Nauvoo, ILL.,, July l, 1914

Nauvoo next Saturday. and a flns
time assured everybody who will at.
tend. Manager Whitaker was a lit
tie slow IN making this announcement
in the Nauyoo papers SO as to draw q
big crowd from this side OF the creek.
But we will boost his amusement park.
not only for his Fourth OF July cele-
bration but for all future gatherings.
Nauvoo's fine band played on the
bluff on the Fourth last year and the
members were treated quite royalty
by the gentleman. 1t. is hoped that
Mr.. Whitaker will have record
breaking crowd next Saturday.
Nauvoos business houses will close
and public library will close all day.
The American floating theatre which
Is now on the upper Mississippi river,
will probably be the next show to
visit Nauvoo. When the floating pal
ace stops here on its downward course
she will receive a record breaking
crowd from Nauvoo and vicinity, for
the show is good one and well
worthy OF liberal patronage.
Over 5000 cases of peas that were
canned In Nauvoo this season by our
factory has been sold to a Chicago
house. The price received seems to
be satisfactory to those interested.
Manager Arbuckle seems to be the
right man In the right place and II he
can so easily dispose Of all outputs OF
the Nauvoo canning factory, the stock
holders should speedily make arrange
ments to can corn and place other
machinery 20 prepare stun for the
markets. There is nothing ever grown
in Nauvoo but what is far superior to
grown elsewhere and always
finds a ready market.
Two visiting ministers occupied the
pulpit of the Lutheran church last
Sunday and delivered fine sermons.

to give us the names Of the visiting
ministers, but we will forgive him
this time for he is very busy man.

picnic occurs mex. Saturday. It will
be held near the church building.
In way Nauvoo is prosperous.
Everyone here will have to admit that
fact But what about that nearly one
