HOW ABOUT IT?
Do You Drink Tea?
Do You Appreciate A
Good Tea?
Here Is A Real
Bargain In Tea.

ltisn't a cut price
that makes it a bar
gain but it is the
quality of the tea.
Some teas would be
expensive at half the
price asked for them
but our L. j. |. tea
at 6Oc per ID. is
vastly different to
the ordinary tea for
which you would
pay SOC or less.
One teaspoonful
of i. j. |. tea con-
tains prac tic ally
twice as much tea
flavor as a table,
spoonful of any
cheaper tea-that's
what makes it such
a big bargain. A
pound Of it goes
much father than
most other teas,
besides being much
finer flavor. Con
sidering the slight
difference in price
between our u. j.
|. tea and ordinary
teas and the big
difference in quality
You can see for
yourself that it's a
bargain.

you a pound to-
morrow?

word to say in his paper for Bing-

In view of the facts set forth
above it behoofs you to be mighty
careful not to start any conflag-
rashion in Bingville at present.
Watch sharp in.the morning when
you are building a fire in the kit

out where you throw matches
after you light your pipe and don It
stir up the wood in the fireplace
too much so as a spark might
light on the shingles and set the
whole blamed house on fire.

We, take Our editorial pen in
hand on the present occashion to
sound a loud note of warning to
every citizen of Bingville, which
if it amt needed may lead to a
catastrophe, the like of which ain t
never happened in our midst and
which if it did happen, every self
respected citizen of this town
would wish it never to happen
again.
We refer to the scarcity of water.
We had a turrible dry fall with little
or no rain to speak of and cold
weather ketched US with scarcely
any water in the streams and
most of the wells without any
water to amount to anything in
same. AS aIesult water is scarcer
in Bingvi1le this winter than hens
teeth. A good many folks when
they want drink have to go and
melt snow or ice on the stove
and them as has a little water in
their wells won't let their nabers
partake of same. This is offul
state of affairs.
It wasn't the scarcity of water
which we started in to write
about, however, but the danger
of fire. Surprising for instance a
fire was to break out in our midst
at present, what would the Bing-
vile Fire Department fight it
with, if anything? We asked this
questshion of Jason Tucker, chief
of the Fire Department tother day
and Jase scratched his head and
said that was a hard questshion
to answer. 1t is hard enuff job for
the Bingvi1le Fire Department to
put out fire when water is plenty
and the general rule is that by
the time Jason Tucker finds the
key to the basement of the town
hall where the water pals is kept
and gets to the fire, the fire has
burnt itself out and whatever was
on fire is a total loss, and then
the members of the Fire Depart
ment dispense to their various
homes like as if they seen their
duty and done it to the best of
their several ability.
Six water pals and a ladder
which constitutes the Bingvi1le
Fire Department amt SIGH a
offul big department to fight a
fire with when water is plenty
and what would it be when there
amt no water7 It would be a offul

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
WOMEN'S BINGVILLB
BOOST CLUB
BY THE SECRETARY


Being as a year has went by sinst
US wimmen folks got our heads to-
gether an started the Bingville Boost
Club, have been picked as secretary
to persent for your consideration on
this ospishus occashion our first an
nual report to show what we have did
during the past year, if anything.
There was good cal of opposish-
ion to the Boost Club when it first
started from some of our husbings,
who seems to think that a woman's
sphere is staying at home and work
ing her fngernails most off washing,
ironing, scrubbing, housekeeping, ct
cetery, but we showed 'em different.
We stood up for our rights and by
using our rights and lefts we have
triumphkd glorious. Hen Weathersby,
wife of Sister Abigail Weathersby, for
bid his wife to attend the club and
once when we was in session Hen
come to the meetin' to take her home,
but we nearly scratched his eyes
outen his head and tore his clothes,
and Hen departed with more respect
for US than he had when he come.
The Boost Club has made many
improvements in Bingville sinst it
was started, espeshially in identifying
the town. 1t was through our efforts
that Cy Hoskins was indooced to
put two new pickets on the fence in
front of his house, which two said
piclets have been missing for 10,
these many years. If it hadn't been
for US Gabe johnson wouldn't of
painted his henhouse beautiful red,
and Hank Dewberry wouldn't of
shingled his barn. This coming year
we are going to make an effort to
pervent the best citizens of Bingville
from dumping rubbish into the town
well on the publick square, so that
the water will be more filter to drink
than it. is now.
We have also did what we could to
help pay off the back salary of Rev
.erend Samuel Moore, our beloved pas
tor of the Bingville church. Our pas
tors salary is $500 per annum and is
only back 8 years, but it's the general
opinion of the members of the Boost
Club that this is too fur back. We
passed a resolooshion that while sal
walton is free the church members ort
to be willin to pay the freight. So we
held several pie sociables the perceeds
to be give to the pastor. As result
we turned over to Rev. Moore on
the first day of the month perceeds to
the amount of $3.50 which Rev.
Moore received with thanks and said
with tears in his eyes that his only
regret was It wasn't several times as
much.
In view of the fact that Rev. Moore
was also hard up for clothes, his
pants being shiny at the knees and
patched behind and his coat out at
the elbows also, dear Sister Samantha
Deevers presented him with old
suit of clothes belonging to her hus-
bing. Jim Deevers. unbeknownst to
Jim.
Jim wouldn't OF never been the
wiser II he hadn't Of happened to
meet Rev. Moore With this suit on
IN the postoface a day or two later.
When Jim recognized his own clothes

