MARRIAGES

Enos McCracleen, one of our most
popular young men, and Miss Abigail
Johnson, was united in the holy bonds
of wedlock on Thursday last at high
noon by Rev. Samuel Moore, at the par
sonage, who performed the operashion.
Miss Abigail was dressed in white and
looked beautiful, while Enos was clad
in a new store suit which fit him per-
feckt except the pants was too long and
had to be turned up.
Rev. Moore usually charges s. to
marry folks. but Enos beat him down
to S1.25 in this case, and said he would
pay the other IS cents if Abigail turned
out to be as good wife as he expected.
The happy young couple will go to
housekeeping in Bingville, where Enos
is engaged in the huckster business. The
Bugle hastens to extend congratula-
shions.

EDDYTORIUL

We take our pen in hand this
| suspicious occasflion to inscribe for

date of yesterday-in other words,
we be agoing to pay tribute to a
man who for love of his country,
for being a good citizen, brave
man in war, a politishion and a
statesman, reminds us good cal of
ourselfs.
We refer to G. Washington, the
father of his country and the LIST
President of the u. S. We wouldn't
consider we had did our duty I'M
less we wrote sometlrink for this
issue about G. Washington, whose
birthday was yesterday. Last night
at Hen Weathersby's store we men
shioned casual that we was going
to write a eddytoriul for this weeks
Bugfe on G. Washington, when
Ranse Snyder ups and says 1--WE
lived in this neighborhood going on
SO year and I'll be jiggered if I
ever heered of anybody in the place
named Washington" which only
goes to show how turrible ignorunt
Ranse is. He ort to be ashamed of
hisself not to know who George
Washington was, but we persoom
there is others as ignorant as Ranse
in this town if they'd only admit it.
G. Washington was LIST in war,
1st in peace and LIST in the hearts of
his countrymen. George is the man
who crossed the Delaware river one
dark, stormy night when the FLYER
was full of floating ice 6 Georges
skates so dull he had turrible time
gettin acrost at all.
We could give further historic
fackts concerning G. Washington if
we could only think of EN- and had
space to devote to same. But we
consider we have did Our duty by
these few facf>ts which we have

Buttin for Bige
That's What He Got From a Very
OnexpeCkted Sourse-FuII
PartickIerS Below

Bige Barker, one of our most re
| specified townsmen, met with pc
culiar and unexpected axident on last
! Thursday. Last spring the mother OF
one of Bige's lambs died, and SO he
took the lamb into the house to bring
it up by hand, and in time it devel-
oped into a ram sheep very tame and
always in somebody's road.
This pet ram sheep would follow
Bige around most everywhere. 1t
was common sight to see it follow
ing him down Main street to the P.
O.. when Bige went for the mail But
the ram sheep never showed its nasty
disposition until last Friday morn
ing.
On said morning Bige went out to
the wood heap back of his house to
carry an arrnful of wood into the
kitchen for his wife, and while Bige
was STOPPING over, picking UP the
wood the sheep struck from the rear,
butting Bige clean over the wood pile
and splitting all the wood he had in
his arms and injuring his feelings con-
siderable.
1t was a turrib1e shock to Bige, be-
ing as he wasn't thinking of such a
thing Bige hadn't any more than got
on his feet until the ram sheep hit
him again in the same place as pre-
vious, but before it could escape Bige
grabbed it by the horns and held it
firmly and kicked it until his feet
ached. Then instead of letting the
ram sheep loose he drug it to the
kitchen door and letting go of it
suddenly jumped inside and slammed
the door shut. Since then Bige has
hardly dared to venture outen the
house.
Bige says any person desiring to
purchase ram sheep, either for pet
or for mutton, will do well to call
on him, being as he has one which he
will sell cheap and no questshions
asked or answered
