Well, the Bingviile School has took tip again for the winter term with Jed Peters as instructor. School opened last Monday with the attendance of seventeen scholars to start with. There will be more later on, but at present some of our most respected farmers hereabouts are keeping their boys out of school until they get their fall work finished because just at the present time work is more important than education. Later on when it gets cold and freezes up and nobody can't do anything else, then is the time to get educashion.
 Jed Peters has teached our BingvilIe publick school for the past nine years and this makes the tenth, and has al- ways give satisfackshion to everybody concerned including them as he. has licked for their misdemeanors from time to time. Jed is a wonderful intelligent person. He can read most anything right off and writes a real good hand if you give him time and pen that won't scratch. He is also powerful quick at fggers, especially in his head What Jed can do with figgers without the use of slate and pencil is amazing. It is no wonder that the scholars who have been learnt by Jed amounts to some thing in this world
 The Bingville School has sent out into the world some famous men who have went and made fame and fortunes for theirselves without half trying. Take Solon Wentworth, for instants-Solon he got his educashion at the Bingvile School and now he's teamster at the Co., seat. Then there is August Feicht who went to school here as boy. Aug, is now engaged in the brewery business over at Dutch Settlement. There is also many others who have went to the Bingville School and have made their marks in the world afterward which we could name if we could only think of them Take ourself, for instants-we was educated at the Bingville School, 10, those many years agone.
 WHdI d RI anu tHilS CuuNdsiltOIi io after all What a blessing it is that we have in our midst institooshion of learning at which Jed Peters will learn the youth of our town and surrounding country all the knowledge that their heads will hold and learn it to them without money and without price. When you come to balance 'the books of life you will find that it is brains and not brawn that counts. Of course brawn counts in fist fight, but it don't count in fight for the highest intellectshual achievements.
 In conclusion we desire to say to the boys and girls of Bingville that if you happen to have any brains in your heads that you don't know what to do with take them to the Bingville School and have Jed Peters fill them full of knowl- edge for you and you will never regret it as long as you live. The world can foreclose the mortgage and take your property away from you, but it. cant ] rob you of your learning.

Marriages

After a brief courtship Glenn Miller was united in the holy bonds of we'd lock last Tuesday to Miss Amanda Blk by, one of Bingville's young ladies. Clem's home is not far from Hardscrab- ble and there is very romantic TO- nance leading up to the marriage we'd ding of him and Amanda. They first seen each other during Hardscrabble Old Home Week last July and it was a case of love at 1st sight. After that the dashing Glenn laid siege to Amanda's heart and has kept company with her every satterday night since. The Rev Samuel Moore performed the ceremony for half price being as Glenn ain't what you would call very flush where money is concerned. Amanda does not belong to the upper crust of Bingville society. but we understand she is respectable in spite of this. The Bugle wishes them much joy and many blessings.

Boomer They'll Be Married

It is roomered that Elmer Wilson, who has been keeping company every Sat urday night for II years with Miss FL len Hoskins. has popped to her at last and that the happy couple will be joined together so tight that nobody can rend them asunder in the not far distant fu- ture. We hope this roomer is correct. Eleven years is long time for young man to court a girl, but Elmer is very bashful and 1t probably took him all of that time to work his Courage up to the point where he could ask Ellen to be hisn.
