There is man in Nauvoo who de-
clares he has key in his possession
that was used to lock and unlock the
| front door of the one million dollar
! temple that the Mormons built in
this historic city. Another Nauvoo
man says that if this fellow had in
his possession a key that didn't un-
lock and lock the Mormon temple he
could qualify as a sure-enough ex-
pert relic collector. He says he
knows of three of these keys in ex-
istence, so the fellow is not fully
qualified yet.
The whole nation now joins with
President Wilson in cordially well
coming Mr.. Chas. Hughes to the white
house as a guest.
1t was announced at the white
house last Wednesday that President
! Wilson has asked that Thursday,

giving day. '....
Nauvoo people are complaining of
considerable colds, coughs, etc.
| Attorney Hartzell and Sheriff Mos
ley OF Carthage, were in Nauvoo last
Thursday gathering evidence in a
! horse stealing case that occurred in
! Sonora township last summer. Two
fellows sold or traded some plug
| horses to another fellow and then
went back to the barn and attempted
to get away with them.
| A chicken thief who entered the
barn yard and hen roost of Frank
/ Herbert, near Nauvoo, last fall, plead
ed guilty to the charge of stealing
chickens and received six months in
the county Jail.
We heard it whispered that num-
Der of young folks in Nauvoo are 60
| ing to band themselves together and
organize new dancing club for the
winter. Leaders of the proposition de-
clare that there will be most posi-
lively no dancing of the new-fangled
| ones. The resolution is a good one
but, will it be kept? Some of these
winter days visiting boy or girl
comes to spend a week or so in Maui
VOC town. These taboo dances will
be gone through in the private home
and then look out! Clubs before
! this intended Nauvoo club have said
taboo" to these new terpsichorean
| filings only to fall captive to them in
| the end.
Miss Hazel Hudson went to Car
/ thage last Friday to visit her friend,
Miss Gertrude Fulton, over Sunday.
A party Of eight bachelors met at
the home of one of them a few nights
/ playing 500, while the sister furnish
ed pumpkin pie. whipped cream and
coffee.
This month, November, is a great
month to find mildew on some of the
| jellies and jams.
! If there is any one thing that this
! town ever needed badly it is a rest
room for the accommodation of our
country sisters when they come to
! Nauvoo to do their trading. Nauvoo's
Civic league ladies ought to take up
| this matter and secure one at the
!: earliest possible moment.
| The Nauvoo school board ought to
give our teachers and scholars a va
cation of two days to extend from
| Wednesday evening, Nov. 20, to Mon
| day morning, Dec. 4, on account Of
| Thanksgiving day.
Mrs. Anna Jackson of Carthage
will visit her parents in Nauvoo for
! several days before taking up her
duties in Circuit Clerk John F. Scott's
office on December 1.
F. The advance in price of coal does
not affect Nauvoo people much now
t for nearly all here lay up their sup
ply in the early fall on account of
railroad transportation facilities. This
is one advantage town like Nauvoo
has without railroad.
The Denmire canning factory pre-
served about seven hundred cans of
tomatoes this season while Maui
voo's factory did not can one. All
the tomatoes our factory received
were prepared into pulp and shipped
away for catsup purposes.
Reorts from the apple orchards in
Nauvoo state that the season just
passed yielded a nice sum above cost
of gathering the crop. The average
price for the fruit was only one dol
expected they would receive a high.
er price. However, the yield more
than made up for the price received.
The condition Of the trees in the
orchards that were sprayed is report
ed to be fine, and next season, unless
something untoward happens, a gi-
gantic crop is looked for.
The price Of eggs had steadily ad-
far beyond the price paid during all
Of last and other winters. The soar
ing is due to several causes, and two
Of them are that hens are moulting
and not laying and chicken feed is
scarce as hens teet and sky high
priced. AS a consequence, farmcrl
near Nauvoo and our people are sell
ing their poultry TO BUYERS, thus cut
ting down the source of supply. The
hope later. that the price of eggs viii
decrease is unfounded. Judging fror
the situation here and towns else
where, eggs now are cheaper than
they will be until the springtime lay
ing begins. The price Of eggs in Nau.
VOC now is 81 cents.
News Is little scarce now in Nau.
VOC. In fact if there is any that does
not appear in this column we haven't
been able to find it.
Nauvoo has man who is nearing
the ninety year notch and is as spry
as fellows one-half his age. If this
gentleman keers up his present rate
