as we mite sayl The awdacitty
which it must of took for Mrs
Peter Hoskins to ask us to do that
must be somethink awful.
In this conneckshion we desire
to say that the Bingville Bugle cir
culates amongst folks as amt sub
scribers too doggone mulch as it is,
and we don't perpose to encourage
it by donating it to twenty other
titewads in this town who are well
able to pay years subscripshien
and do so in advance.
If we was to base our circulashion
on them as borrows the Bugle from
their nabers and reads it without
paying a cent for same we would
have three times as menny readers
as the Hardscrabble Banner. Some
folks in this town who amt got
manhood or wonanhood as the
case may be) to subscribe for the
Bugle regular and pay for same in
advance, sneaks around to their ma
bers after they have read the pa
per and borrows it from them and
then lends it to sunbuddy else and
so on until it is wore out.

right, but when it comes to free

WE'RE AGIN IT.

Along the latter part of Novem-
Der last Mrs. Peter Hoskins got
the idee into her head that it would
be a good idee for Bingville to
have a Circulatin Library, espe-
shally thru the winter rnunths, to
supply folks with readin matter
during the long evgs.
So Mrs. Hoskins went around
tal1in up a colleckshion amungst
our most respeckted citizens askin
each to pay dollar no more and
no less, and when she had twenty
dollars colleckted she made a trip
to the CO. seat and purchased 20
books, one of which she give to
everybuddy who give her a dollar,
and when each one read the book
through they swept books with
somebuddy else and in this way
everybuddy who belongs to the
Circulatn Library will git to read
20 books for the Insignificant
sum of one dollar.
Them as diddent give dollar
can also read the books when the
others has read EN- by payin cts
per wk rent for each book, the
perceeds of which will be used to
purchase new books for the reglar
members.
Last wk Mrs. HosI1ins come to
US and askt US if we was in favor
of the Circulatin Library and we
told her that while we diddent be-
long to it, being as we haddent
give dollar lords it owink to the
fackt that we diddent have no dol
Ter to give, we thort it was a good
thing and was willing to give II
our moral support.
Then Mrs. Hoskins asEt us if we
would be willing to donate a copy
of the Bugle free each wk to the
Circulatin Library to be read by
one and past on to other members
to read until all had read it, being
as it happens them as give paid a
dollar per each to belong amt sub
scribers to the Bugle, and in this
way we would be helping along >
good cause
When Mrs. Hoskins asl1t us th
we told her that if she was a ma
we would boost her outen our Of
ifs, but being as she was woma
instid of doing that we would as
her to kindly vacate our premis
at onct. As a result she left
once with her nose up in the
and we amt seen her sinst and h
we newer do.

CaIIenderS Almost Gone

Anne Hillyer, Our talented loryer, leg
gal lite, J. of the P & Notary Publick
ct cettery, desires US to inform the gen
eral public & everybuddy else to whom
it may concern that this is positively
the last chanst they will have to secure
a new calender for the yr 1916 from
him with a purity pictur on it at the
rate of 10 cts each.
Anne says he has only got II of these
ca1lenders left and they will likely go
like hot cakes when it becomes knowd
that he cant git emmy more like EN-.
Anne writ to the firm that sent him
these callenders and they wrote back
that the supply was exosted and they
couldn't send him emmy more.
Anne has did purity well with these
callenders we should think being as he
got 100 sent to him free gratis for
nothink and has sold EN- all out at 10
cts each except II which are left We'd
call that doing purity good bizness.
