SUMMER BORDERS
FDDYTORuU.

Well, here it is almost next sum-
mer agin, and spealsin of summer
naeherly reminds US of summer
borders, which causes us to take
our eddytoriul pen in hand and
dash off a eddytoriu1 on the vitul
subjeckk of Boost Bingville for
Summer BordersP'
Why is it, we ask, that more
summer borders don't come to
Bingville? Why is it, we ask
agin, that Bingville don't git more
revynoo from summer borders than
she has in the past? We pause for
reply for a minnit and then we
anser ourself that the reason is be-
cuz summer borders. don't know
there is SIGH town on the map as
Bingville & to expeck summer
borders to come here & board sum-
mers under SIGH circumstances is
foolish & ridicklus in the extreme.
What we want to do to git sum-
mer borders is to boost Bingville
more to outsiders & git in touch
with the outside world as you
might say & advertise what a tur-
rible Mise town Bingville is for
summer borders, being as its so
quiet & far from the maddening
throng & = good place to rest, ct
cettery, too numerous to mentchion.
1t amt necessary to say ennythink
about what a awful pest muskeeters
is in Bingville from May until fall
becuz that wouldn't indooce sum-
mer borders to come to Bingville,
and we .persoom that the less said
about that the better. When we
advertise Bingville to the outside
world let US ignore the musa<eeters
just as if they diddent exist.
We aslkt Cy Hoskins, one of our
most prominentest citizens, tother
day if he perposed to take in sum-
mer borders this summer, and Cyl
said he calIeilated not. being as for
two summers past he had tried to
take in summer borders, and a. a
result had got took in hisself. Cy|
says that he has found summer
borders turrible slick custunners to
do business with and that he's a1lus
lost money By en- & got skun outen
Ibis eye teeth besides.
Cy said that the lady q gent man
and wife summer borders who

whs., to say nothing about the wear
and tear on his temper & good
nachure.
Cy says they was a1lus complain
in about the grub and growlin be-
cuz they had to drink SKINNED
milk & etc eggs which Mrs. Hos
kins had put down in pickle the
previous winter, also that they
wouldn't warsh their Eases at the
pump like the rest of the fambi1y &
as a result he had to make a trip
clean to the co. seat to purchase a
bowl & pitcher and store soap, be-
ing Is they wouldn't use home
made soap and they made him put
screens on the winders to keep the
muskeeters out & he was glad to
see en- 60 and hopes to goodness
hen newer see EN- agin.
Be that as it may, however, we
are of the unbiased opiny,1n that
there is money to be made outen
summer borders in Bingville if you
go about it right and git as much
outen en- as they'll pay for as lit
tie as they'll ecept in return
