possibility of peaceful change of the
map of Europe by Prince Nicholas of

There is an old saying that IF
March comes in like a lion, it will
go out like a lamb, : and vice versa.
Down to the P. 0. tother night
when we quoted this old proverb,
Deacon Butterworth, who was
present, said we had got it twisted
Deacon Butterworth says it runs
like this, "If March comes in like
a lion it will 60 out like old Satan
hisseIf."
Bige Barker, who thinks he is
so smart on predicting the weather,
being as he has perdicted it sew
eral times and hit it-but how
could anybody perdict it several
times without hitting it once or
twice ?-Bige, he perdicts that this
March will come in like a lamb
and go out like a gentle zephyr.
Yesterday it snapped up cold in
Bingville and the wind bowed so
hard that it nearly took the Chin
neys often the houses, 50 that Bige
is now trying to go back on his
| perdicshion. He says he calkilates
that he got his signs twisted and
instead of March coming in like a
lamb it will come in like a old
buck sheep which has had a red
tablecloth waived at it.
Considerable damage is reported
did by the wind yesterday. as we
go to press. and no doubt more
damage will be reported after we
have went to press, full account
of which will appear in next week

torical associations winch clusters
about it.
Mrs. Martha Tucker was
another sufferer from the high
winds. Being as the weather was
so nasty Monday, Martha didn't
warsh until Friday and put her
clothes out Friday forenoon. They
wasn't dry by ev'g so she left them
out all night. and next morning
when the wind struck Bingville
the clothes which she had warshed
was all tore off the lines BY the
violence Of the breeze and scat
tered all over Bingville, as YOU
might say. Most of her warsh she
recovered, but If will have to be
warshed again, and some things
she didn't find and probably never
will find, including red flannel
shirt belonging to Jason Tucker,
her husband, also one OF Tase's
socks and also a pair Of Jases
underdrawers. What good is a
undershirt to Jason with no draw
ers to 60 with it? No good.
The wind also lifted the roof
often Gid Smalley's hen house, ex-
posing the hens to the elements,
as YOU might say, and Gid says he
thort to goodness they would have
all their feathers bowed often
them before the wind abated.
The way it looks at present.
March is getting ready to come in
like a runaway team. and if it goes
out worse than it has started to
come in. we calkilate it would be
a good idee for the residents Of
Bingville to retire to their cellars
to keep from being blowed often

ASSAULT (
BA7'TERD!
That's What Was Did to Us BY the
Brute Of a Editor Of the Hard.
scrabble Banner Which Amt
Fit to Read-..FuII PartiCkIers
Of the SiCkening Affair Below

Leander Lutes, editor and prop Of the
HardsCrabble Banner, paid Us a social
call last Tuesday Lcander dropped in 10
ask Us personally If We meant what we
said, not long sinst, when We wrote in
the Bugle referring to the Hardscrabble
Banner as pusilanimous sheet, and
if we was responsible for the statement
in the Bugle that the circulashion OF
the Hardscrabble Banner was only $50
subscribers and that the only thing it
was good for was 10 spread or the cup
board shelves and to start fires with.
We told Leander that them was our
sentiments exactly and asked him what
he was agoing to do about it. Instead
Of answering our question like a gentle
man. he grabbed holt Of us. and the next
instant We was engaged in mortal COM
bat What followed simply beggars de-
scripshion We tried to explain 70
Leander that he had took US unawares
and to wait q minute until we colld get
better holt but Leander is man who
lets his temper run him and he never
LEI on he heard Us. We are glad TO say
that We are not so morally degenerated
as TO let our temper run us. Leander
didn't even give US time to arbitrate the
matter. which we would of been glad to
of did, because il is better 10 reason out
great questions than it is 10 settle them
like couple OF cats and dogs.
Suddenly our foot slipped and we
both fell on the Bugle office floor, with
Leander on top, and being as he weighs
nearly 200 pounds, he practically squshed
the wind outen us. Leander then set
on top Of us, perspiring freely from his
exershions. and famed hisself with his
hat. AS soon as he could get his breath.
he asked US if we had had enough, and
as soon as We could get our breath, we
told him that We had had a great suffi-
cheney and that any more would be
superfloous
Just then Seth Dewberry, our lion
hearted town constable, stuck his head
into the door, and we hollered to Seth
TO arrest Leander for assault and bat
terry with intent 10 kill, deformashion of
character, obtaining the upperhand holt
under false pretenses, etc. Seth never
let on he heard us-all he said was, 81
see you two gentlemen is busy, so I will
call again" and with that he shut the
door and departed
Leander exacted a reluctant promise
from US that we wouldn't make any
further reflecshions on the Hardscrab-
bic Banner in the columns of the
Bugle unless we done so at the peril
of our lives, after which he let us up,
then he shuk his fist under our nose,
passed outen the Bugle office, mounted
his horse and rode off towards Hard
scrabble
When We took a inventory Of dam
ages, we discovered that our. coat was
tore up the back 10 the collar, that one
eye was swelled shut and highly discol-
ored. and that there was a combustion
on the back of our head about the size
of double yolked hens egg.
In conclushion we desire to say that
Leander Lutes can't intimidate us, and
that in our estimashion the Hardscrab-
bic Banner is FIVE times worse than
al we have ever said about it. and that
