Jacob Walter and VIM. Kimball at
tended the state fair in Springfield
this week.
Several leading grape growers are
quoted as saying that on account o;
some disease to the grape vines dur
ing last winter or early spring. that
Nauyoo would produce only half or
less crop of grapes this year. Even
half crop means a great deal 10
Nauvoo when 1t is remembered that
some of our people depend partly on
, the grape crop for livelihood and IL
distributes considerable money among
our laboring class of people. The
crop, however, was good one and
much better than the prognosticators
predicted. Therefore, half crop OF
grapes in Nauvoo means some grapes
and one not to be sneezed at.
