B. & o. RAIL REQUIREMENTS.


1t Is learned from an authentic
source that the rail requirements Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad fol
the new fiscal year will probably call
for between $1,000 and $4,000 tons Of
steel rales. representing an expendi,
ture of over sl,5OO,OOO. Inquiries
have already been Issued, and II Is
more than likely that the contract
Will be actually awarded some time
in the near future.
The order OF the Baltimore and
Ohio is usually distributed to mills
along It's lines. This will mean that
the Carnegie Steel Company, the
Cambria Steel Company and the Mary
land Steel Company viii figure In The
contract. {, s

BOUND TO COME.

Millions OF youngsters and some
elders are hoping and praying for
1snow before Christmas. 1t is bound
TO come. The sentiment OF the case
lis with the wishers, and the turn Of
the weather toward the temperature
and the conditions for the fluttering
fakes Is inevitable. The openness OF
the winter. thus far, the lack OF sub
stantian snowstorms will be made
good and the Christmas season is
bound to have some evidence OF
Wilderness. s'i,7'' Z i''Sl +ia''t
This confidence In the outlook is
born of the fact that a prognosticator
down in the cotton field section,
where snow seldom arrives, has pre-.
9sdlcted that before the coming OF
christmas the country will have wide
experiences OF SHOWS. Some sections
are already well supplied. 1t may be
the indiyidualrwas sleeping on snow
drift Of cotton balls when he ad this
vision, but 1t fits the yearnings of the
lftsltttleE folks land Others, and everybody
in.the normal snow bell believes there
will and must be some snow for
Christmas.
Some very serious fold believe 1t
only requires hard enough wishing
and enough doing the wishing to
make the earth white. So let all
who want snowfall for Christmas
get down to the hardest kind of wish.

subject. Such concentration should
bring about the desired precipitation.

Hame Throwed Off

Hame Peters met with unexpected
axident last Tuesday morning. Hame
has 2-year-old sorl colt which has
been feeling its oats this winter. being
as Hame has kept it in the stable most
of the time. So Hame he thought he
would take the colt out and exercise il
"a little and sort of tame it down, as you
might say, so he saddled and bridled il
along side of the fence and jumped on
its back and told it to kiddap, which was
sooperfluous. because as soon as Hame
Lit on its back the colt began to raise up
in front and then behind like a rockin
chair. keeping Hame terrible bizzy for
the time being. Hame would go up into
the air and as he was coming down
again he would meet the colt going up
and after he had met it a coupe OF
times Hame begin to feel like as if he
was split clean up to his collarband.
By and by the colt got tired of this
and started to run before Hame could
gather up the reins. 1t run about 1C0
yards, just as.hard as it could run, then
it stopped suddintly and Hame he went
over its head and dove into a deep snow
drift to the side of the road by the
time he got out of which the colt was
nowhere to be seen. The animal was
captured near the Co. seat by Brad
Hooker and led back to Bingville the
next day and returned to Hame. Hame
says if the colt wants any exercise here
after it will haft to get It in the stall,
because he'll be switched if he'll ride it
again until it gets over its friskiness.

The BINGVILLE BUGLE
The Leading Paper Of tAs County
Dsisht. Breezy, Bslleose, Dustlins

Well, here we be making a new
start on the first day of the new
year. The old year which closed
yesterday is now a thing of the
past, as you might say, and will 60
echoing down the musy corridors
of time, never to come again. You
can't bring back the year of 1910
again-nobody can do that. AS
editor and prop. of the Bingville
Bugle we can do most anything
within reason, but even we, with all
our strength and editorial influence
can't do a thing like that. No. it
has went never to return again, and
you might as we'll bid it goodby
forever.
If you amt made the most Of
your opportunities during the year
that has passed it won't do no good
now to set down and NOPE around
and whine and pine and become
filled with vain regrets becuz you
didn't take time by the forelock
when you had the chanst. ~
Somebody has said, "The mill
will never grind with the water that
has passed." and there is a good cal
of truth in it too. What has gone
has went and what is did can't be
undid. 1t is absurd and foolish and
almost ridiculous to waste your
time becuz you let the past year go
by without taking more advantage
of it than you done. The thing to
do now is to look forward full of
hope to the glorious opportunities
of the new year and whenever you
get chanct to take advantage of
a opportunity, do so without delay
time by the forelock, as it
were, and hold on to the forelock
even if you have to pull out a whole
handful of hair and thus render
Time baldheaded.
There amt no sense in a person
brooding about the past andiits only
lost time to do so. If You will re-
member the things you ought to do
in the future and then do EN- instid
of fooling away your time remem-
bering the things you ought to have
did in the past but didn't, you will
find that you won't come out so bad
in the long run after all. Don't
make no new resoolushions unless
you expect to live up to 'em. The
trouble with some folks is when
they come to make resoolushions
they bite of more than they can
chew. and the result is that January

Eggs Axtu! High

We can't remember when eggs was
ever so high in price in Bingville as
they be at present. Hen Weathersby,
prlo. of our general store, is no~ pay
ing 20 cts. per doz. for eggs. and h.
can't get enough to supply his custom
ers even at that enormous price. Mrs.
Ransom Tucker, while hunting eggs -
Gently come upon nest with eight nice
fresh eggs in, and imagine her disgust
and chagrin when she found that every
egg was froze and the shells busted.
Mrs. Tucker feels this financial loss
keenly, for If those eggs had been al
right she could have took them to Hens
store and got Is cts. cash or 20 ctA in
trade, If We have figured correctly.
