The work under Harry ]. Kent OF
FIT. Madison, on the boulevard extern

road ana leading finally to Ft. Madi-

number Of men under his supervision
it is q marvel what they accomplish.
Several days ago with that powerful
explosive. dynamite. in a short time, a
giant boulder was sundered to pieces
and the fragments were used In rip
trapping the lake shore road. This old
boulder was undoubtedly one that was
brought here during the glacial period
and was only second in size to the
one embedded near Mormon Springs
about five miles above Nauvoo which
holds the record on the shore line be-
tween st. Paul and New Orleans All
the fills OF this boulevard extension
have practically been made. The top
dressing OF the road surface will be
completed in short time, and then
If the road officers Of the next town
ship will further extend the Keokuk,
Nauvoo and FIT. Madison boulevard
on this Illinois side Of Lake Cooper
on to FIT. Madison, there will exist a
road In this Mississippi valley OF
which all people may well feel proud.
The Keokuk water power people have
| a man in the person Of Harry Kent
who knows his business In road max
ing and gets the best possible results
out Of the force of men employed by

men are at pre- cent making Nauvoo
their home.
Holiday advertising will soon begin
with rush and Keokuk merchants,

fore Christmas time. The early bird

ter stock buyer in this section and
George keeps the live stock market In
