| In an issue OF The Keokuk Daily
i Gate City last week was an article
which read something like this: The
view from the road leading up to
/ Bluff park from the lake shore shows
a beautiful scene, with the large for
Il est trees in the middle ground, and
through an opening in the tree tops
the Illinois bluff and the city of
Nauvoo can be seen. the most beau
/. tiful site for a city in America"
That's what everyone who sees or
visits this city says of Nauvoo, and
why she has not grown. into metro
politan size before this is a mystery.
What Nauvoo needs to make her
grow is an interurban line from Keo-
kuk or Fort Madison; hard roads
leading from it in several directions,
a large city park. grain elevator. live
stock yards. ETC. The business men
must get move on themselves after
July /, when theo country goes dry,
to retain the trade they now enjoy,
or retire on the money they have
made. This beautiful town site will
! not bring trade to Nauvoo. 1t is in
ducements to the farmers that at
tract trade to any city, and when the
saloons go out of this old Mormon
4 town people will go to their nearest
point to trade. Nauvoo's fate lies in
the hands of her business men, who
will have to hustle to retain the fine
trade she now enjoys. Nauvoo will
be the best business town of its size,
and larger in the state Of Illinois or
Iowa from now until July 1.
There have been very few. court
cases in our police court for some
time, This speaks well for a town
with six saloons. Can other towns
saw as much, where they have blind
pigs and bootlesgers operating in
their midsta' And every town has
the latter.
