picked Roosevelt delegation to Chicago,
with instructions what to do Knowing
their delegates. they sat back at home,
watched the proceedings from afar. and
xept Gsm %hsn the Gbss 5sd came there
further instructions. The delegates from
West Virginia were fully aware OF the
determined sentiment Of the men who
sent them there. The people back here
sontatlves In Chicago would do about
as they wanted them to. SO, when they
followed Colonel Roosevelt Into an
other other convention, there was no .ap-
approval.
Not q Backwoods State.
West Virginia is no longer back
woods State. Every farmer in the State
gets daily paper delivered near his
door They were posted on every move
In the national convention. and in the
towns and cities, they knew hourly
each development In the coliseum. BY
the time the delegates returned home
the people OF this State were OF the opin-
Ion that the nomination had been OBJ
tIined by fraud.
The Republicans themselves, except-
ing the original Taft men, most of
whom hold Office, voiced their approval
OF what their delegates had done.
There was no need Of any further light
upon the subject. There has been no
change OF sentiment since, except that
the Roosevelt movement has grown, BY
leaps and bounds. and 10 today a sur
prise to any person who takes the pains
to investigate among the people them
selves.
This situation has come about with
no aid from a State press. In fact, Il
has come about In spite Of a strong
Taft newspaper influence. These West
Virginia people do not know how Col
onei Roosevelt has Jared on his recent
western tour. What they read In state
as to really bring encouragement, II
these people were easily discouraged.
But they have gone on about their daily
pursuits and instead OF waning, the
Roosevelt sentiment In West Virginia
has become stronger.
There are several counties In the State
where not n word favorable to the Pro-
gressive cause 10 printed. The old IA
vorite county newspapers are support
ing President Taft. with vigor and ve-
hemence. One would expect to fnd the
Taft sentiment growing there. and the
Roosevelt followers changing front.
The % real surprise in this State is met
with when one gets out In the hamlets
There are any number OF men who have
been Democrats since before the war
who announce their determination to
vote for Colonel Roosevelt this year.
The young men. too. many OF the hrst
voters. are strong for the Progressive
movement. and have no hesitancy In
declaring their preferences openly.

EDDYTORIIu,

| Well, here we are right on the
threshold of September, or to be
more accurate this is the first day
of September and the beginning of
Ottum. My, how time flies! 1t
don't seem but a little while sinst
last spring and not much longer
sinst September a yr ago.
This eddytoriul is to be wrote on
the subjeckt of ''Ottum-Its Cause
&Efeckt."
In the first place Ottum is caused
by summer disappearing. When
summer disappears somethink has
to take its place, SO Ottum steps in
and continues until snow flies.
There is four seasons, spring, sum-
mer, Ottun and winter. And of
all the seasons we hate to see Or
tum come the worst.
The coming of Ottum allus re-
minds us that it won't be long until
winter sets in and we hate winter
like a cat hates soap. In the winter
the snow falls several feet deep in
Bingville and vicinity, and it gifts
cold enuff to freeze the horns often
a muley COW and the north wind
almost blows hole through a fell
Ter, and we, in common with the
rest of the inhabitants of this town
wastes all Our energy in tryin to
keep from freezin to deth until Joy
Gus spring comes into Our midst
agin.
! Not only that, but our printing
ink runs slowern cold fnolasses and
everything about the Bugle offs
seems to be froze up, inclooding the
offs towel, which gifts as stiff as a
board SO that when you bend it in
wiping your Ease its liable to break
in your hands.
| Ottum is also the saddest and
most melancholy time of the yr.
| It's turrible sad time for us when
we stop to think that most of our
subscribers has their crops gethered
and sold and that in spite of this
| fackt the dead beets amongst en-
amt paid US a red cent on back
subscripshions, on which they owe
US anywheres from S. to SIS
That's why Otturn makes us feel
| that life is a snare and a delooshion
and that what's the use living any
/ how?
| Miss Sally Hoskins, our talented
ipoet writer, promised to write us a
pome on "Otturn'' for this ishue.
| but at the last ni1nit Sally come to
the offs and explained that owing
to the fackt that she was having q
new dress made for herself by Miss
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1912-09-01

Phoebe Hilderbrand, our stylish
dressnaker, and was so busy hav-
ing fits, being as she had had five
fits in two days and was to have
three more fits, she hadn't got to
writing a pome on "Ottum" and
calkilated she wouldn't have time
to do so for a wk or two.
This was a turrible disappint-
ment to us, being as some of Sa1ly's
PONIES have appeared in the columns
of the Bugle in the past and have
been commented on very high by
lovers of good Etterachoor. Sally
has wrote two or three PONIES
which has appeared in the co. seat
papers and she has what you might
call a nashional reputashion. In
view of the fackt that Sally amt
wrote no porne on Ottun we print
below a pome on the same subieckt
by some famous orthur whose
name has excaped us for the mo-
ment, and the words of the ponne
has also almost excaped us, but as
we remember it the same runs
somethink as folders:

The potato crop in and around Bing-
vile promises to be very slim this VI

ennybuddy with emmy sents knows that
potatoze won't do any good when the
blamed potato bugs goes and eats all
the tops often them.
Bige Barker has been bothered tur-
rible by potato bugs this year. Bige
has two acres of potatoze planted at the
lower edge of town and when the potato
bugs begin to show up on EN- Bige he
undertook to pick all the potato bugs
often the potatoze every day, but it
wassent no use.
Bige says the potato bugs on his
potatoze was thickern blueberries on
Sawridge Mountaing and they seemed
to come Eastern he could pick EN-.
Bige picked 2 gal pail full of potato
bugs one forenoon, and when he went
to look over the tops he had jest picked
often he says there was jest as many
more waitin to be picked BY this time
Bige's back ached him so that he give
up the job in disgust and was SO mad
that he give the 2 gals of potato bugs
that he had picked vishious fling and
scattered EN- all over the potatoze agin
and then went home in disgust This,
of course, was a foolish thing to do.
Biee then sent to the co seat and got
5 lbs of Paris Green and MKT this up
with flour and water and sprinkled the
potato tops with it, but as fur as Bige
can see it diddent hurt. EN- a mite.
Bige says on the contrary the bugs
seemed to kind of thrive on the Paris
Green and fat up, and as result Bige
has quit using any more Paris Green

Hen Weathersby, prop. of our gen

that the potato bugs is so thick in Bing-
vile and vicinity this yr. Hen says
that last spring when he was lookin
over his books he heerd a noise behint
him and when he looked around there
was the great grand-uncle of all the
potato bugs ever born perched on the
back of his chair. Hen says this
was the biggest potato bug he ever
seen in his life and he calkilates it
was lookin over his shoulder on his
book to see jest who had bought seed

We calkilate, however, that this is
one OF Hens jokes.
