school last Friday afternoon to note
what progress the scholars is making,
if any, Jed Peters, our intelligent
school teacher, give them all seats and
then perceeded to call up the classes to
show the board how much he has
learnt the pupils. The school board ex-
pressed themselves as much pleased
with the recitations. Deacon Butter
worth asked little Tommy Barker how
many two and two was and Tommy
answered "Fourw almost as quick as
scat. Cy Hoskins then asked little Mar
tha Gookins how much nine times eight
is and Martha says 81 and Cy patted
her on the head and told her that was
correct ana that she was turrible
smart little girl for her size. Jed then
interrupted Cy and told him that nine
times eight wasn't 81, but II, and Cy
wanted to know what business it was of
Jed's to tell him, man twice as old as
he Oed) was how many times nine
times eight was. Cy said he didn't per-
nit any whipper snapper of school
teacher to tell him how many nine
times eight is. Cy said nine times eight
might be II nowadays, but when he
went to school nine times eight was 81

strickly to his own business when the

The board then took their departure.

Bright, Breezy, Bellicose, Bustlin.

Old Dad Henderson perdicks
that we will have a early spring
this spring, but what does old Dad
Henderson know about whether we
will have a early spring or not :
He don't know nothin and Dad
has demonstrated that he don't
know nothing time and time again
when he gets to perdickting what's
going to happen in the future.
Dad prides hisself on being a
powerful weather profit and he has
missed his perdickslluns SO much in
the past that Bingville folks has
got in the habit of expecting jest
the contrary of what Dad says will
occur. For instance, when Dad
says we're agoin to have a long
wet spell folks hereabouts gener-
ally prepares for a drouth and be-
gins to econonize in their use of
water, and if Dad says we're agoin
to have a fair day, you will see
Bingville folks carrying umbrellas.
Early last fall Dad said we was
agoin to have open winter becuz
the goose bone was thin in the
flange, the bark wasn't tight on
the trees, the squirrels wasn't stor-
ing away as many nuts as usual
and cows tails didn't have as much
hair on them as customary. Well,
what is the result? The result is
that whereas Dad said we would
have a open winter we have had a
close winter it has been colder
than zero in Bingville for weeks
and everything is froze up tighter
than a bung.
Mel Sampson on the strength of
what Dad said only cut half as
much fire wood as he otherwise
would of cut, and now Mel's burned
up all his wood to keep from freez-
ing to death and has to borrow
wood from his neighbors. Mel says
if Dad wasn't so old and INDECENT,
he would give him a dog-blamed
good walloping for misleading him
like that and that only Dads gray
hairs save him. as you might say.
When Dad heard that Mel had
said this, he got :madder than a
wet hen and pranced around the
stove in Hen Weathersby's store,
and struck it with his cane until
he broke his cane. Dad said he
wasn't so spry as he used to be,
but he was still man enough to lick
Mel with both hands and feet tied
behind him.

so he said to let it 60 until he took the

anything that worries Amelia it is to

Sam she was ashamed to have him 20
out of the house, being the neighbors
would think she was shiftless If she
couldn't keep her husbands pants
patched for him. Sam said he'd be
