FINANCIAL EDDYTORIUL

For quite a spell back we have
been thinl<in of writing a eddyto-
riul on the follering vital subjeckt,
towit: why Is Money So
Tight?"
Now we have made up our mind
to put our thort into ackshion and
write said eddytoriul without NAL
ice or favor and let the chips fall
where they will. AS we look back
on Our checkered career as edditor
& Prop & everything else connecl<t-
ed with the Bugle, we can put our
eddytoriul hand on our heart and
say that we can't recollackt when
ready cash was as skeerce in our
midst or to US personally as it is at
the present writing and has been
for several months.
We can't see how it's possibil for
money to be emmy skeercer with us
than heretofore, but it is neverthe-
less. Why, money was more plen-
tifuller with us during the panick
of 1779 than it is now, and old Dad
Henderson, our Oldest inhabitant,
says it's skeercer with him than it
was during the Revolooshionary
War, whenever that was.
What is the cause of this, we
ask? We pause for a reply and
then we anser: 1--WE don't know. /"
It amt very often that we ask a
questshion which we can't anser,
but this is excepshion to the gen.
era1 rule.
We read In a City paper which
Eph Higgins, our accommodating
P. NJ, received by mistake at the
P. O., and opened and TUX it home
to see what was going on in the
outside world if anything and
then lent to us-we read in that
paper that this money tightness
don't only exist in Bingville, but
all over the country, and that it is
due to the fackt that business is
unsettled and folks who has money
is afeard to invest same for fear
they'll lose it into the bargain, and
as a result their keeping their
money in their socks or in the
clock or hid somewheres about the
house until bizness picks up & re-
soomes the even tenner of its way.
In order to git at the root of
this matter we have gave several
of our most respeckted citizens of
Bingville & visinitty a opportunity
| to express theirselfs on @Why Is
Money so Tight :" with the fol-
lowing result:
Hen Wcathersby, prop of our
general store The reason money
is so alfred lite is becuz folks is
more stingier than they used to Be.

BY day mantle of smoke cloaks
the shoulders of the mountain. At

Thus far there has been no loss
Of life and little damage to property,
though it is possible that the damage
may be enormous.
Mt. Tamalpais lies north of San
Francisco and is plainly visible from
heights IN the c' NJ Besides several
large hotels, there are numerous cot.

mountain Is the most crooked in the

advertised. 1t IS SO situated that the
trade winds of the summer sweep in
from the Pacific. In the afternoons
these become stronger, and this fact
accounts for the flames being famed

is located San Quentin prison, and
numerous landing places around the
