LATE FALL CROPS

Atlanta, Aug. 23-Showers needed

portions of the state and the hot, dry
weather of the pask week was some
what detrimental in that section. Gen
orally, however, cotton as well as 9TH
err crops, were benefited by abundant
sunshine and warmer weather. Cotton
is beginning to open rapidly and pick
ing is becoming general except in the
north. In the flooded areas the crop
continues poor, is shedding, and there
will be no top crop. Boil weevils are
becoming very destructive in the south
western portion of the state. The
weather was very favorable for haying
and pulling fodder, and large quanti-
ties have been safely housed. Sweet
potatoes promise large yield; they
are narly ready to harvest in the south

TELEPHONES OR NOT ?
NOT!

Sinst we went to press with the
last edishion of the Bugle a man
conneckted with the Independent
Te1lyfome Co. at the CO. seat paid
VISIT to Bingville to find out
whether our citizens would like to
have tel1yfomes in our midst
He said the co. was thinking OF
bilding a new tel1yfome line from
the co. seat clean over into Potto-
wossie Co. and they could jest as
we'll run it thru Bingville as not
perviding they could git enuf
folks in Our midst to put in telly-
fomes.
This representative of the telly-
forne CO. got a awful cold recep-
SIMON in Bingville and we calkilate
that if he runs his tarnashion old
tellyfome line through Bingville he
will haft to do it over the dead
bodies of Our most respeckted cit

Look Out for This
Sharper

Mrs. Cyrus Hoskins about a month
ago had slick tungd Teller to call on
her offering to enlarge her husband Cys
photograph into a big crayon portrait for
the insignificant sum of so. a,m
Being as Mrs. Hoskins diddent have
no crayon portrait of Cy she thort it
would be nice to get one on the sly and
persent it to Cy on his next birthday
which comes next month as birthday
gift and then hang it on the wall.
Mrs. Hoskins TUX a old photygraft
of Cy outen the fambily album and
asked the picksher man if that would do
to make a crayon portrait of and he said
it was jest the thing. 1t shows Cy when
he wore whiskers about 2 # long also
a mustach both of which euverd up his
Ease to stitch a extent that a person
couldn't skeercely tell who he was, so
Mrs Hoskins give the man the picksher
and told him to go ahead.
Then the man told Mrs. Hoskins that
it was custummery to pay $40 in advance
and the remaining 10 when the picksher
was delivered which it would be in a
week. Well Mrs. Hoskins handed over
the 10 and altho that was a munth ago
she amt seen hide nor hair of the Teller
sinst AS a result she has about came
to the coneIooshion that she has been
swindeid and is turrible put out about it
speshially sinst she lost the fotygraft of
Cy into the bargain.
So far as we can lern Mrs. Hoskins
is the only person in Bingville who bit -
the sharper visited several other vim
men folks in town to indooce EN- to have
their husbands fotygrafts enlarged, but
they only laft at him and told him they
