them. He said that golluf was a
game that you played with a lot of
clubs and littel white ball and a
10-acre lot. YOU hit the littel ball
with one of the clubs and follered
the ball to where you had hit it and
then hit it again, and so on until
you had gone all around the 10
acre lot. TENTS, he said, was played
with a soft ball and a big-faced bat
and a net, the idea being to bat the
ball back and forth acrosst the net,
from which a lot of pleasure could
be derived.
Seth Dewberry was just about to
make answer, when Cy Hosl1ins
jumped to his feet and commenced
to talk. He said he'd be dog-goned
if he could see the sense of foller-
ing littel white ball around 10
acre lot and hitting it when it want
a bit harder to pitch hay, and
diden't require so mitch moving
around. Cy said he diden't see how
in thunder any one but a born fule
was going to get any pleasure in
batting a ball back and forth acrost
net, whereat Jed Peters arose and
told him the only exercise that give
him any pleasure was squeezing the
eagle on a dollar.
Cy got considerably het up over
this and would of liked to of threw
table or something at Jed, when
Anne Hillyer, our talented loryer
and legal light arose, thrusting his
hand into his bozom, and said that
he knew that everyboddy's wives
was in favor of this Country Club,
but that he had figured it up and
he diden't see how such a thing
could be run on less than $55 yr.,
and who was going to soak up $55
for such a thing when Hen Wealth
ersby's store continued to be run
ming?
At all times, he said, the citizens
of Bingville could drop into Hens
store, and did as a matter of fact,
and ct literally of the delishious
Refreshments consisting of crackers
and dried fish, and played checkers
and parcheesi, and who can beat
checkers and parcheesi for indoor
sports, he said. In view of this
fackt, what use had Bingville for a
Country Club, he said, and who
wanted to play golluf or tenisf
Then Anne sat down amid CRATE
applause from all the men, but con-
siderable dissatisfaction on the
part of the women and Jed Peters.
Soon after this the meeting busted
up, with nothing done about the
Country Club, except that Jed Pet
ers had subscribed SOC lords it.
Edittorially, we never heard of
such a fool noshion. What need
have we of a Country Club? Al
most every day there is dog fight
on Main street, which is always in
teresting. There is fishing in Goot-
chic, and indoor sports at Hen
Weathersby's store, as Anne Hillyer
says. The seed of discomfort re-
garding a Country Club has been
sowed, but we shall combat it with
all the power of the press. Sub