liam until he chased them outen the
shop with a red hot iron in his hand,
before which they retired on the ran.
At the follering meeting the COM
mittee reported that Mr.. Hepburn's
case was hopeless.
The Boost Club don't have no regfa1
meeting place, being as the club meets
every Saturday afternoon ct the
home of some member who enter
tains, as you might say. The members
bring along their fancy work or knit
ting or their husbing's socks to darn
or something like that, thus combin-
ing business and industry. The after
noon Is spent in transacting business
and in discussing the shortcomings Of
members who amt present. About
2 o'clock P. NJ. In the afternoon .
lunch is served by the hostess after
which business is resumed, then the
meeting is adjourned about O'Clock
and all dispense TO their various homes
conscious of a afternoon well spent.
At some meetings the lunch served
is all that could be desired and then
it amt. Ali the members always hate
to meet at the home of dear Sister
Skimp, being as she never has enun
lunch to cheer the inner woman much
to speak of. At one meeting al that
Sister Skimp had TO eat was crackers,
cheese, cold tea and not even enough
of this to go round. On another CO.
cashion she served nine doughnuts
and seven apples to IA members with
water to drink. The water held out,
but the doughnuts and apples didn't,
and as a result several members who
didn't git nothing to eat but a glass
of water was so faint they could
scairsely git home. Sister Sdmp ort
to know that members of the Boost
Club can't be expected to transact
business with their heads unless they
have something in their stummiclcs.
In closing wish to state that We
expect to accomplish more this CON-
ing year than we have last year.
And why shouldn't wef" ask. We
are all full of Enthusiasm and nobility
of purpose. We are all conshious Of
the big responsibility which rests
On our shoulders. We are all deter
mined to do our duty and last but
not least we have 81 cents in the
treasury. Respectively submitted and

Doc Lvermore, our human spec
ialist and veterinary, made some new
pills tother day and took one hisself
to see what effect it would have on
him If any, and it made him sick as a

a new pill. he viii try it on somebuddy
else first.

on Rev. Moore he said, '+Them's my
clothes you're wearin, parson-take
'em off at once" Rev. Moore Of
course couldn't do this. He explained
to Jim. that the suit had been per-
scented to him by Mrs. Deevers and
then JimlTet the parson Reep the
clothes, bus he was purity mad about
it and scolded Samantha skandalous
when he went home. Sinst then Jim
has been wearing all the clothes he

them away to some worthy person.
Jim suffers awful from the heat on
mild days, but he says the only way
to keep any clothes to his back is to
wear EN-
All the members of the Boost Club
has also took solemn oath never to
wear a hobble skirt. Miss Amelia
Tucker, Bingville's raining society
queen, appeared at church services
tother Sunday in a hobb1e skirt and
made herself turrib1e ridicklus. It
took Amelia over half an hour to
walk from her home to the church
which is only jest acrost the road from
where she lives. When Amelia has
on that dreadful hobble skirt she
can't take steps more than three inches
long. There was some talk of voting
Amelia into the club before she went
and wore that dreadful contrapshion
of hobble skirt, but now Amelia will
never git into the Boost Club-never
1t is the unanimous opinion of the
members of the Boost Club that the
hobble skirt is too tite a fit for COM
fort and that it will never become
popular in Bingville.
Club the question come up as to
Women's Suffrage and whether or
not the club was in favor of it. Sister
Mehitabel Underwood riz up and
said she was agins't Women's Suffer-
age being as in her opinion women
suffered enuff as it was. When Sister
Peabody explained that Women's Suf-
ferage meant whether women should
vote or not, Sister Underwood said,
."Oh, goodness, is that what it means7'
and set down.
A standing vote was called for on
the questshion, but being as Sister
Polly Skinner voted on both sides of
the questshion a ballot was took and
the vote was a tie. Every member
present tried to talk at once and at
last a effort was made to settle the
questshion then and there by Whence.
After this effort was over the quest
shion still remained unsettled and the
members dispersed to their various
homes in deep disgust, leaving the
floor covered with hairpins, switches
and other articles of personal adorn-
men too numerous to menshion.
Sister Peabody had her hat ruined,
Sister Jones shirt waist was tore up
the back, Sister Perkins had her
hair pulled so vilent that she went to
bed with a sick headache and Sister
Skinner had her face scratched by
some member unknown to her, but if
she finds out who it was she says she
will retaliate at the first opportunity.
Owing to the different views held
by the members on the questshion
of Women's Suffrage it has been de-
cided not to bring up the subject
again, but for each member to settle
the matter according to the dictates
Of her own conschience.

Army Worm on Cotton.

The army worm is said to exist in
considerable numbers.in Noxubee. Mr..
John c. Cavett reports that there are
a great many in his section of the prai-
ries and unless something is done soon
that they will do great damage to cot
ton. He is preparing to poison them on
his place.
1t is said that the army worm is al
ways with US here but that a small red
parasite that inhabits the cotton preys
or the eggs and thus keeps the number
of the army worm down. A rainy July
or August destroys the parasite and
and thus the worms increase.
Our farmers should examine their
cotton and see to it that the ravanges
of the army worm is kept down,
