OPPOSITION TO
 HERRING DOUBLE
 SEWER SYSTEM
Residents of French Street Threaten Injunction to
 Stop Sewer Work

Residents of French street and the neighborhood are up in arms over the sewer work being done in that street and an injunction to stop it is threat ened. There is a good deal of dis satisfaction over the fact that two ditches are being dug to lay the sew CT under the Herring system plan. Those who threaten trouble claim that the city has no right to put the prop erty owners to the extra expense they claim must result from the double sewer system, and particularly be- cause they think the sewer will be Of more benefit to people on the hill above them.
 The system calls for the construc- tion of a smaller sewer to handle the sewage and a larger sewer for the surface water. The residents are con sideraly worked up over the situa- N0n.

Letter for Bale TOmnkinS

Eph Higgins, our accommodating P.
NJ, desires US to publish in the Bugle
that there is letter in the P. o. which
come for Bale Tompkins who lives over
Hardscrabble way about a week ago.
Being as Bale didn't come to town often
for his mail Eph thought the letter
might be important to Bale, so he
opened it to see what was in it il any
thing and desires to say to us to say
to Bale via the Bugle that the letter
is from Jeremy Tompkins, Bales
brother, who lives in Lowry and who
! writes to let Bale know that he is do
ing well and that all his folks is well.
This is about all that's in the letter
and Bale don't need to be in a hurry
to come for his mail less he wants to.
Eph will open letters and read EN- with
great cheer if subscribers so desire.

Hiram come out and inquired of
the Deacon what the thunderashion
he was tantalizing his horse for and
the Deacon said he wasn't tantaliz-

be kind to her, and one word led to
another until the Deacon was using
langwidge that a Christian would
be ashamed to lissen to, but they
didn't fight.
Then take Hank Dewberry. Hank
purchased a bull pup at the Co.
seat last week from AID Perkins,
who raises bull pups for so cts.
each. Well, on Thursday morning
Hanks bull pup come home luggin
ham bone which he had picked up
somewhere. Hank didn't want the
bull pup to eat the bone, being as
bones amt good for bull pups and
| is liable. to kill them if they swaller
too many bones. Being as Hank
had went and laid out so cts. for
the bull pup and had its interest at
heart he thought he would save its
| life for it by taking the bone away
from it, so he walks up to the bull
fpup and took hold of the bone. The
bull pup let go of the bone and took
holt of Hanks hand and held on
like grim deth. Hank hollered for
help. but help was scarce. Then
Hank hauled off and kicked the bull
pup, almost breaking three ribs in
side of it, and it let go and got the
bone and left town, and Hank amt
seen it since and is carrying his
hand around in sling.
This merely goes to show that it
don't always pay to be kind to ami
mails. Sometimes it pays good
cal better to not be kind to en-.

Darius Applebee had a bad misfor-
tune to happen to him the other ev'g.
Darius wife baked some cherry pies
outen some cherries which she put up
last summer, and she had one of the
pies right fresh outen the oven for
supper. Darius is great hand for
cherry pie. He says there is only one
kind of pie that he likes better than a
cherry pie, and that's another cherry
pie lust like it. Well, when Darius took
the first bite outen the cherry pie he
gasped. My conscience, I've went and
broke my teeth -
Sure enough, it was true. Darius
store teeth, which he only purchased
new at the Co. seat about a month ago
and paid $40 for, fell out on the supper
table in two pieces with the plate
cracked right acrost. Darius was pretty
mad and didn't have no appetite for
cherry pie after that happened. He says
if the dentist who made them teeth

he took, and didn't realize there was
anything outen the way until he fell
outen the buggy and Bill didn't miss
HIM and driv on into Bingvile without

asked what had become Of Seth.
About 10 clock that cv'q Seth ar

store, where he upset the scales and
throwed box of dried herrings on the
floor, and when Hen called his atten-

he'd put him under Arrest.
Seth's friends finally indooced him
to go home and to bed, and by the next
morning Seth was all right again ex-

EDDYTORIUL

A couple of things has happened
in our midst during the past week
(which moves us to write a editorial
on kindness to Animals - And
What Comes From It."
When we was a boy we was
learnt at school and at home that
we ought to be kind to animals and
this is popular learning yet. The
reason this idea has got around of
being kind to animals is probably
because animals is poor dumb
brutes and amt able to take care of
themselves, which is true in some
instances and turrible mistake in
others, as we be agoing to show, as
folders:
Last Tuesday morning Deacon
Butterworth, one of the stanchest
pliers of the Bingville church,
started down street about 9 o'clock
on his reglar morning walk from
Ibis house to the P. 0. to see if
there was any mail for him. The
deacon was very cheerful and full
Iof good spirits and intoxicated
with the Joy of living, as you might
SAY, being as he had skinned Hold
Peters in horse swop the day be-
fore. The Deacon was at peace
with ali the world, as it were, and
had no animosity in his heart to-
ward any living critter.
Well, when the Deacon got to
the P. o. Hiram Beebe's old gray
mare Satan" was standin' hitched
to the rail in front of the P. O.,
being as Hiram had rid in from
Snake Bend after his mail. (In-
cidentally it has allus been a nys-
terry to us whyever Hiram went and
Icalled his gray mare Satan" being
as we allus thought that Satan was
Ia be.) Satan she was half asleep
there in the sunshine and the Dea-
con, who felt soft and tender. as
1--we have said above, was took with
a desire to go over and pat Satan
lon her nose just to show how kind
Ihe felt, and so he walks over and
Ilavs his hand on Satan's nose and
lsavs something kind Of cooin' to
Iher, and she opens her eyes and lays
hack her ears and give squeal and
made a grab at the Deacon with
Iher teeth right on the shoulder and
Ipinched him till his shoulder was
iblack and blue and hurts him now
