TAs Leading Taper Os the COuntyl

This is to be a editorial on sow ing and reaping-a dissertashion on seedtirne and harvest. When a man plants corn, wheat, oats or onions, he don't always reap what he sows, because sometimes there is SO much rain that the seeds are drowned out, or sometimes there is sich a drought that they are burned out, and sometimes the crops grow along all right only to be devoured by pestiverous insects.
 This year, however, in Bingville and surrounding country, condi- tions have perduced the biggest crops which we have had for many years, and as a result, the heart of the horny-handed son of toll is full of mirth and joy. His potatoes are dug and in the cellar, his corn is husked and in the bin, his wheat is threshed and at the mill, and his cofFers is running over with crops IS you might say.
 Being as this has been a more prosperer year than we have had for many years, and that, as re- suit, people hereabouts have $2.oo in their pocket for every 10 cents they had last spring, we calkilate it is a opportune time to ask them of our subscribers who owes us back subscriptions amounting anywhere from $10 to $15 per capitum to kindly call at this office as soon as convenient, and pay us what they owe us, thereby helping a worthy charity and contributing to a week | ly paper which is so weakly that il | is liable to totter and fall into the arms of the sheriff at any minute
 Now that you have money, sub seribers, pay us what you owe us Don't be stingy old tight-wadsI

We told Gid that one reason why he didn't receive hi, Bugie was because 1t had been dis continued, ing to the fact that he ain't paid us a cent on his subscrip- sh;on since he first subscribed II years sgo, Gid got pretty hot when we told him this and told US we could Swet for ovr money. We told Gid we had swet II wears for it, night-swets and day swets. and that now we proposed that he should do some swetting hisself, be- iap as we was going to put the matter in the hands of Amos Hillyer, our lawyer, and send him to jail if neees- sary. Gid kind of cooled of when we said this and hauled out his wallet and paid us half what he owes us like a gentleman, after which he invited our self and wife to eat Sunday dinner with hisself and wife next Sunday, which we shall do with great pleasure.

HANK WAS
 WRONG
Whut No Shot ai for a Buck DssI Proved to Bs Otherwise -ths Secret Lssksd Out Through VIss Woodruff & Hank
 Had to Pay up for Be-
 Ing Mistaken

Hank Dewberry, who Is one of our Iaziest and good-for-nothingest citiSens' but outside of this hasn't 60 very many other faults, had a very dis agreeable experience last Tuesday, which will rankle in Hanks memory as long he has any memory for it to ranide in.
 Tuesday morning, bright and early, Hank Vot up about a. nl., which Ia something onushuai for him, being ss Hank commonly lays abed in the mornings until his folks have half a dav's work done. Hank he made up his mind he was going deer-hunting, so he put a cold snack to eat into his pocket. picked up his trusty old muZzle loader loaded with buckshot, and snuck out of Bingville in the dim gray dawn, bound for the old Parkman place at inc foot of Sawridge Mountain, where they is a old abandoned farm and apple orchard, which Is S. great place for deers 10 come and pick Up the apples which have felled On the ground.
 We'll, Hank got to the orchard a little after daybreak and set down be hind a stone fence where he could command a good view of the apple trees. There Hank set aLd set and set until he got so ali-hred tired settin in one position SO still and quiet, that he feared he would get settlers cramp. Maybe a hour passed by, maybe two hours, when Hank heerd some twigs snap acrosst in the edge of the woods on tother side of the orchard, SO he cooked his gun and poked it aerosst the top of the stone fence and waited in breathless interest to get sight of what he ealkilated would be big buck deer.
 By and by Hank he seen the bushes he thort was the flank of a deer through the leaves, and being as he thort this might be the only chanct he would get, Hank took keerful aim and pulled the trigger.
 lered by the most awful bellering you ever heard, and the next instant a Alderny heifer emerged from the or chard and run acrosst toward Hank switchin her tail and swinging her head and lettin out turrible blood curdling bawls. With great presence of mind Hank then TcallZeu that nc nad shot q cow instead of a deer, SO being as he hadn't shot her fatal and she would recover in time, Hank he calkiiated that the less he said about shootin her to anybody the better, so he there fore snuk away and returned to Bing- vile about 10 a. m, saying he hadn't seen hide nor hair of deer. which i was true.
 You would nachurally wonder how it got out that Hank had shot Lafe Parkman's Alderny heifer, being as Hank would never of told 1t, but there was another witness to the shooting in the person of Yves Woodruff, our expert hunter and trapper. Yves he happened to be laying behind the fence on the other side of the orchard unbe- ! knownst to Hank and seen the whole

Lige Went to Sleep

LiRe Green went to sleep al church service last Sunday morning and snOred so loud that the Rev Sam'I Moore, our beluvved pastor, had to holler at the top of his lungs to make hisself heard. Finally. the Rev. Moore asked Deacon Bradbury if he would kindly speak to Brother Green and request him not to snore SO loud, which the deacon done, and Lige got mad and clapped on his hat and left the church in disgust. Lige says unless he can worship at church according to the dictates of his own conscience, he will be doggoned if he don't take his name offen the church roll.
