way of candydate until this year Sew
eral wks ago, however, Yves Woodruff,
our expert hunter and trapper announced
that he was a going to run for town
constubble and then Seth begin to work
hard for votes.
Yves said he calkilated he'd make
better town constubble of Bingville than
Seth would, being as he was hunter &
trapper and had been for many yrs, and
that he was of the. opinion that emmy
buddy who could ketch foxes ort to be
able to ketch criminals. Yves also said
he was a more surer shot than Seth,
being as he could hit tin can with
rifle bullet at 100 yards almost every
shot-if he had a rest and took aim
long enuf. Seth yrs ago shot at
stuffed dummy which looked like man,
which Hen Weathersby fxd up outside
his hen house to look like a chicken
theef and fool Seth with, and when
Seth shot at the dummy he wassent
moren 10 # off-he shot 5 shots and
didn't hit the dummy onct, he was so
nervous. Wei. Yves used this aginst
Seth in his politikal campaign for con-
stubbie.
Yves said he was turrible brave and
not a coward like Seth was when. it
come to facing deth and that onct The
had walked right up TO bear in one
of his traps and slapped its nose for
IT, that's how brave he was. Also that
he had faced skunk only fl. distant
and he thort ennybuddy who would take
chance like that was hero.
Seth tried to coax Yves not TO run
aginst him. Seth told Yves that insid
of running for constubble he ort to run
for a member of the Board of Helth,
being as there was more homer in that
than in being constubble, and Yves had
about made up his mind to do this when
the other members of the B. of II.
told Yves that he couldn't never git
elecl1ted to the B. of H. and assochi-
ate with sIunks as he had did in the
past and sometimes be perfumed up
for wks at time-they told Seth, that
it didn't become a member Of the Bing-
vile B. of H. to give off a odor like
skunk and that there had been times
in the past when the Bingville Board of
Helth, if they had did their duty, would
of investigated him (Wes) and declared
him a publick noosance he smelt that
turrible. Thereupon Yves he resolved
to continue to run for constubble.
But in spite of all the votes Yves could
git Seth we re-elclted constable of
Bingville. Yves says he can prove be-
yond shadder of doubt that Seth
voted for hisself at least six times dur
ing the day in the names of certain
parties who was entitled to vote but
wassent present-Seth admitted he cast
these six votes, but he said he done il
by what be calls proxy, whatever that
is. Not only that, but Yves says he
can prove that Seth went to certain
Bingvile citizens and asked them 70
vote for him and when they said they
was agoing to vote for Yves Seth told
EN- that If they didn't vote for him
(Seth) he would git eleckted ennyhow
and then he'd trump up some charge or
other on EN- and arrest EN- and bring
EN- to trial and prove EN- guilty and
like as not send EN- to jail for lifel As
a result many Of our most respeckted
citizens voted for Seth who didn't want
to and Il went aginst their conshiences
& principles turrible, but what is con-
shience & principle compared with life
imprisonment, we aski No think, we
answer.
To make long story short Seth Dew
berry was eleckted town constubble of
Bingville Tor another yr. by his high
handed methods. Seth seems to think
that nobuddy else in Bingville has
right to be town constubble but him.
Goodness sakes, why he sclzts almost
as tyrannickal & impsrialistick as some
OF the crowned heads of Yurrip, he
doesI Seth Dewberry had better look
out and come down often his high horse.
This is free country were living in and
not nonarky and the soon Seth Dew
berry conduckts hisself according, the
better it'll be for him. A WORD TO
