Our recollection amt just quite
clear on what followed. All that
we know it that there was swish
roar and a stream of flame came
from the lower end of the sky
rocket, severely scorching three
fingers on the hand we use to write
with. This was followed by an
awful exploshion and then the sky
rocket fell down and begin to shoot
round betwixt the legs of the spec
tators present
Immediately the crowd which
had assembled to see our own per-
sona1 display of fireworks dispersed
to their various homes as fast
as they could dispense, hollering
'Fire!" as loud as they could hol-
Ter.
The excitement was intents and
CONSERVATION rained supreme. At
ter the skyrocket had fooled and
fzz1ed round a while it petered out.
Then we struck match and found
our hat, which had been lost dur
ing the excitement, clapped it on
our head and went home in deep
disgust, carrying under our arm
the other skyrockets which we had
bought to set off, but which we
now have put away to be used by
posterity on some future 4th of
July, being as if anybody in this
world ever induces us to set off
another skyrocket they will haft to
do it over our dead body.
Personally, we are glad the 4th
is over and that it won't come
round again for a year

vile 4th of July doings in another

Hanks Highest Ambitions

Hank Dewberry, our respeckted but
doess citizen, has been talking a great
deal lately about buying a motorcycle.
Hank says he thinks the motorcycle is
one of the greatest invenshions which
has ever been invented for getting a
person from one place to another a
considerable distance away in the quick
est time possibel. Hank says if he can
scrape enough ready money together
blamed if he won't have one.
Personally, we wouldn't care to own
a motorcycle. We have saw 3 or of
the blamed things pass through our
midst at the rate of about 60 miles =
hr. making a noise like the 4th of
July, and we wouldn't ride one unless
we took our life in our hands.
Hen Weathersby told Hank when
Hank told him he was a goin to pur-
chase a motorcycle that he'd just as
lief ride a bunch of cannon crackers
as one of them things, and we indorse
Hens opinion. Hank says, however
that nobuddy can talk him out of buy
ing a motorcycle. Hank says he can
get a second hand one he knows about
for $50, and that he has already saved
up $1.75 of that amount. At this rate
Hank won't have a motorcycle until
he's about 90 yrs. old and then he'll
be too decripit to ride the pesky thing.

CORN Has a Bad Cold

CORN Hankins went out tother day to
build a stone fence 1t was turrible hot
and after CORN had logged heavy
stones for a hr or 2 he was dripping
7:ct with perspiration.
CORN got so SWEET up he was miser-
able, SO he went home to get cooled off.
1t was almost as hot in the house as it
was outside So CORN went down and
set in the cellar beside his hard cider
bari, from which he refreshed himself
from time to time.
By and by he went to sleep and fell
often the box he was settin on to the
floor and jest lay there. When he
woke up it was past p. m. and CORN
was so cold he shivered. Next morn
ing he woke up with what he says is
the turriblest cold he ever had in his
life, not only in his head and chest,
but throat also. CORN can't speak
above a whisper and it is a effort for
him to do that.
Doc Livermore says if CORN don't
come to him he may pass away. CORN
says he wouldn't pass away no quicker
if he stayed away from Doc Livermore.
He guesses he'll take a chance, being
as he would about as lief pass away
anyhow as feel so miserable.

skinning him up considerable. IL says
he thought Susy would of learned
more sense than to get skeered at any
thing at her age.
Lark Jones is helping Moze Hing
ham build a fence at present. Lark
and Moze differs on politics and so
spend so much time argifying that they
don't get much fence built. Lark argi-
fes more than Moze, being as when he
argiies he don't work. Still his pay
goes on.
Mrs. Jemima Hoff went to throw out
the dish water from her back kitchen
door last Tuesday and it hit Jim Hoff,
her husband, who was just coming in
the door, right in the face. Jim talked
so sharp to Jemima that she was
obliged to whack him over the head
with the dish pan to make him keep
quiet.
News are very skarce with us this
week, but we hope they will be more

