Did you ever live on a farm?
And listen to the cow bells?
Don’t be silly. Cows
haven’t bells, they have horns.

INTERESTING MELANGE.
A Chronological Record of Events as they have
Transpired in the City and County since our last Issue.
FIVE DAYS FOR THE
WORK.
At the last meeting of the City
Council, Councilman Black suggested that many residents
depend on hiring weeds cut and that if the whole city
were asked to cut the weeds in one day there would be
more work laid out than could be done, as each
weed-cutter could be in only one place at a time. Black
suggested that the proclamation cover one ward at a time,
and that the days for the different wards be successive
days, thus covering the whole city in five days. This was
thought a good suggestion and was adopted.
The city physician also reported a
seepy gutter on the east side of McGregor Street between
Oak and Olive Street. It takes frequent cleanings to keep
this gutter in a sanitary condition and seems to be
causing sickness in the neighborhood. There is believed
to be a spring there which keeps up a sluggish flow of
water into this gutter all the time. Dr. Whitney
recommended that a sawed stone gutter be installed.

Just Jake
Talkin' There’s prob’ly nothin’
more irritatin’ than havin’ someone ya
don’t recognize wave real big at ya from
across the street.
It’s not the fact
they’re being’ friendly that is the
problem. The irritatin’ part is
spendin’ the rest of the day tryin’ to
figure out who they are. Even days latter ya find
yourself spendin’ a few seconds tryin’
to remember. I suppose that is one a the problems
with livin’ in a small town. You can
irritate folks without even tryin’.
It’s like the old trick
we’d play as kids. Standin’ on a busy
street corner and pointin’ up to the sky.
"Fore long ever’ one is trying to see
what you’re pointin’ at.
If ya want to really befuddle
someone ya don’t know, walk up and tell
‘em how good it is to see ‘em again.
This is some fact, but mostly,
Just Jake Talkin’.

Here's A Tip
"If
you use a hair dryer to dry your hair, put a
little of your favorite perfume on the back of
it, near the air intake, and your hair will take
on the scent of the perfume." -- S.H. in
Ohio
Another use for Alka-Seltzer:
Got insect bites? D.K. from South Carolina swears
by dissolving two tables in a small glass of
water and dabbing the solution on minor insect
bites.
"To preserve the life of
your cupcake pans, make sure to put water into
any unused cups. I make cupcakes/muffins, and I
like them larger than the recipe calls for. As a
result, I usually only fill two-thirds of the
cups. My pans have lasted a long time because I
take good care of them." -- Amy, via e-mail
"Take 1 tablespoon of
vinegar in a small glass of water after a meal
for no heartburn and no more expensive heartburn
medicine." -- F.F. in Colorado
Here’s a tip from C.S.R.
in Florida: Washing produce takes a lot of water,
which you can reuse. Catch it in a dishpan, and
use it to water your outdoor plants!
"This is an awesome way to
clean silver. Take an aluminum-foil pan -- the
disposable kind -- and line it with a piece of
aluminum foil. Sprinkle in some salt (I use sea
salt, but any kind will do), then add a dash of
dish soap and fill the container with boiling
water. Put your silver, including jewelry, into
the mix and, voila, it cleans instantly. Of
course, you’ll have to turn the larger
pieces, so be careful not to burn yourself."
-- L.N. in B.C., Canada
