today's laugh

A man in a supermarket was pushing a cart which contained, among other things, a screaming baby. As the man proceeded along the aisles, he kept repeating softly, "Keep calm, George. Don’t get excited, George. Don’t yell, George."

A lady watched and then said, "You are certainly to be commended for your patience in trying to quiet little George."

"Lady," he declared, "I’M George!"

I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape, so I got my doctor’s permission to join a fitness club and start exercising. I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors. I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. By the time I got my leotards on, the class was over.

INTERESTING MELANGE.
A Chronological Record of Events as they have Transpired in the City and County since our last Issue.

To Organize a Berry Growers’ Union.

A movement is on foot to organize a berry growers’ union in Carthage, and the plan is meeting with much favor. A meeting of the Commercial Club will probably be called in the near future to consider the matter. The organization is to be a berry shipping and selling association, along the same lines as the Sarcoxie association.

Weekly Columns

Jack Sours grew up in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains where he gained an appreciation for fine art and old style craftsmanship. Sours began making pottery in 1972 in Crescent City, CA where he had the opportunity to study with several potters in that area and learned several methods of production. In the early 1980s he returned to the Midwest and began experimenting with the surface of his pottery, that technique evolving into Celtic themes, a tribute to his family heritage. In 1996 Jack built a wood fired kiln to enhance the ancient symbolism that is prevalent in his more sculptural work and to provide a unique quality in his domestic ware. This wood firing provides glazes that can be obtained in no other way, and never duplicated. He became very interested in stone carving after meeting and working with Bill Snow locally and continues to work with Snow to evolve sculptural forms in both clay and stone. He has exhibited in numerous local and regional shows and was a recent winner at the artCentral Membership Show with a ceramic sculpture. His studio is located in Neosho, MO where he lives and plays bluegrass music with his wife and fellow artist, Lee Ann. Jack and Lee Ann open a new exhibition here at Hyde House Gallery Friday night, May 28th, beginning at 6:00 with an artists’ reception in their honor. Joining them is their daughter Suzanne Israel with her unusual fiber hangings and textile art in the Member Gallery. The Sours family art will be displayed through June 13th during regular gallery hours, Friday- Sunday, 12:00 to 5:00. Come out and see the beautiful ceramics, stone sculpture, weaving, organic form quilts and textiles created by this family.
