Car. Falk Of Nauvoo left for st.
Louis last Saturday morning to re-
sumo his old position in the Anheuser-
Busch glass works Carl makes those
bottles from which you drink that
good ST. Louis beer. Mrs. Falk will
remain here for the present and with
the help of her mother will continue
to conduct the restaurant which he
and his wife purchased some months
ago.
John Leisy, wife and two ladies
were visitors in Nauvoo last Thurs
day afternoon. They autoed from
Keokuk to this city.
Moving pictures ought to be adver-
Using Nauvoo. The best film would be
the one showing an interurban line
moving through this Mormon city.
One OF the leading farmers Of Maui
voo's section made visit to this city
the other day and after finishing his
trading dropped into one Of our
barber shops for a pleasant call. One
topic after another was discussed.
Finally, that old, threadbare subject
of why the boys and girls OF this gen.
Grafton yearn to quit the farm and
hankered for the city was reached. Why
is it. we inquired. I'll tell you why,
said he, quietly. It's because we do
not make the farm and the home life
of the farm more attractive to our
children. Right now I am here to
purchase knickknacks and dainties
fer my folks at home-just the same
as they would have if we lived In
Nauvoo. Why shouldn's the farm
house have the same modern convent
ences of the city home? Such as the
hot-air furnace, or steam or hot water
heat and the air pressure water sys-
conveniences would tend to make life
on the farm more attractive. 1t would
solve the toughest and knottiest part
Of the problem. With the installation
Of these conveniences one virtually
would have city home and our boys
and girls would quit making for the
city where supposed ease and comfort
are the engaging features. This wise
farmer hits the nut with one crack OF
the controversial hammer.
Delightful Halloween parties were
held by the German Methodist ladies'
in the church basement and the
Young Ladies' sodality in the Mas
berg old building near st. Mary's
academy last Friday evening. There
was q fair attendance at each social
and a delightful time enjoyed by those
present.
1t is being reported that quail have
never been more numerous in Illinois
than this season. A drive on any OF
the highways about Nauvoo is sure
to disclose the presence of several
coveys and the season which opens
November II and closes December 9
should provide fine sport for the hunt
er. There are also reports Of fair
amount Of prairie chickens in some
sections OF the state. The limit Is
the same on this game. three per day,
but the season has been extended.
The open season is from November
II. to November %. Formerly the
open season was but six days.
It is reported that another mem
Der of the Nauvoo band will be united
in marriage before the Christmas
holidays and the band boys are pre-
pairing themselves for another oyster
feast.
There was an unusually large num-
Der Of farmers In Nauvoo last Satur-
day afternoon, caused by the sale OF
n. G. Bradley's 80 acre farm. The
farm which is about nine miles south
