EDDYToRIUI,

This eddytoriul is to be wrote on
the subject of "'The Curse OF
Riches"
As for us as ed. & prop. of the
Bingville Boogie, we don't know SO
very much about this subjeckt, be-
ing as we amt newer been cursed
by riches to emmy great extent, as
you might say, although we would
be willing to be cursed that way if
we only had haf chanst.
But in the absents of emmy
knowledge on the subjeckt, we
have looked up statistics like we
haft to do sometimes when we
write eddytoriul on somtthink we
don't know nothink about and
now we feel competent to handle
this subjeckt in a very intelligent
& loocid manner.
The only person In Bingvilie
who we can think of who is cursed
with riches, or in other words, the
person who is the most cursed in
this manner, is our cstirnable
townsnan, Cy Hosl1ins, who has
the reputation of being not only
the richest 6 most afflooent man,
but also the stingiest and tightest-
wad amongst all of our popula-
E,ion. We psrsoom tlrat's how Cy

have been thinking that 1t might be
good idea If we was to set down
some day and take our pen in hand
and write John D. a letter setting
forth our financial condishion to
the effect that we aint skeercely
got one round doller to rub agin
another most of the time, owing to
the fackt that most of our sub
scribers is dead beets and owes US
ennywheres from $40 to $15 per
each, which they aint newer paid
and probably newer will, and
therefore would he be so kind and
obliging as to Jest write Us a check
for say a few hundred dollers IL
it wouldn't inconvenience him emmy
and mail same to us SO that we
could take it to the CO. seat and git
1t cashed and replenish our finances
somewhat.
Somebuddy has said "It ainr no
disgrace to be poor" This may be
true, but Its turrible inconvenient
at times when you need money.
It may be true that folks don't
look down on man becuz he Is
poor and yet if a poor man be-
comes rich, folks begin to look UP
to him right away like everythink.
In conclooshion we desire to re-
peat what we said at the outset of
this eddytoriul, namely, viz, towit-
if some kind hearted person who
has moro money than they know
what to do with will kindly curse
us with a batch of It we will be
turrible thankful.
