Pleasant Ride Through Fine
Country.

One afternoon this week, Frank
Truax of the Burford & Truax,
Automobile Co. asked us with our
better half to take a ride in one of
the three new Regal autos which
that firm brought in last week.
Finding E. d. Smith on the street
he was asked TO take the remaining
seat and with full load we pulled
into the road for the upper valley,
with Mr.. Truax at the wheel. To
say that we enjoyed that ride is only
feeble expression of the state of
our mind and feelings. The day
was superb. the roads with few ex-
ceptions as firm and smooth as an
asphalt pavement, there was no per
ceptible engine jar, to keep one con-
stantly in mind that he Was riding
in a "buzz wagon, but the motion
was as even and steady as that of a
Pullman car, and the springs SO
nicely adjusted that there was no
jolting. We do not own a car as
most country editors do, and our
judgment may not be as good as
some on such matters.
But our conviction is that the
Regal auto with shaft drive, and
three speed motions easily changed
while the car is in motion is hard to
beat. We may be giving some of
the credit to the car which is justly
due to MIR. Truax's skill as driver
but with that in mind we still adhere
to the opinion that the Regal is
among the best.
We have seen many of the show
farming tracts of greater or less ex-
tent along the Missouri and Missis-
sippi valleys but the companion
piece with the valley of Crook
ed creek for extent, fertility and
beauty, we have never seen or read
a description of.
This pleasant landscape had much
to do with our enjoyment of the
ride.

cussed the propriety of reviving the
grange, but they didn't seem to
come to no conclushion. They
|argyed until late hour, and the
final consunsus of opinion was that
the Bingville grange was too much
of a corpse to be resusitated, and
that being as it was as deceased as
a dried herring, what would be the
use to try to revive it, after which
them as had met to discuss it went
home in disgust.
Amt Bingville got enough spunk
to have a granger Are we agoing
to let other towns around here lord
it over us just becuz they have
oranges and, we, HAVEN'T Ought
there not to be enough pride in our
community to get UP another
grange? Yes. Then, why don't we
have one?

informashion concerning the reviv-

THE BINGVILLE BUGLE!
The Leading Paper Of the County


There was a meeting of few
members of the Bingville Gran
gers in the Town Hall tother
ev'g, who are also some of our
most respeckted citizens, as you
might say, to see if somethink can't
be did if possible to revive the
Bingville Grange, which has almost
petered out in the past few years
and become a thing of the past, and
I, it is realized that unless something
is did to resusitate it Bingville
won't have no grange which would
be disgrace to the town being as
the various oranges in the other
towns about here is mostly in a
prosperous condishion whereas
Bingville is pointed at with the
finger of scorn and contumely be-
cause it amt got no grange.
Five years ago when the grange
was first started in our midst it was
big success and boosted of more
than rs members, which consisted
of prosperous farmers in and about
Bingville. In them days the meet
ings was always big attended and
the various topicks of interest to
the farmer was discussed with
great heat and interest from time
to time, to say nothing of each
injecting bringing the members oil
the community together onct each
week for soshial intercourse and to
visit with one another. In them
days they was money in the treas
hurry and everything was in a
flourishing condishion.
But, alas, grange politicks crept
in. Cy Hoskins, who had been
chairman of the grange for two
years, was kindly asked to resign
so as to give sumbuddy else a
chanst at the honor, but Cy he re-
fused to resign on the grounds that
he had made a good chairman for a
cupple of years and becuz of the
pracktice he'd had at being chair
man could make better one than
anybuddy else. Cy he said he'd be
a candidate in spite of everything
and he went about leckshioneering
for hisself, but Bige Barker was
voted in as chairman, and then
what did Cy do but go around
amongst a lot of the members in
the grange and stir 'em up and get
'em disconnected, and finally in
dooced 20 or 80 members to resign,
and from that day on the grange
begin to go down, until now il
don't never meet no more. Shame
on SIGH doins, anyhow
Well, few of the old members
met in the Town Hall and dis

Ephriam Henderson sent letter out
of the Bingville p o. recent and be-
cuz he thort it was too heavy to GO
for 2 cents, put cts, in stamps on
same, being as the Office was closed
and Eph Higgins, our p. m, wasn't
there to weigh it. When he made up
the mail, however, Eph weighed the
letter and found that a 2-cent stamp
would take it, but he cancelled the
4 cents and sent the letter along, then
he told Eph Henderson that he had or
Il cts. too much. This made Eph mad
to think that the P. M. didn't take of
one stamp and give it back to him
and hereafter he says he will purchase
his stamps elsewhere than at the Bing-
vile P. o. P. NJ. Higgins says he DOM
care if he does, being as he don't ge,
paid for the stamps he sells, but the
stamps that he cancels.

and then we'll both ride back togethei
in it--wouIdn't you perfer to do that
to walking?" "Don't know but
would" says Seth, being as it's q
purity warm day, and, besides ! Amt
never had ride in one of them con-
trapshions and I'd like to find out
what the sensashion is like
Well, presently Harry got the auto
into running gear and Seth he took
his place beside Harry, who said that
being as Seth hadn't never had auto
ride before he would take him for a
short jaunt down along the Snake
Crick road which is straight and
snoothe as pike.
What follered nearly took Seth's
breth away. Soon as Harry struck a
long stretch of road Seth says he
pulled the throttle wide openss Con-
lstubble Dewberry says that he reckons
they was going at least go miles q
hour and mebby more, and that every
time they turned a curve 1t was all
he could do to keep from being
throwed clean over into the crick. Seth
says they went so fast that it made
his ewes waiter and that the tears
run down the back of his neck
According to what Harry tells at the
Co. seat Seth finally grabbed holt of
him and gasps: For goodness sakes,
Harry, stop this critter and let me
out and I'll promise you / won't never
Arrest you as long as you live" Harry
says that Seth plead with him with
tears in his eyes and that when he
stopped Seth got out and started back
after his hat, witch was the last he
seen of him, and that he perceeded on
his way to the Co. seat.
Seth denies that he was in the auto
with Harry at all--he says that before
he got where the auto was broke down
Harry had got it fxt and was gone,
but AMI Hillyer, who. was buildin
fence along the Snake Crick road,
says that he seen Seth ride past in
the auto with Harry and that Seth's
hair was all on end and his eyes
bugged out like as if he was plum
scairt to deth.
There is a discrepancy somewheres.
