NAUVOO, Ill, Aug. 3-The early
variety OF grapes are being harvested
land shipped out Of Nauvoo now. Nau-
WOO Is going to have the banner grape
crop this year of 1911. We can make
a conservative estimate regarding this
years crop. There will be shipped
via Montrose. Iowa, about $50 car
loads and about five car loads for
domestic purposes. The nearby neigh
tbors and our PEOPLE will put up this
luscious fruit in great quantities on
account OF the scarcity of other fruits
Ut is also estimated that over 1o0.-
900 gallons OF wine will be manufac-
fured here.
1t is reported that about 600 Nor
mon elders will visit Nauvoo In the
Emonth of September. These people
will enliven things in Nauvoo, their
hold stamping ground.
That dam power at Keokuk and
Hamilton will bring us an interurban
lime from FIT. Madison through Nau-
WOO to Keokuk. We need it and want
St and are going to have it, but will
mot get it until the water power plant
lis nearing completion. 1t is hoped
fthat the promoters now in the field
twill succeed in providing us with this
Emuch needed necessity It is a big
paying proposition from the start and
local capitalists ought to build it.
First come, first served, and will re-
lceiye the glad hand of our people.
Last Sunday night while two of
four young mer were out riding with
Etwo OF Nauvoo's fair daughters they
lmet with what might have been a
jserious accident They drove down
South Thirteenth street where the
road is dangerous proposition on
account of two steep hills whit a
bridge at the bottom. The horses
became unmanageable and started to
back when at the dangerous point,
and the occupants jumped out and
the horse and surrey went over the
embankment, and strange to say the
only damage done was broken shaft.
Quite a crowd went down to assist in
bringing the horse and vehicle on
the road again.
Many tourists can be seen daily in
iNauvoo now. Bluff Park supplies us
with many of these people.
The hill, known as Martin hill on
West Mullholland street, is being cut
down.
Nauyoo has moving picture show
pequal to that OF Keokuk, but we have
lonly one show during the week and
ION Saturday night.
The corn crop in the vicinity Of
Nauvoo is now assured. The late
srains placed the crop in condition
that will make the crop as good a!
the pastures.
It looks now like Nauvoo will no
'have any more band concerts, anc
while they are trade-getters and SO
scial amusement for our people. i
s6eems that our business men do no
fcare for them. These concerts en-
iiven the old town and bring tn
lpeople out The Industrial associatio,
ought to take this matter in han,
tand bring these concerts to a success
