A Nauvoo milliner who attended

house in Quincy last week, wrote to
friend here that the styles were

The horrors limited by her concern
ing these feminine styles for Easter

have endured.
Some people do not place much
confidence in the old tradition OF the
grounding and the six more weeks
Of winter weather yet to come. Then

Many Nauvoo people who own real

ness district, says he paid 20 more
taxes on his possession than he did
in any other year.
Some Nauyoo people are bent upon

bar, of practically all the news
papers. Let's simplify legal proce-
dure.

Mr. Floyd Heberer, Nauvoo's garage
man. There are millions of people,
a few of them living in Nauvoo, who
cannot afford the first cost Of the
cheapest automobile, or its upkeep
for whom it holds wonderful possi-

pense far less than the same recre-
alton can be obtained in any other
way, are the best guarantees of the
stability of the market and the steady
increase of the demand.
