INTERESTING MELANGE.
A Chronological Record of Events as they have
Transpired in the City and County since our last Issue.
BABY NAMED FOR CARRIE
NATION.
Born Southwest of
Carthage Today and Was a "Smasher."
Carrie Nation had been honored in
Jasper county. A baby born this morning at the home of
Thos. Parrish, near the Center creek stone quarry, was
promptly named "Carrie Nation Parrish," by a
number of W.C.T.U ladies present. The mother readily
agreed to the name. "The little stranger weighed
nine pounds," said Dr. Gould, who was present,
"and though she didnt have her hatchet she was
certainly a smasher."
Saw the Mob.
Dr. W. W. Flora, while in Kansas City
Saturday, was near at hand on Ninth street when Bud
Taylor shot his sweetheart, Miss Nollard, and saw the
crowd that attempted to lynch the murderer.

Talkin'
Mornin',
Ive never
actually seen a woodshed. I say that
with qualification cause I
guess I wouldnt know one if I
saw it.
I grew up
hearin thats where kids
were taken when they were bad and
needed a little discipline.
In this day and
age, I dont want ta get into a
discussion bout whether
gittin a lickin is a
proper activity, Im just
curious as to the origination of
"take ya out to the
woodshed."
I suppose that
rather than a buildin ta store
firewood, it was the storage of
lumber. That would be a handy spot
for a paddle to be procured. This
makes a lot more sense now, I have
been troubled with the thought of the
usin of tree limbs as
implements of corporal punishment.
This is some fact,
but mostly,
Just Jake
Talkin.

Weekly Column
The
Super Handyman
by Al Carrell & Kelly
Carrell
Dear Al:
Somebody ought to write a book
about the many uses for old milk cartons and
bleach bottles. For instance, you can make a
really nice tool holder for the garden. You cut
off the bottom of the jug, turn the top upside
down and attach it to a fence post, porch frame
or tree. You can stick your tool handle, shovel,
rake or hoe down into the jug top, and it stays
put when you leave.
Dear Al & Kelly:
One of our neighbors almost
lost his child to an accidental poisoning. Since
then, we dont take any chances. All our
poisonous chemicals and cleaners have a bright
pink lid or top. We keep a can of hot-pink spray
paint right outside the kitchen door in the
garage and give each lid a shot of paint before
storing it. Our kids know not to touch anything
that has a bright pink lid. Better to be safe
than sorry.
Dear Al & Kelly:
Clamps are too big to use on
small wooden craft projects when you are trying
to glue them. I have a super way to secure them
without crushing them. I use clothespins. The
plain, inexpensive wooden ones work great. Since
I use them for other odd jobs around the house,
Ive always got a few handy.
