As it is now, he's about 6 1t. tall and as slim as fork handle. Lank is so thin you can almost spit through him. which is probably why he was called Lank Skin- ner.

 Seth Dewberry, our lion-hearted con stable, says that he ain't had clews to any criminals for several weeks back. Seth says when cold weather sets in clews is always scaircer than during the summer season, and that as result there ain't much to do in the detective line through the winter.

We take our editorial pen in
 hand to dash off a editorial on whether or not we be agoing tc have a hard winter this winter, While we realize that this editorial will not make the winter any hard CT nor any more of a open winter, it wont do no harm to give the views and predictions of various Bingville citizens on the subject.
 Old Dad Henderson, who is one of the oldest inhabitants, having been borned and raised in Bingville where he has sinct lived for, nigh onto ss years, perdicts that we will have hard winter. This perdiction coming from Dad, however, does not amount to much. About this same time year ago Dad perdic- | ted that we would have a mild open winter, whereas everybody in Bingville knows that last winter was cold enough to freeze the horns offen a muley COW. We calkilate that being as Dad missed it so bad in his perdiction year ago by say ing it would be a mild winter, he thinks he will hit it this time if he says 1t will be a hard winter. If Dad keeps on perdicting he's bound to hit it right some time or other. Dad bases his perdiction of a hard winter on several different signs. He says he never seen the bark stick so close to the tree as 1 it does this fall, that corn in the field is covered with heavier husks, that rabbits have begin to fuzz otit and grow their winter coats sooner than ushual; that the feathers is thicker on chickens than common, and that the goosebone isn't as porous as it would be if it was go- Ii ing to be a mild winter. As Editor of the Bingville Bugle, we calkilate that the only way we will be able to know whether we are agoing to have a hard winter or not, will be to wait until next spring, and then decide about whether this winter is mild or severe and whether ice on Snake Creek is 9 1t. thick or 9 inches thick, whether the snow lays 4 1t. deep or not, and whether the thermometor is 50 degrees above freezing or 50 below.
 Subscribe for the Bugie, it is a awful good thing to while away the long winter ev'gs with.

LOkHI ItHms

The Editors wife is suffering from a severe cold in her head at the present writing, and as a result, she sneezes so much at night that we can't scaireely get any sleep ourself.
 Eph Higgins, our accommodating P. M. desires us to announce that he has received new supply of postal cards which will be found on sale at the P. Q. at the ushual rate of one cent each ; in spite of the fact that prices on most things is advancing at this time of year, Eph says he will continue to sell postal cards at the same old igger. Eph will not sell more than one postal card to a customer, because he says if he did they'd all soon be gone and he'd only have to send for some more so he wants to make them last as long as possible
 Mrs. Martha Tucker, while washing dishes tother evening had nice china plate to slip outen her hands, which fell to the kitchen floor and broke all to smash. Jim Tucker, her husband, says she's been too mean to live with even sinct that happend.
 Jaspar Hawkins took his old muzzle loader shot gun out hunting rabbits on that light skift of snow which was on the ground Thursday morning. Jasp struck what he thought was a rabbit track in the snow back of the barn and tracked it all around the outskirts of Bingville, only to discover that when he ketched up to it, it was Widder Skin ner's old Tom cat .instid of a rabbit, after which Jasp returned home in dis gust.
 Samantha Deevers is on the sick list as ushual. Sinet the cold weather ar rived. Samantha has sort of denned up for the winter and don't expeckt to go outside the house until next May or whereabouts. It must be awful to be invalid like Samantha.
 Hen Cranby received letter from the County Seat last Tuesday and being as Hen can't read nor write, he had Eph Higgins, our accommodating P. M. read the letter to him. It was a dun for a which Hen owed to a County Seat party for the last five years and probably never expedited to pay. When Hen found out what was in the letter he got mad at Eph and told him he had no business readin other peoples mail matter.

