Glad We Cald

Last Tuesday we called at the resi-
d of Abe Witherow- ton see if it
be agreeable for Abe to pay US a
doiler or two on his back subscripshion.
Mrs. Witherow came to the door and
informed us that Abe was out and askt
us if we wouldn't come in to the kitchin
and git warm so we done So Mrs.
Witherow had just TUX cupple OF
mince pies outen the baker which was
setting on the window ledge to cool
We admired the nince pies and said SC
adding that we was allus a great hand
for mince pies being as mince pies was
our faverite pies. Mrs. Witherow SAID
that she would cut one for us only she
was afeard it was too hot to etc and
then we said that we allus preferd our
mince pie hot, so Mrs. Witherow c'I'
one strate across the middle and Their
strate acrost tother way making four
quarter seckshions to the pie as you
mite say and told us to help ourseli
which we done.
We chatted with Mrs Witherow
whilst we partook of the pie and to our
surprise we kept partooking of it until
we had consumed the hole entire pic
We told Mrs. Witherow this was a
great compliment to her mince pies be-
Gus mince pie had to be purity choice
when we ct a whole pie at one setting.
Then we departed.
We will haft to say that Mrs. Withe-
row is a generous woman and its to bad
that her husband Abe is so stingy that
he wont pay his subscripshion.

Well, Lige couldn't seem to make the

Amelia Out In Style

Miss Amelia Tucker our raining sos
siety queen and leader of the Bingville
soshial whirl appeard in church last
Sunday morning with fur thing rapt
tite around her neck clean up to her
ears. 1t also cuvvered her mouth and
nose and almost her eyes so that she
couldn't skeercely see where she was
steppin and nearly fell down twict on
her way to service.
After church all the winmen folks
crowded around Amelia and askt her if
she had sore throat or was she suffring
from toottake being as she was bundled
up so with fur around the face. Then
Amelia in a awful skornful voice told
EN- that if they was up on styles like
she was they would know that what she
had around her neck was cald a chin
chin collier and was the very latest
thing out. Then Amelia stuck her nose
up in the air and started home.
We can see how a chin chin collier
would be very becomink to girl whose
Ease was so blamed ugly that she de-
sired to keep it under cover, but where
ennybuddy has got a purity Ease like
Amelia has we shouldn't think shed
want to hide it.

TOWN BOOM EDYTORIUL

We take our eddytoriul pen in
hand this wk to lash out rite &
left about how dead Bingville is
at this time of yr and we don't
care whoop where the chips falls.
In other words if the shoe fits you,
put it on and if it pinches, you'll
haft to wear it.
1t seems to US that every yr jest
after the 1st of Janooary trade &
bizness & everything else in Bing-
vile & vicinity is at a lower ebb
than it is at emmy other season of
the yr and goodness knows that
amt sayin mulch for emmy other
season of the VI neither.
Along thru Janooary and Feboo-
airy Bingville is deadern doornail
or a picked mackerel, or both for
that matter. A stranger cominl1
into our midst at the present writ
ing would think that Their wassent
a live soul in the hull blame town
and he wouldn't be far wrong
neither.
Why is it our inhabitants all
dens up and hibernates and re-
mains in a comnytose condishion
during this period like a Passel of
woodchucks we ask? Why don't
you git out and hussle if it amt
for nothink more than a pearants
sake so folks will know you amt
past on. This condishion of a fairs
simply makes our blud bile. Bing-
vile folks jest sticks by the fire
and drowses along one day after
tother skeercely ever pokin their
noses outen their houses for fear
they'll git EN- frostbit.
Tother day we went down to
the P. o. to git Our mail and the
P. O. was shut. Then we went
on to Hen Weathersbys store and
it was shet likewise. Then we re-
turned home in deep disgust Eph
Higgins our P. M. told us after
wards that the reason the P. O
was shet was becuz it was so tar
nashion cold that there wassent
no P. O. customers and he thor
it would be more comfortable tc

More than 5000 prisoners were tak-

The GOrizia bridgchcad was one of
the most important defensive positions
ef the Austrians along the Isonzo
front. 1t was the scene of heavy
fighting in the early months of the
war when the Italians after making
considerable advances were held up
along the lsonzo line.
GOrizia is twenty-five miles north
west Of Triest one of the principal
detectives of the Italian campaign and
regarded as the key to that position
one OF the first acts of the Italians
after the war began was to throw a
