The Leading Paper Of the County
Bright. Breezy. Bellieo... Bu.eIing

There was turrible excitement in
Bingville last week when it was
rumored that if favorable indooce-
ments could be offered. big manu-
featuring plant would be built in
our midst. As editor and prop of
the Bingville Bugle, we went right
to Cy HosEins, chairman of the
Bingville Board of Trade, the 9TH
er two members being Joe Hines
and Bill Simns and asked Cy if
this was correct. Cy told us yes,
it was, being as gentleman named
Rufus Snagsby, from the Co. seat
was talking of starting up a cooper
shop here, and had even went so
fur as to look over the ground the
week before. Cy said that him and
the other members of the B. of T.
would probably meet in Hen
Weathersby's store some ev'g soon
to take acshion in bringing this in
dustry to Bingville. We told Cy
that we thort mass meeting of all
Bingville citizens ort to be held in
the Town Hall, open and above
board, to discuss the matter, and at
last Cy gave in, so the meeting was
held last Tuesday ev'g, which was
largely attended by the best citi-
zens of Bingville, including many
i of their wives and children, not to
say anything of several dogs which
also attended. Mr.. Snagsby was
present.
The meeting was persided over
by Mr.. Hoskins, who announced
that its purpose was to decide
whether or not Bingville desired a
cooper factory. Then he sat down.
Deacon Butterworth riz up and de-
sired to know what the capacity of
the cooper factory would be. Mr..
Snagsby then said If rushed he
might turn out two barrels or two
barrels and one-half per day. Hank
Dewberry wanted to know how big
the cooper factory would be and
how many hands it would give en-
lployment to. Mr.. Snagsby said that
most any old vacant shop would
make a cDod factory and that he
would give employment to hisseli

Zeke Snodgrass didn't happen to notice
tree near the fence, the lower limbs
of which scraped Zeke right often the
horses back and skun up his face con-
siderable. This scairt the horse, which
never stopped until it reached Bing-
vile, and Zeke had to walk home-nine
miles.
Well, to make a long story short,
after the fox had been chased up hill
and down dale all day until it was about
tuckered out and when the dogs was
most on top of it, as you might say,
who should happen to see that fox
coming except Alb Snider, who lives
away over near Pea Ridge and hap
pened to be out back of his house with
a old shot gun to see if he could scare
UP rabbit, so Alb up with the gun and
blazed away and killed the fox deader
than a door nail, which he picked 10
and started to lug home.
When the fox hunters come up they
called Alb everything they could lay
their tongues to and Alb called them
twice everything they called him and
told EN- if they didn't get right often
his land he would have everyone of EN-
arrested for trespass.
AS a result the hunters wended their
weary way toward Bingville, conscious
of a day spent in vain. They figure
that they travelled about os miles only
to have the fox shot right under their
very noses by Alb.

IWeathersby, prop of our general
store, was also dead set against it.
Hen said if any person started to
manufacture barrels in this vicinity,
what would he do with his old
empty barrels, which he sometimes
gets as much as SO cents a piece
for per each7 Lem Brown said he
was in favor of the cooper factory,
being as he had stable left which
would be jest the place for it and
which he would rent cheap to Mr..
Snagsby. AS editor and prop of
the Bugle we fearlessE declared
ourself in favorCof the factory, be-
'cuz it would increase the popula-
shion of the town by one and per-
haps Mr.. Snagsby might possibly
become a subscriber to the Bugle.
Then the matter went to vote
and everybuddy present voted
against the factory coming to town
except Lem Brown and ourself,
who stood out strong in favor of it.
After the meeting Mr.. Snagsby left
Bingville in deep disgust, stating
that he would go elsewhere with
his cooper factory. 1t would not
surprise us at all if Hardscrabble
would get this cooper factory.

trying to amount to anything so

obstacles in the path of progress?
