INTERESTING MELANGE.
A Chronological Record of Events as they have
Transpired in the City and County since our last Issue.
A
Daylight Burglary.
A burglar visited J.T. Batts residence
at 1008 South Grant street yesterday afternoon, between
two and three oclock, and stole a watch and a chain
and a small amount of money from a purse.
Mrs. Batts stepped across the street to
a neighbors for a few minutes, leaving the house
alone and the back door open. She was gone but a little
while. When she returned she noticed immediately that the
door leading from the sewing room upstairs was open
although it had been shut when she left. Her suspicions
were at once aroused and she noticed a piece of silk
hanging out of the dresser drawer where she had recently
placed her watch.
So far as is known no one was seen to
approach or leave the house during Mrs. Batts
absence. It is though either that someone was hiding near
the home and slipped in or was secreted in the house.
Nothing but the watch, chain and money was missed.

Today's
Feature
Banners
for the Roundabout.
The Public Works Committee will
meet this afternoon at 5:00 in the Council
Chambers at City Hall to discuss an item of new
business.
A local Eagle Scouts Group
represented by Seth Putnam will propose an idea
to the Committee concerning the decoration of the
roundabout on the south side of Carthage. The
Eagle Scouts are in the process of accumulating
hours in attempts of obtaining badges and this
presentation is the result of their work.
The proposed decorations
involve hanging patriotic banners from the 6
street lights around the circumference of the
roundabout.
The Scout group has secured the
funding for the banners and will show the
committee what they look like along with
instructions for the installation and the
guidelines for maintenance. If the committee
approves the proposal it will be forwarded to
City Council for their approval. Though the
banners will be provided by the Scout group the
maintenance and upkeep must be discussed as they
will be provided by the City.

Just Jake
Talkin'
Mornin'
I suppose its just
old fashioned, but I dont mind
punchin a hole in a card to vote. All in
what youre used to I guess.
With the county lookin to
get on board with new fangled electronic
votin, Im wonderin what will
happen if the votin poll gets a jolt of
lightnin durin a votin session.
I read the other day that lightnin hits the
earth about thirty million times a year. What are
the odds?
I understand that a couple
states in the west already allow email
votin, so fore long ya wont
have to get out at all to cast your opinion.
I guess Im not
keepin up, but Ive never really known
whos pushin to get electronic and
exactly what the real benefit is gonna be. Maybe
if that question was put on the ballot wed
be better informed.
This is some fact, but mostly,
Just Jake Talkin.

Dizziness
Often Due to Ear Infection.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I was struck
with a case of dizziness that was unbelievable. I
had to stay in bed for two days because I was so
unsteady that I knew I would fall if I tried to
walk. I am now in my second week of this, and
things have improved but havent gone away.
The doctor says I have labyrinthitis. I need
information on it. When does it go away?
L.L.
ANSWER: The labyrinth is the
part of the inner ear where the balance organs
are located. Inflammation of the labyrinth -
labyrinthitis - makes people feel like they are
spinning in space. As a result, they are
frequently nauseated and often vomit. They might
suffer a slight hearing impairment, and their
ears might ring. Labyrinthitis is usually due to
a viral infection.
Medicines can lessen
labyrinthitis-induced dizziness, but they rarely
completely eliminate it. Antivert is a popularly
used medicine. The Transderm Scop skin patch, a
seasickness treatment, is another medicine that
controls dizziness.
Two days in bed for dizziness
is enough. Even if people feel unsteady, they
should walk with assistance. Walking helps the
brain right itself when it gets confusing
messages from the balance organs.
People are generally over a
bout of labyrinthitis in a few weeks to a month
or so. If matters do not clear up by then, the
doctor can refer patients for vestibular
rehabilitation. For most, however, nature takes
its course, usually without leaving any permanent
problems.
