EDITORIAL,

We desire to call the attenshion
of the town Se1ect1nen to the awful
necessity for a complete new outfit
for the Bingvi1le fire department,
which dire need is represented by
one round dozen of new water
pals.
It is the n1isshion of the Bugle
as the best advertising medium in
the country, and otherwise a newsy
and up-to-date newspaper, to look
out after the towns best interests.
1t is our sacred duty as editor and
prop. and printers devil and type
setter and advertising mgr. Of the
Bugle to see the needs of Bingvi11e
and call attenshion to them in red
hot editorials, like this one, for in
stants. It keeps us pretty bizzy
seeing something to call attenshion
to in Bingville every week, but it
is our opinion that we do right well
if we do say it ourself, accordi1 G
to Our opportunities. We don't
scairsely ever get what we ask for,
but we have the consciousness of
having saw Our duty and done it.
The wood pals, which has been
in use by the Bingville fire dept
for the past 10 years has went to
rack and ruin, as you might say,
and at the present writing there
amt one that will hold water no
more than a sieve. AS for the rest
they have been borrowed from the
Town Hall by unscrupulous per
sons needing a water pail and never
returned What Is the result, we
ask? The result is that if a raging
fire was to break out in our midst
at a unexpected moment we would
be unprepared to handle it. The
brave and heroicl members of the
Bingville fire dept. can't carry water
to put out a fire within buckets if
they amt got no buckets, can they :?
1t is ridiculous to think SO.
In interview which we had with
Jason Tucker, chief of the fire dept.
Jason stated that him and his men
was ready to fight the flames to the
death if necessary, but they'd be
burned if they'd fight 'em unless
they had pals to carry water in.
Jason said if the Selectmen had any
git up to them they would buy a
dozen new water pals, even if they
had to bond Bingville to do it. ia
son said it was criminal careless
ness on the part of our Selectmen
to not furnish pals when the entire
| dozen could be bought at Hen
Weathersby's store for three OF

premises or he would arrest them fol
obtaining music under false pretense
AS soon as Seth said this about half a
dozen able bodied boys from Hardscrab-
bic, for such they was, jumpt onto him
and give him a terrible wallopin until
he hollered that he had had enough
Then they dropped him and excaped IN
the darkness and amt been seen since
Seth then returned into the hall and
said he had drove them off, but not
without a desprit struggle.
About the middle of the concert there
was intermishion to let the band boys
rest, during which time hot coffee and
sandwiches was served to all present
Miss Sally Hoskins just for 4 joke
poured a cup of coffee into the base
horn of Brad Hinsley and after that the
dunmed thing wouldn't play a note,
although Brad blowed until he like to
of bust hisself. Brad thinks it is spilled
for good. Sally is regular cut-up when
she gets out in company.
The second half of the concert was
even more interesting and mysterious
than the rest if anything. After the
boys had played one peecooliar sound
ing piece Cy Hoskins rose to his feet
and said:
While they are no doubt those present
who appreshiate classic musick, it is my
firm opinion that the great majority of
those within sound of my voice would
like to hear some of the old familiar
airs. I therefore ask yO.- to play
Marching Through Georgia."
That's what we just got through
playing" says Jed Perkins. and Cy col
lapsed into his seat and didn't have no
more to say. Taken as a whole, how
ever, the concert was very exciting and
entertaining. Before it was half over
several went home with headaches with
out even asking for their money back.
1t seemed to be the general opinion of
those who enjoyed the concert that the
Town Hall was too small to give band
concert in. 1t seemed to be a prevalent
opinion that if the boys was out somers
playing in the middle of a 10-acfe field
and the spectators could lissen to their
musick about a mile and a half away
it would have more of a soothing and
subdued effecl1t.
The proceeds from the benefit was
rather a disappointment, amounting to
only $1.5O, not cornting expenses of the
Sandwiches and coffee which was donat-
ed free. This may seem rather strange
when the hall was crowded, but it will
be understood when It IS explained that
each member of the band had the privi-
lege of inviting members of his family
and his relatives and friends for moth
ing, which embraces about all the popu-
fashion of Bingville and surrounding
country, and those who paid 10 cts. ad-
mistion presumably had no friends
$15O won't go very fur towards buying
new uniforms for the boys. but every

