Waiter-"Did I bring you a menu?"

Customer-"If you did I ate it."

The young father was wheeling a baby carriage around the block on a very hot afternoon.

"My dear!" came a voice from an upper window of his house.

"Now let me alone!" he called back. "We're all right."

An hour later the same voice pleaded:" Charles dear!"

"Well, what do you want?" he replied. "Anything wrong in the house?"

"No, Charles dear, but you have been wheeling Nancy's doll all the afternoon. Isn't it time for the baby to have a turn?"

Resort- a place where the tired grow more tired.

1898
INTERESTING MELANGE.
A Chronological Record of Events as they have Transpired in the City and County since our last Issue.

A War Time Inquiry.

Marshal Bruffett is in receipt of a letter of inquiry from Victoria, British Columbia, as follows:

"Would you kindly inform me of anyone who could tell me of any relative of Thomas Kerr (or Hess) or his wife whose maiden name was Catherine Blevens? They lived at Carthage in the year of 1860 or 1861. Address Mrs. I.J. Ferrin, 154 Pandora street."

Anyone who could enlighten the inquirer would no doubt do a great favor by communicating either with her or Marshal Bruffett.

Mrs. A. Biffer and family start tomorrow from San Diego, California, for Carthage.

They have been visiting several months with Mrs. Biffer's daughter, Mrs. E.E. Roessler, who lives on a lemon ranch near San Diego.

Today's Feature

Plenty of Candidates.

The anticipated appointment of a replacement for Eastern District County Commissioner Mike Cloud has spawned interest in both the Republican and Democratic Jasper County Committees. Both parties have received a good number of candidates from which to choose and it appears that both parties hope to have names to submit to Governor Carnahan by the end of this week. Today is Cloud's last day on the job. He submitted his resignation in mid September citing health and family reasons.

According to members of the Republican Committee at least six individuals have shown serious interest in the position. They include Rowland Diggs, Gary Coats, Cory Gjeruldsen, Ron Ferguson, Kathy Rowland, and Gary Mohr. The Committee will meet Thursday evening at the Carthage Courthouse to select three candidates.

The Democratic Committee has received resumes about ten candidates but would not officially release their names yesterday afternoon. A complete list should be available today. Carthage residents Jack Vandergriff and Ben Johnson are to be considered according to reliable sources.

Mornin',

It's interestin' to see the different approaches taken by the two parties pickin' individuals for the County Commissioner job. The Democrats are submittin' resumes that will be submitted to the full committee by the executive committee. I'm assumin' there will be some recommendations.

The Republican Committee requires that any candidates be nominated by a committee member. The full committee will then vote for their choice.

Each committee is lookin' at puttin' three candidates on the list to be sent to the governor. As you might have noticed, a good portion of those listed on the Republican side have run for office before.

I would have ta think that most understand that Governor Carnahan isn't likely to overlook the fact of which party is bein' represented by his choice. The main interest by both parties is that Jasper County is well served by whoever is appointed.

This is some fact, but mostly,

Intro to the Internet

Where do all these service come from?

Service like Web pages, FTP sites, News groups, E-Mail, Ect., are all individual function of these computer we call servers (or hosts). Some servers don’t have many features at all, while other servers have all kinds of services available.

Luckily for you and me, the servers know who they are, and they know where the other computers are as well. When you make a request for a Web page, the servers work together to help you find the server where that Web page exists. If one computer is down between you and the server you’re asking for, the other computers will help to find a path for your request to travel on. Once the path is finally resolved, the connection is made, and you see your Web page. The same is true in regards to most of the requests over the Internet.

In Review:

The Internet is a huge collection of computers world wide. They are connected to each other by a method that guarantees access (provided that computer is operational and connected to the network). There are servers (also referred to as "hosts") that provide services of all types. No one person or group owns the Internet, yet there are many committees and organizations that supervise its development evolution.
