Tourist- "Was that
one of your prominent citizens? I noticed you were very
respectful and attentive to him."
Garage Man- "Yes, hes
one of our early settlers."
"Early settler? Why hes quite a young man
yet."
"True enough. I mean he pays his bills the first of
every month."
After winning an argument with his
wife, the wisest thing a man can do is apologize.

INTERESTING MELANGE.
A Chronological Record of Events as they have
Transpired in the City and County since our last Issue.
DELAYED
IN COLORADO.
Dan Buergy Having a
Hard Time to Secure His Child.
Dan Buergy who recently took his
lawyer, David Roper, and went to Colorado to bring home
his "kidnapped" child, is meeting with costly
and vexatious delay. From letters received here it is
evident that some sort of proceedings, presumably habeas
corpus, have been instituted in court there, and that a
date has been set for a hearing. Mr. Buergy and Roper are
now awaiting that date.
It also develops that Mrs. Buergy did
not make her much talked of disappearance all alone, but
that her brothers from Colorado came here to help her get
the boy away from Dan, and that when the proper time came
she went to them with the boy west of town, and that one
day in his search Buergy met the brothers-in-law there,
got into a fight over the boy and got a cane broken over
his head. Soon afterward Mrs. Buergy and her son left
with her brothers for Colorado.

Today's Feature Carthage
Relatively Calm.
Carthage remained relatively
calm through the initial hours following the
collapse of the World Trade Center in New York,
according to Carthage Police Chief Dennis Veach.
He says the Department did take
some preliminary precautions and held discussion
with various entities that may have been
concerned.
The R-9 School System issued a
news release Tuesday around 11 a.m. stating that
school would not be dismissed, but they were
"cooperating fully with parents who want to
take students home."
The systems Crisis
Response Team was mobilized to coordinate efforts
of counselors who will address questions and
concerns of "students and groups as
appropriate" today.
The most evident reaction to
the cirsis was the traffic backed up at all gas
stations in town beginning about 1p.m. Rumors of
$5 a gallon gas stirred people and resulted in up
to an hour or more wait for many to obtain fuel.
As of about 4 p.m. prices remained at the same
levels as earlier in the day.

Talkin'
Mornin',
It could have been worse,
for me personally anyway.
My daughter works in the
Wall Street area and typically arrives on the
subway at the base of the World Trade Center
at 8:45 in the morning. Yesterday morning she
went into work thirty minutes early. The
first plane reportedly hit at 8:47.
She says she felt the
building she works in, eight blocks from the
Center, shake when the planes hit.
She had time to call and
let us know she was o.k. before her building
was evacuated.
Here in Carthage, a
Memorial Service for those who died New York
will be held at Memorial Hall Thursday
evening at 6 p.m. The community is invited.
This is some fact, but
mostly,
Just Jake Talkin.

PRIME
TIME WITH KIDS
by Donna Erickson
Whether its stashing away
ticket stubs from ball games or unusual twigs and
leaves from the park, kids love collecting
things. Help your kids save their favorite summer
collectibles in a fun-to-make "summer memory
box."
First, paint the outside and
lid of a large shoebox using poster paints. Dab
contrasting colors over the base color and make
simple zig-zag designs, dots and swirls, if you
wish. Let dry.
Meanwhile, assemble souvenirs
that you will decoupage on the outside of the
box. Choose flat items made of paper, such as
postcards, tickets from sport events, plays,
museums or amusement parks, and photographs
(color photocopy the photos for this project, if
you prefer not to use your original photos).
Attach the souvenir items to
the outside of the box, including the top of the
lid, using Mod Podge (available at craft stores).
Brush the Mod Podge onto the back of the items
and press on the box. Use markers, paint and
stickers to decorate around the items, if you
wish.
Brush a layer of Mod Podge over
the outside of the box and lid. When dry, apply
another layer.
Fill the beautiful box with
other summer souvenirs such as pine cones, rocks,
shells, letters, camp brochures, newspaper
articles about the Olympic Games, etc.. Use the
box and its contents as conversation starters
when friends or relatives drop by. The memories
and stories of summer will last far into the cold
days of winter. Your child may use the box year
after year, replacing old memories with new!
