Rensselaer Gazette, Volume 3, Number 46, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 March 1860 — COMMISSIONER'S COURT. [ARTICLE]

COMMISSIONER'S COURT.

The Board of Commissioners of Jasper county is in session this week. No business of particular interst is before the Board. It was understood in tbe early part of the week that a petition would be presented, asking for the formation of a new county out of certain territory in the eastern part of Jasper—the proposed county to be called after our model (!) Governor, Willard. Who was the originatorof the scheme we know* not, but like most works of daikness it was destined to an untimely fate. A large majority of the residents of the territory remonstrated against the petition, and we understand it will not be presented at all. We are not sure that the name selected for the pro posed county was the cause of its early decease, but presume it was. At any rate it should be.
