The Nauvoo Rustler says Nauvoo
has a citizen who is willing to donate
500 a year towards purchasing and
operating a ferry between Nauvoo and
Montrose; and further says that there
never was time In Nauvco's history
when we needed better connections
between these towns. We can state
right here without fear of contradic-
ton, that Nauvoo's ferry schecule and
accommodations are as good now as
it ever was in Nauyoo's history and
far beyond that. that the business
justffes Capt. John Refmbold is one
OF the most accommodating ferry
owners who ever sailed across the big
creek here and why the knockers
should knock him Is beyond our peo-
pl4s comprehension.
