We have spoken several time:
prior to this about the difficulty we
have experienced during our career
as editor and publisher of the
Bingville Bugle of getting our
subscribers and the general pub
lick to bring us news items into the

hereby speak Of it again in the
hope that it will do more good
this time than II has did in the
past.
Some weeks we have a horrible
time getting enuff news to fill I'D
the Bugle on, especially when news

chair to read the Bugle in the com
fortableness and sanctity of your
own homes don't have no idee how
turrible a chore It was to get all
that news witch you read with SIGH
interest. You have no comprecep-
ton Of how we have probably
gethered together that news, in the
SWEET Of our brow and the anguish
of our soul, as it were. Mebbv we
had to walk couple of miles after
one Of them little items whot YOU
can read through in half a minnit
IF you are good reader. Just think
of that.
If we didn't have so many things

NOCKH INTO
THE BROOK!
That's What Was Did TO
Sally HOSkinS by a Ram
Sheep While She Was
GOmmuning With Katur
1T was a Awful Shock
TO Sally

Miss Sally Hoskins, our beautiful
pome writer, whose PONIES have ap-
peared in the Bugle from time TO time
and have helped so many OF our sub
scribers to be better men and wimmen
and to live nobuller lives, had a horrible
experients last Friday at a moment when
she thought they was no danger near
whichever.
Sally, who likes to take walks BY her
self into the woods and thus commune
with nature, and hear the birds singin
and the bees bizzin, and to be out by
herself where she can think beautiful
poetic thoughts, left the house last Fri
day mornin for a stroll over hill and
dale.
She went into Hoskins' woods, back
Of town, and hunted around awhile IN
Ill she found hole lot of vilcts witch
she pluclt 10 bring home with her
She staid away until almost dinner time
and then she thought II would be time to
return home. So she started, when she
happened to think OF little brook that
runs through the meader a little out of
her way in Sam Hines lower pasture,
SO she thought she would go home via
the brook so as she could hear it babble
some to her, and with this in mind she
went
When she come to the edge of the
brook she saw some more vilets down
over the bank, and Sally got down on
her knees and was reaching down for
the vilets when something happened.
Il was Sam Hines ram sheep witch
happened.
The ram sheep. witch is always as
cross as a settln hen and vishious.
happened to come out Of the woods, !
and seeing Sally at the edge of the |
brook, made for her without DELAY. |
When the ram come up to Sally it |
struck her with its head on the spur
of the moment when she was reaching |
for the vilets under the bank of the |
brook and knocked her into the brook |
head first, witch is about three feet
deep at this point. To say that Sally |
was skeered and surprised would be
putting it mild As soon as she could |
git her head above water she hollered |
for help. She didn't know whot hit |
her at first until she saw the ram back
ing away for another butt. She jurpt
outen the brook and elm up into the
willers where she still shouted for help
while the ram stamped around under
her. Lucky it was that Sam Hines
heerd her and went to her rescue with
a pitchfork and drove the sheep off
and helpt Sally down out of the will
Iers and walked home with her.
We desire to state that Sally wasn't
hurt much, being as when the ram
struck her and knocked her into the
brook he struck her on the bussle witch
relieved the shock a good deal. This

4 Correction

We stated last week that a boy was
horned to Mr.. and Mrs. Amir Haines.
This IS a mistake. The child was
horned to Mr.. and Mrs. Haman
Petersby and it was a girl instead OF
a boy. It amt often we make as bad
mistake as this, and when we do we
are always glad TO correct same. It
is hard to always keep from making
a mistake even in a up-to-date and
enterprising newspaper Office which
aims at accuracy.

ROCKY ROAD IN HOUSE
FOR POSTAL BANK BILL
Measure Which Passed the Senate
Causes Trouble at South End
Of Capitol.

The administration postal savings bank
bill. as passed by the Senate, Is on the
rocks in the House. The subcommittee
of the House committee on post Offices
and post roads. which has had the bill
in hand for more than a month, ha.
split to pieces over the measure and re-
ported two bills back to the main COM
mittee.
The question of what to do with the
funds received on deposit in the postal
savings banks is the main matter Of DIFF
ference in the committee, but there are
other subjects Of dispute. large ma.
jority of the whole committee Of post Of
fees and post roads Is strongly opposed
to almost any form of postal savings
banks, but 1t is confronted with the ne
cessity Of bringing out some sort of bill
In fact, the membership of the House is
said to be largely opposed to the estab.
lishment of government savings institu.
tions, but as both the republican and
democratic platform contain planks de-
claring for them, all are agreed that
some legislation along this line must be
had.
No Report Of Details.
The report of this subcommittee has
not been printed and, therefore, not made
public, and consequently information
regarding the details of the committee s
action is not ohtainable.
The subcommittee consists of Repre-
sentatives Gardner of New Jersey. Hufi
of Pennsylvania, Durey Of New York,
Hamer Of Idaho, Moon of Tennessee and
Small Of North Carolina.
Some Of the subcommittee favor a
straight savings bank proposition, allow
ing the government to bring the de-
posts to Washington and make whatever
use of the funds upon which the gov
eminent may determine, including invest
ment in the 2 per cent government bonds.
Others advocate depositing the money
In local banks where received. so that
the money may remain in local channels
of trade. Southern and western mem
Der generally are insistent upon the lat
ter proposition.
The committee on post Offices and post
roads will take up the reports OF it's sub
committee probably the latter part OF
next week.

Is possible that the University College of