Domestic Troubles

Bill Hepburn, our artistic blacksmith, went to give hisself his reglar weekly shave last Sunday only to discover that his wife, Mehitabel, had been using his razor to pare her corns with, and the edge was all nicked up. Bill got tur- rible mad and stormed around and asked Mehitabel If she didn't have any more sense than to use his razor for a corn cutter. Mehitabel grabbed up a broom and hit Bill a whack over the head with same and Bill fled from the house with his face all over iather and took refuge in his blacksmith shop where he remained most of the day until Mehitabel's temper cooled of. Bill Hepburn Is a tirrible strong man physically and sin't afeared of nobody h this world except his wife who makes him stand around jest as she's a mind

No More Wood

Last week we advised that we woulS accept wood in return for back sub
 scripshions, but we didn't think we would get so much wood. Folks have brought us wood beyond our expeck- fashions, and as a result, we calkilats we now have enough wood on the premises to keep us warm for the next two years. For this reason the offer of any more wood in exchange for back subscripshions is hereby with drawed. Don't bring any more wood to us--hring US the money or nothing.

4 BROKEN HART!
Llgs Green Prosecuted For Breach Of PrOmiss By Mss Phoshs HlIdsr- brand, WIth Who Aa Has kap Com pany for 10 Ysars Tumble Scan dal-TTIal Soon.

Lige Green, one of our most respected citizens, who, also enjoys the reputation
 of being the best dressed gent on Sun
 day in Binevilie, and for that reason
 calls hisself the Bow Brummle of thi:
 vicinity, has got hisself in a awful fiS
 and 1t looks as if his reputation would
 be. blarsted forever. Lige he is some
 where's around 40 years old, and foi
 nearly 10 years past he has been court
 ing Miss Phoebe Hilderbrand, our fash
 ionable dressmaker, with who he has kept company regular every Satterday night, without scarcely missing Sat terday night sinct he first begin to keep company with Phoebe until about four
 weeks ago. Then the light which used to be saw in the parlor of Phoebe
 residence every Satterday night was saw there no more and folks begin to wonder if Phoebe had give Lige the mitten.
 This abrupt breaking off of a long continued courtship was a good deal of a surprise to everybody, being as it was the general opinion that Lige and Phoebe. would become united in the holy bonds of wedlock as soon as they felt well enough acquainted with each other.
 Consternashion reigned soopreme in Bingville, when on last Monday morn ing, bright and early, Miss Phoebe called on Amos Hillyer our talented loryer and legal light, and told him that she desired to bring suit against Lige Green for breach of promise and tri- fling with her affeckshions. She told Anne and Anne told everybody else, that her and Lige had been engaged to be married for the past five years, that Lige had promised he would marry her shure, but that she couldn't get him to name the day and he kept putin it off for one thing or another, and that final ly about a month ago he told her that his love had growd cold and that he guessed they had better break their en- gagement and look about for somebody else to marry before they both got too old and past the golden heyday of youth, as you might say.
 Phoebe told Anne that the more she thort about the way Lige had treated her, the more she made up her mind that she would make him swet for it. She said she thort 1t was ridikIus Lige should treat her like that after keeping company with her for 10 years and be- ing SO jealous of her that he wouldn't scaircely let her look at a scare-crow in a corn field, only to cast her aside in the end. Anne advised Phoebe to 20 ahead with her suit against Lige and told her that he would consider hisself retained as her loryer. Nobody who ever went to Amos Hillyer was ever advised not to bring suit against their nabor for anything. Anne would advise his own mother to get 8 divorce from his own father if he thought he could get a loryer's fee outen it. Anne asked Phoebe how much she considered her afeckshions had been damaged, and she said that S5o00 would pay her for what she had suffered. But being as she knowd Lige didn't have any idee that there was as much money as that in all the world, she would be willing 10 take S2s or $50 damassA
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-11-01

As we go to press Lige is full of eonsternashion and surprise over the suit which Phoebe is agoing to bring against him, and Attorney Hillyer has fixed next Wednesday, Nov. II, at 10 o'clock to hear this breach of promise suit in his office. Watch next weeks Bugle for full partiklars.

