YOUR votes, every one of them.
And for Christiansted Country district:
Do not forget to vote for Planters E. '.
Svitzer, and c. Leevy, OF Little and l."
grande Prineesse.
You perhaps ask why you should do SO?
Well, in reply | would briefly point out the
following facts.
l. All of these men have already faith
fully served you in the Council.
2. You are perfectly aware that not one
of them is afraid nor ashamed to husband
the cause of us, poor Santa Cruzians, gener-
ally; not one of them having previously fled
from his post of duty in your behalf III the
Council because of certain imaginary dan
gers.
3 Remember that had it not been for
their sympathy for the Community at large
the 50 cents (Fr. 2.5O) now paid by the
public for the inspection Of the dead would
have had to be paid by you indiVidua ly-
the rich and the poor alike. Just think Of
that
4. Remember that not one of them, like
the shareholders of Old, cried to Government
for protection against our leaving st. Groix
for St. Thomas, in trying to better our con-
dition.
Think we'll over the above, and vote ac-
cordingly.
5. Remember that this is no time for
trlhing with our votes.
In conclusion, l beg you not to object to
the use of a nickname in my appeal. Deal
rather with the subject matter.
Yours very faithfully,

Dear Sir
Having read with much pleasure the
article signed Ajax, and with surprise the
other signed A Voter, I am forced to beg
your indulgence for space to make a few
remarks. Ajax proposes Mr.. Creagh and Mr..
Smith as Candidates for the coming cleo
tons, and a Voter says he is interested in
the return of Lawyer Stakemann and Mr..
Creagh. Well, in answer to this, Vox Populi
says ". A. Creagh and Ex-Teacher S. A.
Smith. These last named have served you
we'll, and will serve you well. Remember
that none of these are too busy to attend
to the duty hat will be imposed on them,
therefore look we'll at the ticket and see
that you make the X at the names of
Y. A. Creagh, S. A. Smith, and as a fore
word to the Country Voters remember b. b..
Svitzer and c. Leevy.

one of these fair damsels if he can
have the pleasure of taking her
home, and after that he sparks her
every Satterday night for six or
seven years afore he can spunk tip
suffishent to ask her to be his'n
for better or for worse, after which
we have
MARRIAGE-Which is one of
the most dangerous occupashions
which a man can go into, becuz
you can't never tell by courtship
what a wife is going to be after
marriage. Sometimes wife turns
out to be a awful surprise to a hus
band. Whereas he thort she was
loving and gentle and al1us would
want him to have his own way
and didn't have no temper to speak
of, after he gifts married some
times he discuvvers that he amt
got no rights whatever which she
is bound to respeckt, and instid of
love, honor and obeying as she
promised she would he has to walk
the chalk mark and step around
whenever she speaks like as if his
own soul wasn't his own. After
marriage comes
PARENTAL RESPONSIBLE
ITIES- Which, being interpreted
for the benefit of our readers,
means that the union is blessed by
the advent of a baby which is re-
garded as a little blessing until
other babies begins to arrive to
numerous to mencslion, and after
four or five Children has come to
bless their union the arrival of
more than this number is regarded
more as a calamity instead of
blessing. Enough Children is
enough, but too many is ridicklus.
Last of all comes
OLD AGE-Gettin old and
aged is sornethink which no man
can help. He will grow old in spite
of fate and the day will come when
he will realize that he amt near SO
spry and soople as he once was.
Then he most ginerally sets in the
chimney corner and smokes his
pipe and don't do nothin in the way
of work except the light chores
about the house and watches the
younger generashions playing on
the floor and thus passes the sun
down of his life in rest and medi-
fashion.
Alas, sich is life!

the keg with rush, but alas there was
too many hauling on that rope-alas,
they overdone it Jest as the keg reach
ed the brink of the we'll it seemed to
ketch for a instant on the edge and
Hold Peters and Jim Jones they bent
over and laid holt of it with firm hands
Then the fellers on the rope give
another heave and dog-goned if the
rope didn't bust and back into the well
went the keg of hard cider. In falling
the keg struck aginst a projecktin
stone about halfway down the well,
and sad to relate one head of the keg
was busted in, and before anybuddy
could do anythink that 2-year-old hard
cider fell kersplash into the well and
become mingled as you might say with
the cold sparkling worter.
Ramse he looked as if he could be
knocked down with a feather. AS for
the rest of the fellers whose mouths
was wortering for a drink of that
delishus old hard cider it is said that
the way they swore and cursed simply
beggars descripshion and was a shame
and a disgrace for anybuddy to hear
After the hard cider had fell back
into the well and MKT with the worter
them as had been working with sich
energy to raise the timbers of the barn
marched off home in disgust, leaving
Ramse to git the rest OF his barn TIM
bers raised as best he could. Only Hank
Dewberry and Bill Hepburn, our artis-
tick blacksmith, remained behint and
told Ran1se they would stick to him
to the bitter end. Bill he got pail and
tied rope to it and lowered it into
the we'll and drawd up a pail of water
and cider and took long drink of it
and then past the pail to Hank, who
drunk also. But both Bill and Hank
was disappointed-they said that the
worter in the we'll had dilooted the
cider so much that a person would haft
to drink about five times as much as
he could hold in order to be exhilerated
any. And SO Bill and Hank also told
Rarnse that they must be a going and
they left him alone with his barn half
raised. Ramse says he don't know what
he's a going to do to git help, being as
he has no more hard cider except what's |
in the we'll

