Miss Zelda Walther was Warsaw
visitor this week and from there she
went to Quincy. where she attended
millinery opening. This young lady
will open a millinery emporium In the
Russell building in short time.
Quite number OF Nauyoo people
60 down to Hamilton daily to attend
the chautauqua going on down there.
Wonder how many people from Hamil-
ton attended Nauvoos chautauqua
last month?
The forest fires in Canada recently
gave places for miles around a dense
yellow color which has not been ex-
perienced since the famous Yellow
Day OF 1882, when the explosion OF
volcano IN Java sent yellow wave
around the world.
The Caufman's open four night S
amusements campaign in the Nauvoo
opera house tonight. The company is
reputed to be a splendid one and
should be greeted by crowded houses
during their stay in our city.
A splendid million dollar rain visit.
ed Nauvoo last Thursday night, clear.
ed the atmosp here and cooled it to
degree Of great pleasure.
About half dozen or more of Nau.
VOC young ladies held a basket lun-
cheon in one of the cool and shaded
spots about Nauvoo the other day.
The young ladies had pleasant time,
except for an exciting half hour, dur
ing which a spotted large snake took
full possession of their lunch. Who
killed the snake?
'The House of Thousand Candles
will be produced in the Nauvoo opera
house Sept. 4. This is one OF the fin
est plays ever written and endorsed
by the greatest critics.
VIM. Argast has had his residence
reprinted as we stated in a recent is.
sue Of this great family journal, but
we made a mistake and we cheerfuliy
correct. His residence has been re-
painted albright but Gus Wallet instead
OF VIM. Argast Jr., was the artist and
he did beautiful job Of it. Gus is
one of the finest house painters in
Nauvco and does an honest job where
ever he goes and makes the paint
stick, wear and look neat.
Although Nauvoo's Women's Civic
league lost about $40 (now this
amount is authentic and neighboring
papers please copy.) We will have an
other chautauqua next wear. Just
think of the measly sum of $40 stag
erfng Nauvoo ladies. Not on your life.
Nauvoo is going to nave bigger and
better chautauqua in 1917 than she
ever had and the ladies are going to
| eclipse any chautauQua in this section
You people from neighboring towns
are invited to come to lvauvoo to WIS.,
it us and our chautauqua in 1917.
An excursion came to Nauvoo Fri
day, the day before today, given by
the Chittenden & Eastman company's
employees OF Burlington. The steamer
Sidney arrived here about noon and
deposited about half of the human
freight, which consisted of near $50
souls and the balance were taken to
a would-be summer resort, across
Lake Keokuk, called Bluff Park. This
beautiful and ideal spot across from
Nauvoo Is an inviting place and at
tracts many visitors during the sum-
mer season. But she has none of the
curiosities that Nauvoo has and those
seldom seen things are irrigating
joints that Iowa may seldom see
again. Our neighbors had a splendid
time fnves tigating how these irrigat-
ing plants were operated while visit
ing in Nauvoo last Friday. We can
say this for the Burlington excursion
lists, that came to visit us last Friday:
They were fine buch. behaved peo-
ple,. whether they were raised in Bur
lington or not.
Are we coming to this: Five hun
dred autos strung along Mulholland
street. Nauvoo's business section be-
fore the winter season begins. Nauvoo
is the best business point in this sec
ton right now and we. can prove it.
Watermelons, sweet potatoes and
grapes will be plentiful in Nauvoo by
the first of next month. Come to Nau-
VOC and be happy, contented and heal
thful.
ALL excursions will lead to Nauvoo
before the summer ends. 1t is the
land of the free, brave and liberality.
