Electric Roads Could Link Madison County Towns
Edwardsville Intelligencer reports potential electric road development from St Louis through Collinsville to Edwardsville with construction delays likely temporary. Interest grows in a line from St Louis through Granite City to Edwardsville, seen as unifying the county and lowering transport costs, though Granite City may yield greater results. Substantial work force in Granite City and commuters from St Louis would prefer Edwardsville living conditions, if swift electric cars erase distance.

Oldest Pear Tree in Midison County on Alfred Joseph Farm
The oldest pear tree in Midison County and perhaps Illinois stands on Alfred Joseph’s farm south of town in Section 28. Planted in 1818 by pioneer Mr. Fowler, the tree measures ten feet in circumference and about fifty feet tall. This year’s crop is estimated at twelve to fifteen bushels, with historical yields as high as forty six bushels. If a still older tree exists, the paper invites information. Nearby, Mombeard Gun Club meetings at Rieder’s Park continue, with members improving in marksmanship. The Union Sunday Schools plan their annual excursion on August 16, using Vandalia Line at 70 cents round trip, and a free bronze clock is advertised from A. Kleins. Subscribe to The Ua.
