It gives us turrible great
pleasure to call your attenshion in
this weeks Bugle to lot of por-
traits, pictures and speal1in like
nesses of some of our most repre-
sentative citizens which adorns
this ishue
We have thort for some time of
doing this so that our subscribers
could see how some of Our most
distinguished citizens of Bingville
looks when they have their pictures
took.
Some of these pictures are made
from tintypes which was took at
various Co. fairs in the past, others
was made from regular Photographs
which was took over at the Co.
seat or by travelling photographers,
while still others was made from
crayon portraits which adorns the
walls of many a Bingville home,
but no matter where these pictures
was took they are faithful like
nesses, they are what we might al
most cali speal<in lil<enesses. Of
course some of these pictures is
handsomer than the originals, but
we can't help that.
We desire to request all sub
scribers to the Bingville BugIe to
study these pictures which appears
this week with partickler attenshion
and famiIarize theirselfs as it were
with each face on this page, so that
hereafter when any pictures of
Bingvil1e folks appears in the Bugle
you will be able to recognize them
right off from these here pictures,
which you now see before you.
OBSERVE EACH ONE OF
THESE PICTURES VERY

blame good idee i. -74l was to cut
them out and paste them up on the
wall somewheres so that you would
get to know them SO well that when
YOU see these same faces in the
Bugle in the future, you will know
who they be even though there
amt no names on EN-.

Awful Snow!
It Fell in Our Midst Las Thurs
day Night---Despest Snow in
the History Of BingviIIe---Nuff
Snow to Last All Winter
Roads ImpassahIe---Iest Haft
to Waller ThrO It---Read Below

On last Thursday night Cor was it
Fridayf1 no, no it was on Threesday
night. We recollect now becuz it was
that night that Anne Hillyer, our talent
ed loryer and legal light, who is also
our next door naber, was took down
suddint with the stumich ache, becuz
like a blame fool he had went and ct
half of hot rnince pie jest before 60
ing to bed. which he ort to have had
more sense than to of did, being as
every time Anne eats hot nince pie at
bed time, he allus suffers for it, but
It seems he can't seem to learn any
sense-so he went and ct the half of q
pie and then went to bed at his usual
bedtime, which is 8 o'clock, only to
wake up an hour or two later suferin
turrible agony internally, as we might
say
Mrs. Hi1lyer was offu1 scairt less Anne
was agoin to pass away right there on
her hands and she was afeared to leave
him alone, so she hollered out the side
winder to us, who had as yet not went
to bed. and told us to for goodness
sakes 20 for Doc Livermore inneiit
and tell him to come as fast as he could
60 If he desired to see poor Anne alive.
So we went for Doc. who was not to
home. Mrs. Livermore said we would
probably find him down to Hen Wealth
ersby's store. which we did, playing
checkers with Slime Goolins. Doc said
he would give his perfesshiona1 ser
vices TO Anne as soon as he finished the
game of checkers, being as he had two
of Shines kings and another king cor
nered and expected to git all of his
checkers often him in few minutes.
Well. after the game was finished
Doc, he responded promptly, but when
he arrived at Ame's, Anne was much
easier and had went to sleep again, SO
Mrs. Hil1yer, long as he wasn't sufferin
and grooming as he had been, said she
wouldn't wake him up. Doc said he
would have to charge IS cents for the
visit anyhow, but Mrs. Hillyer said she
wouldn't pay, so Doc he went back to
the store to play another game of check
ers in deep disgust.
However, that wasn't what we started
out to write about We only men
shioned about Anne being sick SO as to
show you that it was on Thursday night
instead of Friday that what we are
agoin to write about what happened in
Bingville.

and it looked as If we might have some
or dreamed that during the still and
silent watches of the night there would
fall one of the deepest snow storms in
the history of Bingville.
Next mornin when Bingville folks
awoked they was a good cal amazed
and surprised when they looked out
their respective winders to see nearly
three feet of snow on the ground and
1t still showing. It was almost impos-
sible for folks to git outen doors owing
to the deepth of the snow and when
they did go out they had to waller and
stumble around dredful.
Hen Weathersby, prop of our general
store, tried to git from his house to
the store to open it up, but become ex-
osted before he got half way and re-
turned home in disgust Hen says he
calkilated it warn't no use to open the
store anyhow, being as there wouldn't
be no customers.
Eph Higgins, our accommodating P.
M, didn't open the P. o. until along
towards evg., after others had went and
broke the paths along the streets.
Hank Dewberry, our expert snow
shoveller, had his hands full Hank
shovelled snow at so much per job until
he like to of broke his back, and after
he had earnt sixty cents during the
forenoon he said he guessed he had had
enuff snow shovelling to last him until
next summer.
Miss Phoebe Hilderbrand, our fash
ionab1e dressmaker, tried to walk from
her house to her dressmaking estab-
lishment, but she got stuck fast in the
snow and couldn't git forward or back
neither. Cy Hoskins happened to come
along and he offered to help Phoebe,
who said she would be much obliged if
he would, so Cy, he jest picked Phoebe
up in his arms and started to walk along
with her to her dressmakin establish
ment, until Phoebe hauled off and hit
Cy an offu1 wa1lop in the face that made
prise that he dropped Phoebe right into
the snow. where she sunk down outen
sight
As soon as Phoebe could git on her
feet she told Cy he ort to be ashamed
of hisself for taking liberties like that
with a respectable woman and him
married man too and pillar in the
Bingville church.
Cy apologized, but Phoebe wouldn't
accept 1t and stood there with her nose
in the air and her feet freezin until she
got rested sufficient to return home.
When Cy,s wife found out what Cy
had did she give him turrib1e dressin
down also. Cy says the next time he
tries to be chivalrous and perlite to the
women sex it will be a colder day than
it was last Thursday and the snow will
be deeper, too.

How England Grows

A great deal of interest is taken IN
England in the question Of coast pro,
lection. The ocean. assailing the
cliffs, gradually tears them away, but
this very process furnishes a defense
for the land by building up long beach,
es Of sand and shingle which arrest
the waves before they can attack the
cliffs. An effort Is making to prevent
or better regulate, the removal of this
material for construction and road
building, because In many places ita
removal has permitted the sea freely
to exert its power of erosion.
The Ordinance Survey has ascer-
tanned that In the last thirty-five years
England has lost 5000 acres by sea
erosion, and gained $4,000 acres
through reolaiming land the existence
of which Is mainly due to material
brought down by the rivers.-From the
Youths Companion,
