The officials of the local chapter of
| the Red Cross in Nauvoo complains
of the scarcity of lady helpers in the
sewing department and at every
meeting only about a half dozen ap-
pear. Of course these are busy times
| in Nauvoo, harvesting the grape crop,
canning tomatoes in our factory, put
ting up jellies, jams and canned
goods in their homes for the winters
use, which explains in a measure why
not many of them fail to appear in
the Red Cross work rooms which does
not show any disloyalty on their part.
AS soon as this rush of work is over
they will flock to the work room and
make the needles fly for our soldier
boys over there.
1t is reported that no less than four
homes have been entered in Nauvoo
recently and about thirty dollars
secured by the thief or thieves. We
could not learn whose homes they
were or that suspicion has been
placed on any particular individual.

Mayor c. R. Montgomery is busy
now supplying Nauvoo people with
coal for the winters use. He barges
the "black diamonds" over the pond /

1t is surprising to know what a !
large amount of business the c.. B. |
& @. railroad transacts for Nauvoo !
A visit to the Montrose |
depot would convince anyone that if |
it would not be for the business done |
for Nauvoo people the Montrose |
station would be small flag station
with no stops for through trains. Mr..
E. D. Crooks, the genial, accommo-
dating and pleasant agent at Mont
rose looks well after the business for
