hinthard with his work.
Mrs Alb Skinner has our heartfelt
thanks for a cnstard pie which she
baked and sent into this office one day
last week Mt a minute when we was
footsore and brain tagged, as you might
say, and that pie was a turrible welcome
guest. It served to brace UP our depart
ment OF the interior SO as we got twice
as much done as we would of other
wise. We are a great hand for pie, es-
pecially the kind of pie Mrs. Skinner
makes.
Lem Brown our expert carpenter,
while building an addition onto the hen
house of Widow Skinner, struck at a
nail and hit his thumb smashing Same
and rendering It hors de combat, as you
might say. Lem is the best carpenter
we have got in Bingville. He don't very
often miss somethink when he strikes
at anythink.
Mrs. Doc Livermore Is helping Doc
make up some new medicines this week
for humans and horses. Docs wife Is
terrible smart and is great help to him
In his profession, but she won't take
none of Docs medicines, which merely
shows her good sense
Miss Phronicia Watkins appeared on
our street last Sunday La a new bomba-
zine skirt. It seems to fit you real well,
Phronicia.
Deacon Butterworth had another spell
with his stomach again the other night
The deacon is subject to pains in his
stomach, especially if he eats cold pota-
toes or pie at bedtime. He can't seem
to fnd out what gives these pains to
him.
Hen Weathersby, prop. of our general
store, has laid in a new supply of
barbed wire fenceA It has got more
stickers on than usual, and it appears
to us it ought to keep stock out or in.
Cali on Hen and examine this fence.
He will show same to customers with
great cheer.-Adv.
Harve Hines, our tonsorial barber,
while shaving Eph Higgins, our accom-
modating P. M, one day last week, cut
the lower end of one Of Eph's ears and
he bled like stuck pig. The way it hap
pened was that Harve went to look out
the winder and forgot to stop shaving
Eph, with above result. Harve never
cuts q person bad, though.
Bill Hepburn, our artistic blacksmith,
went to the Co. seat again last week
and filled up on snake-bite medicine,
and come home & disgraced hisself as
usual.

Bale Hawkins while out at the barn
feeding his stock one ev'g recent saw a
rat run across the floor in front of him
Bale had pitchfork in his hands at the
time and he gave vishious jab at the
rat and one of the tines of the fork
run clean through his boot about a inch.
Bale holiered with pain and layd to it
and swore SO loud that you could hear
him clean to the postoffice- He went in
to the house and took off his boot and
rubbed some linament on the place where
he jug hisself and it is better at this
writing. If Bale hadn't of been so awk-
ward the chances is that he would not

AWFUL MESS!
Which lake GOOkinS Went 6 Got
HisseIf Int0!--- As a Result
lake Is SOshiaIIy Ostersized!
Sickening PartickIers Below!

