SIGNS AND BILL BOARDS.

Some communities seem to be wor
rying the poor bill poster and sign
board man lately, till life has almost
become a burden to him. Saturday a
Cairo bill poster Went to Mound City
to post some bills for the Du Barry
show. He was met at the depot by a
minion of the law and told he couldn't
do any business there without a
Ecense He had no license and hav-
ing deposited all his money In the
bank the day before. he had not the
1xoin to buy license. He was in a
bad fix till a friend who was willing
to take a chance on him loaned him
$I.50 which enabled him to get the
license. and then he plastered the
town over with his big bills.
Up In Paducah, where they have
been dragging about the neatness of
their streets. they had rule in effect
for some years that only electric
signs should be erected over the side
walks An exception was made In
fevor of those for the very good rea-
son that they were generally orna-
mental and aided In Illuminating the
streets at night. The effect was ar
fistic and pleasing in variety of
ways: but two citizens who had no
taste for artistic and pleasing effects
denied the right of the authorities TO
make such a rule, deliberately VIC
lated 1t and were sustained by the
court. Now Paducah citizens will do
what they please about putting up
signs. until the city council shall take
t11r matter up and make new reggla-
lions which will stNRd In court.

EbECKSHION DAY
 LAST TUESDAY
Big Attendance and Some Ex- cllemsnt- t--Cy Hosklns Re-
 EIeCktGd by Reduced Vote

Last Tuesday was one of the few days in the yeer when Bingville's whole en- tire populashion turns out en masse, as YOU might say, the occashion being the annual spring eleckshion. The weather was fine and there was a large vote polled-the largest for several years. The ballots was cast in the Town Hall. and several settees was removed to give plenty of room for the voters to step up and cast their ballots. Them who lives outside the town. but still in the boirouEh, either come into town to vote on horse back or in various vehickcles or walked. Hen weathersby. prop. of, our general store, sold out all his cheese before 1 o'clock and only had erbout lbs. of crackers left when he closed up Tuesday night.
 votin begin early Hod Slocomb was the first man to cast a vote into the box and afterwards shuk hands with every buddy as they passed erlong to git their ballots. Hod was candidate for mem her of the Board of Trade and he voted for hisself He dropt in his vote at ad- zactly minutes after A. M. by his own watch.
 Every thing went off right peaceable considerin. Bale Hawkins who Is Re publican and Brent Williams who is a Democrat, got to arguing outside the Town Hall. after they voted, erbout wich party had did more lords sending free seeds from Washington to farmers than the other. After they had talked while s-Itr rlIn hVa and bve Brent called Bale liar. As mat ter of fackt Bale will lie if he's put to 1t, but he didn't like to have it throwd up to him before a whole crowd so he waded in and hit Brent crack in the eye which begin to swell up as big as a hens egg immedjit Brent dubbed up his fist and waited for Bale to try 1t on again wich Bale did. but mist, and before he knowed it Brent drew of and ] hit him a belt on the nose. and the way Bales nose bled was orfull. At that in- stant Seth Dewberry. our heroick town constable. arrove on the scene and told Brent and Bale he would arrest them both for Arnachism and hurtin each other under false pretense unless they kept ouiet They both cooled down some then and Bale went to the spring back of the Town Hall and warshed the blood offen his face. 1 Ike Dooiittle voted several times be- fore Deacon Andrews. who is neer sight
 ed and was judge of the eleckshion. mo- 1 tised whot Ike was doing when erlong in the afternoon he caught Ike at it and refused to allow him to vote enny more until next yeer. This made Ike purity
 mad and he thretened to make it hot for the Deacon for tryin to interfere with
 the sacred rights of American citizen
 to vote as he pleased. The Deacon rig
 I'D fin his chair and told Ike to git outen
 the Hall less he'd plant his foot in his

