Th;s may be true, but l don't like to hev it printed in the Bugle and throweo up to me, as you mite say. Inns amt t,e first time you hev dunned me in pup, lick for my back subsckripshion ana I am getting purity gosh rammed tired oI it to: not only that but it aint ben so very long sinst you ackused me of com, m, ;ng home from the Co. seat with Bill Henburn in a shameful state of intock- sicashion. I don't deni it, but 1t would. ent of ben known all over this end or the county if you hadent of printed 1t in the Bugle.
 You better tend to your own business hereafter unless you desire to hey your pants kicked cleen up your back till they hang on your shoulder blades and will tend to mine. I hey ben subsckrib- CT to the Bingville Bugle ever sinst 1t started and while fate has trifled with me finanshially, as you mite say, and be- kause I have ben overlook with noom- erus reverses, I happen to be back some l4 years on my subsckripshion but that aint no reason why you should rub 1t into me through your collum like you hev did. Who be you to point out my folts to the world; aint you got any folts?
 You aint got no more backbone than a jelly fish.
 The Bugle aint got no polliticks nor prinsipel either---you alters support what ever candidate you can get the most money outen no matter what party he belongs to and l hev knowed the Bugle to change its polliticks twicet in the same day.

 Looly here, Hi, you have went lit- tie mite too fur. We would treat the above charges and insinuashions with silent contempt and skorn as they dis erve if we could do it, but we cant-we cant hold ourself in and let such charg- es as these go unnotised
 In tre first place if you banker after a opportunity to kick our pants until they hang from our sholder blades, we give you corjial invitashion to come a. round to the Bugle orffice any day between a m and 6 p m.

While cleaning up the office last week we discovered several back numbers of the Bugle printed in 1863, which we offer at the ridicklus low price of 5 cents per copy. These old Bugles con- tains some war news of the Rebellion. If you desire the latest news from the front, buy them. First come, first served. Miss Millie Underwood, who is a member of Bingville's fashionable social set, is visiting friends at present in Sor- row Hollow We will endeavor to find out who Millie is visiting by next week. Dave White, our popular and ackomo- dating undertaken, says he never seen SO much good health in Bingville as there is this winter Dave says times in the undertaking business hereabouts aint what they used to be, since the mortality rate has decreased so.
 Lafe Henderson of Zion Cross Roads gave us a pleasant visit last week and | left on our desk Baldwin apples which seem to be just as plump and solid as if they had come ofen the tree. How is this for Bingville apples this late in the season? If Lafe had only of brung a couple more there would of ben enuff to make apple sass out of.

 There was a very slim congregation at church last Sunday morning owin to the deep snow. The audience consisted of Mel Simpson, who always bids a
 fire in the church stove during the
 winter. Rev. Moore, our beloved pastor, dident preech reglar sermon-all he
 done was to set down and have heart to heart talk with Mel.
 Mrs. Martha Tucker sent our wife a
 delishious skwash pie last Saturday | which she baked from some skwash which she canned last fall. This is the
 first time we ever knowed skwash can
 be canned. We personally ct 2-3 of the
 pie at one sitting-it was fine and we
 hope Martha will remember our wife
 when she bakes skwash pie agin.

Sign Your Name

Every now and then somebody sends Us in a communication for the Bugie which they don't sign their name to. and as a result it generally goes into the waste basket unless we are turrible hard up for news. Whenever you write anything for the Bugle always sign your name to it, not insidentally for publica.. ton, but merely as a evidence of good faith and honorable intentions. As edi- tor we can't be too careful to keep its reputashion undefled and unspotted by the world

FEDERAL COURT
GRANTS INJUNCTION
Ruling in Portland Gateway
Case MuIIIfied.

- Chicago, June 9.-The decision Of
the interstate commerce commission
in the Portland gateway case, in
which the Northern Pacific was or
dercd to join with the Union Pacific
and the Chicago and Northwestern
roads in establishing through route
for passengers, has been nullified by
an injunction issued in the federal
circuit court at st. Louis, according to
telegram received at the Chicago
offices of the Hartman lines.
The commission held that the north
ern route, via the Northern Pacific,
in connection with the Burlington or
Great Northern, although as good as
the southern route. via the Harri-
man lines, was not a sufficient "rea-
sonable and satisfactory" through
route because many passengers might
prefer the southern route. This was
the feature of the decision objected to
by the Northern Pacific, which con-
tended that as long as it offered the
public as good service as could be af-
forded by another line it had the
right to control it's rates so as to keep
the long haul for itself.
The injun is regarded as of the
greatest Importance, as the Portland
case was expected to serve as q
precedent which would lead to a num-
Der Of similar proceedings elsewhere.

Mysterious Green.

To those who believe in the influence
Of color the shades of green afford al
interesting study, not only because Of
the large number Of green things
found in nature, but the scale Of greens
is so varied.
Green is, or was, the chosen color Of
Venus or the Scandinavian goddess
Freya and should be worn upon Fri
day, her name day. -
The color has always been consider
ed mysterious in it's influence. AL
green creatures, such as snakes OF
birds, are weird, and people with what
are known as green hazel eyes need
to be carefully considered, and among
clairvoyants green stands for intellec
tual power, just as they speak of the
'blue of peace, rose Of love and scarlet
Of anger"

SUBSCRIPTlON--s5.OO PER ANNUM
"BO0sTING" SHOULD BE- RECIPROCAL,

The Indiana Harbor (Ind.) Sen.
tinel recently contained an article
on "boosting", from a newspaper
standpoint, that, while the general
trend of the matter was somewhat
pointed, was, nevertheless, quite
appropriate in the man, as showing
what reciprocity" stands for be-.
tween a good, live newspaper and
the patrons that the paper should
have.
The Sentinel editor tells how be
has always been booster" of the
thirty-third degree; getting to the
front with every proposition calcu-
lated to benefit his town, and even
boosting" by not knocking" some
propositions that did not look alto
gether the best for his community.
Continuing along this line, the
Sentinel very tritely says:
But when this is done there is no
occasion for the person or institution
boosted to assume that the news
paper has to do it in order to hold
its job with the public, as that is
indeed a mistake.
"A newspaper man sees and hears
more things good or bad about indi-
viduals and about the way institu-
tons are conducted than any other
individual, a gossiping old maid not
excepted, and it is unfair to assume
that is it because he does not know
that he does not print.
1T is because he has a sense of
honor and a sense of feeling, and
last, but not least, a love of peace
and harmony in community.
Many things might be printed
about our town that would make
spicy reading, but why herald such
things abroad? The least said the
better.
The newspaper man, however,
has keen sense of appreciation and
susceptible to fattery of the right
sort and to business support.
He appreciates the spirit of the
man who, when he has few dollars
worth of printing, does not go gala.
wanting around the country spending
car fare and time, thinking he might
get it few cents cheaper but who
says, We've got a printer at home
who is trying to help our town and
and we will in turn help him by
giving him the little printing we
have to do
This is true community spirit,
and it counts with the merchant,
doctor, lawyer and every business
which draws its daily living from a
community. Even Uucle Sam is
not immune from the fundamental
principle of reciprocity"
