INTERESTING MELANGE.
A Chronological Record of Events as they have Transpired in the City and County since our last Issue.

A Careless Wheelman.

Choteau Garrison and Newell Holbrook while walking along on South Main street the other night were startled by the whiz of a bicycle as its rider came scorching down the pavement. They sprang back, but the wheel struck Garrison, throwing him against the fence, skinning his arm and bruising his shoulder. The young men made an effort to catch the reckless rider and would have handled him roughly but he was not thrown by the collision and so escaped.

To Raise the College Bonds.

The board of directors of the Commercial Club met this afternoon at the Carthage National bank and arranged the final details of the canvass to raise the $2,500 to secure the college proposition.

The city was divided into four districts and for each district a soliciting committee was appointed. It’s the firm intention to so push the work that tomorrow will finish the whole business.

One thing for sure, there are gonna be plenty a choices come election day.

The big surprise ta me was Stanley Walker’s entrance to the State Representative race. Walker has served the last few years on the Carthage Park Board and is involved in the youth soccer program.

I suppose the interestin’ race there will be the primary ‘tween him and the lady from Nevada. From what I understand there is a stronger Democrat foothold in the northern portion of the district.

Senator Singleton didn’t get filed until a little after two in the afternoon from what I can tell. Haven’t heard anything from his announced opponent Richards.

I’ve gotta think that the rush of candidates is ‘bout over. There will no doubt be a steady trickle of other entrants over the next month or so. I’ll try ta keep up with it but for now I’ll prob’ly get back to the upcomin’ City election sneakin’ up on us.

This is some fact, but mostly, Just Jake Talkin’.
