In football you
wear a helmet; in baseball you wear a cap.
Football is concerned with downs; baseball is
concerned with ups. In football you receive a
penalty; in baseball you make an error. In
football the specialist comes in to kick; in
baseball the specialist comes in to relieve
somebody. - George Carlin

INTERESTING MELANGE.
A Chronological Record of Events as they have
Transpired in the City and County since our last Issue.
Several Howard Grays.
The Genial Judge Gives
His Wife a Shock - Hasn’t Bought Farming Land.
The item in the paper a
few days ago stating that Judge Howard Gray had purchased
farm land in Jackson township was an error. It was the
Carterville Howard Gray who made the purchase.
In connection with the
name "Howard Gray," the judge tells some
amusing instances, as there are a number of Howard Grays
in Jasper county and several of them get mail at
Carthage.
One day not long ago the
judge got a letter addressed to Howard Gray. It was a
very loving epistle filled with "darling,"
"sweethearts" and other tender expressions.
The judge was going home
to dinner when he opened it and decided to have a little
amusement with his wife before returning from dinner to
put the letter back in the postoffice.
By "merest
accident" he dropped the letter in the room where
his wife was as he passed through. Of course she picked
it up and swallowed the bait, hook and all. A scene was
imminent and was only averted by a reference at the close
of the letter to "our happy time last Sunday
afternoon." Mrs. Gray had been with the judge on the
Sunday afternoon referred to and was willing after that
sentence to entertain a motion to dismiss the case on
grounds of insufficient evidence.

Talkin'
Mornin
Rainy Halloween. If ya didn’t make it to the
Square on Monday night to watch the kids and
parents parade in their costumes ya missed the
real treat. I suppose
there are near as many adults who enjoy the
dressin’ up at their kids. For some reason
seein’ adults get into the fun takes on a
whole different outlook.
The Chamber organizes the event
on the Square ever’ Halloween in a dual
purpose of givin’ the kids a safe place to
be goblins and attractin’ folks to take a
look at the businesses operatin’ in the
downtown area.
With Thanksgivin’ close at
hand, the extra dose of sugar should go a long
way toward gettin’ ready for the holidays
ahead.
This is some fact, but mostly,

To
Your Good Health
by Paul G. Donohue, M.D.Vertigo Attacks
Are Dizzying Problem
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
I have benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
While doing some repair work, I jerked my head to
the right and experienced severe dizziness that
lasted two minutes. The condition still exists.
When I lift my head upward, dizziness occurs. Do
you know any treatments for benign positional
vertigo? — M.L.
ANSWER: Almost all
forms of vertigo — the sensation of spinning
out of control — originate in the inner ear,
where the body’s balance organs are located.
Benign paroxysmal
positional vertigo is common. Loose debris has
settled to the bottom of the balance organs and
erroneously signals the brain to think that the
body or its environment is whirling around. The
attacks occur when there is a change in head
position. Many complain that rolling over in bed
triggers an episode. Medicines such as Antivert
or Phenergan might help, but they are not as
effective as they are for other forms of vertigo.
A series of head
movements performed by the doctor in the office
can often move the inner-ear debris from the
locations where it’s causing trouble. One of
those techniques is called the Epley maneuvers.
If one session
doesn’t end the attacks, the maneuvers can
be repeated. Furthermore, there are other
movement techniques that can bring success if the
Epley maneuvers fail. An ear, nose and throat
doctor is familiar with all of them.
