The dentist received a phone call as he was right in the middle of working on a patient. "Uh huh," he said, "I see. Don't worry. I'll be right there." He hung up the phone, took off his mask and gloves, went into the closet, grabbed his golf clubs, and preceded to head out of the office. "My God, Doctor," exclaimed his shocked nurse, "where are you going?" "It's an emergency," said the doctor, racing through the door. "I have eighteen cavities to fill!"

A Chronological Record of Events as they have Transpired in the City and County since our last Issue.
Struck Good Shines of Jack.
The miners in the shaft of the Tiger Hill Mining Co. in Northwest Carthage struck excellent shines of jack at 47 feet today. The shaft is about 100 yards east of the shaft where the gas was struck recently. The jack is imbedded in a sort of slate and the dirt is very similar to that taken out of the shaft on the Porter lot.
Will Continue Drilling.
The south Side Improvement Co. will begin tomorrow to drill the second hole on the fair grounds in search of mineral. The first hole was put down 200 feet and nothing but an excellent well of water found. As the members of the company are not looking for water, but mineral, they will drill elsewhere. The water in the hole stands within a foot of the top and is pure, clear and cold. The second hole will be put down midway between the gate and the race track.
Mornin',
With all the talk of the “virtual office” where folks work at home via computer modems and such, there seems that now it ain’t what some hoped it would be cracked up to be.
There are a lot of advantages, no drivin’ in ta work, flexible schedules, and easy communication, but somethin’ seems ta be missin’. As much as most complain about the congestion, people still work better when they have interaction with other people.
Proponents of the home office are now seein’ that there has ta be some actual face to face interaction.
For those who worry that people will get used ta sittin’ in front of a computer screen and never see the light a day again, this is good news. No matter how easy to use or convenient the communication device, it most likely won’t replace the old fashioned sit down chit chat that people thrive on.
I’m sure there were those who made predictions of doom when the telephone came around, prob’ly parents of teenagers.
This is some fact, but mostly, Just Jake Talkin’.

Hoover told the Mornin’ Mail that he hopes to have completed the first stage within four or five years and will then look at a plan for future construction.
Drawings of examples of the proposed duplexes were shown and Hoover said the units would rent in the range of $450-$500 up to $600-$650.
Hoover allowed area in the development for a storm water control site and said he plans to leave the house in place that is currently at the far northeastern corner.

Tons of Pressure
The components of your feet work together, sharing the tremendous pressures of daily living. An average day of walking, for example, brings a force equal to several hundred tons to bear on the feet. This helps explain why your feet are more subject to injury than any other part of your body.
Foot ailments are among the most common of our health problems. Although some can be traced to heredity, many stem from the cumulative impact of a lifetime of abuse and neglect. Studies show that 75 percent of Americans experience foot problems of a greater or lesser degree of seriousness at some time in their lives; nowhere near that many seek medical treatment, apparently because they mistakenly believe that discomfort and pain are normal and expectable.
There are several systemic disease which are sometimes first detected in the feet, the most serious of which is Kaposi's sarcoma, and AIDS-related illness; also included are diabetes, circulatory disorders, anemia, and kidney problems. Arthritis, including gout, often attacks foot joints first.
