BAD ROADS, EDDYTORIUL

The horrible awful condition of
the Main St. which runs thru
Bingville to say nothink of the
roads which runs in and out of
Bingville for several miles in evry
direckshion is sin and a shame
and burning disgrase & a splotch
on the fair name of this town
which will make us the lafing
stock of our rival the one-horse
town of Hardscrabble & evrybuddy
else who cares to pint the finger of
skorn at us.
We meant to of wrote a red hot
eddytoriul about this subjeck last
wk but in the hurry and busse1 of
going to press it slipt our mind &
SO we grasp our skathing eddytor-
jul pen in hand to do so in this

There, citizens OF B1ngv1lle IS
the names of the men you voted
for as town selecktnen & who
promised faithful that they would
prefor1n the dooties of their offs
to the best of their several ability.
Have they did so we ask? Not by
a jug full we anser. Instid of
looking after the roads they have
looked after their own personal &
selfish interests and let the roads
in and about Bingville go to thun-
der as fur as they arr concernd.
Cy TIoskins spends most of his
time skeeming how to git the best
of his Teller men and in lookin over
his accts to see when his next NOR

EN- outen house and home. AS for
Joe Hines and Bill Simms they per-
fer to set in Hen Weathersbys store

ruthern do emmy road work.
To our certing nolledge nobuddy
amt did lick of work on the Main
St of Bingville for the past five
yrs. There has been considerable
talk about it every littel while & re-
pairing the SITS has been made a
ishue at every eleskchion but after
the eleckshion is over folks stops
sitting up nights worrying about
the condishions of the SITS. The
genral sentiment in this COMMON
itty pears to be that sinst a st has
lasted five yrs or so without ever
being repaired it ort to last five yrs
or more longer.
There is no doubt in OUR eddy
toriul mind that the awful condish-
ion of the roads in and about Bing-
vile is driving trade away from
our midst We know of at least
one instance where this is true. E.b
Green stuck fast in the mud enter

prunes and duzzen candles at
Hen Weathersbys store but after
