today's
laugh
A man dashed into the fire station. He
was tremendously excited, and burst out with: "I'm
sorry to interrupt you all, but my wife has disappeared
again."
One of the firemen looked up.
"That's too bad," he
sympathized, "but why tell us firemen? Why not
notify the police?"
The intruder shook his head.
"I don't dare tell the
police," he exclaimed. "I told them the last
time she disappeared-and they went out and found
her!"
"Times certainly have
changed," signed Smith.
"How so?" asked Robinson.
"Why, at a little family party
last night, the women talked politics while the men got
off in a corner and exchanged recipes."
He (not a bright conversationalist)-
"Something came into my mind just now and went away
again."
She (bored)-"Perhaps it was
lonely."

INTERESTING MELANGE.
A Chronological Record of Events as they have
Transpired in the City and County since our last Issue.
Drilling for Water.
Frank Galentine bought a Keystone drill
last week and took it immediately tot he Tuck farm twelve
miles southeast of Carthage, and a mile and a half north
of Pershley. It was placed in charge of Wm. Journey who
began drilling for water, and when everything was gotten
into running order, Chas. and Ben Newbert took charge of
the drilling. In running four shifts the drill went down
78 feet in solid lime stone and flint rock. No water has
been struck, but a good vein is expected at less than 100
feet.
Killed By a Powder Explosion.
Sam Kent, of Galena, was killed by an
explosion of a box of powder at the McCullogh mine on the
Jackson lease yesterday afternoon at four o'clock. Three
other men were badly hurt by the explosion.

Talkin'
Mornin',
I have always been taught
to respect the nations flag. Not because the
cloth was somethin' special, or the design
was all that outstandin', but because of what
it represented. It doesn't represent a
particular person or group but ideals that
are worthy of allegiance. Ideals including
one "indivisible" nation with
"liberty and justice for all."
These basic ideals are the
fabric of the people, not the woven thread of
the flag itself. The preservation of the
principles represented by the Union flag was
the result of the Civil War. The fight
ultimately confirmed that states do not have
the right to secede.
I have no objection to the
erection of a monument in honor of the
bravery and commitment shown by soldiers who
fought and died in the County of Jasper. But
the argument that any flag can be flown on
the Courthouse lawn without it representing
the ideals of those who fought for it is
bunk.
This is some fact, but
mostly,

Intro to the Internet.
The World Wide Web is the most
talked about component of the Internet today. It
is also the one component of the Internet that is
advancing ( in terms of technology) the fastest.
As you travel from place to place, information is
constantly being transferred back and forth
between client and server computers.
While youre
"surfing" the World Wide Web, you use
Hypertext Links (Some time called Hot Links) to
quickly travel from one location to another.
These links change colors after
you click on them. This makes it easier for you
to keep track of where youve been. In
addition, these links could take you anywhere.
Clicking on a hypertext link could connect you to
another town, state, or even country.
Of course, links arent
the only way to connect to another location. Each
World Wide Web site has its own individual
address. Youve probably seen commercials on
television where they show an address that; looks
something like
htt://www.company.com/. This is the
World Wide Web Address of that company. The real
name for this address in Uniform Resource Locator
(or URL) and you can easily access that
particular company by typing the address directly
in the location field on your browser.
