After due deliberashion on the part of the board of managers whose bizness it is to hold a reglar annual Bingville fair each year it has been desided that there wont be no Bingville fair held this year, much to the disgust of most of our most respeckted citizens as well as others from miles around who has been in the habit of attending fairs in the past.
 Our fair board of managers which is composed of Eph Higgins, our ushually accommodating P. M., Hen Weathersby, prop. of our gen. eral store and Amos Hillyer, our talented loryer, legal lite, J. of the F., notary publick and other things too numerous to menshion, has de sided that it will not be advisable to hold a Bingviile fair this year in spite of the fackt that fair has been held in Bingville every fall farther back than the oldest inhab- itant can recolleckt. This is the first time Bingville has went back on holding her annual fair and our board of fair managers ought to be ashamed of theirselfs as everybud- dy else in Bingville is ashamed of them.
 What will the pusilanimous town of Hardscrabble think when they hear over there that there wont be no fair in Bingville this falli As editor of the Bingville Bugle we calkilate the Hardscrabble folks will rejoice over this and gloat and brag and say that Bingville must be agoing to the dogs fast not to be able to hold a fair. We calkilate that the Hardscrabble Banner, which is edited and published by a man who ort by rights to be behint the bars being as he has many a time assailed our charackter in his rag of sheet and once made a spe- shial trip to Bingville to knock the tar outen us for something which appeard in the Bugle which said tar he knocked outen us all right and we had to take to our bed where we was for more than a week as a re- suit (dog-gone editor who can't give and take!)-we say we calkil- ate that the Hardscrabble Banner will come out in big type next week blowing and bragging and making fun of Bingville because we can't hold our fair this year as ushuaI. Our board of fair managers has pull us in a ridicklus light before every buddy not only in Hardscrabble but throughout the whole end of this county.
 The reason our board of fair managers desided not to hold any fair this fall is becuz there ain't not

Accident to Eb Green

Hod Slocum. out South Bend way, called at the Bugle office the other day and told us of singular accident to Eb Green, Joel Hayfords hired man. Hod says he drove out to JoePs place to see him about fixing their line fence and saw Eb just coming out of the barnyard with a yoke of oxes. Hod noticed that the nigh OK seemed to be little lame behind and asked ED if he had locomotive attacksia. Eb didn't know what ailed him and asked Hod's advice. Hod got down behind the OK and squinted at him for a while; then he told Eb that old Stars dew-claws was too long and needed carding.
 Of course our readers knows that Eb ain't any brighter than he ort to be, but Hod says he never calculated that the tarnal fool would take him in earn est. Soon as Hod left, however, Eb got down behind old Star and begin to card him up lively. Star histed and lifted ED about rod on top of stone pile,
 The genial Hod reports crops as be- ing pretty fair down his way. /

Births

Just as we go to press we are happy to announce the birth of child to MT. and Mrs. Bill Hepburn, who is our we'll known blacksmith. The event took place after midnight yesterday morning at the residence of the parents on Main street. Doc Livermore was present and helped.
 Later-We have just learned we were mistaken about baby being borned to MT. and Mrs. Hepburn. It was Sam Witherow who told US for a fact. Sam had been out sparkin Sally Hoslins and passed by Hepburn's about ? a. m. The house was all lit up and Sam saw Doc Livermore come out as he had passed. Sam put two and two together and says to himself, "A baby, b goshl" So he come and woke us up to tell us the news. It now appears, However, that Bill Hepburn was took suddenly sick in the night and Doc Livermore was called to attend him. We wish people would be more accurate in giving us news.

AWFUL EXPLODE! !
Jest as We Go to Press a Awful Catastrufy Happsns!-If II Had of Harpsnd Sooner We Could of Give More About It-Rsad Below for Msager Details

Jest as we was about to go to press who should rush into the Boogle offs except Hank Dewberry with the awful news that here had been a exploshion in his house only few minnits before which like to of blowd the house often its foundashions.
 Last wk Mrs. Dewberry made a trip to the co. seat where she purchased a oil stove for $275 cts, and brung 1t home and this morning Mrs. Dewberry thort she would light up the oil stove to see how it worked and insidentally fry some eggs for her and Hank for breakfast.
 We'll, she lit the oil stove with a match and the pesly thing begin to sput- ter and ignite and carry on somethink dreadful. Mrs. Dewberry hollered for Hank to git right outen bed and see what was the matter with the oil stove. Hank he bounced out and when he got down to the kitchen the oil stove had bust into flames two or three feet high. Hank he hollered at his wife to carry the oil stove outen the house or t would set the house on fire. Mrs. D. she hol- lered back at Hank to carry the oil stove out hisself If he wanted 1t carried out, being as she had no desire to take holt of 1t when it was all a mass of flames like that.
 While Hank and his wife was a argy- in about who should carry out the oil stove the thing went off with a turrible explode which shuk the winders aud busted the oil stove all to smash. Hank he begin to holler fire and rusht upstairs and puld on his pants wrong side front and hurried to the Bugle offs to give Us the news right red hot after it happend. When Hank returned home Mrs. Dew berry had cleaned up the kitchen of the debris and was bilding a fire in the range. She says no more oil stoves for her'n and Hank he says no more oil stoves for his'n, so sinst they seem to agree on this pint we callSilate it will be many a day before another oil stove is saw in the Dewberry household.