What does the town Selectrnen
expect the fire department to do
supPosing big fire breaks out un-
expected in our midst? Do they
expect the members of the fire de-
partment to carry water to the fire
in their hats? The sooner our lazy,
loafing, dooless, good for nothing
town Selectmen wakes up to the
interests of Bingville the better 1t
will be for their reputashions. Let
ls have dozen new fire pals so
that our fire department will com
pare favorably with that of Hard
scrabble. If there amt no money
in the town treasury to buy these
pals with (Which there ain't) then
let somebody get up a petishion and
raise enough money to buy the pals
with by public subscripshion. The
Bugle will head the list with rs
cents.
1t is shame and disgrace and
a conturnely and wart on our rep
utasflion as a town that we are not
able to keep our fire department in
fit condishion to fight fire with.
What will the neighboring towns
think of us and what does our pusi-
luminous town Se1ectnen care if
they do? These three men who
have been elected to fill the highest
office within the gift of the voters
of Bingville without salary or other
emoluments, will tempt fate too far
one Of these days-yes, they will
wake up some morning, like as not,
and find the thriving, bustling town
of Bingville a total loss and no in

BENEFII'TED!
That's What the BingviIIe Horn
Band Was by a Grand Band
COrncert, but Only to the Ex-
tent Of $3.50 cts Wich Amt
Much

The Bingvi1le Horn Band which all
our citizens is proud of. gave enter
tainrnent in the Town Hall last Thurs
day night which they called a "Bene-
fit"
It was for the purpose of raising
enough to buy new uniforms with if
possible, and if not possible, then to
raise as much money lords it as posi-
bic. Ever since the boys bought their
second hand instruments from the band
which broke up at the Co. seat, they
have been hankering for uniforms so
that when they appear in public they
will look like soljers agoing to war, as
it were We do not blame them for this
and it will be a happy day in Bingville
when our horn band can go forth on
dress parade clothed in bright colors
and gold braid.
The entertainment was announced by
posters which was tackled up all over
town and the word spread until every
body hercabouts was aware of the bene-
fit. The posters (Which were printed at
this office, if you desire any job print
ing did call on us) also announced that
admission fee of the small sum of 10
cents would be charged to get into the
entertainment and that the programme
would consist of a large number of
pieces played by the band, which they
have been prackticing on for several
weeks
The hall was crowded to the doors
by Z p. m. on the night of the concert.
Jed Perkins, our intelligent school teach
er, who is leader of the band and who
also knows the notes and can almost
read musick, announced that the band
would first play my Country-It's of
Thee" as a sort of overchoor. The boys
was all up on the platform facing the
audience, and Jed turned to them and
held up his hand for them to begin, but
Ranse Hi1lyer hollered out to for good
ness sakes wait a minnit because his
trombone had stuck and he couldn't
bulge it. Presently Ranse got it SO as
it would slide and they begin to play.
Most everybody in the house was IA
miliar with My Country-Its of Thee"
but scarcely nobody recognized it. This
was probably because they put so many
variashions into It

begin to play Deacon Butterworth, who
was standing back by the door called
out that there was several unscrupulous
persons standing out in the road in
front of the Town Hall lissening to
the concert instead of paying to come
inside like gentlemen, and he, for one,
thought it ought to be stopped. At this
Seth Dewberry, our heroick town con-
stable, got up and said he would attend
to that, and Seth walked boldly out and

Tests Of a new touring system, In
vented by a German engineer, Herr
Koss. have recently been made on the
Dortmund Ems Canal. which give
promise that the invention will be a
success. An elastic rail Ia laid Mt the
bottom of the canal, and the tueboat
carries at its bottom four rollers which
clasp this rail. These rollers are oper.
ated from the boat which is thus pro
PEELED. A large economy OF power IL
claimed for this method. The expert
mental tug Is worked by electricity
the energy being obtained through a
cable from an auxiliary boat equipped
with dynamo. This. however, IA on.
ly an experiment. and In ordinary
working trolley wire would be in

barge being fitted with set of rollers
acting on the rail.
