The Glory OF Pike.

Her rock highways make the state
Of Pike great. says the Fulton
Gazette, e~nyiously. Next to her PEG.
pie. they are her greatest asset. Pike
has good towns-Louisiana and Bowl
ing Green and Clarksville-and she
mas fine farming lands and extensive
live stock interests, but her roads are
what make her stand out ~pre.eminent
among the counties of Missouri. She
has nearly 200 miles of as fine high
way as 1t Is possible to build. They
traverse the county north and south
and cast and west. 1t is possible to
20 almost anywhere WITHIN the county
on roads that are incOmparably better
than the streets of Fulton. Mud has
no tcrro:5 for the prosperous and en-
tcrpri>.I| r')plc of that county. The
pres. . :. elton knows nothing Of
mud by contact with it at home. Even
automobiles have II months of open
season every year. And Pike is keep
ing up her roads. Go out on them and
you will see wagons and teams haul
ing gravel, and mcn spreading il
where It is needed.
