cation will meet In business ses.
| sion Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock
in the Union church building.
| In speaking to several vineyard
owners who have large acreage,
we learn that the prospects for an
! immense crop never looked more
promising than right now In Nauvoo.
| If nothing interferes until ripening
time Nauvoo will harvest big crop
Of the luscious fruit and the largest
considering the acreage that was
marketed for good many years.
will take a large number of cars to
move the crop to market.
Although Jos. Ochsner has not yet
completed his auto service station
| building and on which work has
again been stopped, he intends add
ing an addition Of thirty feet on the
north end which will make the
structure $50 feet in length. And
Nauvoo people are wondering when
he will complete the building.
| Henry Leinhart who was with one
of the aviation corps in the army
service, was not discharged but came
| to his Nauvoo home on furlough.
He left last Saturday for Camp Grant
to secure his honorable discharge
| from the army.
| 1t was noised about Nauvoo the
! first part of the week that Donald
Morrill, Nauvoo lad not yet twenty
one years of age, and Mrs. Ethel
! Stevenson, residing near Adrian,
thirteen miles east of this city, had
decamped in the woman's husbands
MI ,,t1 fD ,a,-fu nh
husband has been attempting to
locate them with the intention Of re-
covering his car. The couple have
been accusing each other of conduct
unbecoming a married pair for some
time and the climax came when the
above couple left without leaving
their future address. The woman
has child which was taken with
her, so it is said.
The Nauvoo Schneider heirs have
! sold eight acres of land adjoining
John Eds property in the south part
Of the city for which they received
! $780,
Tony Koch, a Nauvoo painter, had
the misfortune to sprain one OF his
ankles few days ago. 1t is the same
one he had broken about two years
ago by falling with scaffold on which
he was standing while engaged at
work.
| There is big yield Of both black
and red raspberries in Nauvoo now
| and enough people to pluck the fruit
| is hard to find. The cherries are about
all harvested, the birds helping to
pluck the fruit Raspberries are sell
| ing at from 20 to Csc the quart. New
| potatoes. home grown are selling at
$3.50 per bushel in Nauvoo while in
ST. Louis they can be bought for 81
! to SITS and in Chicago for 50 per 100
pounds. But then us Nauvoo people
are not living in Chicago or st Louis.
Nauvoo is a live wire town and that
is the reason you have to pay fancy
| prices for home grown goods.
| On last Saturday a number of Maui
VOC and country fellows, enjoyed a
picnic in a timber tract southeast or
the city and they had roast lamb and
other good eats, besides the liquids OBJ
tanned in the liberal city of Nauvoo.
The boys were bent on having one
more good time before this free town
of Nauvoo Joined the dry forces.
A federal official was doing Nauvoo
the other day and collected several
$40 for taxes from those Nauvoo auto
owners who were in the habit OF
carrying passengers.
! A social dance was given in the Maui
VOC opera house last Tuesday evening
and about forty-five couple attended
the festivities Dan Agnes splendid
! orchestra furnished the music for the
occasion
The two-cent postage VIII come into
| effect next Tuesday and Nauvoo peo-
pie who have supply of threecent
ones on hand can get them exchanged
at the Nauvoo postoffice, but no cash
will be paid for them.
! Only two more days remain IN
which to buy liquor in Nauvoo. This
city has been lively and filled with
autos and people from neighboring
| towns who came here to buy wet
goods in large quantities during the
week. Some Of them have been ar
rested on the Santa Fe bridge at FIT
Madison for carrying intoxicating
! liquors into dry territory by three
| Iowa state officials, and fined One
: prominent Burlington citizen was
! fined 500 for having liquor In his
possession which he paid and went on
his way with no murmer. 1t was also
reported that state officers were sta
! toned on the KeolIuk brige. The ac-
7 tons of these officers have curtailed
| the sale Of John Barleycorn consider
| able in Nauvoo since their reported
presence. Launches are being used
considerably by parties wishing to
come to Nauvoo so as to avoid being
mo1ested by Iowa state sleuths. Well,
there are only two remaining shop
ping days in the liquor line In this
grand old Mormon town and We look
for some stirring times in those last
hours where one can buy liquor.
It Is believed that the taxable prop
/ erty will be increased considerable in
Nauvoo next spring on account of the
absence Of the saloon license money.
! Next Monday afternoon the trial OF
/ George Stewart of FIT Madison, Will
take place in Nauvoo's police court.
Stewart is charged with attempted
murder on the person Of Jean Keran,
also Of FIT Madison. The fight oc-
Cured in Nauvoo about two weeks
/ ago in the rear of one of our saloons,
where Keran received terrible
stomping after he had been knocked
