which we sufferd from on Wens-
day, so we diddent do much that
day in the writing line.
So it has went from one day to
the next, until here we be about to
go to press with no eddytoriul sub
jeckt to write about.
Therefore, this is why there
amt no eddytoriul appears in the
Bugle this wk., and we hope that
the explanashion we have made will
be satisfactory to our army of in
telligent subscribers who will be
turrible disappointed when they open
this copy of the Bugle to find there
amt no eddytoriul in it being as
they depend largely on the eddyto-
riuls which appear in the Boogle
every wk. for their opinions on the
current topicks of the day.
However, we will make up for
this defshency this wk. by writing
a live & red hot eddytoriu1 for next
wks. Bugle which will probably be
twict as strong, able & elokwent as

We don't know that we ever seen
muskeeters so thick in Bingville &
vicinity as they be at the present writ
ing. They be so thick that they are a
pest and a nuisants-they be so thick
that they have become bane to human
existence and life amt skeercely worth
living unless you've got muskeeter
screens on your winders which only
about half the inhabitants of Bingville
has.
AS a result them as hassent got
screens on their winders has to keep
their winders down but they'd blame
site ruther do that and snuther todeth
if necessary than to be ct up alive by
muskeeters.
Bige Barker amt got no screens on
his house and tother evg before he went
to bed Bige put up a winder to let in a
breth of fresh air and then put it down
and went to bed.

EDDYTORIUL

AS edditur & prop. and every
think else of the Bingville Bugle we
find ourself tt1rrible hard put to it
to think up a subjecl1t to write a ed
ditoriu1 for this wk's ishue as we 60
to press.
1t seems to us that Fate & cir
cunlstantces & everything else has
millytated aginst us to pervent us
from having subjeckt at hand at
the last n1irlrlit to write eddytoriuf
about and as a result here we be a
tearing our hair in desperashion to
know what to do.
First off we made big mistake
by putting off the writing of the
eddytoriu1 until the last of the wk.
instid of doing it and getting it
outen the way bright and early the
LIST of the wk. AS a rule after one
ishue of the Boogle is out the first
thing we do on the next ishue is to
dash off a eddytoriul. Then it's
did and done and we can set back
and wiggle our thumb beside our
nose at Fate.
Last Monday morning, however,
our estirnable wife begin to clean
house, and she got us to beating
carpets, which we done until noon
and also until our back ached US too
and Our arms was so sore that we
had to go and lay down to rest &
recooperate all afternoon. Then on
Tuesday Lem Brown pursaded us
to accompany him to the CO. seat
merely for company, being as Lem
diddent want to drive over alone,
and like blame fool we dropped
everything and went, and then like
another blame fool when we got to
the CO. seat we TUX a little liquid
refreshrnent with Lem to revive our
dropping spirits, as you might say,
or in other words for our STUN
mick's sake, but the liquid refresh
ment was stronger than we ca1ld-
lated on, and as result we was
considerable under the weather for
the rest of the day.
On Wknsday morning we woke
UP with a splittin headake which
renamed with US all day long which
we spent in bed, and the headale
Incorporated US for eddytoriul
writing, and as a result no eddyto-
riul.
Insidentully we wouldn't want a
snake to have as bad headake as
WIS had, and we amt particular
fond of snakes either.

Sirkuss!
One Come to Town Last Tues
day for One Day Only-It
Was Well Attended by Ev-
erybuddy in Bingville!-
Biggest Show on Earth!-
Full PartiCklerS as to What
Happend on This Occasion

Last Tuesday the long looked for
sirkuss which has been advertised on
every barn and buggy shed in Bing-
vile & vicinity for the past wks ar
rived in Bingville from the Co. seat
(where it showd the day before) and
throwd open its doors, as you might
say, to the inhabitants of Bingville and
the country side.
The sirkuss traveld overland in wag-
ons and arrove in Bingvi1le about 8 a.
m, before it was daylight, but that
wassent so early but what large num-
Der of Bingv1Ile folks was up and awake
to receive it, being as they set up all
night-espeshia1ly them as felt that they
couldn't afford the 1uckshury of paying
to see the sirkuss and desired to see
ink before it got under the tent.
From sun-up until the sirkuss started
its parade from where the tent was in
Cy Hoskins' lot at the lower end of
town, about all of the inhabitants of
Bingville was crowded around the tent
most of EN- haddent had no break
fasts and diddent git nothink to etc
until noon.
The parade was grand!
1t consisted of seven wagons, IL
horses, klown who ackted awful COM
ick and made folks laf fit to bust
theirselfs, also one e1efant.
The crowd follerd the parade until
it had went down Main ST. and back
agin to the tent, where it dispersd. 1t
was a nounced that the show would
begin at 2 p. m. sharp, but that the
doors would be throwd open for enter
ing at l p. m.
AS it was then past noon folks all
LI Of
somethink to eat and then rushd back
agin so as to git in 1st before emmy
buddy else and secure good seats.
Personally we diddent haft to pay to
git in, being as the gentlemanly agent
of the sirkuss give us cupple of COM
tickets in return for print
ing three or four columns of advertis
ing and we was the envy of all eyes
as we walkd into the sirkuss without
having to pay red cent
There was only one ring and we was
glad of it. We onct attended sirkuss
at the Co. seat where there was 8 rings
and when the show was over our neck
was so stiff looking from one ring to
the other so as we wouldn't miss moth
ink that we had to wear our wife's old
wool stockin soaked in kerosene around
our neck for nearly wk.
The things what TUX place in that
ring beggars descripshion and our weak
pen is far too weak to describe same.
Suffice to say that for 2 hours the
thrilling things that was did belt that
large & representative audience spell
bound and hide bound to their seats,
as you might say, in open-eyed wonder
& open-mouthed establishment. 1t was
the unanimous opinion of everybuddy
present that they never seen nothing to
come up to it.
A good deal of fun occurd when the
ringmaster led out mule and offerd
ennybudy in the audience $40 if they
would stay on the mules back a min
nit. Deacon Butterworth junpd up and
said he ca1kilated he'd win that $40 or
bust, being as he needed it to help pay
off the intrust on his farm mortgage.

But while the winder was up and the
fresh air a coming in the muskeeters
was also coming in and they pestered
Bige almost todeth for hour or two.
Finally Bige got up in disgust and
hunted up some old rags which he
burnt as a smudge in a old tin pail and
filled the room full of smoke and then
set on the edge of the bed the rest of
the night and like to of coffed his fool
head often his shoulders. But Bige
says he would ruther do that that to
be pesterd by muskeeterS. Bige says he
can't abide a pesky muskeeter buzzin
around his ears it makes him so nervus.
