No Births in Bingville
Washington Heraldl

Once more We feel tour sollum duty
10 call the attenshion OF the fathers ~
mothers Of Bingville TO the fact that
there ain I been a birth in our midst
FOR over three weeks Whose fault II
this awful state OF affairs?
We answer that it is your own fault
and you must abide by the conse-
quences. While there amt been no
births in Bingville for three weeks
there has been two babies horned IN
Hardscrabble, whose sex we did not
learn. Shall it be said 10 the ever
lasting shame and cousternashun Of
Bingville that the pusianimous town
Of Hardscrabble is going 10 beat us
on births? How can Bingville ever
hope to rank with the metropulusses
Of this country until she gets popu-
lation that will dun near crowd her
often the earth
What makes populashions we ask ?
Why births, Of course. As soon A. the
births ceases then the populashion be-
gins to run down immejit We must
not be selfish and say to ourselfs: SO,
well, what do care about the popu-
fashion Of Bingville after | am dead
and gone supposing / don't have no
children 10 leave after me 80 What II
our forefathers had oftalked like that?
Where would we all Of US be today ?
Every citizen and citizeneSs Of Bing-
willie ought to have enough pride IN
the future welfare Of this town TO
want to see it prosper.
1t pains US turribe to have to keep
Fostering away at the husbands aud
wives Of Bingville on this question.
But we feel IL is our duty 10 do so and
we will do our duty il it takes hide
and hair of. Why don't we have
more twins in our midst like Mr. and
Mrs. Ranse Hillyer, who have had
two pairs? A little over month
ago Mrs. Hillyer presented Ranse
with the second set, which makes IL
children In all which has come along
at odd times now and then.
Let us not have it said Of Us that we
haft to take a back seat when il comes
to raising children, but let US spunk
up and do our duty and save Bingville
from race suicide which If at present Il
staring her in the face and thus popu-
late our enterprising city until 1t shall
be said OF us that we be too full for ut
terance We hope we won't haft to
speak on this subjeckt again. Sub

Mr.. Barr may be the best man Tor
having in charge the affairs Of the
Jamestown Exposition, but when he
favors Sunday opening he is making

Virginia sentiment on the subject.

soil of state in which sunday base
