INTERESTING MELANGE.
A Chronological Record of Events as they have
Transpired in the City and County since our last Issue.
A PRINT SHOP ROMANCE.
Short-Graves Wedding
Announced for Tomorrow Afternoon.
It is reported on authority that Walter
Graves and Miss Pearl Short, both employed at the Daily
Democrat office, are to be married tomorrow. It was the
intention to secure the license tonight after the Press
was out in order that their own paper should have the
"scoop." A Press reporter called at the
Democrat office and found the printers there all on the
jolly, and never went up against a harder proposition to
get news.
For the last six months the blushing
young couple have been the object of continual friendly
roasting, and the appearance of the reporter today was
only the signal for a fresh out burst. In fact the groom
to be scarcely knew where he was at, and it would not be
hard to believe that the young couple were literally
being bluffed into a wedding. Mr. Graves finally admitted
to the reporter that he would be married to Miss Short
tomorrow at 4:30 p.m., at the residence of Dr. H. O.
Scott.
The friendship began in the Democrat
office, but did not take a serious turn until a
type-setting machine was installed on trial several weeks
ago, and Mr. Graves and Miss Short were thrown together
as operators on the machine, two persons being required.
Both are popular young folks, with many
friends. Miss Short is quite good looking. Mr. Graves
came here from his home at Neosho.

Another
Awesome Exhibit!
by Robin Putnam, artCentral
Last Friday evening was (
again) an awesome and FUN opening !! We had such
a great turn out !! Its times like that
that makes us feel like everything we are doing
really is worth while !!
Its always great to have
new faces and we are thrilled that so many were
from Carthage. Of course we are always VERY happy
to see our old friends and regular supporters,
too !!
Its hard to believe we
can fit soooo many people in here in one evening
!! I guess none of us minds if its body to
body for a while !!
As far as this new exhibit
goes.......there are about 35 photos, some black
& white and some in sepia tones ( a reddish
brown) featuring people and works of art !!
There are several that would
appeal to horse lovers, a few from a farm in
Joplin and Dr. Speck is a gorgeous Leopard
Appaloosa owned by Brent Erwin. Brent is also
featured in some of the photos playing up his
Native American heritage. There is a Masai
princess, a witch doctor and maidens, some
fascinating shots of ancient sculptures in Italy
and a VERY well built fellow semi-dressed in
ancient tribal apparel. All in all it is a
wonderful presentation of the places and people
Bill has photographed over the last year. Check
it out !!
This exhibit will remain in the
gallery until February 17. The next show is
scheduled for March 2 and will feature the newest
works by Debbie Reed, watercolor and collage and
Sam Lewis, ceramics.
We would like to say welcome to
our newest Board member, JoAnn Evans. We soooo
appreciate her volun-teering her time and
energies to help us out !! Also, FYI, we are now
meeting at noon on Wednesdays. So if anyone is
interested in joining us just plan on the third
Wednesday of each month. Members and non- members
are always welcome at these meetings.
Again, a big THANKS to JoAnn !!
More.........next week.

Just Jake
Talkin'
Mornin',
A couple a firewood
suppliers I checked with are
sittin without inventory. One
guy told me he was haulin wood
to a friends house when he was
approached at a stop light.
"Wanna sell
that wood?"
"Im
takin it to a friend."
"Id sure
buy it if ya want to sell."
The light changed.
From what Im
seein a decent rick of wood is
costin around thirty to
thirty-five bucks, dependin on
how much you want to handle it. The
Citys supply at twenty-five
went pretty fast after the cold snap
a few weeks ago. Therell be
more available later Im sure.
With a little break
in the weather, the supply should be
replenished, hopefully fore
spring.
This is some fact,
but mostly,
Just Jake
Talkin.

What is it about garlic? Garlic
has been the subject of many studies over the
past centuries either through observation
techniques or though scientific procedures.
In the original Back to Eden
by Jethro Kloss, he states that garlic probably
originated in central Asia, is cultivated in many
countries and grows wild in Italy and southern
Europe.
It was given to the slaves
building the pyramids to increase their stamina
and strength and to protect them from disease. It
was used as a preventative against cholera,
typhoid fever, and amebic dysentery.
"Hippocrates, the father
of modern medicine, used garlic as a laxative, a
diuretic, for tumors of the uterus, leprosy,
epilepsy, chest pains, toothaches, and for wounds
incurred during battle. Aristotle also mentions
the value of garlic and Aristophanes used garlic
as a treatment for impotence."
During both World Wars it was
used as an antibacterial and strong disinfectant.
A dilution with water was used to kill the germs
which caused cholera and typhoid fever. In 1989
it was described as a "Designer Food,"
the odor had been removed and it had become a
much more acceptable form of treatment for all
forms of ailments form high blood pressure, high
cholesterol and heart disease to the prevention
of colds and flu. It has been used in the
elimination of pinworms in children, as well as
adults.
Herbert Peirson, Ph.D.,
formerly of the National Caner Institute and now
with the Preventive Nutrition Consultants stated,
"Several different studies have shown a link
between garlic and lower incidences of stomach
cancer. Another study shows lower rates of
colon/rectal cancer." He added that garlic
seems to enhance the immune system.
