today's laugh

My boy, there are two things which are vitally necessary to succeed in business.

What are they, dad?

Honesty and sagacity.

What’s honesty?

Always - no matter what happens or how adversely it may affect you - always keep your word once you have given it.

What’s sagacity?

Never give it.

Lost a Valuable Horse.

G.W. Fosdick is mourning the loss of a valuable horse-the pet of the family. He found her this morning with one foot fast in the manger with evidences that she had made heroic efforts to free herself. On being released she died in five minutes, being completely exhausted.

Scalded at the Quarry.

G.W. Bennett, a quarryman for the Center Creek Stone, Co., was severely scalded with hot steam while at work in the quarry Monday. He was working with a portable steam drill and was handling the rubber steam pipe when the wire wrapping caught in his shirt and caused the hose to break.

His left shoulder and arm received the full force of the scalding steam. Bennett came to town on the electric car and had his injuries dressed by Dr. Post. He is now recovering nicely.

Mornin',

Monday will be the official end of the fifteenth year of publication of the Mornin’ Mail. For those who don’t want ta figure, we put the first Mail on the street on June 18, 1992. That comes out to about 3,600 issues, and near that many Jake Columns. Looks like even Jake should observe a day of silence ever’ now and then.

‘Course the whole operation is entirely dependent on the cooperation of our readership and our loyal sponsors. Sponsors put up the cash, and the readers have to support the sponsors by walkin’ in the door. Next time you pick up a Mornin’ Mail, be sure to acknowledge your appreciation for those who allow the Mail to occupy valuable counter space. Let those who advertise know you appreciate their contribution. Tell ‘em ya saw it in the Mornin’ Mail.

This is some fact, but mostly,

Just Jake Talkin’.

ART NOTES FROM HYDE HOUSE
By Sally Armstrong, Director of artCentral

No one who has seen the exhibition of art currently being shown here in Carthage at the Hyde House Galleries can say we don’t have variety! Ninety pieces of various media are presented side by side representing forty artists from three states. There are sculptures in marble and alabaster, fiber, metal, and wood, framed photography, oils, acrylics, watercolors and watermedia on our walls, textiles and weaving, jewelry and ceramics on pedestals and platforms. All ages and genders, old members and new. Something truly for everyone!

Seven artists we are seeing for the first time. These include Cha’Tullis of Hominy, Oklahoma and his paintings of horses, Melody Knowles of Carthage has three very different entries in ceramic sculpture and mixed media, Frank Young of Joplin and two oils of city and harbor scenes, Kathleen Day of Nevada and three very different entries, one a metal sculpture, Betsy Cooper of Joplin with intaglio prints and a watercolor, Janice Kinman of Carthage with a pencil sketch and a watercolor, and Kelly Moreland of Joplin and 2 framed textiles. Welcome to these new artist-members of artCentral and their work! If you have not yet had a chance to see this wonderful exhibition we hope you will do so before it closes at the end of the day Sunday the 17th of June. Artists may pick up their work anytime after that day during regular hours or by appointment. And speaking of new artists to our area, the paintings for the next exhibition are already here and we are very pleased and excited to show for the first time in Missouri the work of a Wisconsin artist, Cathy Martin. Her oil paintings are done on masonite board, reflect rural themes and nature, and are elegant and realistic pieces that should be most appealing to all. I invite you to plan to come to this next showing we have scheduled for July 13- August 5th here at our gallery, and additionally see a second exhibit of Cathy’s daughter Lindsey’s photo-realistic paintings in the Member Gallery. Both of these shows should be fantastic!
