 Bale Hawkins had a awful toothache one day last week which even kept him
 awake nights Bale sent for Doc Liver moro who said the tooth ought to come
 out Doc said for Bale to excuse him a minnit and went acrost the street ana re-
 turned with a pair of Bill Hepburn's blacksmith tongs which he had borrowed for the occasion. When Bale seen Doc coming at him with them tongs he helt up his hands and told Doc that he had desided not to have the tooth puld even though it ached as long as 1t remained in his head.
 Widow Hnckley counted up her fruit which she had left over from last winter the other day and finds the following: II ats preserves: ats. blackberries: ats. cherries; 5 qts. pears and Qts peaches. The widow is so tight with her fruit which she puts up that she usually keeps it until it spoils on her.
 HI Henderson of Calamity Corners dropped into the Bugle office one day last week and asked us if we would take old clothes in exchg. for subscripshion which we told him we wouldn't. We already have more old clothes than we can wear

Every body started to run and a large number was stung in the retreat Bud didn't have enough sense to run and now his face is all sweld up so AS person wouldn't know him from side of soie- leather. Mrs Ranse Smiley was stung once on the ear and twice between the P. o. and her residence. Two bees got tangled up in Deacon Andrews whiskers and stung him several times on the chin before he could extricate same. Rev. SamI Moore our beloved pastor got stung on the back of the hand. Rev. Moore said whom the Lord loveth. he chasteneth. BfIl Hepburn, our artistick blacksmith who was also stung twice on the face said he couldn't see what the Lord ever made a bee with a stinger to 1t for. l
 Soon as the bees got over being riled up so they rig up from the red flannel shirt and struck out lords the foot or sawridge Mountaing follored by Eb and several others including Hank Dewberry. All of the rest soon got outen breath ex- cept Hank who follered bravely on keep ing in sight of the bees. Along tords ev'g Hank returned to Bingville sore in the legs but joyful in spirits. Hank said he had follered the bees until they had hived up in a holler tree which he firmly refused to divulge the locashion of.

At last our Board of Trade (which is also the Board of Health) has set out to do something which wifi endear them to posterity, or words to that efeekt. The Board of Trade. after special ses- sion held in the rear end of Hen Wealth ersbys store t'other ev'g., announces that Bingville is to have running water in her midst. The Board of Trade re- gards this as one of the greatest and grandest steps of progress which has ever been took since Bingville was founded and if everything turns out all right they expect to point with pride to the fackt that Bineville has running water while the surrounding towns of Hardscrabble, Snake Bend, Sorrow Hol- low and Calamity Corners remain ill the rut of iunoxuous desewetude. The plan is as follows:
 It is proposed to insert pipe into Snake Creek about quarter of mile above Bingville and carry the water through this pipe right into the Public Square .where immense founting will be erected for the use of watering thirs- ty> horses and humans who may feel in need of cool liquid refreshment from time to time. The Board of Trade also says that any property owners of Bing- vile who desire running water in their private residences may connect up with this pipe, paying the expenses theirselfs. When we asked who would pay the ex- penses of buying and laying this pipe from Snake Crick to the Public Square we was told that our town taxes would be raised sufficiently to defray all ex- penses and that the improvement would all be paid for in year or two.
 This is a beautiful theory and ii sounds we'll when you talk it over, but as Ed and Prop. of the Bugle we feel our responsibility as custodian of the public rights 6, morals of Bingville, as you might say, and we can't editorially or conscienshiously recommend this run ming water scheme in Bingville. When we pause in our mad career to think over the matter it occurs to us that our taxes is already as high as they ought tc be without bringing us down in dis grace and ruinashion. At the present writing we haft to scratch and paw | around considerable from year to yeai to get together sufficient funds to pay ! OUT tdASo WiiNi II tiSy was increased we would probably ask for a receiver and go to the wall with smash And what applies to our case applies tc
 most everybody else in Bingville who ws
 can think of at present.

Bill Almost Had Elm

Bill Hepburn. our artistick blacksmith, almost nearly had a attack of snakes last week, but he is better at this writ ing. Bill purchased 10 gals. of hard ci- der from Pete Rankin, out Snake Bend way and kept his skin full of 1t for sev- en or eight days. Last Sunday Bill be- gin to notice that there was snakes in his bed green spiders in his coffee and 1000 legged worms in his boots. He got out his old muzzle loader shotgun to kill the elephants which he said was in his blacksmith shop. Mrs. Hepburn imme- diately sent for Doc Livermore. who got Bill calmed down and give him medsn to make him sleep. Mrs. Hepburn found Bills supply of hard cider and poured it all out on the ground. which seems like a shameful waste to a person who knows enough to use hard cider with discre- shion. In two days Bill was hisself again, and now he is able to go around without seeing any snakes at all

We believe in nominating
candidates for the coming cleo
ton the citizens of Cottonwood
win do well to choose men who
will pledge themselves, if elect
ed, to leave no stone unturned to
secure water system for this
town during the coming year.
1t has been plainly shown that
the town cannot install a water
system of it's own for years to
come and the only way to secure
one is for the village board and
the citizens to take the matter
up together and make it worth
while for some company to put
in a system at as early a date as
possible-either by paying a
bonus or guaranteeing interest
on the investment until such a
time as, the plant will pay ex-
penses and interest itself. Cot
tOnwoOd is a good town and is
growing rapidly and there is
nothing it needs more than a
water system. In fact it will
give the town a substantial APP
pearance and invite outside cap
ital, while at the same time af-
fording protection to those al
ready engaged in business here.
There may be many small things
needed here but none are so i'm
