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

A PRINT SHOP ROMANCE.

Short-Graves Wedding Announced for Tomorrow Afternoon.

It is reported on authority that Walter Graves and Miss Pearl Short, both employed at the Daily Democrat office, are to be married tomorrow. It was the intention to secure the license tonight after the Press was out in order that their own paper should have the "scoop." A Press reporter called at the Democrat office and found the printers there all on the jolly, and never went up against a harder proposition to get news.

For the last six months the blushing young couple have been the object of continual friendly roasting, and the appearance of the reporter today was only the signal for a fresh out burst. In fact the groom to be scarcely knew where he was at, and it would not be hard to believe that the young couple were literally being bluffed into a wedding. Mr. Graves finally admitted to the reporter that he would be married to Miss Short tomorrow at 4:30 p.m., at the residence of Dr. H. O. Scott.

The friendship began in the Democrat office, but did not take a serious turn until a type-setting machine was installed on trial several weeks ago, and Mr. Graves and Miss Short were thrown together as operators on the machine, two persons being required.

Both are popular young folks, with many friends. Miss Short is quite good looking. Mr. Graves came here from his home at Neosho.

Another Awesome Exhibit!

by Robin Putnam, artCentral

Last Friday evening was ( again) an awesome and FUN opening !! We had such a great turn out !! It’s times like that that makes us feel like everything we are doing really is worth while !!

It’s always great to have new faces and we are thrilled that so many were from Carthage. Of course we are always VERY happy to see our old friends and regular supporters, too !!

It’s hard to believe we can fit soooo many people in here in one evening !! I guess none of us minds if it’s body to body for a while !!

As far as this new exhibit goes.......there are about 35 photos, some black & white and some in sepia tones ( a reddish brown) featuring people and works of art !!

There are several that would appeal to horse lovers, a few from a farm in Joplin and Dr. Speck is a gorgeous Leopard Appaloosa owned by Brent Erwin. Brent is also featured in some of the photos playing up his Native American heritage. There is a Masai princess, a witch doctor and maidens, some fascinating shots of ancient sculptures in Italy and a VERY well built fellow semi-dressed in ancient tribal apparel. All in all it is a wonderful presentation of the places and people Bill has photographed over the last year. Check it out !!

This exhibit will remain in the gallery until February 17. The next show is scheduled for March 2 and will feature the newest works by Debbie Reed, watercolor and collage and Sam Lewis, ceramics.

We would like to say welcome to our newest Board member, JoAnn Evans. We soooo appreciate her volun-teering her time and energies to help us out !! Also, FYI, we are now meeting at noon on Wednesdays. So if anyone is interested in joining us just plan on the third Wednesday of each month. Members and non- members are always welcome at these meetings.

Again, a big THANKS to JoAnn !!

More.........next week. 358-4404. 1110 E 13th & www. ozarkartistscolony.com M-W-F 9am - 3pm.

Mornin',

A couple a firewood suppliers I checked with are sittin’ without inventory. One guy told me he was haulin’ wood to a friend’s house when he was approached at a stop light.

"Wanna sell that wood?"

"I’m takin’ it to a friend."

"I’d sure buy it if ya want to sell."

The light changed.

From what I’m seein’ a decent rick of wood is costin’ around thirty to thirty-five bucks, dependin’ on how much you want to handle it. The City’s supply at twenty-five went pretty fast after the cold snap a few weeks ago. There’ll be more available later I’m sure.

With a little break in the weather, the supply should be replenished, hopefully ‘fore spring.

This is some fact, but mostly,

Natural Nutrition

What is it about garlic? Garlic has been the subject of many studies over the past centuries either through observation techniques or though scientific procedures.

In the original Back to Eden by Jethro Kloss, he states that garlic probably originated in central Asia, is cultivated in many countries and grows wild in Italy and southern Europe.

It was given to the slaves building the pyramids to increase their stamina and strength and to protect them from disease. It was used as a preventative against cholera, typhoid fever, and amebic dysentery.

"Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, used garlic as a laxative, a diuretic, for tumors of the uterus, leprosy, epilepsy, chest pains, toothaches, and for wounds incurred during battle. Aristotle also mentions the value of garlic and Aristophanes used garlic as a treatment for impotence."

During both World Wars it was used as an antibacterial and strong disinfectant. A dilution with water was used to kill the germs which caused cholera and typhoid fever. In 1989 it was described as a "Designer Food," the odor had been removed and it had become a much more acceptable form of treatment for all forms of ailments form high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart disease to the prevention of colds and flu. It has been used in the elimination of pinworms in children, as well as adults.

Herbert Peirson, Ph.D., formerly of the National Caner Institute and now with the Preventive Nutrition Consultants stated, "Several different studies have shown a link between garlic and lower incidences of stomach cancer. Another study shows lower rates of colon/rectal cancer." He added that garlic seems to enhance the immune system.
