Nauvoo is on the map again and a
thriving community, and, as you seq,
breaks into print every now and then.
Nauvoo is again going to allow an in
terurban line to pass through its Dor
ders. This time it will run from Quin-
cy through Warsaw, Hamilton, Niota
| to Burlington. The money is raised
and will be placed at the promoters
disposition by January /, 1914 and will
be completed through Nauvoo In about
year thereafter Nauvoo has had so
many paper railroads heretofore that
nothing will convince our people but
to see cars running into and through
the most beautiful little city on earth,
situated on Lake Cooper. Mr.. Marsh,
the promoter, may be in Nauvoo soon
to ask for franchise and we hope
our council and people will grant it to
him in advance if he will only build
the road

Here is the annual cheap turkey"
yarn. Thanksgiving and Christmas
turkeys will be more plentiful this
year according to jobhers who have
/ been investigating the supply for the
( holiday season. So far the estimates
/ show more turkeys than for the last
! three years. 1t is also reported that
the Christmas turkey will be cheaper
than the Thanksgiving turkey, this
being due to the fact that the turkey
crop will only partly mature by No
/ veInber 15. In a few places in south
ern Illinois turkeys are selling as low
as 10 cents a pound. Nauyoo people
will not obtain their holiday supply at
this price or double, perhaps. 1t Is a
whole lot to be thankful for il turkeys
/ will be much cheaper than last Year.
i Already many Nauvoo people have
4 their eye on the kind Of turkey they
are going to have for THANKSGIVING. II
will weigh about ten pounds and they
are saving up their two dollars to buy
it with. Figure it out Nauvoo people.
