Old Dad Henderson perdicks
that we will have early spring
this spring, but what does old Dad
Henderson know about whether we
will have a early spring or not?
He don't know nothin and Dad
has demonstrated that he don't
know nothing time and time again
when he gets to perdickting what's
going to happen in the future.
Dad prides hisself on being a
powerful weather profit and he has
missed his perdickshuns so much in
the past that Bingville folks has
got in the habit of expecting jest
the contrary of what Dad says will
occur. For instance, when Dad
says we're agoin to have a long
wet spell folks hereabouts gener-
ally prepares for drouth and be-
gins to economic in their use of
water, and if Dad says we're agoin
to have a fair day, you will see
Bingville folks carrying umbrellas.
Early last fall Dad said we was
agoin to have a open winter becuz
the goose bone was thin in the
flange, the bark wasn't tight on
the trees, the squirrels wasn't stor-
ing away as many nuts as usual
and cows tails didn't have as much
hair on them as customary. Well,
what is the result? The result is
that whereas Dad said we would
have a open winter we have had a
close winter i it has been colder
than zero in Bingville for weeks
and everything is froze up tighter
than a bung.
Mel Sampson on the strength OF
what Dad said only cut half as
much fire wood as he otherwise
would of cut, and now Mel's burned
up all his wood to keep from freez-
ing to death and has to borrow
lwood from his neighbors. Mel says
if Dad wasn't so old and INDECENT
he would give him a dog-blamed
good walloping for misleading hin,
like that and that only Dads gray
(hairs save him, as you might say
When Dad heard that Mel haG
said this, he got madden than Z

stove in Hen Weathersby's store
and struck it with his cane unit

and Sam stood UP till he got SO tired he
was weak in the knees. Finally, how
ever, Amelia got the pants patched and
she held looking glass and told Sam
to look ard see if he didn't think it
was a pretty good job to be did with
the pants on him. Sam said he thought
it was.
Well, no more was thort about the
subjeckt until that night when Sam
went to take off his pants to go to bed
he found that his wife had sowed the
pants and all fast to his under drawers.
When he told Amelia this she hollered
and LATED and this made Sam mad as
wet hen, and the way he swore was
something awful. Sam says it's won
der that Amelia didn't sow them pants
fast to hisself. He made her patch 'em
right before he would go to bed

School Visited

The members of our school beard
consisting of Cy Hoskins, Deacon But
terworth and Lem Brown, visited our
school last Friday afternoon to note
what progress the scholars is making,
if any. Jed Peters, our intelligent
school teacher, give them all seats and
then perceeded to call up the classes to
show the board how much he has
learnt the pupils, The school board ex-
pressed themselves as much pleased
with the Rotations. Deacon Butter
worth asked little Tommy Barker how
many two and two was and Tommy
answered -Four" almost as quick as
scat Cy Hoskins then asked little Mar
tia Gookins how much nine times eight
is and Martha says 81 and Cy patted
her On the head and told her that was
correct and that she was a turrible
smart little girl for her size Jed then
interrupted Cy and told him that nine
times eight wasn't 81, but T. and Cy
wanted to know what business if was of
Jeds to tell him, man twice as old as
he Jed was how many times nine
times. eight was. Cy said he didn't per-
nit any whipper snapper of a school
teacher to tell him how many nine
times eight is. Cy said nine times eight
might be y nowadays, but when he
went to school nine times eight was 81
and he would thank Jed Peters to tend
strickly to his own business when the
school board was visiting the school.
The board then took their departure,
and Cy was purity mad and has told
around Bingville that in his opinion Jed
ought to be removed for naIfeasance in
office and trying to inculcate new ideas
in the heads of those intrusted to his
care, and who it is his sacred duty to
teach the truth to- Jed still sticks to
it that nine times eight is y and says
if anybody don't believe it just let them
add up nine Fights and see for their
selves

STAY IN PARTY. SAYS WORKS
Will Support Taft, II Renominated
Though He PNfers La Toilette.

Los Angeles. Sept. 13.-"Rcpublicans are
now facing the question whether they will
huid up the Republican party or turn
against II and destroy it, said United
states Senator Works last nj hit. in a
speech TO the Union League. President Taft
is not representative of the people. lie is
a reactionist but he also is merry man
with a most plausible manner In explaining
away his mistakes. Taft and La Toilette
are destined TO face each other in the next
Republican National Convention, and II il
were left to popular vote to-day La Toilette
would be nominated, and easily. too. But,
unfortunately, the Presidential preference
Vote has not reached this stage.
If however. Taft does secure the nomi-
nation. Republicans will be confronted with
a problem. II would do no good TO turn
Democrat. The Democratic party is more
ieactionary and il is split wider than the
nublicans therefore. would be confronted
with this alternative To remain within
the party and save IL from defeat while
working TO purify and improve II, or, If
they cannot bring themselves to vote for
Taft to join Progressive Democrats who
can support Wilson or any other candidate
and form a new party"
The Senator said he would choose 10 re-
main in the Republican party and work
with other Progressives

GERMAN MANGUVRES END
General Staff Converted to Belief
in Military Aviation.

Woldegk. Mecklenburg- Streltz. Sept. b
The imperial army manpuvres ended this
morning with tho complete defeat OF the
invaders, who had sought to how a way

caught in a conyerging attack by the two
corps OF Field Marshal Baron Won der
Goltz in command OF the defenders, and
severely handled.
Given the same conditions In actual war

eign army to regain the coast
The enemy, under Prince Friedrich Leo
poid. after a hurried retreat yesterday,
encamped for the night In crowded un-
favorable position. Won der Goltz gave
them no time to straighten their lines but
attacked vigorously AT daybreak. At 10
o'clock. when a signal from captive bal
loon announced that the manPuyres were

invaders enveoped their flank and beaten
off the counter attack b. which Prince
Friedrich Leopold had attempted TO re-

The princes unfortunate disposition OF
his artillery lightened the task of the de-
tenders and the commander OF the enemy
was also less skilful than Won der Goitz
i'm handling his cavalry. The cavalry
brigade Of the invaders was virtually use
less during the whole manPuvres. The
guard cavalry again made a spectacular
charge overwhelming the Empress's Own
Cuirassiers and taking a number Of guns.
The battle was fought I'm "A great natural

During the manpuvres this morning the

near the village Of Grossbeloft. The seven
men composing the crew saved themselves
by jumping as they neared the ground.
The accident appears TO have been due TO
a defective motor causing explosion in
