zen or ruraIite whose attitude toward
the Lake Shore drive is that q ques,
ton is never settled until it Is settled
i right, and their attitude is not influ-
enced by the considerable amount of
bunk that Is disseminated Nauvoo
! supervisors at their meeting at Car
thage next week when they will take
| the Appropriation for bridges for the
! lake drive in hand.
1t will take about two weeks more
/ before Harold Rheinberger will be
! able to be out again from recent OPP
GRAFTON. He Is getting along nicely at
/ present.
One of our crusty old bachelors was
4 heard to say that this would be a
grand world if everybody was as
sweet and nice as our widows and
grass widows. And this is leap year.
A ruralite living a few miles below
Nauvoo offered $500 reward for a
dog which was lost some time ago,
but has not yet been found and the
| little son who owned 1t is not very
cheerful over 1t. That's the worst
about dogs, they are always running
away and making the little folks I'M
happy.
The Ladies Priscilla club will hold
| its regular twice-a-month meeting next
Thursday afternoon. Another gossip,
fancy needle work and scrumptious
time is expected.
Our city council meets next Monday
evening.
There was Waubonsie Trail meet
ing held in Nauyoo council rooms last
Friday afternoon.
Some of our people the looking up
time tables and routes these days,
and quite an exodus will go on this
spring, as it We're.
Frank Weisinger, our livery man,
held a public sale Saturday afternoon
Elmer Wilson will take charge of the
barn and has also rented the Nauvoo
Independent barn. He expects to do
big livery business.
1t is said that Ed Kelley, who had
! fight in one of our saloons some time
ago with Jas. Ford, had a finger or
thumb badly chewed up, was compell-
ed to have an operation performed on
/ the member to prevent blood poison.
| His arm was also badly swollen. The
/ parties engaged in. the quarrel hail
from rural districts.
4 Prospective after lenten season we'd
dings are frequently talked of IN
Nauvoo now, telling that the delight
/ fnl honeymoon is almost here. 1t
comes in the good old spring and sum
mer time in Nauvoo and in this grand
and beautiful town is the land in all
the world where it can be passed with
the most sensuous delight. Here the
sky. the sun and the scenery are in
! harmony with the poetry of youth and
love. Take bride, take a ride on the
4 lake-to-be, and be happy ever after
provided you make your home in Nau
VOC.
Crossing the big creek here with
the mail and passengers is yet consid
cred safe and our mails arrive ex
peditiously when the trains are OIL
r time. Nauvoo was fortunate this sea
Y
I. bridge from Montrose and the islands
Some here are asking 25c per blu
, for sole coal and it is scarce at that.
II 1t will soon be time to put in YOU
!. rutabagas. Spring is only eighteen
+ more days off, if it arrives on time.
March is here-the promised time
when one of the three trolley com
r panies in the field promised to begin
i construction work on the interurbal
from Hamilton through Nauvoo t
a Niota We are willing to give them
Q few weeks more on account of tn
n weather But it is not known whethe
@ all preliminaries are settled. Sprin
s and summer time are poor seasons I
a build interurbans on paper and that
n. the way they have been built all viii
,e ter. Now that the actual building sc;
If son for interurbans has almost arri-
80 ed one of these companies ought I
re start construction or flee to the wild
"a Awhere they cannot be seen or hear
from again. Nauyoo has not hear
h, anything of her Industrial Associ
ca ton for some time and 1t may be tn;
the members are out pushing matte
10 with one or all of these interurbs
st promoters to begin work IN this PROF
n, ised month of March.
