BingyiIIs Is Saved From EismaI Dis ! grace by Holding It's Annual Falr
 as UshuaI---lt Was a Big Suck
 ssss, Thanks to the Bugls---par- iicklers Below

Well, sinst the last ishue of the Bugle appeard the Bingville annual fair has came and went. It occurred last Wcns- day, Thursday and Friday and was a turrible sucksess from every pint of view. In fackt them as was present was unanimous in the opinion that it was one of the best county fairs ever held in Bingville and that's saying good cal becus Bingyille fairs have been helt in our midst ever sinst Heck was pup and for some time before that. A full acct of how the fair come to be held after it was a nounced in last weeks BuQle that it wouldn't be held this year will be found in the able editorial on this same page of the Bugle. Alas, how often it happens in life that them enterprises which is got up in hurry at the last minnit, as you might say, proves to be more of bowling sucksess than them as you have prepared long in advance and fused over and lookt for ward to only to have them turn out to be fizzles half the tirnel Sich applies to the Bingville Fair--although got up on the spur of the minnit as you might say it was nevertheless big sucksess.
 When Hen Wcathersby, Eph Higgins and Anne Hillyer read our red hot edi- toriaI in last weeks -Bugle they felt stung to the quick. as you might say, so they calld a meeting ir1lmejit and desided to hold the fair right off, so they come to the Bugle offs and had lot of posters printed in red ink and several thousand dodgers to skater around and then they lit out from Bingville in three different direckshions clustering every barn and henhouse and fence within a radius of ten mile of Bingville They sent fair bills to the co seat and every buddy they met coming or going on the they road they would holier, "They's a going to be Bingville Fair after allp' Thus the word spread like wildhre and was whispered from mouth to mouth with baited breath. Of course there was awful lot of work to be did, but when the fair committee started in to hold a fair every enterprising citizen of Bing- vile jumped in and helped and done what he could to make the fair q suck sess. Premiums was offerd for fruit, vegetables cattle, pigs, sheep chickens, fancywork, preserves. also for the races in fackt folks in Bingville inclooding the fair committee nearly busted their selfs to make the fair sucksess which it was. ,
 Brite and airiy Wensday morning the gates of the fairgrounds jest west of Bingville was ttlrowd open and nearly before sunup folks begin to arrive from every direckshion. It seemed as if all roads led to Bingville during the three days of the fair and powerful dusty roads they was, too. By the time peo- pie arrove at the fairgrounds. espeshially if they had to drive several miles they was so covered with dust that you could- nit skeercly reconize them as being hu- man beings. In most cases them as at- tended brung their wifes and ehildern

Pertinent Personals

There ain't much room left for per sonals in this .ishue being as too much spase has already been tuk up by our editorial on the Bingville Fair and the acct of the fair itself, also the tilt be- twixt the Rev. Moore and Bill Hepburn. However, perhaps this is jest as well, becuz personals is very skeerce with ,,s anyhow this week.
 Pe~haps we will come acrost some per- sonais before the next ishue of the Boogle appears. Be asshured that if we do you shall have them, dear reader.
 It's turrible queer thing about per- sonals-now some weeks there is lots of personals, in fact more personals than we have room for and then suddint there will come week when personals will be skeercer than hens teeth.
 However, we persoom this is as it ort to be-we can't-expect personal items to run the same week after week. Some weeks the demand exceeds the supply and some weeks, vice versa.
 And yet the general average on pe.- sonals is very good, all things consid- cred.
 We allus Ike to give as mary per- sonals in the Roogle as possible becuz folks allus likes to see their names in the paper, and if they don't see them in the paper they allus git insulted and call and ask for their paper to be stopt coming.
 If you happen to hear of any person. als from time to time why don't you inform us of sarle? We would take it as a great favor even if they are about yourself
 It ain't very often that we write as many good personals in the same amount of spase as we have did above.

