Taxes snow and war doings furnish
abundant topics for conversation now
adays, for all Nauvoo people.
One of Nauvoo's citizens adver-
tises GOO bushels Of oats for sale. 1t
seems queer that he cannot find mar
ket for them. Perhaps his oats are
better than those raised by others and
demands a better price for them or
the elevator markets are too far dis
tant to haul the product. A grain ele-
vator is something that Nauvoo needs
lady even though we can only ship
by river in summer time. Nauvoo
business men ought to organize grain
association.
John Kendall and Mre. Robert
Datin, who have been among the ser
ious sick recently. are both reported
to be on the mend.
No one in Nauvoo now begrudges
our rural mail carriers their jobs these
wintry days.
While there is no shortage in any
thing in Nauvoc, not even snow, it
seems hard for some folks to make
both ends meet on account of the high
prices. Coal and potatoes in Nauvoo
are two items that bring higher prices
than the market quotations in the
large cities.
A card party and dance is scheduled
to take place in the Nauvoo Knights of
Columbus hall Thursday evening OF

Alfred Hertel has gone to Louisville
Ky. to join his brother, who has Sc
cured a position for him in the south,
ern city.
Mr.. and Mrs. John G. Schneider OF
Nauvoo have gone to McAllen, Texas,
for visit of about two months with
their daughter, Mrs. Oscar Bury and
family.
Trench digging will be an accomp-
lishment all men in Nauvoo will be
come proficient in if we get a few
more snow storms like we. had the
fore part of this month.
The Nauvoo Presbyterian church
choir furnished some special music
in the religious temple at the regular
service last Sunday.
Owing to the recent severe storm,
Mr. HOLDEN, the corn expert failed to
arrive in Nauvoo to preside over the
corn school which was to have taken
place several Saturdays ago and it had
to be declared off. The gentleman will
be here without fail next Saturday,
January 26, and the corn school will
take place In the Nauvoo opera house.
Farmers in Nauvoo and vicinity and
all others interested should bear this
date in mind and arrange to attend
this meeting. The admission will be
free to all parts of the house. The
Nauvoo State bank officials are work
inc hard to make this annual school
an immense success, so lend your pres
ence by attending.
Alex Getz of Keokuk, who has been
tending bar in the Leisy saloon in Maui
VOC, has released his services there
and gone to his home. Alex is fine
young man and made many friends
while resident Of the old Mormon
town who are, sorry to hear of his leav-
ing this city. Ollie Koechli. Nauvoo
young man, who was also engaged at
this LIQUID stand has also been releas-
ed, the curtailing of help being caused
by the war tax on liquors and business
falling off.
Nauvoo bank officials. notary pub
lies and lawyers are surely entitled

without charge and 1t took lot of
time and study in many cases to fill in
the answers correctly.
On Thursday afternoon of last week
Mrs. John Nj. Schmidt entertained six
teen Of her lady friends at a card
party. Delicious refreshments were
served. All present had a most en-
ioyable time and voted the hostess
a capital entertainer.
Many in Nauvoo think the fellow
who wrote "the beautiful poem in

There is some little talk OF giving
q married folks dance in the Nauvoo
opera house just before the lenten
season arrives. But this is just talk
you know.

business places on Mondays to assist
