chautauqua In Nauvoo for 1916
Nauvoo's chautauqua was provided
with a daily during its session last
week. A number of people said that
they could read the Keokuk Daily Gate
City every day and in the Nauvoo re-
porter's column could tell what was

Using, said the Nauvoo Gate City
furnished the best and most widely
circulated advertising the Nauyoo
chautauqua had before and during its
meeting.
There were no disturbances during
the entire week and not single ar
rest made by our chief of police,
which speaks well for Nauvoo with
three saloons.
We don't believe there is man in
Nauvoo who would have taken the
chautauqua proposition of of the
Civic league ladies' hands and expect
ed to break eve>. But the ladies did
and should be praised for it.
1t seems nobody wants the old set
tiers meeting in their towns in Han-
cock county this year. Nauvoo ought
to take it and our people could make
it grand success. All the old peo-
pie in the county would like to come
to Nauvoo to tell their experiences OF
pioneer life way back in the SOS and
COS and enjoy one day in this grand
old town and If Nauvoo would take it
the old people of the county would
consider it good news in these shaky
times.
