ed among our most respected citi-
zens and called an indignashion
meeting in the town hall, which oc-
CURED on Thursday ev'g and was
largely attended. Cy Hoskins pre-
sided at this meeting and made a
few opening remarks in which he
stated it was the object to find out
what the sentiment was as to this
high-handed step which the Bing-
vile Board Of Trade had took to
have Main street paved. Then Cy
set down.
Bige Barker jumpt up and said
he wasn't in favor of the scheme
being as he didn't think it was nee
essary. Bige said that in summer
time when the roads was good we
didn't need no paved street and
what was the use of having it in
the winter time, being as then the
street was covered with ice and
snow to the depth of foot or two
anyhow. Hen Weathersby desired
to know how much it would cost to
pave Main street, whereup Arioch
Skinner, chairman of the B. of T.,
riz up and said they had figured it
would cost about $4,000. Hen then
said, being as there was only Sis
in the town treasury, how was the
balance to be raised, and Ariocf
said by taxashion, of course.
AS soon as Arioch said this, con-
sternashion reigned soopreme at
the meeting. Everybody present
riz up as one man and shook their
fists at the Board of Trade and told
EN- that they would not pay one
cent in taxashion to have Main
street paved, being as the taxes was
too high now. Cy then put the
questshion to a vote and all those
present except the members of the
Board of Trade voted that there
would be no paving in Bingville
now or hereafter. Cy then adj
dressed the Board of Trade and
told EN- that he calkilated it would
be good thing if they dropped
the matter, unless they desired to
be kicked outen office and regarded
as traitors to the town. after which
the meeting was adjourned and
everybuddy dispersed in deep dis
gust. 1t is our opinion that this
incident ort to teach the Board OF
Trade not to be too Jealous in per
forming their duties.

The Bingville Board of Trade,
consisting of Arioch Skinner,
chairman of the organization, and
Slime Wilkins and Plutarch Wat
kins, assistants, have held two or
three secret meetings recent to dis
cuss something mysterious which
they didn't appear to want other
folks to know about. The first
meeting was held in the back end
of Hen Weathersby's store, where
the Board of Trade got their heads
together. Being as they talked in
whispers those present in tother
end of the store couldn't hear a
word, although they craned their
necks and listened very attentive
This meeting was follered by an
other meeting in Arioch SINNERS
residence last Tuesday night, which
was also a secret sesshion. Mrs.
Skinner says they shut theirselfs
up in the spare bedroom and locked
the door and although she listened
at the keyhole she couldn't hear a
word that was said. After the
meeting was over she told Arioch
that being as he was her lawful and
legal husband she didn't think it
was right to keep anything from
her like that, but Arioch wouldn't
divulge what had been discussed
behind closed doors.
Nacherly these secret meetings
has created a good cal of talk and
as editor and prop of the Bingville
Bugle we took it on ourself to dis
cover if possible what was up, so
we cornered Arioch in the P. 0.
tother day and asked him, face to
face, for explanashion. We told
him that whatever the Board of
Trade was contemplating ought to
be publick property, being as they
was merely servants of Bingville,
so to speak, and that unless he told
US what they was up to, we would
not hesitate to have him arrested
and put on the witness stand, where
he would be obliged to swear under
oath what these secret meetings
was about.
This threat on our part scairt
Arioch until he growed pale and
confessed that the Board of Trade
had been considering the advisa-
bility of having the main street of
Bingville paved. AS soon as the
cat was outen the bag, we circulss-

SKANDAL!
That's What Rappend in Our Midst
Last Wensday Morning Which
Is a Disgrase to BiDgViIIe---
Hen Wilson Was the ViCktim of
the SkandaI

On last Wednesday morning the quiet
and serenity of our peaceful village
was a good cal disturbed by a skandal
which sinst then has been the sole top
ick of conversation.
On the above morning about 8 a. m,
Reverend Moore, orr beloved pastor OF
the Bingville church, was on his way
down Main street to the P. Q. to ascer-
tain if there was any mail for him or
not. As Reverend Moore meandered
along the street bordering on the wick
cdness there is in this world and prob
ably wondering whether or not he
would ever get his back salary, he
found hisself opposite the residence of
Hen Wilson. Suddenly the front door
opened and Hen busted forth with a
loud screech on his lips, follered by a
shower of plates and tin pans, including
a broom, a floor-mop, rolling pin and
sad iron which jest grazed his left
ear, which if it had struck him on the
back of the head would more than likely
have fractured his skull
Hen dashed past Reverend Moore
,are headed and without any explana-
llion, and when he was out in the mid
de of the street and got his bearings,
h. run like a deer until he disappeared
away down the road in a cloud of dust.
Closely follerin Hen outen the house
cone Sarah Ann, his wife, who was
nader than a wet hen, being as it was
her who throwed the deadly missiles
ate her husband When Reverend
More saw what a oful state of agita-
shiol Sarah Ann was in he tried to
pacir her and calm her down. MY
BELOVED sister" says Reverend Moore,
YOU conduct is unseemly on this occa-
shlor 1t grieves me greatly, Sarah
Ann, TO see YOU lose your temper in
this manner. Don't forget Sister Will
son, nat she who ruleth her temper is
create than her who taketh a city"
'Yo needn't call me YOUR beloved
sister oecuz l amt" snapped Sarah
Ann, she walked up to Reverend
Moore and shook her fist under his
nose. reverend Moore kind of growed
pale arund the gills and backed off,
but Sara Ann follered him up, until he
tripped yer the edge of the sidewalk
and set lown in the ditch. Jest then
Seth DeJberry, our lion hearted town
constable, arrived on the scene. Stand
ing off ati safe distance Seth polished
up his bage and told Sarah Ann he
would hav to put her under arrest for
disturbing he peace unless she quieted
down.
I'D liketo see you arrest me, YOU
little runtp said Sarah Ann, and with
that she nde a dash for Seth, who
turned and I'D as hard as he could flee.
Seth didn't top until he reached his
own resldene, which he entered and
bolted the doris after him.
The troubl all started betwixt Hen
and Sarah An when he went and set
down on ner fancy sofa pillow which
his wife has len working on for some
time and had est finished and throwed
onto the sofa see how il would look
Hen, like laned fool, come along
and sQuashed 1sself right down into it.

when Hen don that she begin to throw
at him everything she could lay her
hands on and civ him from the house
