PARKPLACE.
The aotion of the county court in
the appointment of a road supervisor
of road distriot number 11, is causing
considerable comment. Three peti

presented to the oourt. That of
Floyd Jones with 190 signatures; that
of John Smith, with 130 signatures,

ers and Mr. Witzig waB appointed.
Mr. Witzig is a Gorman and there are
about 40 Gorman voters in the pre
oinnct, who, while thoy have been
oounced as Republicans heretofore,
have become somowhat luke warm of
late and th's action of the county
court, many claim, is calculated to
bring thorn safely into the fold for
the next oampaigii. This calls to
mind a few lines from Professor
Tommyrine's celebrated work on
Zoology :
1 The spaniel is a funny cuss
You can teach him lots of tricks,
And if you want to make him love you,
Yon must give him cuffs and kicks.
"Tho dashhonnd, too, is a funny cuss,
But of a different kind,

If you want to make him mind. "
