pears. ounces and late red plums dragged What
few peaches and hgs came in found prompt sale
at satisfactory prices. and berries did better on
light arrivals. The market WAS overloaded with
on the tracks in the railroad Yards. Prices had
wide range sellers being able to get S15 a ton

Cow in Garden

Some time last Tuesday night tfas old red and white COW belonging to Lank Peterson broke outen the past- chnre and into the Widder Siiuner'S . garden, eating, of all the widdcr's let- tuce, onions, radishes and other Ivege- tables which was up down to ths roots, besides tramping up the garden something frightful, also the frcut lawn
 When the Widder got up next morn ing and seen what the COW had did and also seen the COW standing there in the garden chewing her cud, Mrs. Skinner grabbed up hoe and lambasted that COW outen the garden and down tfc street as hard as she could lambastc her The Widder then went to Amos Hillyer, our talented loryer and legal light and ]. of the F., and told Anne she desired to persckute Lank to the full eckstent of the law, whatever that was. Amos advised her to go ahead and persckute, being as he ain't got much to do in the law business just now, and SO she put in claim for damages to tho amount of $2s. When Lank heard this. he said the whole COW wasn't wort'i moren SIS. Later the case was settled by I.ank paying $s, half of which Arne got, and the rest of it went to the Widder.

 seat last Tuesday came acrost a black snake in the road, which Jim got out and killed dead. Jim says this snake was as long as his buggy whip, but when Jim gets to talking about the length of snake you can't put no more dependence on what he says than YOU can in Wes Woodruff, when he tells of the length of the fish he ketches.
 Cy Hoskins has planted patch of water melons back of his house. Cy de- sires us to announse to the general pub lick that when these water mellons is ripe he will perteck them with shot gun. Some fiends in human form who have helped theirselfs to Cy's water mellons in the past had better beware,
 The corn crop is coming along nicely at present and it looks as if we would have a good crop of same.
 Buck Henderson borrowed 75 cts from us a year ago this month to buy a dog with: The dog died and Buck has been little mite slow about paying us back, although we have asked him for the 75cts about 75 times.

Harve Hines, our tonsorial barber, shampooer and hair cutter, reports that he is doing big business with the ice kream parlor he resently started ill conneckshion with his tonsorial parlor. Harve says that last week he sold IS dishes of ice kream, cut z heads of hair and shaved 4. Harve must be getting rich.
 Miss Tabitha Jones, while engaged in cutting out shirt waist one day last week, acksidentally made mistake and spoiled the goods. Tabitha will now haft to buy material for another shirt waist, and she is good cal put out about it, too.
 Rev. Samuel Moore, our beloved pas tor of the Bingvillc church, tells us that he is seriously considering the pro- priety of preaching 2 sermons each Sunday, insted of one, as heretofore. It is our opinion that if Rev. Moore does this he win be making mistake as it is now, people don't do as he tells them to do in one sermon week; then again if he brooches Sunday e'vg. he would keep the church members up un- til 9 o'clock at the earliest, when they ort to be in bed and asleep. Mrs. Samantha Deevers desires ts to announse in this weeks Rugle that she is on the sick list Samantha was re- ported on the sick list in last weeks Bugle, but she says she is sicker this week than she was last week.
 Jasper Hawkins has horse which he says he will sell or swap to the first conner. This horse of Jasper,s has the heeves, which is why Jasper desires to dispose of it, Anyone desiring a, horse with the heeves see Jasper.
 Mrs. Martha Tucker disposed of a batch of 9 lbs of butter to Hen Weath- ersby, prop, of our general store, one day last week, and traded out the whole amount for groceries, etc. 9 Lbs. is a good batch of butter from one person.
 Hank Dewberry is talking some of buying a pair of horses and going into the teaming business, but we presume nothing but talking will ever come of it. Hank is too tarnashion lazy to ever make sucksess of the teaming busi- ness-he could probly set on the seat and drive, but when it come to loading and unloading he would be too tired
 What we need at present is new subsckribers and rain. We got one of ] the latter last week, but have not had one of the former for several weeks.

We have been thinking for some time of writing a editorial on the question, Shall Bingville Enter tain Summer Boarders?" but have waited until now to gather some statisticks on the subjeckt,
 As everybody knows, Cyrus Hoskins has been entertaining a couple of summer boarders for the past three weeks-a gentleman and his wife ~ff77N the city, who come to Bingn t'.get rest and some fresh a have now gone away az | glad of it; he says hef any more sum mer boa hs. house. These two is the ,.6 e mi 'a,ftnmer boarders who have visiteG ssingville this sea- son, although there are others of our citizens who would of been glad to of had few theirselves if they could of managed to of got them. It is our opinion that it won't pay Bingville people to keep summer boarders.
 Cyrus tells us that the two he had wanted too much for their money. He only charged them $3 per week for their bed and board, but Cy figures the extras they got he has lost money on the dicker. There was a clean towel in their room when they come, but they hadn't been there two days until they wanted it washed. We regard this as ridicklus. There is towel in the Bugle office which we have been using now off and on now go- ing on three months without wash ing it, and, as far as we can see, it is about as good as new.
 Cy also tells us that they was too high toned to wash with the home made soap that Mrs. Hoskins made and bought cake at Hen Weath- ersby's store. This is a insult to Mrs. HosIlins, who is one of the best soap makers in the com munity. Cy also had to purchase a bowl and pitcher because his summer boarders wouldn't wash at the pump out in the yard, like he's been doing for the past 75 years. MT. Hosl1ins also paid 75 cents for the bowl and pitcher.
 To make matters worse, two of Cy's COWS went dry and the board CTS kicked because they didn't get enough fresh milk. Cy's hens also went back on him and refused to Hay a egg for over a week, and as the summer boarders kept a-callins

for eggs, Cy had to buy two or three dozen at Weathersby's store.
 Cy says he wouldn't keep an- other summer boarder for $5 a week. He couldn't get the two he had Up in the morning until 5 o'clock, while Cy's reglar time of getting up is 3, and sometimes they wouldn't go to bed until as late as g P. M. Not only this, but they kept asking Cy fool questions about which cows give buttermilk and which cream, and whether pumpkins growed on trees, until Cy was drove about plum crazy and ain't over it yet. It will be the policy of the Bugle hereafter to discourage summer boarders com ing to Bingville. The two which stopped with Cy are the first we have had, but they was not what you might call a success financially, and we caIckilate that Bingville don't want any more for some time.
