When you strike the village you strike the hog. Is an old saying among those who drive about There may be ordinances against him, but they can not be enforced. The hog is turned loose to make the village picturesque, and he never quits his job until called upon to tll the pork barrel
 The village of Stamford had It's hogs and It's mudhOles to comfort them. Sam Harris was one of the fifty hog own CTS, and when he died he left his wid- ow a house and lot and a hog It wasn't a porEer in a pen, but a hog that was running at large around the streets Of the village It was against the ordinance for live stock Co run at large, but everybody felt sorry for Sans widow, and the hog was not dis turbed. It was only when Josiah Flint was made village marshal that the old black pOrker was driven or to the pound one day. There were folks that said it was right and folks that said ft was wrong. and there was so much feeling about it that after two or three days a public meeting was called. There was a biz turnout and the first speaker was Squire FHtbuSh The squire always starts every one of bis speeches with the landing of the pil grlms and gradually works down.
 Abraham Fuller came next Abe had an undeIlvered Fourth of July address that be had been holding on to for sev- eral years, and he had determined to ring it in on this occasion.

haddent been for us squirting on
our citizens to their duties of citi-

the best interests of the town &

It is our duty as edditor of the

What we desire to say in this IS

Hen askt Cy how much he had been

says Cy, "and the theef who tux it

Cy looked at Bill Hepburn, our arts

he got up and walked over to Cy and

There be other marked improve
ments in Bingville which we could
name but it amt necessary.
Now take the other side of the
questshion:
Brad Hinsley's house needs a
coat of paint which it has needed
for II yrs. AS a matter of fackt
Brad's house amt got emmy paint
on it tall being as it has all peel
ed off. Then there is Deacon But
terworth's addishion to his kitchen
which was beginned four yrs ago.
They got as far as putting up the
studs and there the work stopt
and there hasn't been a lick done
on that addishion sinst. It is a reg
lar eyesore to Bingville. Hank
Petersby started to bid a barn IL
yrs ago and got the foundashion
started and that's all that has been
did.
What is the blamed use of some
folks maxim improvements in Bing-
vile if Others hangs back and don't
do their share, we ask? What eff
feckt does it have to build new
henhouse, or single a roof or put
new pickets on a fence if other
folks lets their premises go to rack
& ruin?
The sooner some of Our citizens
wakes up to this turrible state of
