One of the biggest S, most ospishus
occasions which has been held in ouI
! midst of its kind sinst it was held ir
our midst a yr ago was the reglar
annual mtg of the Punkin Grange OF
Bingville 6 vicinity which convened
in our Town Hall last Thursday morn
ing and continued to convene all day
until evg.
Early Thursday morning folks from
outside of Bingville begin to arrive
for the Grange mtg and by o'clock the
town was congested with people, horses,
buggies, Wagons s. dog fites
The mtg was formally opened at
a. m. promt by Rev. Saml Moore, be-
lowed paster of the Bingville church,
who used prayer to open the Grange
with after which Rev. Moore made a
few we'll chose remarks BETTING the
occashion and set down.
Then everybuddy present jined their
voices in singing the Grange song en-
titled, "Nobul Tillers of the Soil"
Miss Milly Underwoods melodeum had
been carried to the town to play the
accompaniment for this grand chorus
but the strident voices of the singers
was so loud that Milly who was play
ing the melodeum couldn't be heerd at
all though she pumped air into the in
strument with her feet until she was
all tired out and was afeard she would
bust the thing
One of the biggest events of the day
was a leckshure by State Leckshurer.
Sam Peppers from the CO seat Sam
spoke on the follering subjeckt, viz.
towit What Shall We do To the Boil
Weevil?"
Sam got good cal sweat up when
he warmed up to his subjeckt and
swung his arms around his head and
hollered SO loud agin the boil weevil
that he could be heerd all over town
if the Town Hall winders had been up.
After Sam had talked half hour and
had called the boil weevil about every
name he could lay his tongue to, he
begin to git horse, being as his voice
was going back on him and finally he
got so bad that he couldn't speeek
above whisper and after a few gasps
he throwd up his hands and set down
in disgust.
1t was the general opinyon that if
Sam could of held out little longer
he would of give recipe to our
farmers hereabouts for Grading the
boil weevil, but as it as nobuddy who
how to git shet of the boil weevil than
they did before Sam begin to speak.
The next thing on the programme
was a bounteous lunch served in the
basement of the Town Hall When
all was ready the men folks who was
impasheintly waiting upstairs was in
vlted down &c partake. At this an
nouncement there was a awful rush
down the stairs for the lunch in which
several was squose and mussed up

most respeckted citizens. was throwd
down and tramped Oh in the scrim-
mage.

" groaned under the weight of choice
vlands. All become seated on the
lrst seat they could grab and without
