has been left behind by the advancing
British.

resided in the country east Of NauvoO
fbeaueathed the sum of one hundred
dollars to the Lutheran church. This
amount has been set aside TO be added
TO the pipe organ fund.
John Johnson, NauvoO's knight of
the big stick, pop gun and bracelets,
sports a new uniform, a gift OF some
of his Nauvoo friends. John is fear
less officer and will always get a
wrong-doer if he has to wade through
the lake here or a fire larger than the
one Warsaw had and that Is the rea-
son his friends here presented him
with a golden star and new clothes.
Besides they wanted our officer to pre-
sent a metropolitan appearance on ac-
count of Nauvoo being the busiest
town in Hancock county. Too bad
Officer John is over draft age, for If
he had been sent cover there" he

less they want to register, they had
better swerve around our city blocks
and run for home.
From now on until some time in
September, the weather bureau will
be watched in Nauvoo with anything
but complacency.
Farmers in Nauvoos vicinity now
want plenty of sunshine for a few
weeks so as TO be able to finish their
harvesting. The clover hay harvest is
almost finished and small grain is
right on it's heels and will need atten-
ton. Crops of all kinds were never
known TO be better in the history of
the oldest inhabitant than they are
around here this season so far.

Of ministers visited Nauvoo to attend
the meeting. The young ladies of the
Lutheran league held a reception in
honor of the visitors and served ice
cream and cake last Tuesday evening.
July would be a better day than
any other for the kaiser to turn over
Germany, hoist white flag and take
leave of absence. This should get
him out of Berlin a few jumps ahead
of Huerta in Mexico. If he don't
throw up the sponge soon, some of the
Nauvoo boys over there" will get his
scalp before he leaves his country.
Some of the people who raised a
pea crop for the canning factory have
used the same soil and space to plant
sweet corn for the institution. 1t is
showing a nice stand and with favor
able weather will yield a good crop.
How many countries can beat Nauvoo
for raising two crops on the same
ground in one season.
When our boys return from France
we will find that all were brave men
while over there, but it is hoped that
they will return with not more than
one French wife to their credit.

that. We were sent up within a few
miles of the lines about March, LIST. and
we've been in that vicinity ever

sounded like the artillery might be

escaped any danger from even that

anti-aircraft make a very good dis
play when they get the shrapnel to
