smart silk Coats.

Black silk long coats are not new; they have been fashionable for two or three seasons. but they are still very smart They are made in one or two different designs. the favorite one be ing the style that has fitted back. loose fronts, full skirts. one or two shoulder capes and big sleeves in bish- op shape. Another favorite style is on a modified raineoat order, with fitted yoke. the material full below the yoke. straight fronts, double breas. ed and with small turned down collar. This is a model which is very popu- lar in blue waterproof silk, in blue pongee. or in the black taffeta. There is still another--a very shapeless and ugly garment. but rather smart-that has a small round shoulder yoke. and below this the material is gathered SC that the effect of Mother Hubbard wrapper seems to be the principal one It is too loose and clumsy a garment to look well excepting on a tall, slen der figure. and is best made in black silk

A ROAD IN MISSOURI.

built to grind out dividends. They were
tvs good. They have always been OPP
Grated as toll roads, those who use
them willingly paying the small fee ex-
acted for the privilege.
The county encouraged the early good
roads builders by Offering to become an
equal shareholder with the people. The
municipality of .Clarksvile subscribed
for 1000 worth of stock, and the farm
ers living along the surveyed route
helped the movement by contributing
the right of way.
The uniform width of the roads Is
thirty feet. In their construction a
grade twenty feet wide was thrown up
on the route of the survey. Some por-
tons of the roads cross many hills and
valleys, making considerable grading
necessary in places. Upon the graded
bed stratum of gravel twelve inches
deep was originally laid. The road was
then ready for use, and few months
of traffic packed the gravel SO solidly
that it became as smooth as floor
Among the later benefits derived by
the community from the splendid road
system is the establishment of rural
| free delivery mail route by the govern
ment. The carriers leave GAINESVILLE at
S o'clock each morning and by noon
have completed the circuit of the town
ship, delivering the days mail to near
| ly every farmhouse.
No tax is levied upon the people for
! the maintenance of the roads. They
are sustained wholly by the revenue
derived from the tolls. While the old
turnpike road, dotted here and there
with its tollhouses, is regarded in some
parts of the country as relic of years
agone, yet the system is so entirely sat
isfactory and the results are so patent
that there seems to be no inclination
on the part of those most interested tC
discontinue the toll system. 1t is argued
and very logically that the county
could not legally levy tax upon al
the people of the county for the main
tenance of road system peculiar tC
any particular community. The ex
pense of keeping the roads in repair Is
not nearly equal. mile for mile, to thai
required to keep dirt roads in ever
passable condition.

WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN.


Conditions Good for Preparing Ground
and Seeding, But Bad for Growth.
In many respects the weather of the
week ending April IS was most favora-
BILE to farming operations. While the
correspondents in Maine complain that
the ground has been too wet TO work in
good shape, those of the southern por-
ton of the section have had, owing to
the absence of rain, an excellent oppOr-
tunity TO prepare for seeding and plant
ing. With hardly an exception those
in the south report the weather too dry
for the best growth of the crops already
planted, although many state that the
rain of Saturday will be of much benefit.
Tie outlook for staple crops is still
considered good, although the weather
has retarded the growth of some. There
has been much preparation of the SOIL
and miscellaneous work done. In the
south more rain is needed, while in the
northeastern sections there is need of
more sunshine and warmer weather.
Tent caterpillars are reported as coming
out early and In large numbers.

excellent condition. The cool nights
have retarded too rapid growth and
tended to thicken it. a correspondent
in southwestern Massachusetts, states
that in all his experience as practical
| farmer he never saw a more promising
outlook for good crop.
Oats sown in the south are doing well,
and in the north their sowing is in pro-
gress.
Plum, pear, and peach trees are In
bloom in some sections, with the buds
ready to burst in others, as soon as there
is warmer weather. The outlook is
promising. Although somewhat winter
killed in some localities, raspberries are
in advance of the season. BlackberIies
are backward.
Many gardens have been planted and
peas are already, in the south, making a
good growth. Asparagus has been cut,
although some beds were Injured by the
frost.

are encouraging. Burlington reports
business about normal: manufacturers
are busy and labor is we'll employed;
jobbers find demand for goods of usual
proportions aud collections fair though
the retail trade is somewhat quiet owing
in part to the unfavorable weather. In
Rutland the marble business is active

concerns are busy and the new collar,

How the Pike County Gravel Roads
Were built and Are Now Maintain
ed-BeneGts the Farmers Derive
From Them.
The pioneer good roads builders ce
the west were the sturdy farmers of
the southeastern part of Pike county,
Mo-. who in the early fftes began the
agitation for highway Improvements
which crystallized in May, 1857, in the
organization of a company to construct
q gravel road from the city of Clarks-
vile to the village of paynesville, a
distance of ten miles.
The road, probably the first gravel
road ever built west of the Mississippi
river, was completed in 1850 and is Il
fine piece of good roads engineering. 1t
is doubtful if its equal can be found in
the entire country, says a writer in
The Good Roads Magazine. 1t was the
nucleus of general system of high
way Improvement in Pike county.
which now owns and maintains more
than fifty miles of splendid gravel and
macadam roads.
than thirty miles of gravel road, whose
fame is country wide. The belt road,
which has its beginning and end in
GAINESVILLE, Is twenty-one miles long
and forms loop into the rich agricul-
tural region in the rear Of the town,
making communication between city
and country easy and delightful.
That GOOD roads buildinp DayS Is at
tested by the fact that Calumet town.
ship boasts of being the richest agricul-
tural township in the world, its wealth
being greater than the sum that ThOm-
as Jefferson paid for the entire Louisi-
ana purchase $15,000,00O. Million
aires, seeking an ideal retreat for q
country home, have erected magnifi-
cent mansions along this highway, and
wealthy farmers live in easy comfort
within a stones throw of the famous
road, their chief recreation being daily
drives in handsome rubber tired car
riages over its smooth gravel surface.
The GAINESVILLE and Paynesville road
was originally built ny a corporation
known as the GAINESVILLE, Prairieville
and Paynesville Road company. The
projectors of the road operated upon
/ the broad principle that the public
| should be the beneficiary of highway
Improvement. and it is n matter of
pride to the people of the county that
not one dollar of dividends was ever
paid by any Pike county road company
to its stockholders The roads were not
