body to buy themselves into Office.
That seems reasonable. St was rea

the men who uttered the most fervid
praise of the Constitution Of the United

used TO get behind those Instruments

Its quite warm as we 60 to press bn
nobuddy cant tell what day may bring
forth--it may be cooler tomorrow.
If YOU amt got your garden seeds
planted yet you're away behind time and
you might jest as well wait until next
spring.
! A leetle mite of a rain wouldn't do
any harm being as the sproutin crops
could stand it. Lige Cooper had pub
lick auckshion at his place a mile south
of Bingville last Thursday Lige sold
off everything and says he is going
to git job at the CO. seat The reason
Lige is breakin up tousekeepin is be-
cuz his wife and him couldn't hit il
very we'll and she left him some time
sinst and told him he could go to blazeS
fer all of her. Lige says he'd ruther
go to blazes than to try to live with her.
We would like TO git holt of few dol
lers on back subscripShions il its all the
same TO them as owes us anywheres
from 10 to IS yrs We calkilste If each
of these would let us have say a dol
lar each they wouldn't skeercely miss il
and we would be rich beyond the fond
est dreams of avariSe.
These is about all the personalities we
can think of at the present writing and
yet we ealkilate II we would think hard
we might think up a few more but
these is enuff for the present.

Doc Livermore had turrible pain
in his stumnick tother day. Doc says
he cant think wot give it to him less it
was new pill he got up and TUX one
bv way of experiment The curious
part of it is that the pill he tux was
sonethink he got up to cure stummick
ache and Doe says if 1t beings on a
stunmick ache instid of curin one he
caIkilates he'd better not give emmy of
them pills to his pashients.
We amt had emmy FIRE alarms IN our
midst for long spell back for which
we OFT to be devoutly thankful. But
let u. not boast and brag and relax our
viRiIence-in the midst of peace per-
pare for battle.
Sine Wilkins has turrible sore corn
toe which Is giving him good cal of
angwish and causing him good cal of
perfanitty.
Alonzo Skillings of Calamity was in
Bingville tother day and was follered
HON nine miles by Hank Dewberry's
hound pup and Hank had to walk all
the way to Alonzo's after the pup and
lead him home. Hank says the pup
was a fool to foller Alonzo home and
Alonzo was also to let the pup do so.
Hank was purity mad about it.

EDDITORIUL.

Let us have another St. light in
Bingvillel
For 10 these many yrs we have
had but one st. light in the town,
which Is the one which is located
in the middle of the Publick So in
front of the Town Hall-and it
amt lit half the time. And when
It is lit you cant skeercely see it
moren 30 #. distant, being as It
is a oil lamp and the wick in same
don't work right and besides the
glass around the lamp is all
smootched up so as the light from
the lamp which amt emmy to speak
of can't seem to filter through the
glass, which makes US think of
that scriptchural quotashion about
seein thro a glass darkly.
This one dark light which is the
only light Bingville has ever had
is a disgrase to the town in our
opinion, and If our town seleckt-
men had emmy spunk & git-up to EN-
they would put in more lights. This
one light which we now have, amt
no bettern no light tall. It's good
cal as Didyrnus Applebee says.
Tother evg Didymus was a going
home from the P. O., and while
crossing the publicl square right
under the light as you might say,
he run aginst a saw horse which
Lem Brown, Our expert carpenter
had left there inadvertently instid
of taking same on home as he had
intended. Well, Didymus ranrned
right into the saw horse and fell
over 1t right onto his face, and like
to have flattened his nose for him
flattern pancake. Worst of it was,
that when Didymus fell he had his
hands in his pockets, and couldn't
git EN- out quick enuf to break his
fall, and as a result his own face
received the brunt of the fall. Didy-
linus got up with his eyes worter-
ling and the lanwidge he used was
SIGH that Mrs. Anne Hillyer, who
Twas setting out on their front
,.piazzer hghtin nuskeeters, had to
git up and go into the house, being
as she is a self respecting woman
land perfanity shocks her awful.
Lem he walked out under the
light to where Didynus was
Iswearin and cussin and askt him
wot he meant by using that kind
of lanwidge in front of his wife
| James wife, of course, becuz Didy-
mus would be afeard to swear like
that in front of his own wife and
that he ort to be ashamed of his
self to give expression to hisself
in that manner in front of a lady,
