THE CROSS
STATE HIGHWAY.
A LECTURE TOUR AT TOWNS
ALONG THE ROUTE.
Dragging Is the Object; Worst
Roads East and West of
Mexico.

"State Highway Engineer Cur.
tis Hill and d. Ward King, the in.
yentor of the road drag, will, this
month. make lecture tour along
the North Missouri Cross State
Highway" said Geo. Robertson,
president of the North Mo. Cross
State Highway Association, the
other day. "Their dates are as
follows:
Liberty, Monday, May q, l 100
p. m.
Richmond, Monday, May 81
7:3O p. m.
Carrollton, Tuesday, May 2S

Mexico, Thursday, May 30, 1870
p. m.
Montgomery, Friday, May 81,
1:30 p. m.
"The purpose of this tour is to
effect a complete system of road
dragging of the Northern Route
from New Florence to Kansas
City and also to complete an or
ganization in each place that will
take charge of and continue the
road dragging, making it a per-
manent matter. County Courts,
road overseers, district road com
missioners and farmers along the
route are invited and expected to
participate.
"It is of interest to the people
of Mexico to know that the
American Automobile Associa
ton, in making up its trans-conti-
mental route, has adopted the
Northern Route from New Flor
ence thru Montgomery, Wells
vile, Martinsburg and Mexico
thence westward to Renick as
part of the trans-continental
route from ocean to ocean. If the
people along this part Of the rout'
in Montgomery and Audrain
counties will do their part in con
structing and maintaining a good
road, there can be no question
that hereafter Mexico will re
main upon the route. The auto
mobilist is not going to leave Q
good road for the hills of Mont
gomery and Galloway counties,
from New Florence across to
Glasgow.
After the lecture tour and a
complete organization along the
route, the State Board of Agri-
culture accompanied by the Gov
ernOr will make a tour ovr the
route which will be done about
the first of June.
"Laddonia, Vandalia, Bowling
Green and Louisiana will be ex-
expected to participate in the
meeting at Mexico, and probably
meeting will be held at Van
dalia the next day after closing
the tour at Montgomery.
AT this time, and for some
Time past, the road coming into

donna and Martinsburg, has been
well dragged and is now in good
condition up to the eastern limits

done on the western side of the

The Late Revival-Early History
of The Church.


ed by DR.. VIM. Richardson, Sy-
nodical Evangelist of Tenn, as
sisted by Rev. Guy b. Duff, pastor
of Benton City Presbyterian
church, closed Sunday, May 5,
1912.
The meeting was indeed an in
teresting and helpful one.
Thirty-four united with the
church by profession of faith and
letter, and also baptism was ad-
ministered to twelve infants dur
ing the meeting.
Large crowds were in attend
ance at every service, but on the
closing day the crowd was too
large at each of the three services
to be seated within the church. A
number of people brought their
lunch and enjoyed the noon hour
by eating under shade trees in the
church yard. The afternoon SER
vice was devoted to a program,
of which we will briefly give
few statements thus made in each
of the reports, as well as to make
mention of the church business
transacted.
After two appropriate songs
and prayer the communion ser
vice was held. Then the church
history was read by Rev. Guy B.
Duff.
The Benton City Presbyterian
was organized Nov. 10,
1882, with eleven charter men,
bers, four of whom remain on the
roll of the church, namely: Mr..
and Mrs. Levi Watts, Mrs. Laura
Stumph, and Mrs. Emiline Neely.
Mr.. W. G. Hamilton was the first
and only ruling elder of the
until April Is, 1888, when
Mr.. Levi Watts was elected to
that office and continues to serve.
The following have served as
ruling elders: w. C. Hamilton. r.
Il. Brown, Levi Watts, George
Marshall, Chas. Cunningham, F..

Frank Pierce. The first deacons
Of the church were w. r. White

bert Harrison, William Erisman,
c. c. Cohoon, Ernest Lierheimer
and George Kellerhals.
The church has had the service
Of several ministers but Rev. John
+. Kerr was the first installed
pastor of the church, serving
from 1901 to 1908, when Rev.
Guy B. Duff was called, serving
from 1909 to the present.
The church has made a sub
stantial growth, ever since its
first organization. There have
been during its history 325 en-
rolled as members. Many have
been dismissed to other churches
and several have been called to
the membership in the Church In
visible. There are at present on
roll l60, all of whom are regu-
