Seth Dswbsriy, our Ilon-heartsd town
cunstuhbls comes upon svlI-dosrs
at dead Of night and then falls 10
do his duty-a dIsgTass to Bing-
Vile.

A disgrzcefuf scene occurd in our
midst last Thursday night about mid
night which will allus remain as a dark
splotch on the fair name of Bingville
and we reckon when the pusilanimous
town of Hardscfabble hears about it
they viii rejoice with great cheer becuz
the morals of Bingville has fell so low
as to permit SIGH disgraseful goings-on
amongst u.s.
Thursday ev'g Seth Dewberry our lion
harted constubbie driv down to Snake
Bend settlement to look at a couple OF
pigs which he heerd Alonzo Peppers
had for sale. When Seth left Bingville
it was nearly dusk and when he arrove
at Snake Bend 1t was considerable later
Alonzo lit lantern and TUX Seth out
to the pigpen and stirred up the pigs
which had went to sleep so as Seth
could get look at EN- and then Seth
he askt Alonzo what he would take
for the two of them. Alonzo said he
calkilated they both was worth about
Sill, undelivered, but Seth he said he
thort that fgger was leetle mite too
steep, but he would give S.. for them
and not another red cent Alonzo said
he wouldn't take S. but he would take
$40. then Seth said he wouldn't never
give no $40, but would give 50, and
then Alonzo said he would split the diff
ference and take $o75 Seth he said he
would give $3.50 but no more, so help
him. and there they hung. Neither man
wouldn't bulge inch from these fggers
and so about II p. m. Seth give up all
hope of buying the pigs and started
home in disgust.
Seth said if him and Alonzo hadn't
haggled and bargained and bartered so
long he might of got started home by 9
p. m. Well Seth he poked along lords
Bingville and come to the edge of the
town about midnight. AS he was drivin
along in the dust without making little
if any noise Seth was considerable sur
prised to see a light in Mel SINNERS
constable. Seth stopped his horse and
rubbed his eyes and looked twict before
he would believe that his eyes didn't de-
ceive him, but there sure enuff was a
light coming through the winder on the
side of the constable.
Seth he listened and presently he
heard voices coming from the inside OF
the stable and this puzzled him more
than ever. Seth he wondered who the
thunderashion could have a light lit in
Mel SINNERS cow stable at that time Of
night so he got out of his blackboard
and hitched his horse to the fence aud
in the capacity of the high constubbie
of Bingville snuk softly lords the stable
to investigate When Seth got to the
stable he found the doors fastened on
the inside and he went clean around the
stable, but couldn't find peek-hole any
where's.
Then it occurd to Seth if he could
git up high enough to look into the
winder he would see what was going
OH so he found a board and propped
it up against the side of the stable I'M
der the winder and elm up on the
board and jest as he nearly could
reach the edge of the winder the board
slipt and Seth fell and might of broke
his fool neck He made some little
noise in falling and the voices inside
hushed up ard Seth laid there in the
grass beside the stable wondering if hs
had broke any bones or merely injured
hisself internally. Presently Seth h
heerd the stable doors open and he nj
UP and rusht around and stepped in
side The sight that met his gaze sur
prised him considerable. There in thu
