What Hank went to the Co. seat for was pair of leather half soleS to sole his boots with. Why are not leather half soles kept in Bingville?

RehearsaIs of Our Horn Band

The BingviIle Horn Band give a public rehearsal in the basement of the church last Satterday ev'g.. for the benefit of the Ladies Aid Coffee' and sandwiches was served at cts. each. while the band boys dispersed lovely musick. Our band boys plays turrible well together now. and any one who is familiar at all with the pieces they play and has ear for musick can recognize most every seleckshion. If we might make so bold as to offer little friendly criticism we would say that it don't seem necessary for them to play quite so loud when they play, espeshially when a person is penned up in a church basement and can't get away. Most every body present went home with headache. But in spite of this all had a enjoyable time.

The Bugle never had as many sub scribers as it has at the present writ ing. whereas on the other hand we never had as little ready cash in our hands as we have there at the present writing.
 A person would nacherly think that when a newspaper has more subscrib- CTS than it ever had before that it would therefore be more prosperouser, but this is not true espeshially in our case. The more subscribers we manage to get the more diversity seems to stare us in the face, The more sub scribers we have the nearer to us ap- pears the speckter of the sheriff with his hammer and taeks. If all of our subscribers would keep their subscrip- shions paid up in full to date things would be different, but our subscribers do not do this and those who think they do are in error.
 Suppose, for instants that we had 300 subscribers .(we have nearly that many now), and suppose that 250 of said sub scribers had never paid us a cent and probably never will. Now suppose we manage to boost OUT subseripshion to 600 and that out of this number only 100 kept their subscripshions paid up. Now wouldn't we be worse off with 600 subscribers than we was with 300? Course we would. That's just the way it works with the Boogle. The more subscribers we get the more dead beats we get and the more dead beats we get the nearer we approach to the verge of starvashion and bankruptcy. In other words if we get many more subscribers on the present basis we will be ruined and the Bugle will haft to discontinue publicashion.
 We therefore make the announce ment that we do not desire any sub scribers in the future except those who are willing to pay for the Bugle in ad- vance and keep it paid in advance as long as they remain subscribers. We have not determined to take this arbi- trary step without much deep thought We have rassled with this problem of existence to such an extent that we couldn't sleep at nights and have came to the conclusion that hereafter we are going to do business more on a cash basis or else not do it at all. Dog-gone the credit system, anyhowl
 The credit system has awful lot of drawbacks espeshially when we are the creditor. When somebody else is the creditor it don't make so much differ ence, but when subscribers owes us for Bugle subscripshions we are always meeting with surprises and disappoint- ments. Take Lige Henning, for in- stance. Lige is one of our oldest sub scribers. Lige begin to take the Bugle more than IA years ago. He hasn't missed copy since and hasn't paid a cent for 1t either. We'll last week Lige

Stove no Good

Hen Weathersby. prop. of our general store built fire in his stove in the store for the first time last Tuesday ev,g. You will ,member 1t was quite coolish that ev'g. We'll, the stove smoked so that it drove, everybody outen the store. Hen then Remembered that he hadn't took the packing outen the chimney and so he done so, but still the stove smoked. There is a big crack in the stove and Hen Is of the opinion that this Is what causes the stove to smoke and is afeared he will haft to get new stove. This nacherly makes Hen feel bad who has had this stove for the past 15 years and Is just beginning to get attached to 1t. LATER Hen saws this old stove will haft to last out this winter anyhow being Ss he has decided he can't afford to Buy a new stove.

up and died and his estate is mortgaged to the last cent. Of course we'll never get any of that subscripshion money. That's sample of what we have to contend with.
 But we are not agoing to give up yet. We are agoing to hang on little longer in the hope that some of our deadbeat subscribers will prance up and pay us what they owe.
 Shame on youl--why don't you pay your Bugie subscripshions, you infer nal tightwads. youi

The TaiIor-Made.

The short coat is in evidence in most Of
the suits brought out for spring.
A great many coat collars are Of en-
broidered velvet or cloth.
The hand-embroidered velvet, cloth, taft
feta OF mot'e waistcoats seen in imported
tailormades aften extend above the neck
Of the coat, suggesting an inner collar.
Sleeves Of coats are. by pretty general
mandate. OF three-quarter length. In
severe tailormade coats the sleeves are
Of simple coat-sleeve cut and are OF full
length.
Skirts cannot be too carefully moulded
to the figure at the top and too great
amplitude cannot be given them at the
foot. The umbrella skirt, as a result Of
this fashion, is in high favor. The plait-
ed skirt however. is the leader just now.
