THE GLORY OF GREENE COUNTY.
Jefferson Bee.l
The glory of Greene county lies in
her graveled roads. Do you know,
gentle reader, that we have the best
highways of any county in the state:
Perhaps not the greatest number OF
miles of good roads, but the best
roads as far as they go. Messrs.
wessling, Walker, Haag and Smith,
who represented this county at the
state good roads meeting in Des
Moines last week. say that stereopt1-
con views were shown there of the
roads of various counties, and when
the Greene county roads were shown
on the canvas, the audience united in
saying that they We're the best roads
of the bunch, being straighter. better
graoed and better made in every re-
spect. Our cement bridges and Gull
yerts also attracted lots Of attention.
Greene county being almost the
pioneer in this kind of work. Such
reputation as we are gaining regard
ing our highways is worth dollars to
every farm owner in the county, as IT
is certain to ultimately have an effect
on the price Of Greene county land.

fore the railway committee of the
house and made strong argument
against the proposed anti-pass law.
Why should the railroads object to
taking AWAY from them a right that
only reduces the revenues of their
business? If there were no passes the
companies would increase their reve-
nues by at least ten per cent. We be-
lieye that it is a fact that ten per
cent of the travel on our railways Is
free. It is a dead head. Take away
