/ We desire this week TO call at
itenShion to the outside world to
Bingville as a desirable locashion
Tor NOTWITHSTANDING industries to
locate in. 1t IS really the business
/ OF the Bingville Board of Trade to
do this, but they have become so
careless concerning the best inter
estS OF Bingville that they don't
seem TO care a hang whether Bing-
vile ever grows and progresses or
decays and dies that we haft TO
take It on our ourself to do this for
them. What has our B. of T. ever
did to bring NOTWITHSTANDING in
dustries to Bingville?: The answer
TO this questshion is-Nothing.
We stopped Cy Hoskins, presi-
dent OF our Board of Trade. on
the street tother day, and asked
him if the B. OF T. had held anv
meetings lately. Cy scratched his
| head and said he'd be jiggered if
he hadn't teetotally forgot that he
ever belonged to any Board of
Trade, being as they hadn't held a
meeting for nearly eight or nine
months, if his memory served him
right. When the duly -eleckted Of
.hcers Of our Board of Trade ne
'glect their duties in this manner it
becomes our duty as editor 8 prop.
.of the Bugle to do their work for
them. That's why we hereby give
Bingville a industrial boost in this
issue.
To start with, Bingville ort to
succeed IN attracting manufack-
shuring industries, being as there
amt any Misunderstanding indus
tries here to speak of at present,
and for that reason any new indus
tries which might locate in cur
midst wouldn't therefore have any
.Competishion to contend with
worth mentshioning. OF course
there's Hiram Butterworth in the
livery stable business and Hen
.Weathersby IN the store business,
and Harve Hines IN the tonsorial
parlor and barbering & ice cream
.cafy business, and Lem Brown re-
seating chairs and doing odd jobs
at caFpentering work, but these is
about all the Misunderstanding
businesses there be in Bingville at
present as you might say, and they
amt scarcely worth mentsf1ioning
and orient to keep other manufack-
shurers away.

other good carpenter to amass

ghost standing there at the end OF the
hall with nightgown on, and the next
minnit there was loud exploshion and
a binding flash, and Hank hcerd some
thing 90 zip past his ear, which broke
light outen the winder.
Il was his wife who had shot at him
with his own rifle and only missed
killing him BY quarter OF a inch Al
mira had heerd HaEk have trouble with
the dog and because the dog had at
taCkt him she thOTt Il must be a bure%
lar, so she snuI outen bed, got the
nile and when Hank crept into the
upper hall she aimed the gun at him
and pulled the trigger.
Soon as she shot, Hank hollered as
loud as he. could holler for her 20 spare
his worthless life. and assured AlnliTa
that he was her own beloved husband
When Alnira found this out she told
Hank that she was most filed with re-
gret because her aim with the rifle
had been 50 poor, and she also told
him what she thought Of him .staving
away after supper tine, and then
sneaking into the house Ike thsef in
the night
Hank says rs gosh-rammed lucky
Alrni.a didn't hit him. and almost mi
rackulus that he IS alive TO day to tell
the tale He also says that any per
son desiring to buy his hound, which
Is hrst-class watch dog, can have
same for the ridiculous sum of 8, and
II a perspective purchaser thinks this
IS too much he viii give the dog away
for nothing.

DYNAMITE ON TRACK.

the pair hurried back just in time to
snatch the bag off the track as the
night train whistled for the junction.
There were eight sticks in the bag.
They were turned over to the officials
So far as known there has been no
trouble on the road and the officials
we're at loss to understand the mo-

Of Cotton Mills in Near
Future Seems Likely.
Proposition Favored in New
England and Southern States.
Manufacturers May Slow Up Until
The Profit Is Greater.

Boston, oct 1O-A gigantic move
ment, horn of unrest of long standing,
IS in progress throughout the leading
cotton textile districts of the world
looking towards a general curtailmenr
of production during the remaining
months of this year and 1910.
The principal reasons advanced for
the attitude are the gradual incrcas,.
in the cost Of raw material in the
Southern states and Egypt, and the
failure of the dry goods markets to re-
spond in way which would assure
continued profit to manufacturers dur
ing the next II months.
The curtailment movement had its
inception in Lancashire, the greatest
cotton goods-prOducing district i'll the
world. There the yarn spinners have
been running their mills on short time
two months. and recently many other
English mil. owners voted to shut
down two days each week until Nov. 3.
September Is the Arkwright Club of
Boston, representing 100000 out of
the 17000.000 spindles in New England,
sent out to all the cotton mills in this
district, which is second in the indus
try to Lancashire, forms of an agree
ment for signatures for a curtailment

in securing the signatures representing