vitals and feel the lash of publick sentiment on their lazy backs.
 We regard this fair being held as a great triunf for the Bingville Bugle. If we had not of lit into the fair committee as we done there wouldn't of been no fair, but becuz we showed them up before the folks of Bingville and surrounding country they become spurred on to sich extent that they went right ahead and give a far that was a large success.
 All praise and credit to Hen Weathcrsby, Eph Higgins and Anne Hillyer, becuz they suckseed- ed in giving the Bingville Fair af- ter they had give up giving it..aWo wouldn't be surprised if the names of these gents would go laundering down the corridors of time becuz of what they have did.
 A full acct of the fair apears in another collurn of this ishue of the Bugle and in closing this editorial we might add that now is the time to subscribe for the Bugle and also the time to pay cash for your sub scripshions in advance = no others need apply-them as have not paid any cash in advance and have therefore proved to be dead beets and titewads is already too num- erus and we don't want no more of them breed of pups in our sub scripshion list.

Bill Hepburn in Disgrace

Bill Hepburn. our artistiek blacksmith has went and made blamed fool of iis- self again. Last Satterday Bill he went to the co seat as ushual and come home just about dark full as ushual. or It, tie fuller than ushuaI If that Is possible,
 Well, Bill he hitched his hosa In front of Hen Weathersby's store and finally managed to stagger Into the store carry ing a ga! jug half full of whiskey: Az bad luck would have It Rev. Saml Moore, our beinyd paster of the Bing- vile church, happend to be in the store at the time purchasing few groceries to tide him over the Sabbath. We'll when Bill seen Rev. Moore he didn't turn tail
The Montgomery advertiser., 1909-10-17

and leave the store like he would of did if he had of been sober. No, Bill he l staggered up to Rev. Moore and holding out the jug to him Bill says, Brother Moore, there is a little good ticker in this here jug and e long ez yo1 be here Pm going to do you the honner to offer it to you before offer 1t to cnny of tho other fellers in herc--I don't want you to go outen here and say slighted yors This is powerful good ticker, Brother Moore, and if you was to take little nip for your stummick's sake 1t would- n't hurt yoti a mite--help yourself"
 Rev. Moore straitened Up and glared at Bill with indignation and said: If you think you do me . honnefA Bill Hepburn, when you try to tempt ms with the Demon Rum, you are mistaken ii--you don't do me no homer, sir--you only insrlt me and you ort to be asll< ancd of yourselfi Look at the condishss ion your ini-I'm ashamed of. you i--cv. erybuddy in Bingviile is ashamed of you a You ain't no good, Bill Hepburn, and never waxi Your a disgrase to thc town and you ort to be rode out of it |onsa raill I'm ashamed to be saw even taliyin to you. so I'll say goodnite."
 As Rev. Moore pasd outen the store Bill hollerd after him as follers:
 sYor're mise servant of the Lord ain't you. I know I ain't what I ort to be, but longs you talk to me like that I wont be no better. You ain't no more ashamed to be saw tallxin to me than F am to be saw taiI<in to you, dodgast ye { When offerd you a nip of this licker I done you bonner becuz 1t is good ticker, and then you reviled me and per- secooted me and talIxt to me like as if T was a dog. If you wasn't a parson D callxilste I'd jest hit you one wallop which would put you to sleep for ten days As.it is will spare your worth- less life, so go along home and turn the other end of your bari of sermons up and knock in the head and begin to preach ern over agin like you've been doir ever sinst Bingville was laid out"
 By this time Rev. Moore was almost outen hearing and after the pastors de-. parture Bill he pasd around the jug and them as was present tuls nip until the corntents of the jug was reduced to tho minimum as you might say--in othee words there wasn't drop left in it.
 Them as heard what Bill said to Rev. Moore was of the opinion that Bill was right and the parson was wrong. They patted Bill on the back and told him that he had made good speech and had said the right thing and this proved to be correct when on the follering Mon- dy Rev. Moore cald on Bill at his blacs< smith shop and told Bill he was sorry for what he had said and asked his for< giveness. Bill, he says. sNow your talking, Parson," and they shuk hands on it. Bill says he kin be led by most anybuddy but hell be goshrammed iS anybuddy kin drive him. -

