dade County is part of the TN -- GA Metropolitan Statistical Area. In 1860, residents of Dade County voted to secede from the state of Georgia and from the United States, but no government outside the county recognized this gesture as legal. In 1945, the county symbolically the United States. Dade County was established in 1837 and was named for Major Francis Langhorne Dade, killed in the Dade Massacre by Seminole Indians in December 1835; the first settlers of Dade County won the land in the Georgia Land Lotteries, held to encourage settlement after the Cherokee people were forced off the land. Many settlers worked in regional coke and coal mines that contributed to development of the Chattanooga, Tennessee area; the area was long isolated by its geography of mountains and rivers, which some historians say contributed to early residents' separatist attitudes.

For the first century of Dade County's existence, no road connected it directly to the rest of Georgia, so visitors from elsewhere in the state had to reach it by way of Alabama or Tennessee. That changed in 1939 with the establishment of Cloudland Canyon State Park, Georgia began work on Highway 136 to connect U. S. 41 to the created park. The Civilian Conservation Corps built many of the facilities and access roads to the park. Dade County had a short-lived state secessionist movement before the American Civil War. In 1860, county residents wanted to secede from the Union, but lawmakers for the state of Georgia were cautious. Legend has it that in 1860, the people of Dade County were so impatient that they announced their own secession from both Georgia and the United States. On July 4, 1945, a telegram from President Harry S. Truman was read at a celebration marking the county's "rejoining" the Union. Historians say Dade's individual readmission were symbolic and had no legal effect, they say that Dade County seceded along with the state of Georgia in 1861 and re-entered the Union with the state in 1870.

The noted Southern humorist and seminal writer of Southern humor George Washington Harris is buried in the Brock Cemetery in Trenton. Although he influenced the literary works of Mark Twain, William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, his grave was not verified and given a marker until 2008. In 1964 Covenant College established a campus at Lookout Mountain. Founded in 1955 in California, it was ready to expand after a year. Several professors led Covenant to move to St. Louis, where it developed for eight years. After outgrowing its facilities there, the college decided to move to Dade County. Shortly after the Georgia State Quarter was released by the US Mint, Dade County gained attention because of an apparent mistake in the design; as shown on the quarter, the state appears to lack Dade County, in the extreme northwestern part of the state. Some accounts in 2012 suggest the exclusion was intended to refer to the local legend of Dade County's secession from Georgia. According to the U. S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 174 square miles, of which 174 square miles is land and 0.2 square miles is water.

The vast majority of Dade County is located in the Middle Tennessee-Chickamauga sub-basin of the Middle Tennessee-Hiwassee basin. A small part of the southernmost tip of the county is located in the Upper Coosa River sub-basin in the ACT River Basin, while a small part of the westernmost portion of Dade County is located in the Guntersville Lake sub-basin in the Middle Tennessee-Elk basin.

Bourbon Crow is the outlaw country project formed by horror aficionado Wednesday 13. They have released three full-length albums Highway to Hangovers, Long Way to the Bottom and, Off the Wagon on the Rocks. In 2007, an exclusive Texas tour in support of the debut album had to be cancelled after Wednesday 13 was involved in a car accident returning from rehearsals, leaving him with a broken collar bone and a fractured ankle. In May 2009, the band toured the United States in support of their second release, featuring Wednesday; this touring lineup included Wednesday 13 bassist Nate Manor on electric bass with Roman Surman as the electric guitarist. The band cite many country legends such as Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard as their main influences, claiming that Highway to Hangovers is a salute to these musicians; the subject matter of many of the songs on the record is comical, with satirical lyrics about such topics as alcohol and death however Bourbon Crow has never stated the album was a serious attempt at Outlaw Country.

From the band's Myspace page: "Bourbon Crow finished recording their sophomore release at Hooverama studios in Charlotte, NC. This is the same location Wednesday 13 has used for the past 12 years to record his Wednesday 13 and Frankenstein Drag Queens releases. A total of 13 songs were recorded for the release, titled Long Way to the Bottom. Only 10 of these songs will be used for the release; the recording session was video taped and maybe included with the finished product as a bonus." The album was preceded by 2 free podcasts. Long Way From the Bottom was released on May 5. After the band split with their previous record label, they went to Kickstarter to kickstart their next album, Off the Wagon on the Rocks. 2006 - Highway to Hangovers 2009 - Long Way to the Bottom 2015 - Off the Wagon on the Rocks Bourbon Crow Facebook

Gränichen is a municipality in the district of Aarau of the canton of Aargau in Switzerland. The river Wyna heads northwest thereafter; the valley has an average width of about 500 m. On both sides of the valley there are steep hills with tributary valleys and small high plateaus; the landscape is not dissimilar to that of the Tafeljura though - geographically and geologically speaking - Gränichen lies in the Midland of Switzerland. The hills on the left side of the valley are: Manzenberg, Wällenen, Moosberg and Pfendel; these are foothills of the Schornig. The hills on the right side of the valley are called Fuden, Räckholderen and Surberg. In front of the Breitenberg is the Schulthess which has the shape of an ellipsis; the Dossen und. Near the southern border, at an average distance of two kilometers, there are three hamlets, which belong to the municipality of Gränichen: Rütihof on Moorbergs and Refental between Breitenberg and Surberg. Gränichen has an area, as of 2006, of 17.3 km2. Of this area, 30.1 % is used for agricultural purposes.

Of the rest of the land, 13.1% is settled and the remainder is non-productive. The highest point is at 615 m above main sea level on the'Pfendel', the lowest point is at 402 m where the river wyna leaves the village; the seven neighbouring villages are Suhr in the nordwest, Hunzenschwil in the north, Schafisheim in the northeast, Seon in the east, Teufenthal in the south, Unterkulm in the south, Muhen in the southwest and Hirschthal in the west. History's first mention of Gränichen was around 1184 under the name of Cranechon. However, archaeological discoveries dating from the Neolithic, as well as the remains of a Celtic castle, show that the area around Gränichen has been settled for quite some time. In the 12th century Gränichen belonged to the monastery of Engelberg and came under the reign of the Habsburgs, who passed the government of the village to the Lords of the Castle of Liebegg. After 1415, Gränichen belonged to Bern; the construction of the Wynentalbahn railway in 1904 promoted the settlement of local industries.

The blazon of the municipal coat of arms is Azure a Bend counterchanged. The castle of Liebegg resides on a hill close to the border to Teufenthal, about three kilometers south-south-east of the village center; the Castle, which dates from the 11th century, is nowadays used as a center for culture and congresses. Near the village center one finds the "Chornhaus", built in 1695, looks similar to a small castle, because of its tower; until 1798 it served as a granary and was thereafter used by the municipal administration department for over a century. Since the new parish hall was completed in 1995 it contains a small village museum; the Reformed Church was built from 1661 to 1663 on the site. It is one of the main works of Protestant church building in the canton of Aargau, is listed as a heritage site of national significance; the other heritage site of national significance in Gränichen is the Untervogthaus on Lochgasse. Gränichen has a population of 7,735; as of 2008, 17.6% of the population was made up of foreign nationals.
