in his first election, and in his last race,
which was two years ago, he piled up q
plurality of nearly $4,000. In six years
time the county as well as the city ad-
ministration has, as result of the
johnson leadership, become nearly SOL
idly Democratic.
But it is generally admitted that
Mayor Johnson now has the fight o,
his life on his hands. Mr.. Burton Is
native Buckeye and his record both
personally and politically is clean. He
is n strong supporter of Secretary Taft
for the presidential nomination, and
before it became known that he would
run for the mayoralty it was announced
that he was favored by the administra.
tion people for the speakership Of the
next congrcs, in preerfence to Mr.. Can
non of Illinois.

.Obe Hankins Too Smart
 for Hen
The Former Becoming Millionaire
 In the Egg Business

Hen weatnersby informs us that obe 1 Hankins. who has always been regarded as one of our most honest and respeckted citizens, has been playing him purty sharp tricks of late. For the last couple of weeks Hen has been selling eggs at 20 cts. per dog. in order to meet egg com petishion at Hardscrabble, where eggs is also being retailed at 20 cts. per dog. We'll, one day last week Obe he went into Hens store and bought seven dog. of eggs offen Hen, which was all he had, at 20 cts. dozen and paid Hen cash for same. This was good cal of a surprise to Hen. Hen wanted to know of Obe what the thunderashion he was a going to do with so many eggs. Obe he jest laffed and said that his family at home was powerful big egg eaters Obe told Hen that he would take all the eggs he could get at 20 cts. per dog. So Hen he spread word amongst his customers to bring in their eggs, and in a few days more Obe he got IS more dozens of eggs from Hen. paying him cash for same. This made Hen curious, so he begin to investigate, and to his consternashion he found that Obe mad been buying eggs often him at 20 cts. per dog. and selling them at the Co. seat for 30 cts. per dog. This made Hen powerful mad and next time he seen Obe he told him hereafter llC WOuAQ nat lO pay OU ClS. per QOH. IOT eggs, but as for his other customers they would only haft to pay 20 cts. Obe said alright and went away.
 But Hen continued to find a market for his eggs. He noticed that there was more of a demand for eggs among his customers than he had ever knowed, but he didn't think nothing strange until Lank Peterson come to Hen and informed him privately that Obe had been employ inc kr I,,,., him at 20 cts. per doz who then turned them over to Obe at 21 cts per dog and that obe had still been carting Hens eggs to the Co. seat, where ne was still getting 30 cts. per dog. for same and was become rich at 1t.
 Hen asked Lank how he knowed about this and Lank said he knowed because he had been employed by Obe to buy eggs hisself. but because there was two eggs in a dozen he bought from Hen that wasn't good Obe said he would haft to deduct for them which he had done, and this made Lank mad and so he went and told Hen all about it.
 When Hen found this out he was mad der than ever and put up a notice in his store reading as follers, No Eggs Wanted By Me-
 But Obe wasn't discouraged. He is now buying his eggs at Hardscrabble where they are selling for 20 cts. per dog and hauling them from there to the Co., seat where he still continues to get 30 cts. per dog. Obe says it's farther to take them from Hardscrabble than it is from Bingville but in spite of that he is making money in the egg business hand over fist.
 As for Hen he is considering the ad- visibility of getting out a injunckshion to restrain Obe from handling eggs, but Anne Hillyer, our loryer & legal light also Seth Dewberry, our town constable. both says that in their opinion Obe is acting within his rights and that Hen can't prevent him from dealing in eggs if he so desires.

Personally we have been thinking con- siderable of running for the Legislature at the next eleckshion. All we need is little gentle urging on the part of our friends and we'll do it, by thunder! | Heretofore we have never asked for any political office from the people. We thought that perhaps if we waited long enough some political offios would come our way, but we have wa4ted in vain. While as editor x prop. of the Bingville Bugle we have never asked for office, we have nevertheless cherished political ambishions in secret. During one or two political campaigns when presiden- tial timber seemed to be scarcer than hens teeth we have thought seriously of jumping into the breech and helping our country out of the dilemma, but it always happened that before we could get our mind made up to make the jump candidate had turned up and our ser vices wasn't needed But we have about give up being President and have made up our mind that we would be satisfied with being a Congressman from this dis trict. This job would net us more than we can make out of the Bugle and would give Us a chance to help mould the laws of our glorious Commosi- wealth
 In the capacity of editor & prop. of the Bugle we have moulded publick. .opiuion in Bingville and surrounding county for many years, and Have chEouicled the births, deaths and marriages of our sub scribers, and have set up column after column of free notices for church fairs, ct ceterry, and have printed folks names in the Bugle when there wasn't any legitimate excuse for so doing, and have otherwise endeared ourself to the popu- lace.
 But as we have said up to this time we have never demanded any recogni- ton in return for our efforts, thinking that if we would be willing to wait a little longer perhaps the office would be thrust upon us We have waited and waited, however, until we have begin to git old and stiff and bald in spots, but the office has not sought us any Hope may burn eternal in the human breast, but our time is too precious to wait that long We have had a theory that the office seeks the man, but we have changed our mind in this respect as we now believe that the man has got to seek the office and seek it hard
 If we could go to the Legislature for a term or two we calkilate we could keep the Bugle on her feet for a spell longer by means of the emoluments which we would get from the office If you think we are entitled to your sui ferage give it to us. We shall use the columns of the Bugle to boom our can didacy and also to puncture the boom of our opponent
 Think this over in the sanctity of your closet before you make tip your mind who you are going to vote for.

Hank DeWberry on Fire

Hank Dewberry met with a peculiar episode one day last week. Hank was in Hen Weathersbys store at the time. He had been smoking his pipe when Lafe Andrews asked Hank to step outen the store minute being as he wanted to speak to him on a private matter. so Hank he got up and went out and put his pipe into his pocket without knocking the fire outen it. As Hank and Lafe talked together Lafe says: whats that l smell burnin?" Hank said he didn't smell nothing being as he had a bad cold. Presently Hank hap pened to glance down and seen smoke coming out of his pocket. My gosh I'm on fire" hollered Hank, jumping up and down with excitement. With great presence of mind Lafe grabbed Hank and drug him to the town pump and pumped a dipperful of water and poured 1t into Hanks pocket extinguishing the fire, but not until the whole pocket lining had been burnt out and Hanks pipe charred to a crisp as you might say.
