Eph Higgins. our accommodating
P. NJ. has met with turrible calam-
nifty in his offshia1 capacity Eph says
the sale Of stamps has been very dull
so far this month, in fackt he amt sold
4 two-cent stamp since the 1st inst. and
has therefore had no accashion 70 open
the drawer where he keeps his stamps.
Yesterday. however. he chanced to- take
a look into the drawer and his con-
sternashion and disgust can better be
described than imagined when he dis
covered that all the stamps in the drawer
was all stuck together owing TO the
muggy weather we have been having.
The pct and let and set and special
delivery stamps was all stuck togeth-
er in a mess. In his excitement irving
20 get the stamps apart Eph tore a 5-ct
stamp In two. This wouldn't OF been so
bad being as he could OF put the two
parts together again. but he went and
lost one Of the halls and now he says
he will sell the other half Of the oct
stamp for cts and stand the loss of
the other three cts hisself. This is a
liberal offer
LATER-By holding the stamps in the
steam from the teakettle Eph has sue
ceeded in separating them and also burn
ing his fingers. The stamps amt got no
glue on them at present. but Eph will
furnish glue from bottle for his Gus
toners when they purchase stamps.

Once more we feel it our sollum duty
to call the attenshion of the fathers &
mothers Of Bingville to the fact that
there amt been a birth in our midst for
over three weeks. Whose fault is this
awful state Of affairs?
We answer that it is your own fault
and you must abide by the consequences.
While there amt been no births in
Bingville ior three weeks there has been
two babies borned in Hardscrabbe
whose sex we did not learn. Shall it
be said TO the everlasting shame and
conSternashion of Bingville that the
/ pusllanimouS town of Hardscrabbe is
/ going 10 beat us on berths? How can
Bingviile ever hope to rank with the
metTOpulusses Of this country until she
gets a populashion that will dun near
crowd her often the earth?
What makes populashions we ask?
| Why births. OF course. As soon as the
births ceases then the populashion be-
gins TO run down inmmejit We must
not be selfish and say to ourseIfs, 20.
well what do / care about the popu-
fashion Of Bingyille after am dead and
gone supposing | don't have no children
TO leave after me-" What il our fore
fathers had of talked like that? Where
would we all of US be today? Every
citizen and CitizenesS Of Bingville ought
TO have enough pride in the future wei
fare of this town to want TO see it pros
per.
It pains US turrible to have to keep
pestering away at the husbands and
wives of Bingville on this questshion.
But We feel it is our duty to do so and
we will 90 our duty if it takes hide and
hair off Why don't we have more twins
in our midst like Mr.. and Mrs. Ranse
Hlllyer, who have had two pairs? A
little over a month ago Mrs. Hillver pre-
sented Ranse with the second set. which
makes II children in all which has come
along at odd times now and then.
Let US not have It said Of US that we
haft to take back seat when it comes
to raising children, but let US spunk uD
and do our duty and save BinqvilIe from
race suicide which is at present a staring
her IN the face and thus populate orr
enterprising city until it shall be said
of US that we be too full for utterance