only no money in the treashury, but the fair management is ip debt to the tune of nearly $40. Even some of the premiums which was award ed at last years fair for the biggest punkin and the best jar of canned peaches and the incest fancy work ed lambrequin ain't been paid as we go to press. When the last Hard scrabble fair closed and the current expenses had been met there was in the treashury the munihcent sum of $11.56 cts. Now what we ask, if anything, has became of them $11.56 cts? We pause for a reply. The money was in the hands of our l, board of fair managers when the fair closed and now the members oi the board says that they ain't got a red cent of it. What become of it? Far be it from us to ackuse the
 members of our board of fair man. agers of being grafters-far be it from us to say that we believe that they agreed betwixt theirselfs that they would divide them $11.56 cts. amongst them and say no more about it, and yet if they didn't do
 that, then where is that money? It is the duty of the members of the board if they ain't guilty to come out and say SO. It is their duty perviding they ain't went and stole them $11.56 cts. (which most folks thinks they have) to come out bold and tell the citizens of Bingville what has become of the funds. We give Eph Higgins and Hen Wealth ersby until next week to state what has become of this fair money and If they don't account for it we will haft to go into their pasts and show them up as red handed robbers be- fore the entire community. This is our plain duty.

A Curiosity

Eph Higgins, our accommodating postmaster, discovered a genuine curios- ity last week It was postal card which he couldn't read, which came to the office addressed to Cyrus Hoskins. Eph kept the postal card for several days before he give it out to Cyrus, trying to make out what was on the back of it. He showed it to several people but nobuddy could make head nor tail of it. Then Eph give the postal to Cyrus and asked him who it was from Soon as Cy looked at 1t he said it was from a brother of hisn in the West, who is deef and dumb, which is no wonder that Eph couldn't read the postal.

We had real sharp frost last Thurs day night. This is sign of cool weather,
 Jim Hill killed black snake while driving to the Co. seat last week Jim says the snake was as long as his buggy whip. Jim's buggy-whip is only three feet long being as he broke it while breaking in colt last spring two years ago.
 The mush melons of some of our citizens has begun to git ripe but most of them will froze before their ripe. Cy Hoskins left two ripe ones on our desk last week. Thanks, Cy, but it is tur- rible hard to tell how good your mush mellons be from just two samples. The cucumber crop is about petered out and there is considerable sickness in our midst. Doc Livermore is glad. Buck Henderson borrowed 75 cents from us last year to buy a dog with and the dog died and since that Buck has been leetle might slow about pay ing us back. We now offer the acct. for 25 cents. This is a big bargain, but we are satisfied becuz we calkilate if we can get 25 cts. it Is 25 cts. more than the acct. is worth.
 Short Andrews had narrer excape from having his head cut off while chopping wood for Lem Brown last week. The axe flew offen the handle while Shorty was swingin' it in the air and it come so clost to Shorty's head that 1t cut his hat-brim. Shorty has been skeered to pick up an axt sinct.

Local Brevltles

Bill Hepburn paid up years sub scription to the Bugle last week. Bill makes 1t a rule of his life to go to the Co. seat and come home full once every week, but he always tries to pay his honest debts, which is more than we can say for some men in this town who don't drink, even if there's any that don't.
 Harve Hines, our tonsorial artis., cit four peoprs hair last week and had slaves, SO he says. Harv's trade is booming big and he is talking of pur- chasing new razor strop.
 Miss Tabitha Jones while cutting out shirtwaist last week cut her finger very severe with the shears. Tabitha is wearing it tied up now.
 Rev. Moore, the beloved pastor of our church, is agitating the questions of preaching two sermons on Sunday instead of one as heretofore. We think this would be bad policy As it is now the members of his flock don't do as he tells them in one sermon week Besides if he preached Sunday ev'g it would keep the members up when they ought to be in bed.
 Martha Tucker traded out seven lbs of butter to Hen Weathersby, prop. of our general store this week. Martha is one of our most enterprising butter makers
 Hank Dewberry is talking some of buying horse and going into the team ing business. If Hank could always sci on the seat and do nothing but drive while somebody else loaded and un- loaded the wagon the job would suit him first rate. Otherwise we fear he would soon get tired of it.
 What we need is new subscribers & rain at present. We came very near get. ting one of each last week Jed Peters, our intelligent schoo teacher, give the pupils vacashun last Thursday SO as he could go squir bunting

BEWARE OF MONEY

Don't let your baby cut his or her teath on a silver dollar. It ain't good for it, and if persisted in will mutilate the dollar. Better use an old leather strap. Bill Hepburn, our blacksmith, says he cut his teeth on an old leather strap when he was a baby. and jus. look at Bills teethl
