EDDYTORTUI,.

My goodness, we wish as Eddi-
tor & Prop. of the Bingvil1e Buggle,
that it wassent SIGH a chore for us
to think up subjeckts for eddytor-
iul in the Bugle each wk as it is
we say we wish we didn't haft to go
thro SIGH a turrible sweat & mental
anguish as we do week after wk in
order to think up subjecl1t which
we haven't never tf1ort up and
wrote on before to do which is not
only impossible but absurd & ridicl1-
lus in the extream.
We have bene edditor & prop of
the Bugle now going on almost 81
yrs Cor is 1t "a yrs ave can't be
sure being as we have KEEP no track
of dates & simply haft to depend
on our rnemry which amt as spry
and soople for remembering dates
& other things of Importance too
numerous to mentchion which we
keep forgetting all the time, but we
calkilate that's to be expeckted as a
person grows older and well haft to
make the best of it,.
Wot was it we started out to say,
If ennyt1ing7 o yes we remember
nowl We started out to say that
we have been edditor & prop of the
Buggle betwixt ~ and "a yrs some
where's 1--WE cant remember the ex-
ackt number of yrs becuz (see
above explanasfion for reason)-)
and during all that turrible long pc
Rod we have wrote red hot eddy
toria1 which has been dasht off from
our flooent pen every week. How
menny eddytorials does this make
which we have wrotten, we ask !?
Betwixt 1404 and 1853 we answer
depending on whether we have
been edditor & prop of the Bugie
~ or 81 yrs-one set of figgers Is
for ~ yrs & tother for 81 yrs.
We are of the unbiased opinion
that we are correcl1t in these iggers
being as we was very keerful when
we multiplied and keerful also when
we added up to carry the left hand
fgger to the next col1urn. We are
purity smart at fggers if we do say
it ourself and we persoom Jed

Terrible ShiftIess

Bige Barker is the most shiftless
person we know, and that's saying a
good deal Bige's maple sap pals has
been laying out in the woods ever since
he used EN- to gather sap In the spring
a year ago. They be rusted terrible
and amt no use to anybody for nothing.
1t wouldn't of took Bige more than
a hour to of gethered them pals up
and put them under kivver, but he
seems to prefer to let EN- go to the

her. Then Mirandyll say, Lay per-
feckly still, Amey dear, whilst l put
my poor cold feet aginst your back"
One night Anne got mad at Mirandy
and spoke up sharp to her. Anne told
her to keep her dadblamed cold feet
often his back. Then Mirandy begin to
cry and told Anne he diddent love her
and SO Anne had to let her have her
way, but he said she sobbed and went
on even after she had went to sleep and
him layin there shiverin with her feet
clapped right aginst the small of his
back.
AS we said II woodent be SO bad If
the wind madden drifted the snow so.
AS a result the streets of Bingville is
almost impossible and the sidewalks in
front of moren two thirds of the houses
on Main St. has snow on EN- three to
four # deep. This is disgrase.
Hank Dewberry said he was glad of
it being as it would give him a chanst
to earn some money by shuvveling of
snow for people and that In his opinion
Providence had throwd this golden op-
portunity in his way. Hank shuvveld
snow half day and got half a dollar
for same, then he stopped and has been
loafin in Hen Weathersbys store smok-
in up tobacko which he bought with
the half dollar and says he amt goin to
bust hisself sh1vvelin snow until all

BLOWD!
That's What the Wind Has Been a
Doing in Our Midst for a Wk
Past---BingViIIe Is Most FrOze
Up at the Present Writing 6
the Snow Is Drifted Somethink
Awful!

AS edditor & prop of the Bugle weel
be turrible awful glad when March is
past and went and we are of the umble
opinion that we voice the general feel
ms of this community who have been
considerable rought UP for the past
| few days, when we say that they also
to the last man, womman, child & dog
of Bingville wishts the same as we do
to say notain< of the cats.
Whot we refer to is the dingbust-
eldest awful winds which have per-
vailed in our midst for the past wk or
more during which time it has bowed
harder & more vi1ent for a longer
spell than within the memry of the
Oldest inhabbitant of Bingville dad
Henderson is the oldest inhabitant and
Dad says we are korrecl1t-Dad says
there was a turrible blow along in the
yr 174o-no, we mean 184o when the
wind blowd and blowd for three days
like gale but that wassent a patch to
how it has blowd for the past w1x) and
that's saying good cal being as Dad Is
in his Cos and Is turrib1e spry & soop1e
for a old has-been like him.
It woodent make so much difference
If the wind did blow so long as it only
didn't go and snow along with the
wind-thats what has played Hobb with
along with the fackt that its been almost
cold enuff part of the time to freeze
the horns often a muley COW and you
know yourself it must be purity blamed
cold to freeze the horns often a COW
that amt got emmy horns.
Ranse Smiley informs us that the
wind b1owd so last Thursday forenoon
that it b1owd some of the feathers Of
fen a few hens which he had turned
outen the henhouse to feed before they
could run back into the henhouse agin,
but we doubt this-Ranse is a fellow
who is liable to make free with the
truth and to take more liberties with
it when he gifts chanst than most men
of homer & integritty-and if Ranse
don't git the chanst heel make a chanst
to misrepersent the truth.
