council met again Monday evening to
transact other business.
The steamer Keokuk arrived in
Nauvoo from Quincy and keokuk with
number of eXcurslonists on board
last Sunday. The boat remained at
the Nauvoo wharf about an hour and
some of the visitors traml ed the
mile and half up to our business
section, probably thinking that they
could gain entrance to our barrel
houses OF wine vaults, but were dis
appointed. The boat arrived about
4:30 in the afternoon.
If Nauvoo people were against
child labor the same as they are IN
larger cities, we would be up against
1t in the matter of picking our ber-
ries and other kinds of light work.
Even the big swimming pool right at
our door has no inducement during
these hot days for the kids to Keep
them from earning pin money.
A pessimist is Nauvoo vicinity
farmer who is beginning to grumble
now because he thinks the elevators
won't hold the oats, wheat rye and
corn crop raised around here this
season. Our farmers are haying now
and the clover crop was never known
, to be better Rye will be ready for
the sickle in few days and the oats
crop will follow. In the meantime
the farmer is busy man blowing
corn.
The longest days Of the year are ar
irving this week and some Nauvoo-
ties claim that the days are all long
enough on account of the hour hands
on the clock being showed an hour
ahead of sun time.
Fruit or cereal crops In this re-
gion have not been affected by the
extreme hot weather.
The Nauvoo ferry boat is stiN out
of commission but may begin making
regular trips between Nauvoo and
Montrose soon. The steamer keoKuk
is certainly doing a fine freight bust
ness at Nauvoos port. She carries
an immense amount of case and bar
rel goods for our wet goods houses
and for our merchants increased
trade.
In a number of cities persons were
bitten by dogs during this season. II
dog is found unmuzzled running
about the streets of Nauvoo the mar
shall ought to capture 1t or lock up It's
owner and warn him it will be shot
before some one is bitten. What Is
that real old saying about the best
friend of man?
The people of Nauvoo scan tSe keo-
kuk Daily Gate City every day TOT
war news and look over the casualty
list to see if any Nauvoo boys are
among the killed or badly wounded.
