 We realize" said Judge Jackson, ''that unless we can get further than our county lines, what roads we have built will be of only limited value to us."
 Judge Jackson said that the state highway leading from Moulton to the Margon county line, still lacked three sections of being completed, sections c, B and A. Section B, which is the middle section of the Moulton-to-the TWin-Cities section, will be completed in A week of ten days. the section being a stone-asphalt road similar to the Bee Line highway. By the middle of next spring, state Mir. Byars, Sections c and A will be finished. Both Judge Jackson and Mir. Byars explained that despite the fact that the stone-asphalt sections would not be completed by winter, that the old pike was being kept in such repair as to make travel easy all along the way from the Twin Cities to Moulton during the winter months.
