The turrible awful hot weather in
Bingville is the principal topick of con-
versashion as we go to press espesh-
tally on the part of them who has
/ strength enuff left to converse AS for
the majority of our inhabitants they
don't talk much-all they do is to set
in the shade and gasp fer broth.
Last Sunday when the thermometer
stood at % degrees in the shade, Rev
Moore, our beloved pastor of the Bing-
vile church, preached sermon on
1.-THE Burning Lake of Fire & How TO
Avoid it" We have allus been a friend
of Rev. Moore and have stood up for
him and have on several occasions lit
into his flock through the columns of
the Boogle becuz they are allus three or
four years back on his salery, but we
must come right out and say that we
think Rev. Moore made big mistake
when he took subjeckt like that for
a text on as hot 4 day as last Sunday.
There was considerable of a congTe-
gashion present, but the church was so
alfred hot that the terriers of the burn
ing lake of fire diddent have no terriers
for EN-. Hank Dewberry, who was
present, said that accordin to Rev.
Moore's descripshion of hades it was
sent haff as hot there as in Bingville,
and Hank he calkilated if it was posi-
bill he'd like to go to hades and remain
there until the weather got cooler IN
Bingville.
Hen Weathersby, prop. of our gen
eral store, says he amt sold enuf mdse
during the hot spell to justify him in
keepin the store open, and as a result
Hen has locked it up tite & snug and
spends most OF his time dozin in easy
cheer under appel tree IN his back lot
Hen says his store door won't open
until it gifts cooler. Ranse Smiley want
cd a plug of tobacker, but Hen wouldn't
open the store to git it for him. Ranse
told Hen he'd lose trade by actin ike
that, but Hen said he'd ruther lose
Ranse's tobacker trade than to walk to
the store in the hot sun, so Rznse has
had to beg tobacker all over town, and
the beggins turrible poor, being as them
who has tobacker realising they can't
git no more at Hens store until it gifts
cooler are very economizing of II
Eph Higgins, our accommodating z.
NJ, closed the Bingville P. o. last
Thursday, which was a scorcher, and |
the mail that come from the CO. seat
wassent changed until Friday. 1t would |
MT of been then only Anne Hillyer, |
our attorney & legal lite, was expecting |
a letter and told Eph if he diddent
open up the P. o. and change the mail
he'd write on to Washington and report |
him to the P o. department This
scairt Eph, who has been changing the |
mail every day sinst, heat and all. but |
he's turriblc short & cross with P. O. /
patrons, and nearly snaps their heads /
off when they ask for their mail
Yves Woodruff, our hunter & trapper,
thort he would git ahead OF the hot
weather by going down to Snake Criok
and spending most of the hot days in
the swimmin hole where the boys goes
swimrnin, so last Tuesday IVES he went
down bright & airy in the morning
about sunup & hauled of all his clothes
