Henderson when he was elected To-
the Senate. This is an old south
ern town and was u thriving city
long "befoah the wah," when the
Mississippi river was the highway
of commerce. Across the river on
the Illinois side, is the other Pike
county, where the late John Hay
held forth as a youth and perpet-
uated its name with his Pike
County Ballads. "
Louisiana has several hundred
business firms, population of
about eight thousand, one fifth be-
ing cOlored, and is nestled between
the hills along the great father of
waters. These hills are so rugged
that farming operations are en-
tirely out of the question but are
we'll adapted to fruit. The Stark
Nursery is located here, the great
est horticultural garden in the
world, and gives employment
TO hundreds of people. These hills
are now selling at from 800 to
5000 per acre as they contain great
mineral solution so necessary in
the making of cement, aud great
works are now being installed,
which give ii stability to business
uneXcelled, as the use of cement is
just beginning aud the deposits
here are inexhaustible.
Until recent years several tobac-
60 factories were operated here
but the trusts" gave them the
privilege of selling or being
squeezed" out, so they chose the
former and this industry has been
centralized at st Louis. A new
shoe factory has recently been
completed and is now starting.
This will prove a great benefit.
"Befoah the wah" five thousand
negro slaves were held alone in
Pike county. Now that they are
free and sovereigns they are doing
business for themselves in more or
less successful degree. In this
town you will find the M. e. and
