Our baby just cut two teeth. I told my wife she should be ashamed of herself letting the baby play with a knife.

What happened to that stork of yours?

Innes Band.

If some one discovered that soul stirring music could be blown out of a tin horn the world would marvel and with reason.

Yet, that would not be much more remarkable than what Innes, now known as the greatest of band masters, did with the trombone. When he took up the trombone it was known solely as an instrument of percussion, and he astonished the world by demonstrating that it was also a solo instrument, capable of finely expressing all kinds of passion.

His festivals at Atlantic City during the past summer have been the gathering place for all that most brilliant, socially in that delightful watering place. Few of the 250,000 visitors to the great American summer city would be willing to admit that they had gone there and back without going to hear Innes.

During his engagement here on next Wednesday afternoon, Innes will introduce some of his most notable Atlantic City successes, chief among which is his method of giving "Scenes from Grand Opera," and for which purpose he brings with him six well known operatic artists headed by Alberti, the famous Baritone.

	Today's Feature Small Business OutReach Program. The Carthage Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring a discussion this morning at 7:30 with Jim Thompson of the Missouri Secretary of State’s Office in the McCune Brooks Hospital Cafeteria. Thompson will be discussing the Small Business OutReach Project. The Small Business Outreach Project is a three-fold approach to providing a voice for small business inside Missouri government. First, the Project will act as an ombudsman for small business, answering questions and providing help negotiating state government’s agencies. The second element of the Project is that of an emissary to small business with the objective of raising business peoples’ awareness of what services Missouri government offers. Finally, the OutReach Project is charged with promoting the small business cause to Missouri government from within Missouri government. The Project will ask small business people for guidance concerning its role as an advocate. Senior Exhibit at Spiva Art Gallery Features Kyle Stearnes.

	Just Jake Talkin' Mornin', I attended what they call a conclave meetin’ last Tuesday. The group that gets together ‘bout once a month consists of various elected officials and staff from Jasper, Newton, and Barton Counties. They typically don’t have any big agenda, just get together to maybe listen to a talk about somethin’ in common. Mostly it’s a chance for them to become better acquainted and do a little communicatin’ amongst themselves. It gives the various communities and counties represented a chance to pool their collective knowledge concernin’ problems and achievements each have run into. The meet on Tuesday was at the Kendrick House. Several of the folks had never been. More communicatin’ has ta be a good thing. This is some fact, but mostly, Just Jake Talkin’.
