Wedding While You Wait.

W.R. Gilmore of Galena and Miss Emma Fink of Barry County were married this morning at half past eight o'clock by Rev. Geo. Barnhart at his store at Howard avenue and Fourth street. The couple accidentally stopped at the store to inquire where a minister might be found and were promptly informed that right there was the place. They were married, paid the fee and departed in less than ten minutes. Rev. Barnhart now thinks of hanging out his shingle to read: "Weddings speedily and satisfactorily performed."

Mornin',

If ya haven't had the opportunity to meet the new Police Chief Dennis Veach, you can attend the mornin' coffee sponsored by Main Street Carthage this Wednesday. The Chief is gonna do a little speakin' there at the Fix Coffee Shop startin' around 7:00. Be a good chance to get a close look and hear some about how he plans to operate the department - ask a few of those questions you have been kickin' around. You might want to ask that all time favorite, "where's a cop when ya really need one," I'm sure he'll be glad to give you a reasonable answer.

If ya didn't hear it before, Chief Veach came ta Carthage after bein with the Columbia, Missouri department for 23 years. His last position was as the Deputy Chief. Columbia has 117 officers.

There is no charge for the meetin', coffee and breakfast is available at normal rates.

This is some fact, but mostly,

The Super Handy Man

Q: We just moved into a house heated by floor furnaces. Should we cover the furnaces during the off season to keep the dust out? -G.G.

A: Not only do you want to keep out dust, you wouldn't want your air conditioner to have to cool the crawl space under the floor.

Take up the floor grille and cut a piece of plywood or hardboard to fit it. You can tape the wood to the underside and slip the grille back into place.

You also could tape a plastic trash bag to the bottom of the grille.

 

Q: We have copper gutters on our home and must replace a downspout. It's on the back where it's not seen, and I had planned to just use an inexpensive aluminum downspout. A friend tells me that joining unlike metals will cause a galvanic reaction that could ruin one or both metals. Is this true? -Y.P.

A: Possibly. Spray-paint the surfaces of both components where they will come in contact with each other. That would be outside the copper and inside the aluminum. Use a paint specified for metal.

When dry, the paint should ensure that there's no actual contact of the two metals.

 

SUPER HINT: If you have kept wicker furniture in storage over the winter , treat it to a warm bath. Clean it with a little diluted soap water. Rinse it and let it sun dry. The chair should smell and look great.
