Finn and Huck were friends. Finn up and died. No one worried, however.

They said, " Huck"ll bury Finn."

My wife loves it when the leaves turn all different colors. Yest she got very upset when the ring I bought her did the same thing.

To Superintend a Mine

W.F. Burns, of this city, has taken the position of superintendent of the Jack Dow mine, located between Leadville and Chitwood Hollow, and entered upon his new duties yesterday morning. The mine is owned by Franklin Greenwood, of Carthage, and some eastern parties. Mr. Burns, in partnership with Dell Pickering, is just getting started on the sinking of a shaft on the Davison farm, adjoining the Hood land sound of Reeds, but he will hire a man to fill his place there and keep on sinking. The shaft on the Davison farm is down about 14 feet.

It consisted of 2700 pounds of big lump lead. There is a lot of small lead on hand not yet cleaned up which will figure in a future turn in.

	Just Jake Talkin' Mornin' When I first got a car, I was always afraid to fill up the gas tank. I figured if the clunker broke down, I’d have to leave all that gas in the tank. The fuel was worth more than the car. I’m startin’ the think that kind of reasonin’ is creepin’ back into my brain. With catalytic converters worth upwards of a hunderd bucks, I understand those are bein’ ripped off as the car sits in parkin’ lots. I suppose now while the thief is under the vehicle grabbin’ the converter, he’ll poke a hole in the gas tank and pick up a little bonus. I’m guessin’ that lockin’ gas caps are bein’ sold at a record rate. My dad always had one on his cars. ‘Course he always carried a five gallon can of gas in the trunk too. Don’t think I’ll be pickin’ up that habit. This is some fact, but mostly, Just Jake Talkin’.

I am under the impression that it is one step before a heart attack. My father had angina and lived only three months after he was told what he had. He had a massive heart attack. I am concerned about this. -- R.T. ANSWER: Angina is chest pain described as a squeezing or pressure sensation that comes on when a person is active, in a particularly stressful situation or is out and about in very cold weather. The pain leaves when the activity stops, the stress is relieved or the person becomes warm. The pain is felt in the chest, but it can spread to the shoulder, the arm or the neck. Angina is a sign that the heart isn’t getting enough blood to support the stress, emotional or physical, that it must endure. It is the cry of a breaking heart. The cause of decreased blood flow usually is a buildup of cholesterol, fat and other material in the heart arteries. Angina is quite treatable. It’s not a prelude to an inevitable heart attack if measures are taken to increase blood flow to the heart muscle. People with angina have to adopt programs that increase blood flow through clogged arteries. They have to lower their cholesterol, keep their blood pressure at desirable levels and take part in physical activities prescribed by their doctors. They take medicines that ease the heart’s burden and that open up clogged arteries. They might need angioplasty, the procedure where a doctor threads a balloon-tipped soft tube to the point of artery obstruction and then inflates the balloon to squash it. I don’t know when your dad died, but I’m sure it was at a time when the opportunities that now exist for angina patients were not available.
