WOMAN ABOUT TOWN
What She Hears and Sees

the hand OF the Lord directs everything
in the universe. Even the wind blows
where il is listed"
One Of the things she had been telling
was about a nephew Of hers who has
been learning what a soldiers life Is
at a militia camp somewhere in New
York. His name. I gathered, is George;
and it seemed TO her providential that
he should have been away from home
at that particular time, because the plas-
tering fell in his room, and If he'd been
at home and in bed at four o'clock in
the afternoon he'd certainly have been
injured. As IT was, life in camp wasn't
without some dangers.
His mother worried a lot because the
weather was so bad. and George takes
cold so easily" said his aunt. He wrote
that he'd been out on guard duty all
night in the rain, but of course, his
rubber pontoon kept him from getting
wet.1

We wrote a editorial some time ago
about the advisability as to whether or
nor the folks Of BingviIle and surround
ing adjacent terrottory to the town
should or not keep summer boardcrs
this summer and we believed we voiced
the sentiments of our intelligent populace
when we said that they should not We
pointed out the fact that in return for
the money which summer boarders
brings into Our midst they are a nui-
sance and expect more in return for the
s. or s. they spend for bed & board
per week than the So or 81 amounts to.
But in spite Of the pertinent editorial
which we have Wrote on this subjeckt
we observe that Cy Hoskins who IS one
Of our most respeckted and at the same
time one Of our most gripping and grasp
ing and stingv citizens has took five
summer bOarders from the City for a
period of two weeks who are now in
our midst and have almost became a
menace to the neighborhood. They con-
sist Of a whole entire family consisting
of the father and mother. a son who is
about Is years old a daughter who is
about 10 years old and a dog the like Of
which we never before saw in this re-
gion. The dog looks more ike a floor
mop than anything we can think of. This
family has row been at Cy's a week and
in that time they have made themselves
so obnoxious 70 our citizens that there
is considerable feeling against them.
The father is the most decent Gti-
zen of the LOT. He ningles freely with
our townsmen and conyerses with them
about crops, ct cettery. but as for the
rest OF them including the dog, they are
a failure and don't seem to mix very
well with Bingvillc folks. The son for
instance is a over-dressed Young man
