The daily Gate City., 1914-03-12

but since Nauvooite showed us how |
to look at the matter In the right
way we have come to the conclusion
that we have great deal Of respect
for the "tightwad." We see In him
the man who is always able and Will
ing to pay his debts; we see In him
the man who is laying up for rainy
day, and we have never yet heard OF
a man Of that kind being sent to the
poor house. He is the man who hg-
sures everything from q business basis,
who does not let his sympathies gst
the better of his Judgment, and, TAX
ing it all in all, we find that the
"tightwad'' is about the best wad that
is now on the market. But what good
is ths "tightwad" to boost town?
Nauvoo's mail last Friday was tax

Nauyoo,s saloons were closed lass

mary election and many thirsty ones

A preacher In nearby town an
nounced that his would shortly write
on the subject Of farming. Now if
some farmer who isn't too busy will
write few articles on preaching and
some old maid will tell us how to
raise children we can all get along
until work on the Nauvoo interurban
| lins begins.
| Several Nauvoo Eagles took fly,
| ing trip to Keokuk Tuesday. Make u
machine not known.
| Only a few days more left until
spring, accordinging to the almanac,
| is here. But we will have to allow
several mora days Of grace.
! Just as we got all the horses in
Nauvoo automobile broke, couple of
our young men came along with those
j plaid caps on and now our horse own
ers have got to start and do the work
| all over again.
| Several marriages are listed for
| Nauvoo, to take place between now
and the month Of June. Well, it is
about time for we are seldom called
on to chronicle a marriage OF Nauvoo
parties.
| Most OF the talk about making the
/ tango respectable, as we'll as several
other dances, it from them that sits"
out all the dances, said Nauvoo girl
/ to her chum on one of our street cor

A pool room which has been In

4 A Nauvoo citizen had fine ham

time ago. Heretofore our people have
Z never believed in lynching. Still, they
J! believe that there are certain extenu-
ating circumstances sufficient to make
the most standpattingest Of th.m alter
their views.
Business is picking up In Nauvoc
