of spase.) Sammy had went and bilt
hisself a snowhouse in the back lot, and
was PLAYING he was Eskimoo, and
while he was ADDING so the snow house
fell down onto him, burrying him up
head over heels as you might say. They
was about four foot of snow on top OF
Sammy. He hollered. but his mouth was
full Of snow and nobuddy couldn't hear
nothink. and when he didn't come to sup
per his mother got uneasy and she went
ont to the back door and oald him, but
Sammy didn't response, and seeing that
the snow house had fell down, Mrs. Per
kins suspectionsd the worst and went
and got the shuvvel. and sure enuf she
dug Sammy out, and he was almost suf-
fercated for want Of breath. but is all

They was spellin bee in the Bing>
vile schoolhouse last Friday ev'g, con-
duckted by Jed Peters, our intelligent
school teacher. It was the yung peepul
of Bingville agin the boys and gurls OF
Hardscrabble, who come in sleds, etc.
Sally Hoskins was captain Of the BIng-
vile spoilers and Rusty Hawkins fer
Hardscrabble Each tux their pick OF
the best spoilers from their respective
towns until they was twenty on a side.
Then they stood up on opposite sides OF
the house and begin TO spell. Jed Peters
he started to give out the words, but he
had SIGH cold in his head that he
couldn't talk plane, and after he had
workt at it a while, Eph. Higgins, our
accommodating p. m. he relieved Jed.
They was large crowd of our local citi-
zens present. After they had spelt a
hour they was only one on each side,
Sine Wilson for Bingville and Bill

neutrality-suspicious.

We understand that the school |
board of the Bingville school at its
last meeting on Tuesday afternoon
in Zed Whittacre's cobbler shop,
where the three members happened
TO come together, decided unani-
.mously to introduce a new study
into the school which is called fzzy-
ologee and highjean.
The school board, as everybody
knows, is composed of Amir Doc
little, Ezekiel Holloway and Bale
Hawkins, three of our most respect
ed citizens, and at the same time
three ofNthe most unqualified per-
sons you could pick on in this neck
/ of woods to look after the educa-
ton of Bingville'S young ones.
Amir hasn't got any education and
brags about it. Ezekiel has all he
wants to do to write his own name
and get the spelling right and as
for Balaaln Hawkins-well, every
body knows that he hasn't got such
a mighty sight more brains than
Bud Hinckley, who amt quite right
in his head and amt got any. And
yet these 3 gents sets theirselfs up
and says that the scholars of the
Bingville school ought to study fz-
zyologee and highjean.
We have investigated this matter
and have found out what fzzy-
ologee and highjean is-it treats of
1.-The construction of the human body
and teaches the science of health.
What, we ask in all candor, does
the boys and girls of Bingville care
about the human system or health
That amt any of their business
that's a doctors business. What
good does it do a boy to know how
many bones there is in him or how
he is arranged inwardly? What
does he care about his health sc
long as he has a good appetite ant
comes prancin' up to his feed like Z
colt?
Zed Perkins, he teacher, j.
against bringing fzzyologee anc
highjean into the school and W,
back Zed up in his conviction. ZeC
says if it is brought in that like a.
not he'll have TO study like all San
Hill in order to teach it proper. Zec
he goes in more for readin, writil
and rithmytick, which after all i

person can study. Learn a child t,
