SUNNY AND HIGH OF 25.

775 JACKSON COUNTY CITIZENS ATTENDED THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS LAST NIGHT. AND, JACKSON COUNTY, LIKE STATEWIDE, GAVE JOHN KERRY THE VICTORY. DICK GELPHARDT FINISHED 2ND AND HOWARD DEAN AND JOHN EDWARDS TIED FOR 3RD. I ATTENED PRECINCT 13 (MAQUOKETA 2ND WARD) AT THE COURTHOUSE AND MY PRECINCT ALSO GAVE KERRY THE MOST DELEGATES. I WAS THERE FROM 6:15 UNTIL 7:45. I WAS FOR KERRY AND I'M SURE HE WILL MAKE AN EXCELLENT CANDIDATE TO OPPOSE PRESIDENT BUSH IN NOVEMBER.

THE MAQUOKETA CARDINALS ARE #10 IN THE STATE TODAY. BUT, THEY LOST LAST NIGHT TO DEWITT SO WILL NO DOUBT FALL BACK OUT OF THE TOP 10 NEXT WEEK. MAQUOKETA LOST 43 TO 41 IN THE FINAL SECOND. BRENT CARRINDER LED MAQUOKETA WITH 22 POINTS. THE MAQUOKETA SOPHOMORES WON THEIR GAME LAST NIGHT.

TONIGHT, THE MAQUOKETA GIRLS PLAY AT DEWITT. BEFORE THE CHRISTMAS BREAK, MAQUOKETA DEFEATED DEWITT BY 4 POINTS HERE IN MAQUOKETA.

THE WRESTLERS WRESTLE AT HOME THIS THURSDAY NIGHT.

LAINE WOLTER BOWLED A 300 GAME AT TIMBER LANES LAST NIGHT...HIS 3RD GAME OF THE EVENING.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT. ON THE AGENDA AGAIN, THE PROPOSED NEW TRUCK STOP FOR THE SOUTH EDGE OF MAQUOKETA.

IOWA VERSUS IOWA STATE IN BASKETBALL TOMORROW NIGHT...SHOULD BE A GOOD GAME. AT AMES. IT IS A SELL OUT.
BOTH HAVE SIMILAR RECORDS.
