ty. last week." said N. r. Gentry,
president Of the Columbia CONNER
cial Club, in a recent interview. "The
two days I was there twenty-eight
automobiles passed through this lit
Tie town. This is q very large
number OF machines to visit one
small place in two days.
"These twe~nty-eight machines went
through Roanoke and the towns Of
Mexico and Moberly before they
reach Roanoke instead Of coming
through Fulton, Columbia, Fay
cite or BoonvilIe and the reason Z
because the state highway which
passes through these latter towns
and the counties is in such condi
tion that automobilists will NO
take the risk and inconvenience O
travelling over 1t.
"These twenty-eight cars car
ried an average Of four passenger
each, making liz persons who visit
ed Mexico, Moberly, Roanoke ant
the country adjacent to these plac
es instead Of coming through Boon'
