couldn't acct for, being as he swore
over and over that he'd be blamed
if he lnowd where them 70 cts ever
went to-but outside of that, thank
goodness, Bingvil1e has allus been
free from graft until up to now,
when Jason Tucker, chief of the
Bingville Fire Dept. has got hisself
into disgrase by conspiring to reck
the F. D. and by grachious he has
almost did it.
If Jase can't reckollecl1t who he
lent them pals to then it's our opin
ion that it's up to him to dig down
into his pockets and pay for six
new water pals for the B. F. D.,
so that when a fire breaks out we
will have a full equipment to fight
same in the manner which it ort
to be lighted.

Gaze FOR SAIL!

It has been a long time sinst you
heerd from me. The reason is L have
bean very bizzy and also that there
amt much happened in our midst
Sam Wilkins has turrlble cold IN
his head. He says he cant neither
hear. taste or smell and will be awful
glad when he gets shet of this cold,
which has caused him to nearly blow
his fool head often his shoulders.
Most everybody hereabouts is suf-
fering from the grip, which is very
prevalent indeed. In some cases the
doctor had to be had. Grip is a aw-
full thing to have-your correspondent
is lest getting over attack of it.
When Mrs. Smiley put out her
clothes to dry last Tuesday morning
it was so cold they froze on the line
and she couldn't git EN- off, SO they
have renamed on the line ever sinst.
She says she wishes to goodness it
would thaw soon so she could take her
clothes in.
There is only one copy of the Bugle

to Hiram Tarbell, but unfortunately
Hiram newer gets it, being as he pass
ed away five yrs. ago last spring, but
the Bugle comes right along in his
name and his wife reads it. We will
make a effort to see if we cant get a
new subscriber or two in our midst
soon.
These is about all the items we can
think of at this writing, but if they

us to see if we cant find others like
them in the fuchure. We also per-

Hez Wilkins of Zion Crossroads
dropped into Bingville on bizness and
pleasure one day last wk, and while
in our midst he visited the Bugle
Offs and shuk hands and made big
fuss over us and took a chair by the
stove and made hisself comfortable and
give us few items from Zion Cross
roads, and after he had got warmed up
he says, Il wisht you would look up
in your books and see how much l
owe you on back subscripshion-I guess
Tine leetle mite behint, amt I !?
Soon as Hez said this we seen wish
ions of getting holt of SIS, ennyhow,
SO we diddent lose no time in looking
up what Hez owed US and we was a
good cal pleased when we found that
he owed us $17 instid of SIS. rs it so
much as that?" says Hez and we told
him it was. Then he says, WAL,
wal who'd a thort it? 1t does beat
all how the time flies, don't it? l
diddent think l owed moren So or 81
at the most, but then 1 don't doubt
your fggers is correckt and 1 don't

Then Hez changed the subjeckt and
begin to talk about other things instid
Of pullin out his wallet and paying US
the II. After he had talked and
talked about hour or more we told
Hez that wed make him out bill and he
said that would be alright SO we made
out a itemized bill yr by yr for his
back subscripshion and give it to him
and blamed if he diddent start to put
it into his pocket.
Don't you want that bill reseated ?"
we askd him and he said Eyes, it would
be jest as well, praps,' SO he handed
US back the bill, but before we reseated
it we asked him if he had the even $17,
or would we have to git a big bill
changed. Then Hez he looked a good
cal surprised and says, ooh, haddent
no notion of paying you ennythink on
my subscripshion today, far from it.
l just had a cooriositty to know how
much 1 owed you, that was all To
tell you the truth what I come in here
for was to git my feet warm. Its dog

With that Hez dumped outen the

EDDYTORIUL,

We desire to call partickler at
tenshion in this eddytoriul to the
fackt that the Bingville Fire De
partment has almost went to sticks,
as you might say, and while we call
attenshion to that we also desire to
offer some criticizms for putting
the B. F. D. into shape again.
If big hollycost was to break
out in our midst at the present
writing it is more than likely that
this hull town would go up into
smoke. We say if the Fiery
Tongued Monster of Flame was to
git start amongst us the chances
is that he would lick up with his
greedy tongue every bildin in Bing-
vile.
Why would this happen if fire
was to break out, we ask?
Why becuz we amt got prack-
tikally no Bingvi1le Fire Depart
ment emmy more, we anser!
In the past when the B. F. D.
has been at its best it has been
composed of a dozen water pals
and 2 ladders, one longer and one
shorter, which has allus been kept
in the basement of the Town Hall,
but look at the Bingvi1le Fire De-
partment now
Instid of a dozen pals our fire
dept. now consists of only five pals,
two of which has gone to slaves
and leaks like seeves, also two old
ram shacl1ly ladders, which it is as
much as brave mans life is worth
to trust hisse1f on the rungs of
either one.
What has became of the rest of
the water pals, if anything? Why
folks has borried 'em from Jason
Tucker, chief of our Fire Depart
nent, who unlocked the Town Hall
and lent en to EN- and they TUX EN-
home and then forgot { y to bring
EN- back, and then Jase went and
forgot who it was he lent EN- to
and now they be gone forever -
that's what has became of EN-!
Jason Tucker ort to have more
sents than to do a thing of this
kind, and by doing it he has not
only laid hisself open to criticizm
but also to the charge of being a
CRATER, which is a turrible charge
to bring agin teller. Up to this
time Bingville has allus been free
from graft, comparatively speakin,
except that about three yrs ago
when Anne Hillyer, our talented
loryer & legal lite was town trea-
shurer and when his term of offs
expired Anne was short in his acct
to the amount Of IS cts, which he

up Gid and asks him-Gid in this rel
speckt is almost as good as almanack.l
Gid has tried almost everything there
is on earth to cure his roomytiz, but
everything has failed so far, and we
believe we voice the general sentiment
in Bingville when we say that we are
glad of it. If Gid was to cure up his
roomytiz we wouldn't skeercly know
how to git along without his wet
wether perdickshions, and we hope he
wont find nothink to cure his roomytiz
becuz even though he does suffer from
same he is great convenience to the
general publick as a weather profet.
