Itertainment last Friday night was at

1t seems entirely fair to say that the
majority Of the population Of Nauvoo
| fayors this city for an interurban line
during 1915. There is talk of line
through Nauvoo this season, but 1t will
| take something more than talk to
! build the line, no matter who furnishes
the mouth noise.
| If one could recall the summer and
winter OF 1854 one could remember
that the weather of this year has
been nearly a duplicate, said Maui
90 citizen to us. In the summer OF
1854 we had a most disastrous drouth
/ and virtually no corn was raised by
the farmers. There were abundant
acorns in the woods, however, and
hogs fattened well. The autumn was
warm and little dampness once In
awhile. In fact the weather remain
ed warm so that people were unable
| to butcher their hogs. The last end
| of the winter of 1854 was very mild
also, and all that the weather man
has to do this season to make it an
almost parallel with the year 1854 is
to give us mild weather until good
spring sets in.
We are going to have another full
moon next Saturday night, the sec
ond one this month.
