Tered at him to bring that chair back,

EDDYTORIUL.

A considerable spell has passed
sinst our board of trade was elect
ed, and we desire to ask in this
editorial what the Bingville Board
of Health and more especially the
Board of Trade, has did, if any,
think, for the good of the town I?
There hasn't been no manufack-
shuries or mills or anything of that
kind come to Bingville sinst they
was elected to office, SO as YOU
could notise it, has there? What is
a Board of Trade for anyhow il it
amt to indooce MISUNDERSTANDING
industries to settle in our midst?
When the members of our Board
of Trade was eleckted into office
didn't they promise they would
do the town some good? Have
they did it7 No, they have not
did it, and it don't look to us as
if they was going to did it.
How can you expect town the
size of Bingville to grow and
branch and spread out and i'm
prove, as you might say, unless the
Board of Trade takes holt and
does somethink7 All the manufack-
shuring industry which has came
to Bingyille sinst our last Board of
Trade was elected Is Wise SNYDER
who moved here from the Co. seat
and set hisself UP az q cobbIer but
being as the residents of Bingyille
have went and bought tools and
do most of their own cobbling.
Wise blamed neer starved to deth
and at last he returned to the Co.
seat where he come from, in dis
gust, and spread the news around
that Bingville was the tight wad-
dest place he ever had anythi1k to
do with in all his born days.
Wise is the only manufackshur-
| ing industry which has settled in
our midst for turrible long spell
back, and We are of the opinion
that It wasn't the Board of Trade
which got him here and that he
would have come to Bingville
spite of the Board of Trade.

STUCK UP &
SPLINHERD!
That's WOt Happend to Hank Dew
berry lest BeCuz He Diddent
Tend to His Own BiznesS Like
He 0Tt to Of Did---ThTiIIin Par
tickIeTS Below!

Hank Dewberrx got hisself into aw-
full mess one day last week. Hank went
out into the woods to pick some fir bal
sam to help fill a bed tick with, and
little while after Hank got into the
woods he happened to notice a hedge
hog workin in pine tree about 80 feet
from the ground.
If Hank had of went along about his
business and let the hedgehog alone, all
would of been well, but that's not like
Hank The hedgehog never done moth
ink to him, but Hank was in for KILN
it before he done another thing. He
didn't have no gun nor nothink with
him, so he up and throwed stones at the
hedgehog, without hitting it any, until
his arm got so sore that he couldn't
scarcely move it.
Then Hank got mad and he says to
hisself. "Pll fix you, durn your skin! !"
So he TUX off his shoes and begin to
shin up the tree. Hank elm and elm,
and so did the hedgehog, until it got
most up to the topmost limb and could
go no farther, and Hank he out with his
pen knife and cut off stout limb and
made club and elm up and hauled off
and hit the hedgehog rap and knocked
it outen the tree
Then Hank he slid back down the
tree as fast as he could slide, and when
he got to the bottom he found the
hedgehog walllin around in a ring kind
of dizzy and foolish like, and Hank
drawed back with one foot and kicked
the hedgehog a turrible hard belt right
in the ribs before he happened to think
that he hadn't nothink on his feet but
his socks.
The agony which follered to Hank
can better be described than imagined.
He got one foot jest plum full of spines
from the hedgehog, which made him
lay down on the ground and roll and
boiler for help. But there was no help
nearer than Bingville, which was three
mile away, and of course nobody heerd
him, so after Hank had hollered hisself
hoarse and outen breath, he CANNED
down and begin to pull the spines outen
his foot Every time he would pull one
out Hank said it was jest like pullin
tooth, only except worse.
After Hank got most of the spines
outen his foot, he looked round for the
hedgehog, but it was gone and Hank
was glad of it. He caIl1ilates it excaped
while he was busy with his foot
To make matters worse, when Hank
took notice of hisself he was turrible
Disguised to find that his clothes was all
stuck Up with a turribie mess of pine
pitch which had been oozin outen the
tree which he had elm up, being as it
was turrible hot day and the pitch'was
sticky.
Hank put on one shoe, but he couldn't
wear tother one on his sore foot, so he
walked back to Bingville wearing one
shoe on his well foot and the other in
his hand. Soon as he got home he
changed clothes and throwed the stuck
up ones away, being as he says he can't
never get the pitch outen them as long
as he lives Also he couldn't get the
pitch often his hands, and he says he
