Calamity to Rufe

Poor Rufe Atkins, one of our most
respeckted citizens, met with turrible
setback few nights ago from which
he amt recuverd even as yet.
All spring Rufe has been savin 2
gal Jug of hard cider which was all he
had, to celebrate his birthday with,
which comes next Friday. When Rufe's
birthday comes around each per annum
Rufe a1lus celebrates it in this manner
by getting intoxicated It wouldn't be
SO bad if he would invite his nabers to
jine him in his birthday festivities. but
he don't do that-no, he guzzels all the
hard cider down hisself all soul alone.
Well on the night above stated. some
fend in human form broke into Rules
celler and carried off the hard cider.
Jug and all. Rufe give out word that
if the party who TUX the hard cider did
dent bring back same the law must take
its course. being as he saw EN- take it.
Next day Rufe got postal card through
the mail mailed in Bingville, signed
unanimously to the effect that the writer
was the party who TUX the hard cider
and that it was SIGH turrible good cider
that he was willing to let the law take
its course and to go ahead and let it
take it. This made Rufe maddern ever,
but that don't help things amy.

split UP some kindlings for the
next morning whilst the tramp was
fnishin his mee1. When the tramp
left he couldn't thank her enuff for
what she had did for him and told
her that she would git her reward

while she was out to the woodpile

silver hives & forks which had
been in the fambi1y nearly so yrs.

ers, but we don't like to have it
rubbed into us as per above. Seth

Big Joke on Bill

Bill Hepburn our artistick blacksmith
had big joke happen on him last Sat
terday which has made everybody in
Bingville 1aff behint his back but not
to his Ease being if they would do that
Bill would probably hammer EN- into q
pulp.
Last Satterday Bill was delayed IT.
maxim his reglar trip to the co. seat to
ticker up as ushua1 being as he didn't
git away from Bingville until the after
noon and it was nearly dark before he
reached the CO. seat. Bill thort if he
1ickered up, over there and then started
home by night he never would git home
intoxicated so he had sents enuf not to
take a drop. He purchased gal jug full
of old rye and started right back home
thinkin that after he reached Bingville
and put the horse away and got his sup
per then he would git full Ali the way
home Bills mouth wortered for a drink
and he driv so fast his horse was all in
a1ather by the time he reached Bing-
vile.
Then jest as Bill went to lift the jug
of Ticker outen the buggy blamed if it
diddent slip outen his hand and fall
right plum on a stone in the road and
break all to smash and every drop of
the ticker was lost Bill stood there
like as if he was parrylized and when
he realized what had happened he swore
so loud that he could be heerd all over
Bingville. Bill has been as i'll nachured
as a flea-ridden dog ever sinst.

ConstubbIe Candydate A
NOunCed

Seth Dewberry, Our lion harted towr
constubb1e desires us to nounce to
the voters of Bingville that he will be
candydate for town constubble at the
e1eckshion next spring as ushual.
Of course its only been short time
sinst Seth was eleckted to this impor-
tant offs which wont expire for nearly
a yr., but Seth thinks it would be jest
as well to make this a nouncement at
this time so as to let the voters here
abouts know what to expeckt. Seth also
calkilates that if everybuddy under
stands that he is. going to be a cam
dydate as ush,1al it will skeer other
candidates who might run for the offs
from doing SO.
Seth has allus made brave and fear
less constubble in the past, but the next
e1eckshion is too fur head for us to
be able to say at this time whether the
Bugle will support him or not. We can
tell better as the elecksfion approaches
and we find out whether Seth renews
his subscripshion to the Bugle or wheth-
err whoever might be running agin him
advertises more liberal in these collums
than Seth does.