Seth Dewberry was eleckted constable, and Hen Peters was defeeted as ushuai for the same ofise. Hen accused Seth of intirnidatin persons to vote for him and sed he would be constable next yeer if 1t cost him g and half to land the fob. cy Ioskins. Fod slocomb and Lafe whittaere was eleckted for the Board of Health and the Board of Trade.
 The three selectnnen elechted consisted of Hen weathersby. prop. of our general store, Deacon Andrews and Bill Yates. We was not surprised to see Hen ana the Deacon eleelxted. but we confess that BiIi Yates. who is almost as bad as Rih Hepburn, being eleckted amazed us good cal. Everybuddy knows that Bill Yates gets drunk every time he goes to the Go. seat and that is erbout every week, and a person would nachurally think he wouldn't be a good man to help administer the towns affairs. We have since ierned. however. that Bill past around segars and hired a team to get some of the voters to the polls and got in by a small majority.
 Anne Hiliyer was also eleckted J. oi the P.
 So far as we are personally concerned we are well satisfied with the men eleckted to ofise, with the excepshions noted. and the Bugle will support tnem in offise so long as they do whot they ort to do But we give fair warnin tc all of them, that If we ketch them takin part in enny corrupshlon or neg. lectin their. swore duties, we will ligh, up our editorial lamp of publicity and turn same on them without fear or favor Subscribe for the Bugle.

BugIs Editor Almost Arrested

Cy Hoskins worked of a counterfeit s2 bill on us last week with the result that we come mighty neer gettin hauled m before the court at the Co. seat. Cy called to pay us two dollars of sub scripshion and we was so surprised that we didn't take time to look at the bill very close, except to see that it had several 2's on 1t. We know for sure that we got 1t from Cy. however. because it's the only two dollar bill we have got for quite a spell. We sent 1t to the firm we buy the Bugle paper of from and they wrote us a letter saying unless we sent good bill-quick they would have us arrested and bring IT different charges against us besides notifying the U. 5. government that we was using the mails illegally. Natchurally we was skeered some and sent two good dollars right on and told Cy erbout it. Cy sed he wouldn't nav us the two dollars unless he receAved his bill back. As we don't care to have enny more correspondence with the paper firm over the same we calktlate we are out erbout A on acct of Cy paying us somethink on back subscripshion.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-04-19

F Town eleckshion is over (See else where in this issue of the Bugle for full and prolific acct of same) and once more Bingville has settled itself down to its normal state of everyday life, but with two new members in the select mems chairs, Deacon Andrews and Bill Yates.
 That Cy Hoskins would be re-eleck- ted was dog gone conclusion, but we was some whot surprised to see Lige Green run for that high office and poll g votes. wich shows that Cy will half to repair his po1itickal fences and the roads this summer if he expeekts to continue in offise anuther yeer.
 Lige had his brother from the Go. seat here last week, and he showed Lige how to hustle for votes, and Lige sed if he could have had anuther week he would now be mayor.
 We believe that with a. few excep- shions the men .eleckted to offise will fill same with homer and perform their duties to the best of their abilities.
 We have our doubts, however, erbout Slime Wilkins, who was eleckted town clerk. Slime ain't enny smarter than he orf to be and it's awful chore for him to write. When Slime takes a pen in hand to write he screws his mouth up and stick his tongue out until it al most makes a person hurt jest to look al him. How he will keep the city account straight and report the doings of the l selectmen is morep we know.
 It cheers US a grate cal to know that Seth Dewberry was releckted to towr ! constable. Seth has now been town constable for several years and has al ways give satisfackshion. Seth is very caushious in his duties and one of the most peaceble men we ever saw, in fackt when there is enny trouble he ollu: manages to keep out of it.
 | Of the other men eleckted to offise il is needless to say enny thing at this time. They are so well known in ouI midst that further comment on their vir' tues is unnecessary and redicklous.
 In conclushion let us add that Bing vile, under the new administration O the towns foremost citizens, has ; bright future in store, and there is nc reason why this place should not grow and prosper until it would be heard o once in while outside of this county
