River boat shows ara becoming
quite numerous On the upper stream
this season. Three Of them will visit
Nauvoo this month.
It is too bad that Nauvoo's picture
show is not better patronized. The
attendance so far has bsen small The
genial manager Mr.. D. Lyons does
not claim to put up the best picture
show On earth. but he puts up as
good performance OF its kind to be
found anywhere. 1t is hoped from this
time on tbs attendance will grow lar
ger as the manager and show de-
serves.
More strangers visit Nauvoo at this
season than can be seen in any other
town in Hancock county.
The Nanvoo base ball team will go
to Kahoka, Mo-, Sunday to mset the

the fastest bunch they ever ran
against if reports are true and it is
hoped the drubbing promised them
will not be too severe.
A Nauvoo critic says we have some
"snipers' and when we run down re-
port we found out that he was the
snipe that did the sniping. He is now
busy sniping at the Patch and Payne
interurban railway line.
The peach crop In Nauvoo will fall
