About every so often somebody
ups and asks us what is the mean
ing if anything of the motto which
for 10 these many years has been
printed at the top of the Bugle,
reading as follows: "Inergia Fatum
Parit."
Only last week Hen Weathersby,
prop of our general store, asked
what we kept printing SIGH a con-
glonerashion Of words at the top
of the Bugle week after week fol-
and if they had any particular sig
ni6cance, and what was it anyhow
I'VE told Hen we was amazed,
shocked and surprised that he
would admit he was so ignorant he
didn't know what ''Inergia Fatun
PART" meant and when he kept in
sisting on finding out we refused
to throw any light whatever on the
subjeckt for two reasons. In the
first place, we allus believe in folks
working out SIGH mysteries for
theirselfs, and in the second place,
while we knowed what "Inergia
Fatum PART" meant once, it had
kind of slipped our memory, as you
might say, so we decided until we
could have time to ascertain the
meaning Of same it would be better
for US as editor and prop of the
Bugle to maintain a dignihed 81
lence, which we done.
Hank Dewberry, who was pres
ent in the store at the time, said he
lmowed what it meant, and wher
asked what, Hank said: ''Inergia
Fatum Parit" meant in Latin, EN-.
ergy fattens the parrot" but no.
buddy believed him and when Hank
said that he only made hisself RI
dickulus to everybuddy present
land what does Hank Dewberry
know about Latin? We reply with
|great emphasis: ''Nothin' r
J AS soon as we left the store, VIZ
hunted up Reverend Samue
Moore, our beloved pastor, and
asked him what it meant. Reverend
Moore, who knows considerable
Latin, told US that "Inergia Fatun
PART" means Energy begets sue.
cess" SO that's what it means, ane
we trust that hereafter you will
allus remember and not com.
around Fostering US to find on
