A Dry Town!
That's What BInsvIIIe Is At Present Water Never So Skesres Before -Wells All A-Golns Dry- What f Thers'd Bo
 Fire

Bingvilie is at present in one of the worst scarcities of water that she has ever experienced in her history, and un- less 1t rains soon there Is no telling what the end will be. Uncle Bale Hawkins, who is one of our oldest inhabitants, says that he has lived in Bingville. boy and man, for a period of 80 years, and he never seen as dry a season as this sea- son, which is saying good deal.
 Several of the wells in Bingville has went dry and others are a going to do the same unless tt rains soon. Also there ain't any water in Snake Creek except puddle here and there.
 What are we a going to do about this turribIe scarcity of water, we ask? We answer, what can we dor Rev Sam'l Moore, the beloved pastor of our church. called mass meeting in the basement of the 0sflrch on prayer-meet- ing night and asked them all to pray for rain. Well, those present prayed and prayed and prayed until they was horse. but not a drop of rain has fell as a result and Rev. Moore says he calkilates this is because those as prayed for rain didn't have enough faith.
 There IS water in the town well on the publick square, such as it is, but who wants to use 1t? T'other day Brad Hins- ley, went to the town well for a pail of water and let down his pail on a rope, and when he brought a old boot and a straw hat and frog up in his pail he poured out the water and went home in disgust.
 Jason Tucker, the chief of the Bing- vile fire dep't, says that if fire should break out in Bingville at present he fears the worst, being as there ain't no extra water to fight the fire with. and how the thunderashion can you fight fire if you ain't got no water to fight 1t with?
 There is considerable water In Cy Hoskins' well. but Cy has took out his pump and locked the trap door to his well platform and put up tresspass notices warning his neighbors to keep away from his water. That's a nice neighborly way for Cy to act. now ain't it. Cyrus, the time is coming when you will ask for a drink of water in your future home and the gentleman with horns and a tail who you ask will only sheer at you.
 Them as have hard cider left ain't worrying much about the water famine Bill Hepburn, our artistick blacksmith. has used up his three barrels of hard cider, but last week he laid in 12 gal. keg of beer from the Go. seat which he calkilates will last him until 1t rains.
 There Is nice cold water in Snyder Brook which is half a mile west of Bing- vile and a great many people are im- porting water by the barrel from there, but that's a long ways to go for water
 Hen Weathersby. prop. of our enter prising business emporium. had a barrel of water hauled from the brook and set up in his store and now Hen charges a cent per qt. for this water to them of his customers who is thirsty, but those who have drunk it says it's not first class water being as Hen used a kerosene barrel which don't help the fiaver of the water any
 Let us hope 1t will rain soon.

Iz Wilkins, down to Hen Weathers- by's store tother eyg, spoke about readin in a outside newspaper that a feller had. invented a airship to travel through the air which would fly around wherever he wanted it to and perdickted that the time would come when we would all be travelling here and there in airships from one point to enother and back again. This chap perdickted that the time would come when every man would be able to own his own airship and that then we wouldn't have no use for railroads or street cars or horses or any other means of locomoshion than airships. = Lem Brown, our expert carpenter who was in the store when Iz was talking sneered and laughed at what Iz said and said 1t was ridiculous to think that the time would ever come when people would fly around in the air. Lem said it wasn't intended that a human being should fly through the air like swaller or a blue-jay for if it had been the Lord would of give a man wings to fly with.
 We calkilatathat Lem IS authority on this questshiorf and knows what he is talking about being as it ain't been more than year since he rigged up a con- trapshion to fly with and like to of broke his neck before he got through with it. That was last spring a year ago. Lem he had been reading up on flying machines and he got the idee into his head that he could make pair of wings for hisself by which he could sail and soar all around over Bingville. Lem he made the frames for the two wings outen white ash which had been dried and seasoned and covered them with thin oiled muslin. They was made to fasten arodnd his arms right at the shoulders and down farther on the wings was a grip for each hand to work the wings by. There was also sort of a fan-tailed rudder contrapshion which he was to fasten on hisself to steer himself by It took Lem about three weeks to make the wings and tail and then he nounced that on Satur- day he would take flight from the top of the Town Hall, sail around the stee- ple of the Bingville church and then light back on top of the Town Hall where he started from.
 There was a turrible big crowd tuTneQ out lO A<ShA ny VOpAC stopped work and come from miles in every direckshion. Lem he clim up on the top of the Town Hall carrying the end of a rope and then pulled up the wings and tail and strapped them on his self and when he stood up ready to take flight he was about 2 feet from tip to tip.
 with awed breath and presently Lem he scrooched down and give a jump into space and begin to flap his wings and turned over twice and fell into maple tree which stands in front of the church shaking him up considerable and break ing both wings and one leg besides bark ing his shins and knocking the breath outen him. It is a good thing that maple tree was where it was. Otherwise it is the general opinion that Lem would of been killed. As it was he was so Snarled up that be couldn't get down

 Lige Baker got turrible skun in a game of checkers with Anne HiIlyer at Hen Weathersby's store t'other ev'g Anne got all but two of Lige's men and cornered them both without having to even break up his king row. Anne is a awful deep hand at a game of checkers but we reckon he'll meet his match some day.

Cat & Dog Fight

Lime Peterson's dog Tige and Hez Underwood's cat Mariah got into a fight in Hen Weathersby's store tother ev'g and upset a peck measure full of eggs, breaking several which wasn't fresh so that everybody in the store had to ad- journ to the outside where the air was pure. Hen was purity mad. He went to kick out the cat and the dog, kickinA at the dog and missing 1t, but kicking the corner of the counter and blame near breaking his leg. Then the dog bit him on the calf of the leg and scooted outen the store and run home
 Hen says if he only knew who started the fight. the cat or the dog, he would make Lime or Hez settle for them eggs.

 We incline to the editorial opinion that Lem is correct when he says that it will be long time before folks fly through the air The force of gravita- ton is such as to make this almost im- possible.
