The Nauvoo city council las grant
ed Mr. Chas. Mulch an exclusive ferry
boat license for period Of FIVE years
at $500 per year The question now
arises among the knowing ones, can
tho Nauvoo city council grant any one
an exclusive franchise to operate a
ferry system on a navigable stream
controlled by the government? ]. w
Reimbold, who has the express and
mail business between these two
points, intends to place a boat from
Montrose to Nauyoo and return. The
business does not justify two lines in
this trade and amicable settlement
between these two parties would be
beneficial to the business interests Of
the merchants of Nauvoo. The Indus
trial Association organization OF this
beautiful little city ought to take this
matter in hand.
Some of our citizens think they have
a bonanza in real estate holdings here
and hold their possessions at an enor
nous figure. The way to build up q
town is to try to induce people to 10
cate in our midst by reasonable prices
for real estate. This makes business
and brings business to Nauvoo or any
other town.
The recent possession of real estate
by the school district in the second
ward OF a lot adjoining the schoo
building from ]. w. Reimbold was a
wise purchase. The lot has beer
graded and placed in a condition fol
athletic exercises for the young ones
Mr. Max Kruger. one of the most en-
thusiastic members OF the board had
the work In charge.
Look not upon the cigarette while II
is white with light on the end, for II

several young men in Nauvoo who con
sumo more liquor and smoke more
cigarettes than anybody can look al
unless the both amounts are in 8
bunch.
It must be remembered that The
Daily Gate City Is read by every per
son in Nanvoo and vicinity. young and
old, and they get all the news. Al
the important local news before II
gets cold. Nauvoo people should sub
scribe for this important paper for II
gives all the news all the time.
Fourth of July comes but once g
year and our people should not lei
this year go by without celebration
1t is now high time to talk about it
We must begin now We can have a
sane Fourth of July right in the hear,
of the city which will benefit every
merchant in Nauvoo before and after
the celebration. Hamilton and Car
thage will celebrate and why not
Nauvoo. The most beautiful little
city In this section Mr.. +. L. Coon
er and his cohorts of Keokuk, would
come up and help us celebrate. Sen.
ator McManus might be induced to
come up and give us fine Fourth OF
July talk. BY the way, the Keokuk
senator is the finest talker we ever
heard on any subject. If the business
men Of Nauvoo would get together
and arrange Fourth OF July cele-
bration Of this kind, our little city
would be crowded with visitors. The
K. of c. OF Keokuk and Fort Madison
would come up and down and they
would all meet in our little park, and
with music and songs could entertain
all who come to visit us Let us try
this. Everybody don't want to 20
down TO Keokuk and visit the dam all
the time. II we can arrange this
celebration and get Mr.. H. l.. Cooper
and Senator McManus to come up
here and let them see what bunch
of people we can attract to our little
