Judge it!
The town was known as Smartsville from 1856 to about 1909 when the US Board of Geographic Names decided to change the spelling. Since 1909, the post office, maps and road signs identified the town as Smartville, but local residents have always used the original, historic spelling with the additional "s."
Finally, after nearly 100 years of confusion and consternation, the Board of Geographic Names may consent to restore the original name of this historic gold rush community. All local organizations are encouraged to write to the US Board to support this proposed name restoration.

Daily Horoscope for December 11
Leo
If you look closely, you'll see a black cloud hovering over a loved one's head. They'll find the smallest excuse for losing their temper or throwing a tantrum, so tiptoe around them or try to jolly them out of their filthy mood. If the situation continues you may decide that it would be better to get the inevitable argument out of the way than to pussyfoot around them any longer.
