Names for Country Roads.

The indianapolis Press finds there is
a movement in many parts of Indiana
for the naming of country roads on the
same plan as now used in designating
the streets of city. Wherever it has
been mentioned it has been received
with favor. The chief and only diff
Guilty seems to be that there is nobody
with authority to look after the matter.
Nur is there anyone to act as arbiter in
the selection of names, and 1t is said
that the proposition to name a road in
one county gave rise to dispute be
tween seven factions, each favoring a
different name. 1t can be imagined that
If it were proposed to name a road
jackson" some too-preindiced repubIi
can might object, while a democrat
might disapprOve of calling it "Hamil-
ton," and even Dewey's name might
arouse objection among admirers of
AguinaldO. Given an agreement on
