Now everything is ready for the
Nauyoo chautauQua and this city in
yites all to come to this beautiful
town and visit OUT big entertainment.
Threshing in Nauvoos vicinity has
commenced and all farmers are anx-
ious to get through at the earliest
possible moment.
Floyd Heberer and John Johnson
have opened a garage in Nauvoo and
will utilize the warehouse owned by
Lou Hudson opposite the Nauvoo
electric light plant.
Nauvoo's undertaken has purchased
a. fine hearse from Burlington parties.
which he will use in his business here.
The Royal Neighbors OF America
have delivered cheNk for $1,000 to
Ed Hudson, the amount Of policy
held by his wife in the Nauvoo order.
Frank Kerl OF Nauvoo has built
several fly traps out OF large barrels
and sold them to some of our bust
ness men who want to get rid OF the
pesky fly without swatting them. The
traps certainly do the work and II
number Of them were placed about
the city very few would remain at
large in Nauvoo to carry about germs
and poster our residents. Frank
ought to apply for a patent on his
fly pen.s
Come into Nauvoo this week with
out knocking and visit our chautau-
qua and stay the same way. This
very thing might be used as a slogan
universally.
Nauvoos picture show last Sunday
evening was a good one and well
worth going to see. 1t consisted OF
five reels and pleased all those who
attended. The crowds attending
hardly justify the management
in keeping up the movies in Nauvoo
and he may discontinue unless he re-
ceives a more generous patronage in
the future.
Nauvoo gardens are fired badly and
most everything is in need OF rain.
1t has been over four weeks since 1t
rained here.
Jake Schtni of Nauvoo has been
making fairs and celebrations aroSnd
the near country, selling trinkets
that delight the children, such as toy
balloons, etc. He usually does a fine
business during the celebration sea-
son.
Somebody has well remarked that
the public official who goes Dragging
about his political party is a bore
and lacking much in wisdom. People
have outgrown such childishness in
Nauvoo and don't give a whoop about
mans party, but they are begin
ming to care heap about what their
salaried servants do to earn their
pay. It's performance people want
nowadays.

 The following account of prize fight In Santiago. Chile, was written by a Chilean sporting journal scribe for the benefit of the Engliah-speak- Ing fight fans there:
 According to announcement, tho match de box between the boxeadors, Jack Murray and Ferdinand Pirano, disputing the championship of South America, was realized last night at the Casino.
 From an early moment the house was full, so that not single place remained. Terminated the prepara- tIons which the case required, the pu- gil.sts were appeared and Introduced.
 Round l. After some brief mo- ments. Murray, with a straight from the left, touched the mandibula of his opponent. Separated, Murray entered again with O new straight of the left, also on the maudibula.
 Round 2. Murray directed straight of the left and an invitation of the right Cfelnt) Pirano attempted 70 at- tack him on the estamago, whicf was slde-stspped with disdain by Murray, who tlien entered with a straight of the right. which touched Plrano very seriously.
 Round 8. Pirano Is attacked of the left and right very simultaneously many times.
 Round 1. T'lrano receives various straights and fell twice. lifting him. self with difficulty.
 Round 5. l'irano received several straight and crosses until he fell knock out. The regulation ten seconds was enumerated that thereafter Mur- ray was proclaimed champion of South America.
 "The encounter-in general was de void of interest which 1t mer,ted. The conquerer during the whole time dem onstrated the most gentlemanly fesl- ing. even at times to the extent of re- fusing to strike his opponent He was applauded with great heat by the pub. lie. did not applaud for the tired feeling they engendered."

Four or five three round bouts will be pulled off and several good comedy stunts VII be interiected between them to give a touch Of high life.
 The Treadwell boys always so after blood from the tap of the gong and great care is taken by those having charge of the arrangements to always match the boys fairly even.

WHAT DO YOU OWE
TO YOUR COMMUNITY

Friend, stop and think what you
owe to your community. But first
stop and think what your eommun-
ity has done for you.
How many men in your commun-
ity have accumulated what they
have outside of that community
Very few, you will admit.
Now, how was it possible for you
TO accumulate property Was it
purely by your own exertions, or
did not business conditions con-
tribute largely to the result? If
you are farmer, and were your
farm a hundred miles from civiliza-
ton, what would it profit youG How
much wealth could you amass?
No, friend, your holdings are not
solely the result of your own ener-
gy. The entire population of your
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1916-11-21

community has contributed to your
upbuilding.
What though you are the most
capable lawyer or doctor, if you
are located in sparsely settled
country where there is little demand
for your services, what does your
capability profit youq
What of the expert builder if
there are no houses to build9 What
of the engineers, if the nearest APP
proach to a locomotive were the old
ox-wagon of our grandfathers9
SO you see that wealth is very
largely a matter of environment.
Without populous community all
men are at a disadvantage in its
accumulation, and as the commun-
ity grows in population the oppor-
tunities for accommodating wealth
increase.
This by way of reminding you
that however "self-made" you may
boast yourself, you are in reality
"community-made," and you owe
debt to your community. And the
size of that debt is in exact pro-
portion to the amount of your hold
ings in the community.
Now if you owe this debt-and
we do not think you will dispute it
isn't it up to you to discharge it
when called upon to do SOP
How many times has your com
munity called upon you in vain
when plans for its betterment were
being made9 A road was to build
for which funds were not available.
Did you contribute? A school house
was to be repaired and the grounds
beautified Tow much did you help?
Your church was old and out of
date, and the membership wanted

THANKSGIVING.

From the time of the landing of
the Pilgrim Fathers, Americans
have been accustomed to set aside
one day in the year wherein to re-
view the past year and take stock
of the dealings of Providence with
us as people.
What was at first the spontane-
Gus expression of grateful hearts
soon became custom, and as the
years sped this custom became fix
ed, until today it assumes the sacred
ness of a permanent institution.
This season is again with us.
The fruits of the broad acres of
our fair domain have been garnered
in. The warehouses and graneries
are fairly bursting with their con-
tents and prosperity sets a guest at
almost every Preside.
Our President and the Governors
