good Is so COMPOUNDED menny dogs
in Bingville ennyhow? They Amt
no good. The only time dogs here
abouts come in handy was a cup
pie of yrs ago when there was
stitch bitter rivalry betwixt Hard
scrabble and Bingville as to which
town had the most populastion.
Hardscrabble had nearly 800 souls
and when Bingville counted UP we
only had 276 souls and Hardscrab-
BILE would have had the best of us
if Seth Dewberry our lion harted
town constubble haddent of hap
pend to think to mcleod the dogs
in Bingville amongst the popula-
shion and when that was did we
had 10 more popu1ashion than
Hardscrabble inc1ooding dogs of
course.
Anuther reason why we hate and
despise Dogdays is that the wether
gifts so turrible nuggy that the
buro drawers stisks titern a bung
& to git EN- open you haft to use
axe or a Ratchet or chisel or
somethink and then like as not
you'll bust the drawers.
We recolleckt that last Dogdays
year back this coming Ogust our
eddytoriul buro drawer in which
we kept our one billed shirt for
Sunday go to meetin wear sweld
shet and fer five wks we couldn't
git into the drawer & as consy-
kwence we diddent have no billed
shirt to wear and as consy-
kwence we diddent git to church
and as result we deterioated
somethink awful morally.

chair to the stove, opened the oven
door and set down and stuck his great
big lumnixy muddy feet into the oven
and rested EN- on half baked g1nJer
bread cake which he diddent know was

When Abigail turnd around and seen
what he had did Snide left home and
he left home follered by all the pots
and pans and spiders and kitchen uten-
sis which Abigail could git her hands
on in stitch short notice.
Snide kept on runnin until he got to
the lower end of town, where he stopt
to git his breth and to say to Lem Hill
yer who he met that he was on his way
to the co. seat, where he would en-
deavor to git job in order to git enuff
money to secure a divorce from Aba
gail on the grounds of assault & batter
ment with intent to kill, bein as he
couldn't live with that woman and keep
alive at it.

Last time afore this that they seper-

DOGDAYS EDITORIAL

We take Our pen in hand on
this ospishus occashion to inform
the populashion of Bingvil1e and
surrounding country through the
eddytoriul columns of the Bugle
to the effeckt that it wont be moren
wk or 10 days or whereabouts
until Dogdays will be in our midst
and we be sorry for it.
Dogdays comes onct per annum
rain or shine and allus occurs at
their heighth through the munth
of August. Why Dogdays is we
dunno bat it is said that Dogdays
happens when the Dogstar (wot-
ever that isl in its ascendancy
(wotever that isl In other words
when the Dogstar ascends then
Dogdays is in their zenith. We
lookt in the dicl1shionary to as
certain what zenith is but the
dicksho1ionary don't seem to shed
mulch light on the subjeckt. Then
we askt Anne Hillyer, our talented
loryer & legal lite what it nent
and while Anne said the word
sounded very furnilyer to him he
couldn't seem TO jest adzackly place
it but he calldlated it referred to
some 1iggle term or some 1oggy-
rithm in higher mathmaticks.
What we desire to say about
Dogdays on this occasion is that
the Bingvi11e Board of Belth ort
to take some ackshion or other to
keep the numerous dogs of Bing-
vile from biting innocent bystand-
ers and others. The worst trubb1e
about Dogdays is that if a dog
happens to bite a person during
Dogdays the person git hyderfoby
and goes mad and snarls Jest like
a dog and ackt somethink skanda-
lus. This is a turrible menace to
sivilisashion and the Board of Helth
! ort to do somethink to prevent it.
Amt it detrimental to helth to git
bit by dog during Dogdays and
contrackt hydrofoby? Certingly it
is. And amt it the bizness of the
B. of H. of Bingville to see that
this is healthy town and is KEEP
sutch? Of course Then orient
the B. of H. to do all in its power
to keep dogs from biting US dur
ing Dogdays? We should say it
ort.
Layin all joaks aside there is too
doggone menny dogs in Bingville,
and some of EN- amt worth kickin
outen the road and yit a person
would hesytate to kick some dogs
hereabout outen the road becuz if
they did they would in all prob
ability git junk of the calf of

LEMUNADEI LEMUNADEl I have

concluded to pick up a little odd
change by selling lemunade every Sat-
terday night while the warm wether
lasts. I have made arrangements with
Eph Higgins, Our accommodating P. NJ,
to fix up a place to sell this lemun-
ade in the P. o., where you will find
me on Saturday evs. when you come
in for your mail whether you get emmy
or not This lemunade is LIST class.
A CRATE menny peepul don't know how
to make lemunade. This is not so with
me- Some peepul when they make lem
unade put in too mulch suzxer and
too menny lemuns. This makes it too
sweet and too sour, spiling its flaver
as you mite say. Now / take one
lemun and slice it up into three or 4
gals. of worter and add a eupful of
suger and stir same and then its reddy
to drink. When its almost gone l add
more worter and when its all gone
use the same lemun to make some
more. The more you use lemun in
making lemunade the better it becomes.
/ lernt how to make lem unade at q
co. fair onct, where l helpt a Teller
make bari of it. Try some of my
lemunade-it wont hurt you none and
its liable to do you some good.

Miss O'Quinn Wins Kodak.
Miss Eula O'Quinn, having to her
credit the largest number of renewal
subscriptions between Thursday, Oc-
tober 2Sth, and Saturday, November
9Th, was awarded the Pocket Folding
Brownie Kodak, given by Mack s
Drug Store. Miss O'Quinn has our
congratulations upon her good work.
She may call at Mack's Drug Store

venience.
Here's Suggestion.
Now that the contest is drawing
toward a close, we have suggestion
to make. Every one of your friends
should now come to your aid. Don't
overlook a single one of them. You
have a plenty of friends. to win the
capital prize for you. Better make a
list of your friends and make it a
point to see every one of them dur
ing the next ten days. Garry pencil
and paper with you, and when you
think of name, jot it down before
you forget. Keep the people on your
list well informed as to your stand
ing, and see that they work for you.
Don't delay. Hitch up old Dobbin
and get on your way toward getting
that big prize. It's worth working
for. If it wasn't, we would not give
it. Don't depend on just getting the
few subscriptions right around you
and think that that will get you a
$4,000 suite of furniture, because
it will'not. You must get out in the
county. Visit every section of BAN
berg county, and the neighboring Sec
tions in other counties. Go where
you will. There are subscriptions
waiting on you at every cross road;
all you have to do to get them is to
60 after them. Try it. Get horse
and buggy. If you haven't got one,
it will pay you to borrow one. Take
a free delivery route. See every one
on the route-house by house. Don't
miss single one. For there's dol
lar and half, or maybe three dol
lars or more, waiting for you at
every house. Just let us know where
you want to go, we'll furnish you the
lists for any point.
Special Notice.
The contestants are asked to take
especial notice of the fact that there
will be no time during the remainder
of the contest that they will be able
to secure so large a bonus as during
the Booster Period. This is to be
real Booster Period, and there will
be no larger bonuses offered at any
time during the contest. so no con-
testant need expect that there will be
a better time to send in their sub
scriptions, for there will not be. This
is positively as large bonus as will
be offered. .."