What to Plant i'm November
Written for this Magazine by
Adelaide Bachman

n S we jog along the highway we see
"a here and there in favored gardens
cllunps of gay chrysanthemuns
and within the gardens that is about all
there is of interest during these early No
vember days. Everything else in the way
of bloom is gone--vanished with the sufn-
mer that now is of the past. What pity
it is that we cannot plant when the fit Of
enthusiasm is on, when the flower we de-
sire is before us in all its beauty and we
feel that we could make endless sacrifices
of time and strength to have such plants
for our very own. With good many
people planting garden is like the ex-
perience the Arkansas Traveller encounter
ed-when they have the inspiration they
haven't the plants and when planting time
comes they haven't the inspiration; and so
it goes. 1t is such a long time to wait
until spring and then, after spring has
come and the garden planted it is such an
other long, long wait before anything
comes of it.. But no, though they may
make the beholder quite green with envy
within him, the Chrysanthemum is not one
of the things to be planted this month.
Unless, indeed, one makes cuttings, as
some people do roses, putting them under
glass jars for protection from the cold
and banking the earth about the base. I
have successfully planted them thus in
eastern New York, but doubt if it could
be done much further north or in the
Middle West, where the severe cold comes
SO much earlier than here.
During the early part of this month
great many bulbs are planted. 1t would
really be much better to plant them car
lier, for once they begin to deteriorate they
go rapidly. However, if for any reason
the bulbs were not planted in October it
may still be done in November and with
is too late for Crocuses and for Lilium
candidum (Which latter should be planted
in Augus) but for Narcissi, Tulips, Snow
drops, Scilas, ETC., and for most of the Ill
les, if the ground is not Frozen it is not
too late If the bulbs have been ordered
but have not yet arrived and one is afraid
of hard freeze place may be prepared
by heaping fresh manure OIL it to keep the
ground from freezing This must, of
course, be removed when the time to plant
has come. for bulbs win not endure any
contact with such heating material. In
planting them, to more nearly insure
against decay, set each bulb in a little
jacket of fine sand, and then, if possible,
cover the earth over them with thick
blanket of leaves which may have been
gathered for the purpose. But there is one
sort OF planting to be done now which
will cost nothing at all, except in time and
troublc-and what gardener counts such
cos f--to many. who have waste places to
brighten up and the means to do II,
though perhaps it has not been brought
to their attention 1t is the planting of
berried shrubs and vines, to make green
and inviting bowers during the summer
and flashes of color in the fall and winter.

to say nothing of attracting the birds.
To be sire, If the birds do come and eat
your berries, the berries will not be there
TO help out the picture; but as rule,
they arc not little pigs and do not eat
everything in sight. But even if they do
and the garden picture is lacking in its
brilliant tones, yet the birds will stay about
and be the greatest attraction in them
selves.
In going about in the country by the
roadsides frequently and in woodlands
nearby are to be seen these beautiful
plants growing wild, and If the seeds are
gathered and planted now there will be
that much more of beauty for another
year. The Bittersweet vine is first in the
ranks and there is nothing anywhere that
can equal it. Nature has planted it with
a. lavish hand and it grows wild and
abundant in many places. 1t makes a
beautiful picture with its brilliant fruits
against the gray stone walls that line the
roadsides hereabouts OF clambering to the
very tip top of some tall and slender red
cedar tree where the splendid color of the
berries shows most wildly against the
sombre green. The. berries hang on pretty
well through the winter, too. which GER
tainly adds to, the satisfaction of having
them in the vicinity. Indeed, its very
name, Celastrus (botanically it is Celas-
trus scandens) comes from Greek word,
kelas, meaning the latter season, referring,
of course, to the fruit in the "latter sea-
son."
The Wahoo, Burning Bush or Staff
Tree, as it is variolisly known, has fruits
OF similar nature, but even more beau-
tiful. 1t does not climb, however, but re-
mains in bush form Its foliage is beau-
tiful in summer and the brilliant fruits
adorn any grounds in fall and winter. Its
botanical name is Euonyimus atropurpu-
reus and if there is any member of the
Euonynus tribe which is not ornamental
do not know it. The Black Alder or
Winter Berry, which some botanists class
as Hex verticiilatus and some as Prinos
yerticil,atus, is another acquisition in the
way of berry-bearing plants for the winter
garden, but truth to tell. the berries do not
remain long where there are birds who
know about them. The same may be said
OF the various Barberries, hut Berberis
Thnnbergia, the Japanese Burberry. at
least has handsome enough foliage
through the summer and fall to insure its
being planted. This last one, of course,
does not grow wild in this country, but
the others mentioned, and many besides,
do grow wild and the seeds are very easy
to get. The Woodbine, or Virginia
Creeper, so universally found wild. has
fine berries, though of not so brilliant a
color as those before mentioned, but they
are great attraction to birds. Another
blue-berried vine is the cat, or green-brier.
It's foliage is very handsome in the SUM-
mer but its thorns prevent its being such
desirable plant as the less projected
ones. But it makes, when we'll established,
tangled and matted thicket where
ground and low-busli nesting birds love to
hide; SO if one wishes TO attract birds
one cannot do better than to gather and
plant 4 few seeds of it.
