Goodness grachious, here we've

birthday-and now Georges birth
day has went and got past us and
is a part & parcel of the great be-
yond which can newer be recalled,
but has went & goned forever!
We calkilate we ort to say some
think about G. Washington's birth
day in this ishue of the Buggle even
if it is gone by, being as there is a
hole lot of truth in that motto, 1T
is better newer than late" SO here
goes. (However, our remarks will
be breef.)
G. Washington was a great man
he was one of the greatest men
which ever lived in his day or has
sinst for that matter - he was a
greater man than Bingville has
ever perdooced-he was bigger
man than Cy Hoskins is even (even

We don't keer a hang about the
So (and no cts.) witch is involved,
but its the principle of the thing
which we keer about.
G. Washington was not only the
greatest man who ever lived when
he did, but he was also the Father
of his Country. We persoom there
be them in Bingville who are SO
ignorunt that they don't know that
George was the Father of His
Country & if that's so we feel sorry
for them, but He was, and that's
all there is to it, and we've got the
fackts to proove it.
