RumOT Run Down

There is a rumor all over town that
Cy HosIoins was going to single his
barn before cold weather set in, but We
could not verify it, so before going to
press we hunted up Cy and asked him
about it Cy asked us how much
shingles was by the thousand We told
him we thought they was about 81, and
then Cy said that he had been thinking
some of shingling his barn, but in view
of the high price of shingles he guessed
he would let it go until next year or the
year after. We are, therefore, glad to
deny this charge against Cy, accusing
him of intending to single his barn.

Help! Help!

The cold snap which occurred so
suddint and unexpected and unlocked
for last week caught US without much
fuel in our woodshed. We viii there
fore give 2 annual subscriptions Of one
year each to the first person who will
bring us a load of wood. We have all
the potatoes, squashes, butter, eggs,
chickens, hams, which we need at pres
ent, so don't bring any more of them.
What we need is wood. We could also
use money which has been owing US
for the past IS years, or more, but we
reckon It would be expecting too much
TO expect money.
If you would bring on your wood at
once you would be doing US a great
favor

Notice

Being as we have few debts to pay
and have no money to pay them, we
most respectfully ask that a few of
those who owes the Bugle for back sub
scription will kindly pay up. We hate
to annoy our subscribers by asking them
for money, but in order to run the Bugle
we must have some at once. We might
add that we do not want the money for
our own personal use-if we was ask
ing for money coming to us with which
to buy the bare necessities of life it
would be different What we want with
this money is to pay our debts.
