MURDER!
That's What Seth DeWberry Our
Town COnstubhIe Believes Has
Took Place In Our Midst and
Seth Says He Will Run the
City Parties to Earth or Bust
in the Attemut Particu-
lars Below.

Bingville amt been stirred up for /
turrible long spell as it has been for tn,
past few days by what Seth Dewberry
| our 1ion-hearted town constubb1e be-
lieves to be murder which has beer
committed in our midst Consterna-
shion has rained soopreme and what
has occurd has been about the only
topick of conversation in Bingville
sinst it happend.
Last Wensday AMI Gookins went
out to his pastchure back of Bingville
to salt his cattle. Jest after he had
crossed the footing over the brook and
had elm the fence into the pastchure
Amzi's attenchion was attrackted to
somethink red on the ground near the
fence and he went up closer to see what
it was.
Well, to make a long story short it
was blood-that's what it wasi
AMI hurried up and sailed the cattle
and returned home and went down to
Hen Weathersby's store and told there
what he had found. Seth Dewberry,
Bingville town constubble, was among
them present and he was turrible inter-
ested at onct. Seth he askt Ami lot
of questshions about what he had found,
as to how long the blood had been
there, did he see any signs of strug-
gle or of the body being drug away.
ETC., ETC.. and cushioned AMI to tell
the truth, the whole truth and nothink
but the truth, becuz if he diddent it
would go hard with him. AMI was
purity sSeert, as he was afeard Seth
might accuse him of the murder, where
as he said he was as innocent as lam.
Seth said he wouldn't give no opinion
about the murder until he had went to
the scene of the crime and looked for
clews, which he would do right off.
Seth said he wassent surprised that
AMI hadn't found emmy clews becuz
how could you expecl1t a person who
wassent a detecktif to see things that
he (Seth) would see as plain as day,
being as his life had been devoted to
trackin desprit criminals to earth, as
you might say.
So Seth he went home and got some |
.xtry cartridges for his revolver and |
polished up his constubble badge and |
yet out for where AMI had found the /
blood follered by several of our most
'especkted citizens. who was ankshious

EDDYTORuu.

Thanksgiving time don't come
until November when we, the in
habitants of Bingvil1e, will devote
a whole day to returning thanks
for whatever we have to be thank
full for, or if we amt got nothing
to be thankful for we will be as
thankful as we can for whatever
we have got to be thankful for and
be thankful it amt no worse than il
is.
In spite of the fackt that Thanks
giving day is so fur in the fuchure,
we are agoing to write a breef
eddytoriul this wk. on being thank
full. In our opinion Thanksgiving
day ort to be changed from Novem-
Der to August, becuz now is the
proper time to return thanks
instid of postponing same until for a
couple or three months from now.
At this writing most everybody
in Bingvil1e has harvested their
crops and garnered them into their
bins and graneries which is now
tllled fit to bust and running over
and for this reason we are of the
opinion that this is sufficient rea-
son for returning thanks for SIGH
bounty which has been visited upon
us.
We are of the opinion that all
the citizens of Bingvi1le and the
farmers of the surrounding com
munity ort to set a day apart to
be devoted to returning thanks for
all his. The wheat crop is turrible
big this yr., likewise corn, hay,
oats, potaters, ct cetery too numer-
Gus to mentchion.
We persoom that everybuddv in
Bingville would jine hands in de-
voting a day to thanksgiving SIGH
as we have mentchioned excepting
Dave Whittleby, who lives two
miles south of Bingville, and amt
fetched his harvesting as yet. Dave
he sets on the PLAYER and smokes
his old corncob pipe and says he's
too plum drove up with work of
one kind and another to do his
harvestin. That's the trouble with
Dave Whittieby-he's siowern cold |
nolasses and allus behint like a ole
cows tail.
