EDDYTORIUL

Being as there amt notfink so
very turrible Important to write
a eddytoriul on this wk, we have
desided instid of writing a long
vigorous eddytoriul to dash off a
few eddytoriul squibs for a change.
We have did this onct in while
in the past when we was at a loss
to write long eddytoriul & on
each occashion they appeared they
was well received by our army of
readers. Thus emboldened by past
triumfs in this line, as you might
say, we are a going to repeat the
dose herewith.
The principal difference betwixt
long eddytoriul and eddytoriul
squibs is that one is longer and
tother shorter. respectfully. You
will observe, however, that these
squibs still has the eddytoriul
flavor, as it were, and that the
word ''WE" appears jest as often
as in the longer eddytoriul.
We have often been asked by
Bugle readers why we use the word
1--WE" when writing eddytoriuls,
being as that sounded as if some
buddy helped US to write EN- and
that we said eve" for that rea-
son. We have even been askd if
Our wife helped Us to write our
eddytoriu1s, being as we used the
word 1--WE" SO much, referring, as
some of Our more ignorunter read
ers thort, to the matrimonial firm.
Such, however, is not the case.
Neither Our wife nor nobuddy else
ever had hand in writing even
one of our eddytoriuls-we have,
on the contrary, did this work our
self in the toll & SWEET of mental
anguish without no help from no
buddy.
The reason we allus use the
word eve" when we write eddy
toriul is that it IS custun11nary for
eddytoriul writers TO do SO and
when they do so they refer strici1ly
to theirself and to nobuddy else
1--WE" sounds a good cal bigger &
irnportanter than az" Howsum-
ever let us now dash off few
eddytoriul squibs:
We are of the opinion that there
ort to be a meeting of the town
selecktmen of Bingville soon to
discuss matters of importance and
transackt bizness which ort to be
transacted. As a matter of fackt,
the se1ecktn1en amt had meeting
together sins they was eleclted and
for this reason they ort to be
ashamed of theirselfs. Where do
our town selecktmen wish this town
to go-to the dogsl

we be in the wrong, being as it is agin
our principle to apologize.
When the edditor of a paper begins
to apologize and admits that he's
wrong then folks thinks he amt got
no more spine or spunk than a jelly
fish and first thing he knows he's apol-
ogising to everybody right and left
The worst Fart of it is that the more
edditor apologies the more he is
expedited to apologize, and as a result
it amt long until his paper amt got
noth1nk much in except apologies, and
who wants to read a paper full of them
things?
For this reason we have been very
keerful about apo1ogising to emmy per-
son and we wish our subscribers to I'M
derstand that becuz we apologize in
this instants we amt setting no prece-
dent which we be a going to foller in
the fuchure. Jest becuz we apologize
onct amt no sign that we will ever
apologize agin.
Last wk jest as we was about to go
to press we had a turrible calamity to
happen to us We had a advertisement
all set up in type and while we was
carrying same acrost the offs our foot
slipt and we fell, splitting the type in
tAAN dONl OH ONOl LII AlOOl, 81 lAidl VIC
had to start right in and set it all over
again. 1t put us out a good cal, and
when Miss Polly Woods entered the
offs for a copy of the Bugle wk be
fore and hcerd what we was a saying
she went right out agin and we have
understood that Polly told all over
town that she never heerd SIGH lang
widge as VIC used All we have to say
is that's very pecooliar, as Polly's faith
or is one of the most profane men in
Bingville. He swears when they amt
no excuse for it too, and if Polly amt
never heerd her father swear and
thinks we can do purity well in this
line she ort to ask her own dad to let
loose onct jest to crafty her cooriosity.
Well, scttin up this ad put us behint
time agin so that we was a day late
gettin out the Boogle, and when we
come TO print same we tllort we could
save little time by sending out some
of the sheets without anythink printed
on same. We sent out about so of
these, but we was keerful to send them
to our dead beet subscribers who amt
paid us nothink on subscripshion for
10, these many yrs
For this reason we apologize, al
though it serves them right to who

We observe with a good cal of
personal pride that our fire dept
has been equipped with new fire
pail which is now with the other
pals in the town hall basement.
This makes seven water pals which
our fire dept. is equipped with at
present, and Jason Tucker, the
chief, calkilates the brave members
of the F. D. is now ready to COM
bat the grim monster of flame
wherever it rears its fiery tongued
head. The new water pail was pur-
chased to take the place of one
which was stole when Deacon But
terworth's hen house was entirely
consumed by flames recent. One
of the fire boys set down the pail
for moment and some hend in
human form swiped it.
We desire to call the attenshion
of the Bingville Horn Band to the
fackt that they have not give but
two open air concerts on the pub

whereas they ort to of give several.
What is the Bingville Horn Band
for if it amt to give open air corn
certs, we ask? Perk up, boys and
let us have some musick. Musick
hath charms to soothe the savage
beast.
We desire in closing these eddy
toriul squibs to remind our dead
beet subscribers that they amt paid
nothink on their back subscrip-
shions for quite a spell back, and
that a few dollars would be tur-
rible welcome to us at the pres
ent writing, as we have some bills
to pay and nothink to pay EN-
with.

FROSTED!
This Is a TurribIe Calamity to
BingViIIains Who Depend on
BIueberTies Being as They Sell
What They Can and Can What
They Can't-FuII Particulars
Below!

We report with awful sadness in our
heart that last Tuesday night the blue
berries in the vicinity of Bingville was
frosted. This is dreadful blow to the
inhabitants of this town which it will
take EN- quite a spell to recover from.
1t was a big surprise to them as riz
UP early last Tuesday morning to see
frost on the roofs of houses being as
this is very early for frost in this neck
of woods. AS a rule we don't have
frost in these parts until along lords
the last of September, but this yr- was
a excepshion OF course, the excep-
shion only proves the rule, bat that
amt no comfort to them as likes blue
berries.
Nobuddy thort that the frost was
heavy enuff to hurt the blueberries any
until Sim Wilkins early Wensday morn
ing TUX a gal. pail and went on top OF
the hill back of his house to pick enuf
blueberries for a pie being as Sims
wife Samantha told him that if he
would go and pick the blueberries she
would bake the pie for him. Sim is
great hand for BURBERRY pie and SO he.
grabbed the pail and hiked right out.
Sim says there's only one pie that he
likes better than a burberry pie, and
that's another BURBERRY pie jest like
it. Sim has been knowd to etc two
BURBERRY pies at one sitting.
Well, when Sim reached the top of
the hill his feelings can better be
imagined than realized when he dis
covered that every BURBERRY was frost
bit and not worth the pickin. Sim he
come back home lookin sad and when
he announced that the blueberries had
been frosted the news spread all over
Bingville in no time, and was the talk
of the town.
1t was TUX the hardest by them as
picks blueberries for sale. Several Bing-
Vile folks does this, In Jacks, some of
our. most respeckted citizens, and drives
to the CO. seat with them, where they
sell EN- for as much as they can get
per qt, or If they cant get that much,
then for less, ruthern lug EN- all the
way back to Bingville agin.
This is turrible calamity In our
midst, but we must bear it bravely and
go without blueberries we caikilate.
LATER-Sinst writing the above we
have learnt on good authority that
things amt as bad as they seemed. Glenn
Wilson has just returned from a trip
to the top of Sawridge Mountaing,
where he went to spot out some timber
line boundaries, and lem reports that
on top of the Mountaing blueberries is
thickern fleas on dogs back.
1t is our opinion that while the blue
berries lower down was frosted. them
on top of the mountaiilg is jest as good
as ever, SO let US rejoice becuz there
is suffishent biueberries for all.
