Mrs. Brown-"She told me that you
told her the secret I told you not to tell her."
Mrs. Green-" The mean thing! I
told her not to tell you I told her."
Mrs. Brown-"Well, don't tell her
that I told you she told me."
Tommy had been playing with his sister
in the garden, and their screams had attracted mother.
"What are you doing children?" she asked.
"We're playing Indians, mummy, and
I'm scalping Betty," replied Tommy.
"You're doing what?"
"Oh, I'm not really scalping her
properly-just taking her hair off with the shears!"
With a grinding of brakes the officer
pulled up his motor car and shouted to a little boy
playing in the field:"I say, sonny, have you seen an
airplane come down anywhere near here?"
"No, sir!" replied the boy,
trying to hide his sling shot. "I've only been
shooting at that bottle on the fence."

INTERESTING MELANGE.
A Chronological Record of Events as they have
Transpired in the City and County since our last Issue.
Their Horse Died.
The camping party which left here,
yesterday morning for McDonald county, met with bad luck
before noon. One of the teams had been hired at Frank
Havens' livery barn, and yesterday evening a telephone
message came from John Gray from Neosho, saying that one
of the horses had died sixteen miles out of Carthage.
Arthur Havens started at once with another horse to catch
the party where the misfortune overtook them. The death
of the horse is supposed to have resulted from the
excessive heat yesterday morning in spite of the rain.
Carthage Boy at Santiago
Frank Shaffer, an old Carthage boy, was
at the siege of Santiago de Cuba. He attended the college
in Carthage, though his folks now reside near Prosperity.
From Carthage he went to Springfield, Ohio, to attend
college, and at the breaking out of the war he joined the
8th Ohio Volunteers and was soon sent to Cuba

Just Jake
Talkin'
Mornin',
Once again the community is
essentially unaffected in any significant way
by the passin' of Marian Days. This doesn't
mean there were not benefits derived from the
event or that there was not a large amount of
effort expended by the various departments of
the City.
What I mean is as an
individual citizen, the only inconvenience I
was exposed to was a little slow down of
traffic on Grand. Not bad considerin' the
fact that the town grew to about five times
its normal size for a few days.
Once again it was confirmed
that cooperation between the organizers of
the event and the various City departments
and law enforcement agencies can result in a
successful and noncontroversial conclusion.
A special hats off to
Captain Davis acting in his role as interim
Police Chief, and the entire staff at
Carthage P.D.
This is some fact, but
mostly,
Just Jake Talkin'.

Weekly Column
Intro to the Internet
There are a lot of great
reasons to use the Internet. Here’s a couple
of reasons why most people spend time on-line.
* Electronic Mail- Ask anyone
who uses it and they’ll tell you life
wouldn’t be the same without it . Electronic
Mail ( or E/Mail) is a great way of communicating
on the Internet. Not only can you send and
receive letters but you can also attach documents
( files, ect.) to your messages.
* Research - The Internet holds
an enormous amount of information from all
corners of the earth. You can access on-line
Encyclopedias, Libraries, Ect. to gain
information on almost any topic you might be
looking for. Once you find that information, you
can print it (as well as any pictures you might
see) or save it to a disk.
* Business - Look up telephone
numbers in an interactive phone book, access
competitor sites, track UPS of Fedex packages,
plan a business trip, or simply order a pizza
on-line. The list of things that could help you
at work is endless!
* Advertising - for a small fee
you can put your own company on-line! Advertise
your product where up to 50 million people could
have access to it.
* Internet communications -
Create a secure (employee only) Internet site
where you could store data and information useful
to your employees.
