The leap year sisters VIII coon en-
ter the beginning stretch of 1916, and
expect to land something before the
home stretch.
Every time the janitor cleans out
some business house here somebody
ought to give him a boost In the home
paper.
ALI the Nauyoo boys and girls VIII
be home from school for Christmas,
and the home young man VIII spruce
up to meet the girls. The Spalding
institute and ST. Narys academy In
Nauyoo Will be lonesome places for
awhile on account of the pupils be-
ing sent home for the holidays next
week.
Every once In q while somebody
learns that safe Is sometimes moth
ing more than notice to the burglar as
to where he can get the money.
or burglarizing bust
ness house ia something almost I'M
known in Nauvoo, but that is no reason
our people should not use every pre-
caution necessary to foil those gentry
that do the work, for they may visit
you without giving you formal notice
at any time.
Only sixteen more days left for you
to practice writing 1t 1915.
II you cannot afford to buy a seat
In the Nauvoo opera house for coming
plays, It doesn't ease your dtsappoint-
ment any for you to knock the opera
house plays.
At the Nauvoo State bank now can
be seen fine display OF prize corn
where there is a contest on and prizes
will be distributed to the lucky ex-
ihibftors next Tuesday, December q
Besides taking an interest in the
farmers product, distributing hand
some and convenient calendars, this
fine banking institution Is doing an
excellent business and ably rejecting

The is" club OF Nauvoo will give
social dance in the opera house mex
Thursday evening. Good music ant
good management will be the order O
the evening and nice crowd OF oul
incest young people is looked for t
be present.
The automobiles are getting less OF
the roads and many are out OF commls
sion on account Of bad going ant
many faithful old Dobbins, in ant
around Nauvoo are between shafts ant
working overtime. Automobiles are
great invention, but 1t Is going to b.
many years yet before they take thu
place entirely OF the horses wht
have to do duty out in the agriculture
communities.
Nauvoo ministers ought to set asid'
a certain date some time this white
for everybody in the entire town t.

.,hild in the community, except tn
sick-abed, and nurses, should be es
Ipected to attend services. Many,
course, would think OF some plan t.
dodge this request Of the Nauvo
!clergymen, but their names should D
put down on a list in advance, for the
ARE all known, and the most depend
able church goers must be given tn
assignment to go and bring them an
; see that they are in the pews /
proper time. We dislike to admit tina
iNauvoo should think UP first some
thing that would be good for lou
town" and other places could do Sc
too. Maybe, later on, we might TT
this idea here. Guaranteeing 1t t
work out with the best OF results, how
, ever. is going to be another matter.