Bingville, hollerin and yelling as loud
as they could in celebration of the day
After them come the Bingville Horn
Band, the music of which was almost
drownded out by the I'd seckshion OF
the parade. The last seckshion con-
sisted of children and dogs (mostly
dogs) which brought up the rear and
added to the noise.
At p. m. all of Bingville turned out
to the Town Hall to hear the patriotick
address of Jed Peters, our Intelligent
school teacher, who had been working
on his speech for the last two weeks.
The Town Hall was crowded to suf-
focashion, as you might say, being as
about two-thirds of the audience was
obliged to stand. Some went to the
Town Hall as early as 10 o'clock and
set there from 10 to l to be sure of a
seat. Jed done fine and everybody was
proud of him. He talked for nearly
half hour and only stopped once to
take a drink of water, which went
down the wrong way, choking him up
so that he couldn't say thing for
nearly minutes. Amir Haines, who
set on the platform. hit Jed a turrible
wa1lop in the back, which kind of
seemed to bring him round, after which
he went on with his speech.
After Jed had delivered his orashion.
everybuddy adjourned to the lawn un-
der the trees in the rear of the hall,
where the Ladies Aid of the Bingville
Church served dinner at Is cts. per
head, the proceeds to be devoted to
paying off a porshion of Rev. Moore's,
our beloved pastors, back salary.
$1475 was realized by this, which will
be quite a boon to Rev. Moore, being
as his finances is very low at the pres
ent time
Several accidents happened during
the day and evg., but as we said be-
fore, this was to be xpected-accidents
always goes with the 4th of July
Following is a list of accidents:
Little Tommy Barker, thumb burned
by a irecracker. Cy Hosl1ins, whiskers
singed. Eb Wilson, hat bowed off by
cannon cracker throwed by parties I'M
knowed. Yves Woodruff, escaped injury.
(See Eddytoriul.) Hen Weathersby, hit
on top of the head by descending sky
rocket. Miss Amelia Tucker, our rain
ing society queen, hair caught fire, but
Amelia was not injured, being as she
quickly snatched off the switch-switch,
total loss. We persoom other accidents
happened which we will hear of later.

AFTER THE 18th EDDYTO-
RHJT

We amt got the head nor skurce-
ly the hand to write a eddytoriul
for this issue of the Bugle, being
as we are incapacitated for this i'm
portant duty because we INDUCED
in too much patriotism on the
Glorious 4th.
1t will be remembered that last
week we dasht off a eddytoriul
calling on all representative citti-
zens of Bingvi11e to put their Shout
ders to the wheel so to speak and
help to celebrate July 4th in Bing-
vile in a fitting and oshpishious
manner.
Well, we al1us practise what we
preach-it amt our custom as edi-
tor and prop. of the Bugle to ad-
wise others to do somet11ink which
we won't do ourself. Sinst we
called on the patriots of Bingville
to raise up and celebrate this G1ori-
Gus Day of American independence
which has just passed by and is
now gone and went forever, we
felt it Our sacred duty as a citizen
to be present right in the front
rank of the celebrators.
We WAS in the front rank all
right, but as we look back on the
turrible experience through which
we went we feel it would of been
a good cal better if we had of been
in the rear rank or had of re-
manned at home and attended
stricl<tly to our own business. The
facts is these:
On the evg. of the 18th we an
nounced that we would personally
and at our own expense put off
some skyrockets on the publick
square which we had purchased
with money earned in the sweat of
our brow. It was about 9 o'clock
when we proceeded to do so.
There was a large crowd present
to witness this free-for-all per-
Torrance of fireworks which we so
magnanimously contributed, and
we confess it was with considerable
pride that we planted the first sky
rocket in the ground and got ready
to touch the thing off.
Before doing SO we made few
patriotic remarks to them as was
assembled, about America, the land
of the free and the home of the
brave, and also touched eloquently
on the birthday of American indie
pendence.
Then in a digni6ed manner we
scratched a match on the seat of
our trousers and applied it to the
fuse of the skyrocket
