The fall term of the Putnam cir
cult court, sitting in Palatka last
week, affirmed the judgment of Su
preme Justice J. L. Burton of the
Fruitland district court in the case of
Gutteridge VS.. Graham, wherein one
heifer calf was the futurity steak.
The Rev. Charles Ebenezer Gutteridge,
late of Winnipeg, Manitoba, claimed
certain calf which had been born TO
meek bovine owned by Col. Graham.
Rev. Gutteridge contended that the
calf was the legitimate daughter of
old black bob-tail, well known street
character owned by Gutteridge at the
time. The town was somewhat dl-
vided over the ownership of the calf,
though her calfship was well-known to
the people from having formed the
habit of lettering on the street corn
ers and leaving her trade mark pro-
miscously about, especially in the
quality hill district, much to the det-
riment of the ultra-fashionable white
shoe worn in that section. The large
ma iority opinion of the time, however,
was that Col. Graham was the real
owner of the calf. Knowing this to
be the majority sentiment the Rever-
end Gutteridge, who was also a law
yer qualified to practice in Judge Bur
toms court, asked for a change OF
venue. After argument this motor
was denied, and the case went to trial.
Judgment was finally rendered for Col.
Graham, and he retained the cal.
Gutteridge appealed the case. mat
was more than year ago. Now the
circuit court OF appeal has said that
Judge Burton's decision was right,
and Col. Graham can keep the calf,
which has now reached the mil >ing
era. The decision will not create
much comment for the Rev. Gutter
idge long since moved to south Florl-
da where he is engaged permanently
in giving spiritual advice.
The people in north Nolusia will
soon be called upon to vote for bond
issue to build hard surface road
from the Putnam county line to De
Leon Springs, distance of about IS
miles. This link will be connecting
one in the chain Of hard surface roads
which is to form a part of the great
Central Florida Highway, and at Sc
vile will pass through some of the
prettiest country in the entire route
from Jacksonville to Tampa. Seville
is in the centre of pretty country
as we'll as in a section Astounding in
splendid land, and would stand to gain
much by building this link of road.
The proposition is being strongly OPP
posed, and ]. C. Robinson of Seville,
one of the richest men in that sec
ton, is leader of the opposition. He
is afraid that building the road
will leave too heavy a debt to poster
iyt. He seemingly forgets that pos
terity will be greatly increased by
building the road-that it will do more
than any other one thing to fill up the
blank spaces in the country with live,
tax paying people, and thus increase
values and reduce the cost. This
country is increasing in population
faster than any other section of the
south. His reference to posterity re-
minds us of dob" Davis talk in Pa
IIatka a week or more ago. Mr.. Da-
lis apologized for an article he had
written in Dixie against bond issues
and the modern automobile craze. He
lid oboppad his mind and was sorry
