Night after night, our most re- speckted citizens of Bingville set around in Hen Weatherby's store and wishd they was rich beyond the fondest dreams of averice. Of course if wishing would make a per son rich, everybody in Bingville would be millionaire-our back subscripshions would all be paid up, and we would boost the price of the Bugle from $2,O0 per annum up to about $10 per annum.
 It don't do no good for people to set around a stove in the winter or in the shade in the summer and wish they was rich, and we shall endeavor to prove by this editorial that if they was rich they wouldn' t be no happier than they be now. Without discriminating ourself. we will admit that money comes in tur- rible convenient at times, and that a person can't pay debts without it, but after all, money ain't the only thing in this world, and them as has more of it than they knows what to do with ain't no better off than them as has none. Take Cy Hos kins, for instants, who is the most wealthiest citizen of Bingville-Cy has money in the Bank at the Go. Seat, he owns or 1 farms, and some thinks he must be worth at least several thousand dollars, but look at him! Is Cy happy? An swer, No! In order to accumulate all these riches Cy has had to scrimp and scratch and save and deny hisself almost the bare neces- sities of life-he has had to trod over the poor and the widder and the orfans, he has had to foreclose mortgages, and as result the habit of saving has made him sich tight wad and so doggoned stingy that he's just perfecktly miserable all the Itime, for fear some person will gel one cents worth the best of him ir a business deal.
 Then take Hank Dewberry, fol linstants-Hank ain't got one rec lcent to rub against another mor'r half the time. He has to wear other peoples shoes and clothes which i' lgive to him and don't fit him, h, Ihas to beg the tobacker he smoke: land chews, but is Hank miserable No. He is perfecItly happy anc full of joy all the day long-h, lnever knows what day will bring forth and he don't care-he don'
 know where his next meals coming ! from, but it don't worry him mite

MOVING BIG TREES.
An Expensive Undertaking, Sometimes
Requiring q Year.


Requiring n Year.
Trees OF very great size can be moved
successfully II time and money are. OF
no account. but 1t Is an expensive process
and should be attempted only where
immediate effect is wanted, or in the case
OF a rare variety that requires to be re-
moved and cannot be replaced.
To prepare a large tree for removal.
says Horticulture. a deep trench should
be dug around the tree from FIVE to
seven feet from the base of the tree and
working under 30 as to out on all the roots
possible without disturbing the bole.
The ends Of the roots should all be cut
smooth and the trench flied up with a
good compost OF peat. rotten sods and
manure and left for year, when a.
second trench can be opened at the out
side OF the first and the tree care
fully undermined with pick 80 as to
remove the soil with as little injury to
the young fibres as possible. and the tree
carefully drawn over so as to out what
ever taproot may have been left.
II q supply OF bass mats is at hand they
can be carefully bound around the ball of
earth, and II It is not too large II can be
loaded on drag and drewn to the place
of planting where the hole has been pre-
pared beforehand. i
II too large for drag the ball Of earth
may be surrounded by boards or layers
of hay and straw firmly bound with cords,
a few boards passing underneath. and
the whole fastened to the stem, which
should be well wrapped with. hay or
woollen material before any force for
lifting is applied. 1t can then be raised
with the use of derrick onto q truck
and taken to the desired place, lowered
in the hole the binding taken of, the roots
carefully spread and the soil well worked
in among them and well flrned. i
Large trees can also be transplanted
by digging around them in winter and al
lowing the earth around them to be frozen
solid. having the ground prepared pre-,
and covered with coarse material
to keep out the frost, and removing them