| Jake Gooleins, until recent one of our
most respected citizens, went and got
hisseif into a awful mess and come
within a ace of going to Jail.
The heightened way Jake has been
conducting hisself of late has been the
talk of the town. About a week age
Jake went into Hen Weathersby's store
and purchased a pr. of boots and a
whole lot of groceries and buck saw
and dress for his wife and few lbs.
of nails and entire box of peppermint
candy and four plugs of tobacco and a
new clay pipe, ali amounting to $14 and
some cts. Jake then told Hen that if it
was all the same to him he would give
him q check for what he bought. Hen
said he had allus found checks just as
good as wheat In the bin, and took
Jake's check for the amount.
That same day Hiram Petersby driv-
ing into Bingville in a pung behind a
2-year-old colt, which Jake took tur-
rible fancy to. Jake asked Hi how much
he would take for the critter, and Hi
said he reckoned about SIS would buy
her. Jake said that price was satisfac-
tory, so he wrote out a check for the
amt and give it to Hi, who blame neer
tainted becuz he would of took $35 for
the colt ruther than miss the chance. A
couple of days afterward Jake met Cy
Hoskins in the P. o. and asked Cy what
he wanted spot cash for his lower farm.
Cy said he wasn't partickler about SELL
ing, but he calkilated he would take
about 5000 If it was showed at him. Jake
he got a pen and ink and wrote out a
check for 5000 and handed it to Cy, and
Cy grabbed Jake and took him over to
Anne Hillyer's office to have Anne make
out a deed to Jake for the farm before
Jake changed his mind, and Anne made
out the deed and Jake give Cy the check
and Cy was so tickled that he couldn't
sleep any that night being as he only
paid $500 for the farm in the first place.
Jake also bought COW from Plutarch
Stone, paying him SIS by check for
her. Jake had also made arrangements
with Lem Brown our talented carpenter,
to build him house in the spring which
was to be the finest residence in Bing-
vile.
On Tuesday last, however, Cy Hos
kins made spechial trip to the county
seat and presented Jake's check for 5000
at the First National Bank, which it
was on. When the cashier saw it he
gave Cy the laff and told him that no
such a person as Jake Gool1ins had an
account at that bank, and that the check
wasn't worth the paper it was writ on.
Cy he jumped into his pung and driv
home hckety split. He found Jake in
the P. O., writing a check for a thou
sand dollars as donashion to the Bing-
vile church.
Jake didn't seem any surprised when Cy
-
dence that the check was no good. Jake
admitted that he didn'+ have a copper
cent to his name nor in u bank either,
but that he had often seen others buy
things with checks and thort he would
like to try it hisself, so one day when
he was at the county seat he managed
to git a check book on the First Ma
donal. which he has been using since

Heck Took a Slide

Heck Piper while returning home
started to drive down Tecks hill which
was a glare of ice, and Heck's horse,
which has only been sharped once this
winter, started to slide and set down on
the ice and slid all the way down the
hill with Heck pullin back on the reins
and hollering to the horse to for good
ness sake, stop, but how could the
horse pause? 1t couldn't, and never
stopped slidin until horse, pung and
Heck reached the bottom of the hill.
Heck said he was so turrible weak from
sl1eer that he couldn't scairsIy set in the
pung. This ought to be a warning to
keep your horses shoes sharped up.

ETJT1YTCRITJL,

We desire once more 10 cali at
tention of the selectrnen to the fact
that our fire dept. aint what il
ought to be and amt been for some
time past. There is at present only
four fire pals fit for use in the dept
in the basement of the Town Hall
full of froze water. Besides Brad
Tucker, chief of the fire dept. has
went and lost the key to the base
ment and as a result has no idea
where its whereabouts is at present.
We ask the respected citizens of
Bingville who own property what
would be the result IL awful fire
would break out in o1fr midst with
out warning some night about 2 a.
MP What could be done to it1
The members of the fire dept.
would run up and down the streets
and boiler, but hollering won't put
out a fire. What would the water
be carried to the fire in, supposing
there was any water, which there
amt. The town pump is froze up
tightern a bung and everybody
knows that them as wants waiter
to drink has got to melt ice & snow
to get same.
If fire breaks out we will have
repetition of the horrible ho1o-
caust which occurred two weeks
ago last Saturday night when Dea-
con Butterworth's hen house caught
fire while the Deacon was trying to
ketch chicken with a candle and
burnt to the ground before his very
eyes and no insurance on same.
This is not a theory, but a condi-
ton which confronts US. What be
we going to do about it, hey? Let
the town selectrnen do their duty
regardless of criticism, and if the
town selectmen won't do nothing
then let the board of health or
somebody else take steps to guard
us against the visitation of the
fiery monster.

The Lions Mouth.

The water in a great many pub
lie fountains, whether for man
or beast. comess out of a lions
mouth. Did you ever stop to
think why a lions head should
be chosen in preference to any
other design? This is said to be
the reason: Among the ancient
Egyptians the rising of the wat
iers of the River Nile was the
most important event of the year,
as it meant life and prosperity to
the whole nation.
This rising of the waters al,
ways took place. when the sun
was in the constellation of Leo
or the lion, so. they adopted the
shape Of a lion as a symbol for
the life-giving waters of the Nile,
and all their fountains were car
we'd with a. lions head. The Ro
mans and Greeks copied this
symbol and SO it has come dowr
to us. -Argonaut.
