EDDYTORIUL{ ON OTTUM.

While we was sitting with Our
head in our hands trying to think
up somethink to write a eddytoriul
about it ockurd to us that SO far
this Fall we amt dasht off emmy
eddytoriul on Ottum and that I'M
less we do so without delay it will
be too late for this season being as
it wont be long emmy more until
the blasts of Winter will be a
blasting about Bingville and to
dash off a eddytoriu1 on Fall in
the Winter time would simply be
ridicklus in the extreme and sub
jeckt us 10 publick crittysizm 6
conturnely.
In other words heretofore we
have al1us made it a rule to write
a sentimental s, pathetick eddyto-
riul on the subjeckt of Ottu1n and
now sinst the matter has ockurd to
us we sl1ant make no excepshion
to the rule in this instants.
Ottum is somethink which hap
pens onct per annum about this
time of year and over which not
even ourself as Edditor of the BIZ
gle nor ennybuddy else has emmy
control. 1t is at this season of the
yr that the foliage in Bingville 6
visinitty persents a most beauto-
full s. misunderstanding appear
.ance being deckt out as we mite
say in all the cullers of the rain
bow and then some.
Some of the leaves of different
trees is yal1er and some is red and
some is purple and some is brown
while others is of different hews
altogether making galaxy
which beggers descripshion and
which even our eddytoriul pen,
grafick as it is, cannot do Justice
to at this time 1t is said that pote
cannot portray nor painter depickt
with paint brush the menny beau
ties of the leaves which Ottun
causes.
Be that as it may Ottur11e a1Ius
causes in Our chest a melancholy
feeling espeshially when the leaves
lose their holt upon the trees and
fall to the ground where they lay
witherd s. dead to stitch a extent
that they become a noosants and
haft to be raked up into piles
and burnt to git shet of EN-. After
the leaves all falls off the trees
Ipersent a naked s. mood appear
ants and will look rodicklus to the
cashual observer until next Spring
when they begin to put out their
leafs agin.
Ottun allus makes us melancholy
personally, but we ca1kilate this

We desire to give warning to who
ever owns the big yaller tomcat who
comes walkin into the Buggle offs near

our pet Bugle offs cat had better keep
their blamed old cat at home unless
they desire us to put a charge of buck
shot into its body until it becomes de-
seased. AS it is at present our cat has
most all the fur clawd often it and its
ears all bit to shreds.
We desire to request of our subscrib-
ers that after they git their Bugles
every week and after they have read
same will they kindly tear up the pa
pers into shreds or hide EN- some
where's so that folks of Bingville who
amt reglar subscribers cant borrow &
read same? Otherwise how can we ex-

Boat Constructed in Philippines to Do Work in That
 Section.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The new army collier constructed at Shanghai, China, for Philippine service is com pleted and ready for delivery, ac- cording to advices just received at the war department.
 In answer to criticism that the col Her should have been built in the United States, war department off, cials point out that the contract was awarded by the Philippine govern- ment after competitive bYding, It also is pointed out that iF was eco- nomical to have the collier built in the orient, as she could hardly have crossed the ocean on her 500 horse power and speed of four to six knots.
 The collier is a light craft hardly above the harbor tug class. and coal will be transferred from her to army transports as needed. While the col Her could cruise from Manila to Ma gasaki, she will not have much sea service except under extra ordinary conditions.
