EDDYTORIUL

If our eddytoriul memry serves
US eorreckt we amt so far wrote a
eddytoriul on "Ottum" up to the
present writing this Fall, and so we
take our pen in hand to do that
same without further delay.
It has allus been our custum to
write a eddytoriul on Fall jest as it
| Is our eustun1 to write one on
Spring as reglar as Spring & Fall
comes around, and we shall not de-
part from our ushual custum on-this
oecashien.
There is all the more reason why
we should write a eddytoriul on
l"Ottum" on this ospishus occashion
being as Miss Sally Hoskins, our
talented poet writer has at our
ernest & respected solisitashion lust
dasht off porne entitled "Ottum"
for publicashion in the Boogle. &
| it is fitting that our Eddytoriul &
Sally's pome both on the same sub
jeckt should appear in this colIum
in concunckshion & simultanus.
We have been at Sally for the
past several wks to dash us off a
pome on Ottum, but Sally, like all
other geniusses, says that she got
to wait for inspirashion. In other
words you cant crowd genius-you
haft to let it take its time and when
it gifts good & reddy then it will
take its pen in hand and do justice
to the subject whatever it NAV be.
We have a good cal of genius
ourself, but we have teached it to
know its place and to come to us
when we whissel for it :nstid of
hanging back to suit itself. When
1t comes to writing eddytoriuls for
the Boogle we can't lounge back in
a easy chair like Sally Hoskins and
wait for inspirashion-if we did
there wouldn't be no eddytoriuls in
the Bugle and like as not we would
starve to deth being as if we had to
wait for inspirashion we calkilate
we would haft to wait a turrible
long spell. In other words we have
teached our genius to come when
called and git bizzy on the job.
However. let US perdoose as fol-
lers Sally Hoskins' turrible booti-
full & pathetiek pome on "Ottuma--

Doc Livernore, our perfeshienal
horse docktor & human speshialist, says
that the Stork will VISIT certain fam
billy in Bingville before another ishue
of the Bugle comes out. We think we
know who Doc means, but the less said
about it the better until the happy event
has eliminated. Any further mentchion
of this affair at this time would be
prematoor & out of place. Well, this
will make one more inhabitant for
Bingville-our populashion is steadily
increasing.
Cy Hoskins went to sleep in church
last Sunday jest before the eontribu-
shion plate was passed, and as result
diddent put nothink into the plate. We
have notised that he has been going to
sleep every Sunday of late jest before
the eolleckshion is tux up, but after
that he wakes up and is as bright as
a dollar while the sermon is being
preached. You can draw your own
conclusions.
Miss Amelia Tucker, Bingville's
raining society queen, is not taking
much part in the soshial whirl OF Bing-
vile at present, being as Amelia is
suffering from ingrowing toenail
which is giving her considerable trouble,
and as result she has retired from
sossiety for the time being.
Bill Hepburn, ouF artistck black
smith, made his ushual Saturday trip
to the co seat last Saturday and re-
turned home about dark full as tick,
as is his custuna. Bills wife put him te
bed. All day Sunday Bill had splittin
headake, but Monday morning he was
at work in his shop, but was in . tur-
rible bad humor until Tuesday. Il Is
a awful thing for person TO let old
Demon Rum git hold on en- ike that.
Yves. Woodruff, our expert hunter
& trapper. Is getting ready to put out

Bingville sossiety for the rest of the

AWFUL CHEEP

AS you all know I have been en-
gagged in the bizness of repairing
umbrellers for a yr. or 2, but ]
have now desided to sell out all
my bizness and good will to the LIST
person who comes along. Here is
a chanst to build up this bizness
into something that will make you
rich beyond the fondest dreams Of
avarise. You can bet it will new
yer make you rich unless it Is bit
up more than it is at present. Good
reasons give for selling. The
principle reason is that bizness in
this line is turrible dull & / wood
perfer to git into something where
I could make living if possible.
If the above amt a good reason
for selling ! can give you some
more. I would be blame fool
to sell out if bizness was as brisk
as it fought to be. Now as to the
price: ! will sell you my biz

The writer went 129 miles and all

LAWLESSNESS AND LIQUOR.

Editor The Advertiser
We hear complaints as to the ac-
tiVities of blind tigers in certain local
tiles. The complaints seem to carry
with them an insinuation that certain
OF the rural police are not as active
as others in the suppression of liquor
selling. If there is any foundation for
this, is it possible that they are in
nuenced by that spirit which has eX-
listed among5t those who favor liquor
selling from the time the dispensary
was closed, who never have wanted

This Man Worried
About His Letters

Atlanta. Oct. 10.-James Sic.
mans. of Walker street, this city,
is publicly complaining against
his unjust fate. He says he has
written over 1000 letters within
the past year and that he hasn't
got an answer to single one of
them.
Mr.. Slemans, who is a photo.
grapher by trade. talks rather
excitedly about his 1000 letters,
and is inclined to maintain that
the government has deliberately
failed to deliver any of them, this
despite the*fact, he says, that he
has mailed many of them with
special delivery stamps.
This morning he told an Allan
ia reporter he wrote a letter to a
man living on the same street
with him. He is" going to the
mans house and is going to wait
and watch with his own eyes, he
declares, to see whether the let
ter arrives or not. If it fails to
come he is then going to Marietta
and write a letter to himself at
his Atlanta address. If Uncle
Sam doesn't deliver that well.
Mr.. Slemans has not intimated
what his next step will be.

Brookes had owned the big farm on
the outskirts of the town for eighty
years and Leo had had Two wears at
an agricultural school 10 prepare him
for his work On the farm when his
father should step aside. Bur now ne
waited to go away for good.
JUST because old Gideoa had
gtorrned, the manager or cheap

TO atarys to death trsmping around
The country, you think you're cut cut

chine gives you a chill and plnw
produces nightmare! $40 acre
farm doesn't fall into the lap Of every
boy Of twenty-five, can tell you! I
want you to marry Ellen Penrose and
settle DOWN."
Leo mad opened his thin lips and
thrown back his wavy hair. I'm go
ing on the stage" he said doggedly.
ELLEN will wait for me-"
Then she's fool" pronounced his
father, crisply, with Frank Alexander
only waiting for chance to cut you
out. And Ellen Is a mighty pretty
girl"
Leo thought SO himself when he told
Ellen good-by. She had sat very
quietly when he had unfolded his
glowing future to her with all the van
ity of youth. When he ended, flushed
with excitement, he had not noticed
that she was very pale.
There had been in his voice no note
of regret at leaving her.
Almost unconsciously Ellen Penrose
raised her small, beautiful head higher
and something contracted about her
heart. Her life had been so inter-
woven always with his that she was
dszed and hurt. She also was proud.
Secretly Leo was vastly relieved that
Ellen took his departure so quietly
with no tears. In his absorption he
had said nothing about her waiting for
him. He took that as a matter Of
course.
She watched him go down the path
between the lllacs and then she went
to her room with something throbbing
in her brain. 1t was an though she
had told Leo good.by forever. Dinly
she felt it was SO. The hurt and sur
prise that were hers at the first reali
cation that she was second in his
thoughts did not depart. And she
took up her life.
Sometimes Gideon Brooke, meeting
her, would feel his anger stir afrcsh at
his silly son. Letters came infrequent-
" from Leo. AS the months went on
they grew vague. He said not much
about success. but a great deal about
hard work. M,