and dogs eff they had any) with them they also brung their dinners in baskets which they ct with great gusto under the shade trees in the fairgrounds whenever they felt the pang of hunger having al their vitals.
 The seckond days attendance at the fair was bigger than the first and the third day was bigger than the seckond Hank Dewberry and Lem Quigly who sold tickets and tuk in the money at the gate says that the attendance during the three days was bigger than has ever at tended Bingville fair during their rec olleckshion. (The reason Hank and Lem -has allus tuk tickets is that there has been trouble betwixt them for 10 these many years and they hate each other like snakes--well the fair committee has ai- lus put Hank and Lem at the gate becuz they knowd that if Hank tiik any of the gate receats which didn't belong to him. Lem would Tell, and vice versa.
 The Bingvilles Horn Band furnished musick for the occashion, perdoocing sweet sprains of, harmony which dee lighted the thousands who was at the Fair each day. All the band boys was present, except Snide Petcrsby-- -Snidc, Ehe-plays the trombone and he happened to have cold sore on his lip, which made it impossible to do this. Snide he tried to play the trombone the first day of the fair, but he said that whenever he tried to blow the durn thing it hurt his lip so that 1t made his eyes wortcr and then he would swear sornethink aw- full, so Snide he give it up. Another ax- ident occurd in the band when Heck Barker hit the base drum turribIe wal Top when the band was marching to the fair grounds on the seckond day and busted in one head.
 It twould take too much spase in this received premiums for various things, inclooding livestock, vegetables, fruit. fancy work, ct cetery. All we kin do is to give the result of the racing:
 FIRST DAYS RACErIt was the four-nlinnit trot and was won by "Ciary Bell" owned bv Amos Winters of the county seat-Ciary Bells time for the mile was five minnits and 30 seckonds, but she has did mile in five minnits, flat
 SEcKoND DAYS RACE-Was q pacing race (no time limit. Cy Hos kins' old mare "Jinny" would of won this race if Cy hadn't of fell outen the suiky on the home stretch when news paper blowd across the track and Jimmy shyed at it. As result the pacing race was won by Mel Bartlett--or ruther by Mers i7-year-old bay geiding Polly"
 THIRD DAYS RACE-This was a free-for-all, trot, pace or lope and they was fifteen entries. The race was won by Plutarch Stone of Sorrow Hollow on a mule which kin run like the very old skratch. There was good cal of dis satisfackshion among the others who en- terd the race becuz the mule won-they said they was under the impreshion 1t was a hoss race and not mule race, but the judges give the race to Plutarch and the mule anyhow.
 Plutarch says he wouldn't take a thousand dollars for that mule sinst it won the race-he also says he wouldn't stand within kiclsin distance of that mule for two thousand.
 They was. also balloon ascenshion by a felIer from the Go. seat. who went up and come down, again without losin his worthless life. Most everybuddy at the fair got stiff neck iooiin up him.

Last week or the week before, we forget which, we had a editorial in this collum to the effeckt that there wouldn't be no Bingville an- nual fair this year owing to the turrible human apathy on the part of our Bingville Fair committee, consisting of Hen Weathersby, our
 merchant prince & prop. of the Bingville genl store; Eph Higgins, our accommodating postmaster, and Amos Hillyer, our talented lor- yer, legal lite, J. of the F., Notary
 Publick, insurance ag't., and other things too nunerus to mentshion.
 In that editorial we took occa-
 shion to rip the members of our
 fair committee up the back and
 down again for their delinquency as you might call it. We said that lit was a burning shame and dis grace and a dark splotch on the
 fair eskutchun of Bingville that be.
 ing as Bingyille has held a annual
 fair for 10 these many years it was la sin and a shame that this year we would have to pass by without la fair. We askt the pertinent quest shion, What will Hardscrabble
 think about us?" We perdickted
 that if we did not hold a county fair in Bingville this year as usual that that pusilanimous sheet knowd
 as the Hardscrabble Banner would
 come out in big type making fun of us becuz we had fell down on holding a fair-the two-faced ed- itor of the Hardscrabble Banner
 would point his editorial finger of
 skorn at us and hold us up to the
 riddy6ule of the whole, entire world.
 Well, all we have got to say is that the red hot editorial we wrote has bore fruit. Not only did it wake up the members of the fair conn mittee to sense of their responsi- bility, but woke etn up to sich 3
 extent that they not only pulled shoulder to shoulder, but ackshual- ly worked like dogs, and it gives us much pleashure to nounce that
 sinst the Bugle containing that scorching editorial appeard the
 Bingville annual county fair has been held & proved to be one of the biggest fairs ever held in the his-
 tory of Bingville. Hen and Eph
 and Anne covered theirselfs with l Igiory-they ariz to the occashion- they done noble And this only goes to show what folks kin do
 when they are suddintly awoke to
 sense of their responsibilities lit shows what they kin do when

