The Leading Paper of the County

It ain't scaircely more than q week hence or whereabouts until the next President of the United States will be elected to the greatest of flee within the gift of the American people, and he will be elected rain or shine, and in spite of anything else that may turn up between now and then.
 We are not going to perdict in the Bugle who is going to be the next President, and if the facts was 'knowd, we don't care very much who is agoing to be the next Presi- dent, being as we sometimes ago offered the editorial influence of the Bugle to both the democratic and republican county campagne com mittees for whatever our influence was worth, thinking that we would bid up one against the other and support the candidate who was will ling to pay us the most to do so, but being as neither party seemed to care a hang whether we sup ported them or not, we made Up our mind to let them run their gosh blamed elecshion to suit theirselves, and so we have not supported either Bryan or Taft. That's why we don't care very much who is elected, and if anybody hears us hollering and cheering after the elecshion for the successful candidate, will they kind ly kick us where it will do us the most good? The reason we are not agoing to perdict who will be the next President is because four years ago we perdicted that Parker would be elected, and was so confident of it that we bet $2 he would with Cy Hoskins, and as a result we lost the $2 not to say nothing about Cy twitting us about 1t ever sinct.
 So far as Bingville is concerned, it don't seem to make no difference who is elected for the next Presi- dent. Bingville seems to run along pretty much the same year after year no matter who is in the Presi- denshial chair. Bingville don't have much communication with the out side world, and so far as Presidents is concerned. this town has found it can manage to chisel along just as well without em as with en.
 If you desire to know who is elected President this year, sub scribe for the Bugle. We expect to publish the name of the successful candidate as soon after the election as we find out who he is-last Presidenshial year it was three weeks after the election before we managed to git hold of old copy

STUCK! That's What Lem Brown Was and hs ThOt Ills Last Hour Had Came Hank DsWbsTry COms tO Lsm's Rescue & Now They're Both Mad at
 Each 0thsT

Lem Brown, our expert carpenter, had a singular occurrence to happen to him last Tuesday, which makes Lem mad every time he thinks about it, and it plaques him so to have it menshioned to him that if folks don't stop doing this, Lem is liable to become vilent and hurt somebody.
 Monday night, Lem walked down to Snake Bend to see Hodge Parker about buying a pig, and it was after 10 p. m. when Lem arrived back home. As Lem passed through the front yard gate, his dog Caesar, who is a hound and was on the front piazza begin to bark at tur- rible rate at Lem. Lem he spoke to the dog but it was dark, or for some other reason the dog didn't seem to reconize him. but kept right on barking and growing. Lem he walked up onto the piazza and the dog jumped and grabbed him by the calf of the leg, and they both fell down and got all snarled up before the dog seemed to understand who Lem was. Then the dog let loose and Lem jumped to his feet and kicked the dog with all his might, but instead of kickin the dog, he kicked his other leg out from under him and set down on the piazza so hard that he purity near busted through the floor.
 Lem went up to bed and said to his- self he'd pay that dog back unless he died before morning, and next morn ing before breakfast, without saying anything to his wife who was asleep and didn't know anything about the occurrence, Lem softly opened the front door and when he saw the hound laying on the piazza, he made for him The dog run like blazes toward the barn with Lem after him, and when the dog arrived there he run under the barn. Lem he made up his mind he'd ketch him no matter where he went, SO he gets down on his hands and knees and crawls under the barn after the dog. When Caesar seen Lem coming, he crawled way back as far as he could get and Lem crawled after him. When Lem got within about six feet of the dog, he had to crawl under a sill. and when he got half way under, to his great consternashion and surprise, he found he couldn't neither get through nor back, and there he was, wedged in tighter than a rusty old screw, flat on his stummick, with his face in the dirt and not able to crawl ahead or back out.
 Lem he cussed the dog which was al- most within reach of him for a while, calling him all the names he could lay his tongue to. then when he thought about that sill which held him down flat to the ground. and considered that the barn which had stood for To, these many years, might settle at any mint and smash him flatter than a pancake, he begin to git skeered and left of cussin the dog and went to prayin. He said he even sung a old hymn which he happened to remember, and that when he done so the dog begin to howl.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-10-18

After these devoshional exercises was over, Lem he hollered for help as loud as he could holler. but who could hear him way back there in under the barn with his face all smuthered up in dirt-- nobody. Mrs. Brown didn't even know where Lem was and waited breakfast on him more than a hour. Then she went out to the barn, and as good tuck would have 1t, she heared a faint. far away hollef for "Helpp and presently she located Lem under the barn. He told her if she ever wanted to see him alive again to for goodness sake get help immejit.
 Mrs. Brown run for Hank DewbeFry, Lem's nearest neighbor, and Hank he got down on his knees and eEawied in until he got hold of Lem's feet around the ankles. Then he braeed his own feet against the sill and pulled with all his might. Lem hollered to Hank for the love of hevven to stop pulling or he'd pull him in two, and Hank told him he might as we'll be pulled in two as lay there and die of starvashion. So Lem told him to go ahead then and pull which Hank done, and by brute strength managed to pull Lem out, but the skin was all tux offen Lem's shoul- der blades in being pulled out. and this made him SO mad at Hank, that he thretened to sue him for assault and battery. Then Hank got mad and said he was sorry that he had saved his worthless life for him.
 As for the dog, 1t has run of and ain't been seen sinct, and probably neV- CT will be.

Bud he took the trap unbeknownst to Wes who he had often saw set traps, SO Bud lugged it home and set it hisself, then he stuck his hand in 1t to see what would happen. and when the trap snapped shut on his fingers he hollered and yelled so as he could be heard all over Bingville, and his mother ran out and took the trap offen his hand and bandaged up his fingers which was sweld black and blue.
