Nauyoo will need number OF me-
chanics soon to work on the building
boom which will be ready for brick
masons and carpenters soon.
Spring time is here again in Nauvoo

future. There are almost enough
members in this city who belong to
the Keokuk order to institute lodge

There are four candidates for the
Nauvoo postoffice but If 1t is true that

the lucky one.
