finally coming into his own and is

youthful singer.
Boxer Mike Tyson is reported
to be on the verge of finishing up
a year in which he managed to
take $45 million to the bank, but
he is faced with spouse, mother-
in-law and manager problems that
will probably take a big chunk out
of that and leave him a pauper.
Yep, these folks arc the
exception rather than the rule, and
it would do our leaders in
Washington to take note of this
fact. The average Joe is still out
there hacking away at a living,
trying to make ends meet as best
he can. And, he’s making it on a
lot less than $150,000 a year as
some of the lawmakers are saying
they need.
There are a lot more Joes out
there than there are Sams, H.L.s,
Michaels and Bills.

Never cut your flowers in the morning. Since all day
the leaves manufacture food which is transported
around in the form of sugars to feed the plant, cut your
flowers in the late afternoon when they are the fullest
of sugar, if you want the flowers to last.

—Took note of a letter from the
Gaines County Grievance
Committee that says county
elected officials must write a
letter to the committee if they
wish to receive the raises
budgeted them in 1989. The
commissioners must then approve
the Grievance Committee
recommendation for the salaries
to be approved.
The action is required due to
an unintentional error in the
advertising of the elected officials
salaries, according to the letter.
-Approved budget transfers
and amendments for $6,351.10
from the general fund.

commissioner Robert Matthews,
who said the policy of buying in-
coumy first was not being
followed, according to the list of
bills he saw.
Matthews mentioned
specifically transactions for tires
and a tunc-up job for an
Seagraves EMS vehicle, and
Judge Max Townsend said he
would check into the tunc-up
situation.
Matthews said the
commissioners were entitled to an
explanation on the county-first
policy being violated.
’’As long as it is on the books
we are obligated to make an effort
to live by it,” said Matthews,
noting that the commissioners had
formally voted in an earlier
meeting to buy in-county first, if
possible.
County auditor Harvey
Hannah, in response to Matthew’s
statement, said he, Hannah, had
no legal authority to challenge a
purchase made out-of-county, but
that the commissioners could.
Townsend said he would visit
with the department heads and
make sure they understood the
policy.
After discussing he matter
further, the commissioners voted
to approve the accounts.