Bud Give Us a Call

We a nounce with regret that Bud Hinckley who ain't quite right in his head called at the Boogie offs last Wens- day while we was to the Bingville Fair and taking advantage of our absents Bud he painted the seat of our offs chair with paste from the paste pail, probably playin that he was doing job of painting.
 We didn't know that Bad had did this until we come back to the office about dark and set down on the chair
The Montgomery advertiser., 1909-10-17

and lit the lamp and wrote acct of the fair until about 10 p. m. and when we went to git up offen the chair 1t stuck to us and we thort to goodness that afore We would git it separated from ourself we would pull the whole seat of our pants out by the roots
 We wisht that Bud Hinckley's mother would keep him at home where he be longs. If we ketch him around the Boogle offs agin we will box his ears for him no matter if he aint quite rigat in his head.

Happy New Year to All.
AN HONORABLE BOYCOTT.

The Recorder at Salmon City is
being boycotted to the extent OF be-
ing ordered out of the building 1t
has occupied, for having taken the
dry" side In the recent local option
campaign. 1t has not been alleged
that it was other than fair and de-
cent; attacking principles instead of
individuals. and discussing the mat
ter from its view of business, Just
as most of the argument from the
other side is made on the business
features of the case.
The Recorder editor knows what
1t means to be boycotted for this
same offense. He has tried 1t. 1t
cost him lot of money-more mon
ey than he could now raise on every
thing he owns-but he paid the price
and took his medicine. 1t may be
better to be live coward than a
dead lion; but there are things bet
ter than mere patronage, there are
mental attitudes higher and nobler
than hiding behind the plea that it's
none of his business to reform the
world or anybody in it. We can't
reform the whole world; society has
been trying for 5000 years to deal
with the question of intemperance,
and hasn't found an ultimate solu-
ton. The fact that most newspapers
have allowed themselves to be the
cats-paw of politics, and so give the
impression that they have no minds
of their own, no opinion that they
care or dare to express, doesn't
necessarily mean that they have not
the right to act occasionally as their
judgment dictates. Since most of the
argument for the saloon is based on
business grounds, 1t is only fair that
the answer should be made in like
terms, That, it is understood, is
what the Recorder did. There are
lot of honest men, in the saloon
business, who after they have lost
in a fair fight, are ready to abide
by the result, and not go bushwhack,
ing and assassinating their oppon-
ents. There are no doubt many of
this class in Salmon City; and the
boycott did not come from them.
The boycott Is un-American, unfair
nine times out of ten is based on
personal spite or a foolish grudge
that should not animate men of sense
and there aren't very many commun-
tiles where it can flourish. To deny
the other man the right to free
thought, the right which one takes
for himself. is the act of the chump,
the cad, the thief. The other man
may be mistaken--but that isn't the
way to prove your case. The Rich
field Recorder congratulates the Sal
mon Recorder on having uncovered
lot of little-souled men. carica-
lures of what men should be, and
trusts that it will lick the everlast-
ing daylights out of them in an APP
peal to the people.-Richfield Re-
corder.
