EDDYTORIUL

AZ we take our eddytoriul pen

Of wisdum about somethink inpor-
tant or other for the benefit Of our
more ignorunter subscribers who
amt got no opinyun of their own &
depend on US to furnish them their
opinyuns from our fertile mind
once per wl, as you might say,
we
N. B.-Yu1l haft to excoose us
a minnit until we take a eddytoriul
glance back to the beginning of this
eddytoriul to find out what it was
we started in to say.
Oh, now we reca11l AZ we was
about to remark, we can't think of
nothink more inportanter to write
eddytoriul this wk than the tur-
rible awful big snowfall which fell
in our midst last Tuesday night,
and buried Bingville under pail,
as we might say.
AS we write these lines Bing-
vile is practically cut off from the
rest of the world, being as there
amt been emmy communication be-
twixt Bingville + the exterior so to
speak sinst the snow fell and amt
likely to be for several days.
Dad Henderson, our oldest in
habitant, says he calkilates this is
the deepest snow he ever seen in
his life, but Dad amt quite shure.
Dad says there was turrible deep
snow fell during the winter of 1912
but that's been sich a long spell ago
hat he can't adzackly remember
whether the snow fall that fell then
was FIVE foot and 16 inches deep or
is foot and FIVE inches deep, but
twas one or tother.
However, the snow which has
fell in our midst is deep enuff for
all pracl<tikal purposes. It is four
feet deep in some places and 8 or
IL feet in others where its dfifted.
AS result the inhabitants of Bing
vile is mostly hibernating as you
might say. There amt been no mail
to or from Bingyille sinst Tuesday,
being as the mil stage cant git
through. Also for the same reason
we amt received emmy country cor
respondence from the surrounding
towns which is why none apears
in this ishue.

you'll haft to blame it on the snow.

& pounced onto Hen. Ranse wanted
to know of Hen if he thort he was try
ing to get outen paying his honest detts
& that he diddent allow emmy man to
dun him & reflect on his financial
credit.
Hen said that he personnel II had
jest kind of excaped Ranse's mind to
pay what he owed & that there was
sent no use to have emmy hard feelins
about it Then Ranse told Hen to 60
ahead and make him out itemized bill
