INTERESTING MELANGE.
A Chronological Record of Events as they have
Transpired in the City and County since our last Issue.
She Repented Her
Secretiveness.
A certain young lady who
has recently come into possession of a diamond ring had
cause to repent of her selfishness in too faithfully
guarding her secret. She chose to announce matters at a
certain gathering of intimate girl friends, but so
thoroughly well guarded had been her secret that for many
embarrassing moments nobody would believe that the ring
was her own.
Moral - If you have a good
secret push it along.
Steve Marsee Arrested.

Just Jake
Talkin'
Mornin',
I suppose for those of us raised in this part of
the country, the idea of bein’ careful of
unnecessary confrontations was pretty well a part
of life. "Pick your battles." The
sayin’ strikes me in that it goes way beyond
just conservin’ energy and a few
metaphorical scars. For one it makes the
prob’ly correct assumption that there will
be plenty a battles to choose from. The idea also assumes that there will
prob’ly be other folks to fight at least a
few of ‘em that could be considered worthy.
I’d reckon there will
always be wrongs to right and judgements to be
reversed. Sometimes there just isn’t a
choice, but most times there is a consideration
of time and place that can make a major
difference on the outcome of any disagreement.
This is some fact, but mostly,
Just Jake Talkin’.

Here's
A Tip
By JoAnn Derson• According to researchers,
you’ll burn more calories on the treadmill
than on other cardio machines. Next in line, in
order, are stair-climbing machines, elliptical
trainers and stationary exercise bikes.
• "Reinforce reading
by requiring a set amount of reading time before
any other electronic media are used. Be sure to
discuss what was read in order to bolster
comprehension and speaking skills." -- A
teacher, via e-mail
• "File it under gift
ideas! To keep family members happy when
occasions for gift-giving come along, whenever we
see a picture or hear of a product that we would
like to have, we clip the photo, note any
additional information and stick it in the gift
idea file we have set up for each family member.
When birthdays, holidays and special occasions
roll around, it’s easy to remember what
types of things that person might want to
have." -- L.H. in Florida
• "Be careful about
signing up for automatic payment plans that
deduct a regular amount from your checking
account or credit card. Gym memberships that go
unused, for example, could cost you hundreds of
dollars a year before you get around to
canceling. Review all automatic bills monthly to
determine if it’s worth it." -- K.W. in
New Mexico
• A nuisance paper cut can
be sealed up with regular household glue. Just
dab a bit on the cleaned and dried paper cut and
let it dry.
