The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1916-04-05

the warm weather comes to stay. An
early breaking up, followed by cold
weather is bad for seeding.
And now all the towns that did
not go dry at the township elections
last Tuesday will begin making
faces.
The building of sewer in Nauvoo
will add one more to the long list
of good reasons why the home-seeker
should seek no further than Nauvoo.
The steamer Keokuk touched the
Nauvoo landing on her up-river cruise
from Quincy to Burlington, Tuesday
morning, her first trip of the season
and her welcome whistle was music
, to the ear of all those who heard
it, She had a large cargo of freight
! and returned south in the evening,
equally well laden with goods. Our
merchants now have a way of send
ing and receiving goods expeditions
ly. which the winter season does not
afford We will have a tri-weekly
service until little later in the sea-
son when a daily packet will touch
j Nauvoo's wharf. Nauvoo is now on
the map to stay until next winter
and we hope Captain Blair and his
steamers will have q lucky and pros
porous season.
! If everybody in Nauvoo works to-
gether in Nauvoo. 1916 will be the
saddest year in history for the Maui
VOC fly.
! Two gentlemen from Burlington
were in Nauvoo Monday investigating
the ACCESSIBILITY of operating garage
! in this old town and felt favorably
! impressed with conditions here. They
| left for their home town after pur-
chasing a second hand Ford auto OF
! Floyd Heberer, but may return soon
and EN- bark in the auto garage ven
ture.
/ There is a new song on the mar
! ket entitled, "The only one at home
now is Mayonaise and she's dress
! ing"
The glow on the horizon is due to
! the rapid approach of the Easter hat.
| Nauyoo's prospect for getting an in
| terurban railway line is at a standstill
again. Nauvoo's committee that is
to start out and secure portion of
/ that $4,000 subscription is ready to
/ begin work and are waiting for the
promoters, Messrs. Petsch and Payne,
to come to Nauvoo and deposi. s10,-
J 900 in our banks as a guarantee of
good faith, to be forfeited to the
committee if the road is not built and
after work is commenced when the
necessary amount of the stock is sub
scribed.
Next to obtaining garden seeds
that will grow, perhaps the most diff
cult task on the hands of the Maui
VOC citizen of domestic tastes is to
find a setting hen that will stay set.
The Nauvoo pedestrian will feel
profoundly thankful to the city coun-
cil members if they will recomm end
to our marshal and police Judge that
motormen suffering from the speed
mania be prosecuted.
Some girls can gaze at their faces
in the mirror and see nothing but
dimples, but other people see moth.
ing but pimpIes. And these same
girls will visit the rural districts to
learn how to whip COW to make her
give whipped cream.
Nauvoo may have a new postoffice
building. 1t is to be erected by ex-
Postmaster Beger on the lot adjoin-
ing the building now used as the
postoffice and his drug store We
are informed that Mr.. A. ]. Beger
has contract with the United
States government for several years
rental of the new building in which
to place the postoffice and is an al
most settled fact that the new build
ing will be erected without delay 1t
will be Of brick and about 28x60 feet
in size and two stories high. The
location is splendid one and an
ideal place for our postoffice. Now
the down town business men are
smiling again and the uptown fellows
are wearing that crouch because the
first report Of its removal was not
a reality.
Carl Boedecker and Miss Evelyn
Gross of Nauvoo will soon be united
in marriage, SO their many friends
have said. Carl has already secured
a residence in which to house his
bride. They have many friends in
this community who wish them all
kinds of happiness in advance Of the
happy event.
Nauvoo woman cut enough pie
plant several days ago for pie.
She doesn't believe that late spring
! effects rhubarb any.
