EDITORIAL

This is one of those days when
II seems to Us as If the last thing
In the world that we wanted to do
or could do is to write a edditoriel
on any subjeclct whatsoever. There
isn't anything clarnnering in our
mind for utterance, so to speak,
and we feel kind of tired and lazy
and unable to think about amy
thing in partickuler.
This has happened so many many
times Of late that we are beginning
to get discouraged. We sit up
here at Our desk and look down al
Main St. with its evidences OF
peaceful quiet life. We see Sim
Wheeler's hound dog come into
view and sit down and meditatively
scratch hisself behind the ear with
his left foot and then pass on to his
favvorite sleeping spot beneath the
steps of the P. o. Then we gaze
langwidly at the spot where he dis
appeared, thinking of nothing, until
the hound dog emerdges from be-
Meath the steps of the P. o. and
slowly walks back up Main St
whence he came.
This is our only source of in

The weather are getting a lot cold

veral more hot lays before snow flies.
Jim Hendrick-, our Oldest inhabitant,

when Gootehic Pond friz up on Oct.
6, which was followed by hot spell
in which the merkury went up to l03.
There are no weather these days, no
matter what kind, that can come up to
the weather when Jim was a boy.
Mrs. Henderson, who is one of Bing-
ville's most handsome widows, opened

room one day last wk. to give them
the regular airing before closing them
up for the winter.
Miss Lulu Andrews, who substituted
in the choir last Sun in place of Miss
Phebe Hilderbrand is suffering from a
quincy sore throat partly caused on
acct of taking high note in Rock
of Ages" and having her voice slip on
her and go several notes higher than
she intended and spraining her voice
quite bad. If Miss Lulu could only get
her voice to stop slipping around that
way, she would be one of our best
singers

and when it comes time for him to
eat, he gifts up and goes out, and 10,
before he knows it he has raked
hisself up meal that nourrishes
and sustains him for the battle of
life. He is as well-nourrished as
if he had spent the entire morning
IN growing and snarling and wear
ing hisself out worriting where that
meal was to come from. It might
have been a more nourrishing meal
had he Worried around, but we
doubt it. The lesson which we wish
OUR townspeople to draw from this
is that they ought to go gaily and
happily about their daily tasks,
without presenting to their friends
and relatives a glum and sour coun-
tenants bekause they are worritine
whether Cy Hoskins is going to
foreclose their morgidge on them
tomorrow or not. We do not wish
people to learn from this that they
should sleep between meals like
Sim Wheeler's hound dog.
We will finish with the green fly
that has been buzzing around our
paste bucket and annoying US con-
Siderable of late. This fly has
been a inhibbitant of Our office all
summer long, GLIDING our efforts to
smack him with Incredible inge-
nuity. This fly does nothing ex-
sept to stand around head-down on
the ceiling when nobody is in the
office, and buzz distracktingly
around when ANYONE does come
in. He has no uses. He cannot
chase rabbits like Sim Wheelers
dog, and taking him all in all he is
mean and ornery and useless and
annoying. He does not work for
his living, butts sits around the cell
ing and tables, washing his wings
with his hind feet and waiting for
people to come in and be annoyed.
What will be the end of this fly
Well, as soon as cold weather is
really here, he will stiffen up and
drop often the ceiling and clutter
up our paste bucket or Our ink well.
Nobody will cry bekause he is
gone; nobody will sing his praises.
He was a loafer, and such is the
end of all loafers.
The lesson to be learnt from this
is that people should work hard
and not bother or annoy other peo-
pie as does the fly. If they do,
they will get themselves disliked

Seth asked him what in tarnsshion was

Seth to the fullest extent of the law.
Meanwhile the bull had found the re-
volover which Seth had dropped in his
haste to climb the tree, and had paved
it all to pieces. When Seth was finally
rescued, he said he was ding-busted glad
that the bull had paved il, and that
hereafter he was going to trust to his

Shooting!
Seth Dewberry Causes Intents Ex-
element With fiis Revolver
His Shots 90 Wild and so Does
Some Others, as FoIlersI

Seth Dewberry, our lion-hearted
constable, caused intents excitement
throughout Bingville last Saturday af-
ternoon, although the only thing he cal
culated to do was to show his mastery
over the littel wsepon known as the re-
volover.
For a long time Seth has been carry
ing this REVOLVER around in his pants
pocket for the purpose Of intimmidar-
ing and even punctshuring any male
/ facktors or hends in human shape that
undertook to disturb the life of our
peaceful community. Some time ago
he shot shots at a chicken with this
REVOLVER to see how good he was with
it, but the chicken was not hit seriously,
and Seth was obliged to chase after it
and put an end to it with a axe.
| So on Saturday Seth determined to
practise with this REVOLVER until he be-
come prohshient and exact in the use of
t, as you might say.
| He marked off circle on the door of
/ his barn, and then he loaded the re-
volver and took posishion ten #. from
the barn door. He pulled back the ham
mer, and examined it closely, shielding
the hammer with his hand so as It
wouldn't go off. Sort of unconsciously
he got to fddling with the trigger and
the first thing he knowed the hammer
| had descended with horrible force onto
| his thumb. Never, says Seth, had he
knowed such excrooshiating pain. He
| hollered and tried 10 drop il, but his
thumb was pinched and he couldn't
Finally he become calm and raised the
hammer and drew out his thumb when
suddenly the hammer descended again
i and the REVOLVER went of with loud
report and the bullet bored hole right
through Seth's beard, which hasn't
been cut for some mos.
| This angered Seth considerably,
and he made up his mind then and there
that he would master the blamed thing
or know the reason why.
! He loaded up the empty chamber of
the REVOLVER and carefully pinted il
straight at the circle on the barn door.
! 1t is a self-cocking REVOLVER, so Seth
then pulled the trigger rapidly five times.
There was five loud reports, and from
the cloud of smoke emerdged Seth,
running rapidly towards the circle on
the barn door to see what damadge had
been did.
To his astonishn1ent and disgust he
had not hit the barn door even, nor the
barn itself, so far as he was able to
discover.
Loading the revolover again, Seth
retreated seven steps from the barn
door and rested the revolver on the
limb Of a young sapling that grows in
his barnyard. This time he cooked the
revolver, took careful aim, and fred

During his teething period, his
