OF the scholars which had been teached

We also praised up JED for his tireless-
ness and patience and his ability to lamn
his pupils when they got onruly and with
that we set down.
Jed then got up with HIS voice full OF
emotion. He told how he appreciated US
all being present to see his feeble eforts
to teach the young and that he had did
his best. accordin to his lights. Every
body was touched by Jed's speech Az
ter he had set down, almost overcome
by his feelings, Cy Hoskins riz 10 his

his coat and unwrapt it and held up To
the gaze Of all 6 beautiful red plush

Now that the roads around and
through Bingville and visinnity has be-
gin TO get good again, we desire to call
attention of our Board of Health to the
danger of them vihickels l1nowd as OF
tomobeels from the city passing through
our midst Last summer there was two
of these macheenes past through our
midst and last Sunday there was an
other one done the same, making three
wich have went through our midst al
most inside of year.
! We don't think we would like the
| looks of these ottomobeels even if we
could get a chanst to git a good look
at one oncet-they 60 so fast that
person don't get no more than a glimpst
of one until it has went past and out
of sight We don't know whot pulls
them or whot pushes them-all we know
is that they go like creased lightenin
and if person don't get out of their
road he is liable 10 git injured. Wich
is why we call the attention of the
Board of Health to the matter.
In speaking of the menace to the lifes
of our citizens from these vihickels to
Dave White, Our popular undertaken,
we was surprised to hear Dave say
that he thought ottomobeels was a good
thing and he wisht more of them would
pass through our midst We didn't
know whot made Dave talk like this
until we happened to think of him be-
ing In the undertaken business and hay-
ing nothing much to do in his line for
long spell back Then we under
stood. Dave ought to be ashamed of
hisself to consider his selfish ends be-
fore the lifes and legs of our most re-
speckted citizens.
Ottomobeels may be alright for a
city where people are plenty and where
la few whot has been run over and kid
amt mist very much, but here in Bing-
vile we can't afford to lose none of our
inhabitants-we aint got any more than
we want as it is, being as the baby crop
has almost been failure the past year
IN spite of all our prcachin in the Bugle
of the horrors of race suicide.
Let US all unite together in keeping
these ottomobeels from out of our midst
They don't do us any good and whots
more they are liable TO do us harm.
Then II will be too late If the Board
of Health refuses to take up this mat
ter and do something then let us form
anty-ottomobeel league and see if
some steps can't be took to rid our fair
town Of this terrible plague witch Fate
has visited upon us.
When that one went through Bing-
vile last Sunday Deacon Butterworth
who was crossing the road in front of
the P O. like TO have got his everlastin.
Some person in the ottomobeeI blowed
horn or something and the Deacon
jumpt about seven feet in the air and
when he lit the ottomobcel had went
past under him A little more and we
could be writing up the Deaconis obit-
uary instead of this advice to our Board
of Health. For goodness sake, Board
of Health, do something about this.

STOCKS RELAPSEO

New York, March l3--The stock
market lapsed back into dullness to.

accompanied by an uncertain and, at
times. feverish price movement The
effect was TO confuse the speculative
sentiment to large extent. Stocks
which have been strong recently We're
fed out in sales While other new
strong stocks We're advancing, thus
giving an appearance of a realizing
market
The character of support on de.
clines carried the impression of con
tinued guardianship of the market b.
operators equipped with powerful re-
sources. Loaning rates for borrowed
stocks reflected an important reduc
ton of short interest, premiums hay
ing disappeared. Prices rose rapidly
In the last half hour to a strong clos
ing. Union Pacific was actively dealt
in during the early period of the weak
ness in the market and the intended
action of few stock holders to de
mand an accounting OF directors OF
purchases of Illinois Central and 9th
er stocks from individual directors
was connected with the movement,
Estimates of the weeks currency
movement was of favorable effect
owing to the large extent to which re