Well, the soshia1 wfirl season in
Bingville has begin to start up agin
with the arrival of cooler weather, and
it now looks as if we was a going to
have a gay season in our midst,
espeshially judging from the way
things have started out
Sally Hosleins says she is a going
to give a huskin bee in her pas barn
some time next month if there is any
corn to husk. Sally give very success
full huskin bee about a year ago, al
though some do say that she pickt out
all the red ears beforehand and hid
them where L-afe Miller could find
them. Anyhow Lafe found seven red
ears and Sally was the only girl who
got kissed on that auspishious occa-
shion.
Mrs Era Underwood give a apple
pairing party at her home Thursday

Mrs Underwood made five gals of
apple butter from the apples pared She
let the gests present taste it and ali
Pronounced it fine apple butter.
Milly Andrews attended a dance at
Hardscrabb1e last Satterday ev'g. Mi1ly
was the only girl from Bingville who
got a invite to this dance, and as a
result she was good cal stuck up over
it, although Sophy HosLIins says that
Mi1ly hinted around to get invited and
that otherwise she wouldn't of been
noticed by the invitasf1ion committee
Be this as it may, Milly says she had
first class time and dansed every set

Notice From Seth

Seth Dewberry, our lion-hearted
the owners of dogs in Bingville and
visinitty and whoever else it may con-
Germ, viz. towlt:
That every dog-goned dog in Bing
vile must have a license paid on it by
said dogs owner, or else Seth is liable
to shoot said dog on sight. Please at
tend to this innejit. Licenses may be
procured from any one of the town
se1ecktmen for 81. q dollar), per Ii
cense, per annurn. If your dog amt Ii
censed see Seth al once and perhaps
you can make some arrangements with
him to keep him from killing your dog
by paving him so cents, which would
be cheaper than buying a dog license

We have been a good cal put to
it for subjeckt to write a editorial
about for this issue of the Bugle,
and as the time drawd near for the
paper to 60 to press we couldn't
seem to think of nothing to write
about for editorial, and as a re-
suit we had almost desided that we
wouldn't write about anything
when suddint we happened to think
why wouldn't From the Cradle
to the Grave in Bingville" be a
good subjeckt for a editorial. This
subjeckt was so full of human in
terest that as soon as we thunlk of
| it we desided we would write a
editorial about same, so here goes
There is seven ages in the life
of every Bingville citizen which we
will take up one by one and con-
slider. The first is
BIRTH-Everybuddy has to be
borned sometime or other. Every
citizen of Bingvil1e who is alive at
this writing was onct a baby and
was brung into the world (like as
not by Doc Livermore) without his
knolledge or consent. He had co1ick
and had to cut his teeth and ho1-
lered and yield and KEEP his fond
parunts up at mites for several
months. Next comes
CHILDHOOD Later comes
childhood when the baby becomes
a boy (unless it was a girl to start
with) and wears his first pair of
pants and gets into all sorts of
devilment and gifts took out into
the woodshed by his mother and
tanned on the bosom of his first
pair of pants until the bosom of
the pants needs to be patched.
Childhood is a very painful stage
of life. Next is
SCHOOLDAYS - When the
boy goes to school and gets teached
lnolledge and 1earnin-fnds out
how to read and write and cipher
and do sums and make bent pins
for the teacher to set down on and
throws paper wads and shoots
beans through a bean shooter, and
thus prepares, as you might say,
for the great battle of life which
is to foller Then comes
COURTSHIP - When the
young feller begins to warsh his
face and comb his hair and wear a
billed shirt and gum collar and
take notice to the purity girls who
he sees at spellin bees and church
soshiables and singin schools and
Elsewhere and finally nusters up
eurridge to make SO bold as to ask

Local BrevitieS

When you advertise in the Bugls
don't forgit THAT it circulates among
the best families of Bingville and vicin-
itty. Them as don't take the Bugle
hereabouts don't amount to much, and
what do you care whether folks who
don't amount to much ever reads your
advertisements or not? You don't care.
Therefore advertise in the Boogle.
1t now looks as if the bell in the
Bingville church which has been crack
ed for 10, these many years might be
replaced by a new bell some time in
the far distant fuchure. The Deacons
of the church met last week and got
SO far as to consider the advisabilitv of
purchasing new bell, which they ave
but as on all former occasions when
they considered this questshion they de-
sided that they would again let the
matter drop for the present and recon-
slider it again next spring. The general
opinion among the deacons is that be-
ing as we have got along so well for
SO long with a cracked bell, what is the
use of spending money for bell what
amt cracked?
Jed Peters, Our intelligent school
teacher, opened the winter term of the
Bingville school last Monday morning
prompt at 9 a. m. with IL skollars on
hand, and before school let out in the
afternoon Jed had licked five outen the
II. Jed considers he done a purity good
days work for a starter.
Ezra Underwood says somebuddy
helped himself to his wheelbarrow
when he wasn't at home and he amt
saw wheel nor spoke of that barrow
sinst. Ez says that if the party who
borrowed same without his knolledge
or consent don't return same at once
they'll like as not find theirself in court.
Clem Wilson has a corn on his little
toe (Which little toe of which foot we
did not lern) which has been giving
him so much pain that he had to cut
a hole in his boot to ease it, almost
destroying the boot which was bought
new last spring.
