Alonxo SEillings dropped into the office recently with tine ittenshion of paying us ss on his subscription, but when Alonzo found that he was already paid up to 1888 he decided he would put the money somewhere else where it would do him more good. Alonzo was under the impreshion that he was only paid up to 1884 and was thus agreeably dis appointed-so was we. but not agree ably.
 Miss Sally Hoskins. our poet writer. had intended to write us a poem on Autumn" for this issue, but she has been so busy doing house work that she couldn't find time to do 1t, but may in the future.

Big Event!
Pumpkin Grange, No. A, Held Its Regular Meeting In Our Midst
 Big Iurnout--Crops Diseust

One of the largest events which has took place in Bingville for a long spell was the monthly meeting of Pumpkin Grange No. A which assembled in the Town Hall all day last Thursday.
 Rev. Sam'l. Moore, our beloved pastor, opened the opening session of the grange in the morning by means of prayer and was followed by the opening chorus sung by everybody present of which there was a large number composed of farmers and their wives and children from all around here. their strident voices being accom- panied by sweet sprains on the melodeum which had been moved to the Town Hall espeshial for the occasion and played by the nimble fingers of Miss Nancy Howell of the Howell district.
 The great event of the day was a leck- shure in the P. M. by State Lecturer Col. Dave Goodwin. Mir. Goodwin got his title of Colonel in the recent war with Spain where he started in as a corporal and was promoted. His subject was '"The Turnip-Its Uses and Abuses" He said among other things as follows:
 '"The turnip is one of the greatest lux uries on earth. They are good for man and beast alike. Of course they ain't so good for children espeshially when they eat IOO 1uuCIl, DuL CNCh AA eiiSJ nv NAAN A~ suit is more than overbalaneed by the benefit the turnip Is to grown up people and cattle" Loud applause.)
 But when Col. Goodwin said he thought if would be better to raise less corn and more turnips he stirred up the Fuckers from Tucker Hill district where every body raises corn. Eb Tucker often has more than an acre and a half planted in corn at one time. At this juncture Hank Cnf after cat which snuk into the hall and scared horse hItched in front of the hall which broke loose and run off and everybody rushed ont to see if it was their horse and that ended the leckshure.
 The next thing on the programme was A big supper served by the ladies in the basement. And such a supper! The ta- hle fairly groaned with good things. The yittles was passed around from person to person by Bingville's most charming daughters There was brown bread and beans and custard pie and apple pie and pumpkin pie and pickles and peanuts and coffee, and cetera. Everybody ct hearty.
 In the ev'g. come the litry part. Miss Howells opened this part by playing a few chords on the melodeum. Following this Miss Sarah Ann Bumpus. of Bogg Falls, recited "Curfew Shall Not Wiring
 Tonight" in a way that made everybody present feel awful sad. Then Ez Will kins' daughter Liz sung "Just Before
 The Battle, Mother in such heart rem dering way that tears was seen in many eye and the sniffling throughout the | hall was very audible.
 | A discussion of the questshton, "What | is the Best Time to Plant Corn?" fol- | lowed Several discussers took part in
 this and it was decided that the best time to plant corn is in the spring. This
 shows how much the grange is doing for
 the farmer The meeting then broke up. Next month the grange will meet at Snake Bend in the school house.

This is the time of year a fire begins to feel welcome.
 Jabe Tucker went and purchased a pair of insoles from Hen Weathersby's store to keep his feet warm with and put 'em inside his boots which made his boots so tight he couldn't get 'em on, so he took the insoles back to Hen and demanded his money, but Hen said he couldn't take insoles back which had been used, so Jabe now. offers these insoles to whoever de- sires them for just what he paid for them, which is 10 cents. Jabe don't want to make any profit on them, he says.
 Samantha Deevers is on the sicklist as usual. Samantha has now been on the sicklist for nearly 15 years, and there has been only few weeks during that time that we have failed to make some mention of the fact that she is on the sicklist. We don't want to sleight eny- body.
 Sam Skinner has sold his bull pup and bought rabbit dog with the proceeds Sam says he will lend his rabbit dog for 10 cts. per day and found.
 Eph Higgins our accommodating P. M reports the sale of stamps a little ahead this month as against last month. His cash book shows that he has sold fifteen Pct. stamps so far this month compared with only Il for the corresponding period of last month. If you need stamps buy them now. Hen desires to make as good a showing with the government in his next quarterly report as possible.
 Hank Dewberry sent Bud Hinckley who ain't quite right in his head into Hen Weathersby's store last week and told Bud to ask Hen if he had any tcicle seed. Bud asked Hen and Hen told him to git right outen his store unless he desired to be kicked out. Hank outnt to make a fool outen Bud simply because he ain't quite right in his head.

