Country Correspondence

For some reason or other our conn
try correspondents have failed - se,d
US any letters this week This is some
thing that very rarely happens. We cal
kiiate they are busy at some other en-
ployment Of some kind and we will
therefore join with our host of sub
scribers in hoping that we will hear
from them by next week az latest In
the meanwhile we will not give anv
country correspondence this week BE-.
ing as we have none TO give. but will
dash on a few items relative TO them
from out of town which we have saw
in bingville during the past week.
L. Cookins of Sorrow Hollow was
Bingville visitor last week. Il brought
a dead calf with him which he killed
for veal. He tried to peddle il out in
our midst and almost succeeded.
Bill Hendricks of Zion Crossroads
passed through Bingville recently and
stopped for few minutes at Hen
Weathersby's store to greet his many
friends and buy few cigars. Bill was
accompanied by the sheriff and was on
his way to the Co. seat charged with
chicken stealing. We hope that Bill will
be able to clear his fair name of this
turrible smudge which has been brought
against it. This is the third time Bill
has been arrested for stealing chickens.
Mrs. Mehitabel Smiley of Snake Bend
came to Bingville recently, fetching with
her some butter and eggs wiach she
marketed at Hen Weathersby's store.
Mehitabel says she can do almost as
well with her marketing at BingvilIe
as she can at the Co. seat.

sired to know who struck him, and for
a minute it looked as if there was a.
going 10 be a free-for-aIl scrimmage. All
this time Bige and Lem was engaged IN
mortal combat as you might say. Lem
kicked at Bige and fell down and Bige
jumped on top OF him and pulled out a
handful of hair and tried to bite LENS
nose but bit on metal button instead
and broke off a tooth. By this time Lem
had managed 10 get Bige BY the ear
and pulled until Bige hollered for help.
but help was scarce, so Bige begin to
scratch LENS face and Lem let loose
and got his hand inside Of Sige's shirt
collar and ripped it clean down to the
waist
The langwidge both men used during
the engagement was not fit to print and
we therefore expurRate same from the
columns of the Bugle, which is a home
paper designed to be read around the
family circle. BY this time both men
was outen breath and all they could do
was to call each other names. Finally
they let loose Of each other and arose TO
their feet covered with blood and Qiory.
Bige picked up his hat and started home
madder than wet hen, and Lem started
for to hunt up Doe Livermore, our hu-
man specialist and horse doctor, TO get
his face fixed up. After thsA6ght was
al over Seth Dewberry. ouresbn-heart-
60 town constable, arrived of1sthe scene
AID demanded an explanation. He said
# he had arrived little sooner
ne would OF, a rested everybody present
as an accessory after the fact Seth
then commanded the crowd TO dispense
to their homes and they dispersed.
The principals of this nefarious epi-
sode ought TO be ashamed of themselves

Whot has Congress did TO curb
the trusts the past year? We ask
this questshion as a American cit
tizen who desires TO know. Unless
Congress does something to wipe
the trusts out of existence we de-
sire to state that We will show Con-
gress up in the columns of the
Buggle. We have been bullyragged
and bedridden about long enuff BY
the robber trusts of this country
and we be gettin awful sick of it.
What chanst has a farmer with
a mortgage on his hands when the
trust pays him six cts per ID for a
full growed steer on the hoof and
sells said steer back to him as beef
for % cts. per ID. or worse.
They was time during the war
when potatoze sold for S. bushel
and now look whot they be sellin
ferI All you can git for potatoze
now won't scairsely pay for the
seed.
Why is they so many divorses
in this country and so many family
infelicitudes? Whot is the reason
the Panama Canal and the Ali
mentary Canal amt pushed forrerd
| to compleshion?
Who is responsibull for the
brown tale moth which blamed
neer ct Bingville outen house and
home last summer and promises to
do the same thing this summer?
Why is they so much race sui
eide in our midst? Where is all
the money went to and why is the
financial stringency so stringent
at present.
Ennybuddy who has envy cents
knows that this is all the fault of
the trusts and it is the duty of
Congress to make the trusts SWEET
for it. If Congress don't do this,
we will.
