Well, in the words of the poet,
Summer has came at last"
Every summer since we have
been the editor and publisher of
the Bingville Bugle we have wrote
a editorial on the subject of "Sum-
mer" about this time of the year,
and we see no reason why we
should depart from our usual Gus
tom this year; so here goes for a
editorial on Summer.
We think that summer is glad
season-if conditions is favorable
and it is turrible unhappy season
if they amt. For instance, as we
indict this editorial on summer
there be two boils on Our neck, each
boil being about the size and color
of q large damson plum and both
of same aching us like a tooth. 1t
seems to us as we look back on our
past life that the JOY of living in
the summertime each year has been
largely discounted for us by the re-
currence of boils which breaks out
on us every summer just as regular
as the sun crosses the equinox.
We have took sulphur and mo-
lasses and yaller root tea and Gold
en- seal and Sassafras and Burdock
and a whole mess of other truck
until our stomach feels like a drug
store, but still the boils come and
go with persistent and painful fire.
ouency. We wish this might be
otherwise.
1t is not happy task, gentle
reader, for the editor of the best
advertising medium in this end of

scribers last week., to sit down
and dash off redhot editorials

when at the same time two palpi-
tating boils are in the process of
ripening on the back of his neck,
which is swole up to such extent
that we can't turn it around less
we turn our head by turning our
feet.
We can see how people I'M
cursed by boils might enjoy life.
We can also see how people with
boils can't enjoy nothing. The
greatest hero of the world in our
estimation was just Job, and our
favorite book is the Book of lob.
Somehow every time boils break
out on us like prickly heat in July
we are drawed lords Job like as if
he was long lost brother to US
and we ransack around until we
find the family Bible and we read
that Job was smote with sore
boils from the sole o. his foot unto

Hank then offered to lend Jason his
own boots, which was gum and

Jason and Hank himmed and hawed

expect to give Bingville a efficient fire

him and went and done what he or
dered them to do without asking no
questshions.
Things reached a climax when Dea-
con Butterworth's henhouse, which
stands not far from the bank of the
crick, was caught by the flood and
swept out into the stream, and it con-
tanning II pullets and one rooster,
which got on top of the henhouse and
crowed defiance to the multitude on
the banks. The Deacon hated to see
the henhouse go, being as it was a
good henhouse and was built new only
last summer. The Deacon follered the
henhouse down stream, keeping along
the bank in the hopes that it would
his rooster and pullets back. He has
been gone since yesterday and no word
of him has been heard and Mrs. But
terworth is that Uneasy, being as she
fears something awful has happened
to the Deacon.
Fears is entertained lest the bridge
itself will be swept away Everybody
is afeard of this except Lem Brown,
our expert carpenter, who took the
contract of building the bridge in the
first place and made about $500 on the
job. Lem calkilates that if the bridge
is swept away he can build another
one for the same money and has al
ready made out bid and handed it to
the Town Selectrnen.
Hoke Peters, the stage driver, who
carries the mail between Bingvile to
the Co. seat and return was caught on
the opposite side of the crick on Fri
day, being as he was afeard to cross
over the bridge to reach Bingville and
consequently we have had no word
from the outside world for two DAYS.
Hoke has put up at the farmhouse of
Mort Stringer, who lives back from
the crick on tother side and hollered
across that he would remain there un-
til the water went down if he had to
wait all summer.

into the office to say that Gid Smalley's
cow barn has went with the flood
The cow was saved. She slipped her
rope and jumped into the water and
swum out. The cow barn, however, is
a total loss, also about a ton of hay
which it contained.

know what the root beer tastes like,
being as the contents of the bottle she
did open fixed away before she could
ketch any of it.
Widow Hinckley, mother of Bud
Hinckley, who amt quite right in his
head, has been having attensions paid
to her by a Mr.. Smiley, who halls from
the Co. seat. 1t must be tsrrible
comfort to the widow to have some
body cheer her up, being as it's less
than a year since her late lamented
husband, Jim Hinckley, was laid to
rest. Mrs. Hinckley is one of our
handsomest widows and we trust her
and this man Smiley may make hitch
of it. Also, Bud needs stepfather to
look out after him.
Bale Hawkins is suffering from a
turrible cold in his head, which he don't
know where he caught it. This is a
singular thing because Bale usually
knows where he ketches cold. He is
all stuffed up and can't hear as we'll
as usual. Being as Bale is little mite
def at his best and can't hear as we'll
as usual now, you haft to holler at
him till you're hoarse to make him I'M

there has been so much yellin on the

nounce to the public that he only has

Owing to the fact that he amt much
