NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

We take our pen in hand to write
red hot 4th of July editorial and
we do so with considerable BASH
fulness being as the 4th of July
is a occashion which it is hard to
do justice to with no other weapon
than a poor weak pen in the hui
man hand.
The 4th is something that comes
but onct a year and then it only
lasts but one brief day and is gone
and past forever until the next 4th
arrives. Let us as respeckted citi-
zens of Bingville make the most OF
this 4th of July-let us holler and
yell and shoot off firecrackers and
blow tin horns, if we have any, and
make all the noise we possibly can
in order to show to the world at
large how patriotic we be. Let il
not be said of Bingville that we
failed as a town to rise to the oc-
cashion and that the pusilanimous
town of Hardscrabble, for instance
done more to celebrate the Glorious
Fourth than we done.
For the benefit of the most Of
our respeckted citizens of Bling
vile perhaps we ort to explain the
meaning and significance of the 4tt
of July. In every community there
is always a lot of ignorant ignO-
ramusses who when the 4th ar.
rives hollers and yells and makes
a powerful noise, but if you was
to ask them to their faces what
they was doing so for they would
probably not be, able to tell you off
hand.
The 4th of July is the birthday
of independence in the U. S. On
the 4th of July in the year 177t
the patriots of America declared
that this was a free and indepen-
dent country with equal rights fol
all and partickler favors to none
e pluribus unum forever, amen. Or
that day this country set down its
heel on the neck of the oppressive
tyrunt and has kept it there ever
sinst, thank goodness. The grand
old Liberty Bell was rung with sict
Whence that it was cracked anc
otherwise busted from centre tc
circumference and amt been much
good ever sinst except as a relic
of them glorious days. That's what
the 4th of July is, and now wher
anybuddy asks you what you are
hollering and celebratin SO for, yor
will be able to answer them intel
lligent.
