EDDYroR1UL ON THE H. c. OF L.


Tother evg down to Hen Weatherbys
store several of our most respecleted
citizens was discussing by and large
various vital topicl<s of the hour on
which the welfare of Our nashion
hinges when the questchion come up
concerning the High Cost of Living
and what US folks of Bingville are
going to do about it if ennythink, or
viii we set by idle and twiddle our
thumbs whilst the necessities of life
cline higher and higher in price?
Enos Snodgrass lit into Hen Weather
by prop of our general store hot and
heavy for boosting up the prise of
lifes necessities. Enos told Hen right
to his Ease that lessen a VI ago he
(T1en) sold to him (Enos) three seegars
for S cts whereas now Hen charges
the same price for two of the same kind
Of seegars Enos said this was ex-
torshion and he'd be logged if he'd stand
for it being as he'd stop smoking see
gars first and smoke his pipe excloosive.
Not only does the high cost of living
effeckt seegars but other commodities
as we'll inc1ooding coffee, sugar, ca1iker,
shifting, shoes and other hardware.
Even the price of monkey renches has
riz. Lem Brown says he can remem-
Der when a person could go into Hens
store and buy good monkey rench for
IS cts and now Hen asks doller for
his monkey renches which is outrajus
& ridicklus in the extreme.
Bill Hepburn our artistick blacksmith
who was present said that he wouldn't
mine if flour and coffee and sugar
and bacon went up in price if only
the price of rum would stay down
where it ort to. Bill said the increase
in the price of rum was what had hit
him hardest Bill said that it amt been
moren three yrs ago that he could go
over to the co seat on bizness & plea
shure emmy Satterday and git fullern a
tick and it wouldn't cost him moren
50 cts, but now 50 cts worth of Ticker
don't skeercely even cheer him up OF
exilerate him enuff to make him want to
sing or boiler or throw up his hat OF
fight. Bill TUX the increase in the price
of rum so much to heart and felt SC
bad about It when he talked down to
the store that he nearly broke down
and cried cupple of times and every
buddy present felt turrible sorry fol
him. In facl<t it was a awful pathetick
sight-Deacon Andrews who was pres
