OF all the comic papers OF funny pages thai
,ome to our table, the "Bingville Bugle" is the
most interesting, decidedly the best edited. ThC
following ''editorial' is gem.
eve take our editorial pen in hand at this
sitting to write beautiful rhapsody on the
subjeckt of Ottum. Ottum is something which
happens oncet every year about this time, and
it's arrival and departure is something which
we, as editor of the Bugle, nor anyone else,
has no control
1t is at this season of the year that the foil
age around Bingvile and vicinity presents
most excrushiating appearance, being decked
out as we might say, in all the colors OF the
rainbow and then some. Some of the leaves is
yaller and some is red and some is purple ana
and some is brown, while others is OF dltferenu
hues, altogether making galaxy which peg
CARS descripshion, and which even our editor
ial pen cannot do justice to at this time. 1t is
said that poet cannot portray nor painter
write in rhyme On canvas, the many beauties
OF the leaves which ottum causes. BE that as
it NAV. ottum always brings to all of us mel
ancholy feeling, espeshially when the leaves
lose their holt on the trees and fall to the
ground, withered and dead to such a extent
that they become nuisance and haft to be
raked up and burnt After that the trees pre-
sent naked and nude appearance and Will
look rediklus to the observer until next spring.
when they begin to leaf forth again.
Ottum always makes US meancholer than
ushuaI being as we are much depressed be:
cause we have lust went over our books and
find that about three -fourths of our total num-
Der of subscribers owes us anywhere from IS to
$40 each, doggone 'em anyhow! If they would
pay their debts like men and women ort to, we
would feel good deal more happier than we
be at present"

Prospects Bright
For the Southland

Washington, Oct. 2s.-President
Finley, of the Southern Railway
Company, who has just returned
to Washington from an inspection
trip of two weeks over the lines OF
the system, found evidences of i'm
provement in business conditions
and of general disposition on the
part of business men througout the
South to take hopeful view of
the future. Speaking of the infor'
nation he had gathered on his trip,
Mr.. Finley said:
"Prices for pig iron are hrmer,
Southern furnaces, as a rule, nave
sold their product up to the end OF
the year, and the increasing num-
Der of Inquiries for iron warrant
the expectation that orders Will
soon be placed for business during
the coming year.
"Lumber is more active than for
some months past. Especially is
this true of the grades shipped IN
box cars. The present demand will
be augmented by increased require
ments from railways, principally
for car repairs, as some Of the rail-
ways are contracting with car COM
panies for some of their heavier re-
pair work.
Gone of the most encouraging
signs of reviving Industrial actlvl-
tv is the increasing movement OF
steam coal to industrial centers.
The unusually warm weather OF the
present fall is retarding the move
ment of domestic coal.
E'The cotton crop is early, and
the fibre is moving to market in
larger volume than at this time last
year, although, as result of the
stagnation which has prevailed IN
the cotton goods market, prices are
lower than a year ago. The de-
mand for cotton seed products is
good and they are moving freely.
''The domestic market for cotton
goods shows Indication Of gradual
Improvement. Owing to accumu-
lations of large stocks and to other
causes effecting that market, there
is at present little demand in cot
ton goods in northern China. A
side from this, the export demand
is fairly good, and those mills in
terested in the north of China trade
are looking forward hopeful for a
renewal of sales for that market.
"Grain traffic into the South
especially corn-is light. This is
due, in part, the relatively high
price of corn and the low price OF
cotton, and in part to the fact that
at this season of the year the South
is consuming its own grain.
"Merchandise stocks which had
been permitted to run low during
the business depression are being
replenished conseryatiyely, Re
tail trade in the cities is good, but
as a result of the low price of cot
ton and of a disposition on the part
of retailers to buy CAUTIOUSLY fo1
the present, jobbing trade is still
somewhat restricted.
"While some lines OF business
have not yet shown as much in'
provement as might be wished, l be
lieye that conditions generally are
decidedly better than at any time
since the beginning Of the business
depression year ago, and that VIC
have reason to look forward to a
GRADUAL return to a higher level OF
prosperity,

All the preparations for those at
tending the annual sessions of the
Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias and
Grand Court of Calanthe have been
about completed. One or two special
cars containing the delegates from this
city, other points in Middle Tennes-
see, East Tennessee and a few from
West Tennessee, will leave over the
L. & N. Ry. next Monday afternoon.
The opening sessions of the Grand
Lodge and the Grand Court will be
held at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning
and it is expected that Clarksville will
be taxed to It's utmost capacity to ac-
commodate the large number of Wis.
itors present. The greatest interest as
is usual with such bodies is centered
in the election of officers. While it ic
expected that the contest will be a
trifle more heated than usual this
year it is more than probable that the
present administration, with one or
two exceptions, will be retained.
In conversation with representa-
tive of the Globe. one of the most
prominent delegates from a lodge in
this city had the following to say con-
cerning the Grand Lodge: can effort
will be made to defeat Dr. J. P Craw-
ford, the incumbent Grand Chancellor.
with Prof. W H. Hastie, of Knoxville.
Crawford will easily be elected, I
think on his past record.
"The greatest opposition to the ad-
ministration will probably come on
the question as to whether the
member of the Endowment Board
appointed to succeed the late Prof.
W. L. Cansler Ct refer to Prof.
A. Thomas Hill, Of Pulaski), will
be ratified by the Grand Lodge
and Prof Hill elected to fill out
the uneXpired term. On the same
grounds opposition will probably de-
velop against Mr.. John Cunningham,
who was appointed Grand Trustee to
fill the position vacated by Prof. Hill.
"a flrebrand in the Grand Lodge, in
all probability will be the Pvthian
News. This paper was established
since the last meeting of the Grand
Lodge and the opposition, expects to
make one grand assault uDon the meth
Cd nursued in establishing It.
Though there are a large number
of candidates in the field for Supreme
Representatives, it is practically set
tied that A. W. Fite, of Nashville. and
B. ]. Farnandis. Of Memphis. will Sc
cure these two places. r. T.. Mavfield
has been announced as a candidate
against 7. Thomas Turner for Grand
Attorney but his chances of election
are very slim. All in all the meeting
at Clarksville promises to he warm
one, but at its close Nashville will be
found controlling about the same Of
fees as heretofore"