PIutarCh'S Leg Asleep

Last Friday ev'g. about 8 p. m. as Hen Weathersby. prop. of our general store, was closing the shutters of his store pre- paratory to closing up for the night Plu- tarch Stone who had been setting acrost a nail-keg without no top in 1t for a couple of hours got up to go home and fell end over end with his face in the sawdust box. Hez Watkins had noticed that Plutarch had been eating crackers outen the cracker barrel and thought he was chokin, so Hez begin to pound Plu- tarch in the back. Hen Weathersby said not to do that because in his opinion Plutarch had had stroke. Jake Ormsby thought Plutarch was having fit and run outen the store to excape.
 But bye and bye Plutarch explained that his leg had only went to sleep on him and that when he went to walk on it the leg wouldn't hold him up and so he fell down. Plutarch then desired to know who the dastard was who hit in the back Hez who had hit him declined tO answer and everybody else denied 1t. Plu- tarch finally hobbled off home and good deal Tiled un6

In the last issue of his pusilanimous sheet the editor of the Hardscrabble Banner whose name is Smith, again re- ferred to the Bingville Bugle as the Bingville Bunghole. He further charged that we claimed five subscribers more than we really had and that the major ity of them which we had didn't pay for the Bugle because they didn't consider it worth paying for.
 Heretofore we have passed with scorn and silent contempt athe imbesile vaperings of the editor of the Banner, but the time has came when forbear- ance hath ceased to be a virtue, so when Smith paid us pleasant call at our office while he was in town after new subscribers last Tuesday we took occashion to settle with him personally He arrived at the Bugie office accom- panied by Seth Dewberry, our town constubble. Seth was probably acting in the capacity of body guard for him. When Smiths shadow darkened the door of our editorial sanctum and we looked around and recognized him we arose, but said nothing. Smith on the other hand greeted us in his slirny way and said being as he was in town he thought 1t would be no more than right for him to pay us fraternal call, being as him and us was both brothers laboring in the same noble cause, as you might say,
 We asked him with beetling brows to leave the office unless he desired to be throwed out bodily Smith jest laffed and said that he was sorry to find Us in sich a ugly temper and would remain a while to see if kind words would not soothe us some.
 It was at this junckshure that we turned our back for ninnit to haul off our coat and roll up our sleeves and spit on our hands, and while our back was turned the ignominious retch jumped onto our person and both ot us fell over a chair into the hell box with the editor of our esteemed contempor- ary on top. Constable Dewberry, with heroick presence of mind, grabbed up a pail of paste which sat beside the desk and hurled the contents at us as we struggled about the floor A large DOT shion of the paste struck us in the face DlllQllS R5 tellpOIdIy diiu NioSoiNSA |. ing us a good deal. Seth then fled from the office to secure help.
 In the meanwhile the Banner editor choked off our wind until we got black in the face and asked us if we had enough As soon as we could git our breth we told him we had suffishient He then released us and after we had ariz to our feet he give us kick and departed He even invited us to call on him the first time we happened to be in Hardscrabble and make ourseli as much at home in his office as he had made himself at home in ours. Then he departed and returned immejit to Hardscrabble.
 We felt that our honor was satisfied being as the skin was scraped offen one side of our face where he had rubbed our cheek against the floor and oul suspenders was broke and we was SC sore in spots that we could not reclmt in a sitting posture without great az ony. As for Constable Dewberry we deolore the rawardiv act he played ir

StatIstlCks by Seth

We had talk with Seth Dewberry, our lion-hearted town constable the other day in the P. O. for publication. We asked Seth if he had brung any person to justice of late and he said he had not and added that in his opinion crime in Bingville was on the decrease owing to his stern ad- ministration as constable. Seth said that year ago chicken thieves was so thick that nobody's chickens was safe, but that he has drove these fiends in human form out of our midst and will continue to per- form the duties of his office to the best of his ability. It is awful comforting to have our lifes and properties safe-guard- ed by a man like Seth Dewberry who IS a powerful terrer to evil doers. If Seth desires to run for constable next spring he will have the warm support of the BuS'

New Machinery Installed

Some very clever devices are in use
now days for shaping and ironing collars,
cuffs and neckbands for mems shirts,
and complete equipment is now Install
ed at the Blackfoot Steam Laundry. The
collar is folded with a rounding fold
instead of a sharp angle, making it
more comfortable to the wearer, and
the collar lasts much longer than when
ironed in the old way. The linen is all
starched by rolling over and over in a
tight case, similar to the rotary churn,
instead of being beaten.
The washing process is also applca-
tion of hot water, soap and steam IN
rotary case, and there is no rubbing and
tearing of the goods like rubbing them
on the wash board or twisting them
about in the washing machine that has
twisting device inside of it. Running
clothing thru wringer has kept women
sewing on buttons, but the new rotary
wringer in the laundry simply y separates
the water from the clothes by centrl
fugal motion, and never strains thread
or breaks button. The new laundry Is
open to visitors, and it is treat to see
it working.

the canal: each summer he hired out to
work on some other mans ranch, and in
season he put up hay for share, and
the whole family aided in one way or
another, for, be it remembered, Mr.. and
Mrs. Nielsen are the happy parents of
five boys and five smiling girls. In the
fall the canal work would be resumed
uutil winter stopped operations. This
round of Joy continued for seven years
before they got drop of W br on the
land for irrigation, and in The mean
time they raised no crop. @2Drinklng
water they always had in plenty, for
they dug well, and when they put
bread with it they had bread and water.
1t was very hard sometimes to keep
bread in the house, and Mrs. Nielsen
did her part to clothe the family and
make living. She encouraged Mr..
Nielsen to stick to the undertaking, and
once when he was out at the canal camp
for six days with nothing but bread and
twelve eggs, there was hunger both at
home and in camp, and the Pullman
dining cars that went swinging luxur-
iously past the door and the camp every
day afforded meals that would have as
tonished the very cobblestones at the
ditch camp.
But good things are not necessarily
perpetual; neither is poverty. Take a
