blood poison. Anne said he hoped
it would - that blood poison
wouldn't be emmy too good for a
chicken theef.
These is only two instances of
menny we could tell about of hen
roosts being robbed in Bingville or
vicinity. Nobuddy knows for
shure who the thief is, but of
course everybuddy has their own
suspishions. 1t is knowd for
fackt that Sim Gool1ins of this
town has been for some time past
maxim reglar weekly trips to the
CO seat and has sold there chickens
drest & undrest. This is nacherly
1eetle mite strange & unaccount-
able, as you might say, when every
buddy knows that Sim don't raise
no chickens hisself, and the ques-
ton arises, "Where did Sim git all
these chickens to SELF" Also, why
don't Sim sell his chickens around
Bingville instid of haulin EN- clean
to the co seat?" Also, ''Why does
Sim allus leave Bingvi11e with his
spring wagon all curtained in, so
as a person cant see what he is
takin to market ?"
Of course we woodnt like to say
that Sim Gookins got these chik-
kens which he is selling unlawful,
but if he diddent git EN- unlawful
how else did he git 'em ?-that's the
questshion. And we amt the only
one who thinks that, either. In
other words, this chicken theefng
has got to come to abrupt stop.
1t has went fur enuff and if it
continues somebuddy in this town
will git theirse1f tarred & fethered
& probably rode on rail into the
bargain. A word to the wise is
suffishent.

Cold for October

When Eph Higgins our accommodate
ing P. M. was sweeping out the ?. O..
tother morning he happend to glance at
the thermometer and to Ephs turrible
surprise it registered degrees below
zero. Eph thort he must be mistaken,
so he TUX off his specs and wiped the
dust often EN- and put EN- on agin and
TUX another look, but there was the tIg-
gers right before his Ease & eyes-o
degrees below zero.

was so alfred hot he could skeercely
live in it.

in for his mail and asked Eph what
the blamenashion he had a fire for
and he pinted to the thermometer. The
Deacon examind it and discovered it had
been broke and that most all the mer-
curry had run out at the bottom which
is why it registered SO low.
Eph was purity mad when he dis
cuvered how he had been fooled. He
ierked off his overcoat, and opend the
doors and winders and outened the fire
and cooled things off so sudden that
now Ephs got a turrible cold in his
chest which he calkilates will hang to
him all winter.
Eph grabbed that thermometer and
throwd it as far as he could throw it.
Hen Weathersby wanted to sell Eph
another thermometer but Eph says he
done with the pesky things being as
they're a nuisance and don't tell the
truth when they ort to.

desires to change his perdickshion Jim
says he has went and consulted all his

bark on the trees tell him and the thin
ness of the goosebone, he is of the
opinion that instid of having a hard
winter we will have mild open winter
We make this change in Gids per-
dickshion with great cheer and con-
graduate him on being man enuff to
acknowledge he was in the wrong if
he thort so. Gid amt much of a profet
however. We have notised in the past
that when he perdicked a hard winter
we had mild one and that when he
perdickted a mild winter. we had
vice versa one, so we therefore calIilate
we will have hard winter this winter
unless Gid changes his mind agin
which he is liable to do being as he is

EDDYTORIIu.

A astonishing number of felo-
nouns depredashions has been com
mitted on the henroosts of Bingvi1le
of late, and as result we take our
eddytoriul pen in hand to write a
skathing eddytoriul about same and
to denounce the culprits as they de-
serve.
We hope what we have to say
wont fall on def ears and not be
took no notise of like water on a
ducks back, for instants, but we
hope that Seth Dewberry, our lion
hearted town constubble, will rise to
this ospisfus occashun with all the
detectiff energy he possesses and
run these fends in human form to
earth dead or alive.
The last hen roost to be robbed
in Our midst was that of Cy Hos
l1ins, our well known townsnnan.
On last Thursday night sometime,
a theef or theefs broke into Cys
henhouse and carried off 10 pull
lets, inclooding roosters. When Cy
discovered his loss next morning,
which he done when he went to
feed the chickens, he notified Seth
Dewberry what had happened to
him, and Seth he polishd up his
constubble badge and loaded up
his six shooter and visited the hen
house and spent hour or two
lookin for clews, after which he
nounced that the chicken theefs
who TUX them chickens must be old
hands at the bizness, being as they
diddent leave him one blamed
clew to work on, after which Seth
went home in deep disgust.
Its only been about wk ago
sinst Anne FIillyer, our loryer &
legal lite, was robbed of IA ctik-
kens. AS in the case of Cy Hos
kins, no clews was left. Anne he
said he fix them chicken theefs or
know the reason why, so he went
and borrowed a old shot gun from
Yves Woodruff, our expert hunter
& trapper. Anne had lots of pow
der, but he diddent have no shot,
so he put in big charge of powder
and then on top of that handful
of old carpet tacks which he found
layin around. Anne set with that
gun in his hands four nights where
he could command a good view of
the henhouse, but the theefs did
dent show up, and finally Anne
stopd it and slept four days in sue
oeshion to make up for the sleep
he had lost.

Anne he ort to be keerful, being as
