ciety for cooperating with rising poH-
ticians desiring to keep out OF the
newspapers. Nauvoo's council doesnt
need views. 1t needs plan. It IS
the mayors business, as the ADVISOR

j doesn't his honor give advice, instead
of inviting all sorts of irresponsiDles
who know no more about city parks
than they do about biogenesis to de-
LUCE that bewildered body with ran

Homegrown watermelons and can

| The Nauvoo ball team went to
Lomax, Ill, last Sunday tc play the
team of that city. The game proved
to be an interesting one and took ten

clubs played good ball throughout the
game and the fans present got the
worth of their money. The score STOOD

the damage done only to the tenders.
A block and tackle was secured and
the auto was brought out with no

! These are the days when school
children wish that the time would stop
moving forward. The end OF their
vacation is drawing nigh.

the present situation with the reflec

Their are two little hamlets along
side OF one another in this state thai
have these names, respectively: Wide
Awake Hollow and Sleepy Hollow. The
story goes, and there is no sensible
reason for doubling it. that all the
boys of the one place are in love with
the girls OF the other. Now the Ques
ton is: Are the girls the Wide-Awake
Hollowites or the Sleepy ones? These
hamlets are extremely interesting
