boosted you along & helpt you do
your work until the next meal of
beans come along.
1 hat's the great trubble with the
average huming being he sets
down and eats like a blame hog of
whatever is put before him with
out thinkin anythink about it or be-
jing thankful from the depths of
his stummick for same.
! Beans is the blood & bone &
sinoo of Bingville, so to speak, and
as we partake of beans in the sank
tity of our own home or baked
beans at a baked bean soshiable
give by the Ladies Aid of the Birig
, ville " Church oif a Satterday ' evg,
we ort not to forget as -we filKup
on beans to our fullest , capacitty
that there ain't nothink in the line
of huming edibels whitch will not
only satisfy the cravings of hunger
but will also give us strenth for
toil in the swet of our brows like
jest common, ordinary beans.
Therefore let us not look with
contemt on beans never. Jest be
cuz beans is plenty this yr let us
not turn up our noses at beans &
say we perfer appel pie or sawsidge
or some high toned truck like that.
Let us remember with thanksgiv
ing that ever sinst we was old enuff
to eat beans thev have been our
that they
EDDYTORIUL ON BEANS
Being as this has been a terribul
tremenjus prolifick yr for beans in
Bingville, sinst beans has ' turned
out better than they have for men
ny, menny yrs, and being as we
have alreddy in the past wrote ed
dytoriuls on almost every subjeckt
exept beans we thort it wouldn't
be a bad idee to dash off one on
this occashion on this important
subjeckt of beans.
Never before' in the history of
R?rnrvi11 sn fur hark as tri f1r1it
tnhalMtant fwhn ia nIH Dad Staff & Otir rod of lif
derson, who claims that when helle comforted us when we was
was a bov onlv 12 vrs old he seen hungry & have been a bulwark agin
General George Warshington pass
through the co seat on his way to
take charge of the Revolooshionary
War, but there is some as has their
doubts about Dad having saw
George) can remember, the farm
ers of Bingville & visinitty aint
never Harvested sicn a enormus
crop of beans.
As a result beans is almost a
drug on the market, as you might
say. There has been times in the
past when beans diddent turn out
well and then the price of same
was high, owing to their skeerce
rvess, but this season it is other
wise. .Beans is so plenty that no-
buddy thinks ennythink of em a
tall. Hen Weathersby, prop, of
our general store & bizness empor
ium, ain't only paying $15 cts per
bu. for shell beans, shelled and
heaping meashure, and Hen says
unless folks stops bringin so menny
beans to him hell be doggoned if
he don't cut the price down to $25
cts per bu. That's jest how cheep
& insigniffkant beans is this yr.
We desire in this conneckshion
to ask the gentel reader who reads
this eddytoriul on beans if you ev-
ver paused in your mad career to
consider what a awful nutrishious
& sustaining power is contained in
the humble bean? You have been
eating beans all your life ever sinst
you was knee high to a duck you
have et beans baked and stewd &
biled in fackt you have been
brung up on . beans, ' as we might
say, & yet -you have -newer stopd
long enuff betwixt mouthfulls of
beans to realise what a tumble
boon they be to humanitty. In
other words you have et beans till
you was full of em fit to bust and
got up from the table in distress.
and yet you never thort of how
they stuck to your ribs & satisfide
the cravings of Ac inner man and
famine & starvashion. As we ete
beans day after day and wk after
wk through the coming winter, let
us return thanksgiving to whoever
invented the bean & give same to
humanitty.

PUNK-
SKUaED BY AXi:ENT !-Th3ts Whst
HzppeRi to Kink Barclay at
Met Ksnds of Plutarch Stone
With a Slsatsun IKink Fatally
Injured est Estter at Tfcis
, Writis! '
' - i ". t ,
Hia"k "Barclay 'one of our most re
speckted cittizens was the vickttm of a
painful axident last' Thursday morning'
at the hands ot, rTutarcn btone who didr
dent do it on purpose & was tumble
sorry otherwise" Hink says he would "of
brung suit agin Plutarch for manslaw
ter. '
Plutarch has been awful bizzy all
fall gettin in his crops & doin his
fall work to sich a extent that he aint
had time to take a day off to go huntin
until . last Thursday when bein ketchd
up with his work as you might say
Piute thort he would take his old muz
zle loader shotgun and go out into the
woods back of his house and see if he
couldnt shoot a squirt or rabbit or pat
ridge or somethink in the way of enuff
game for a mess.
Well, Piute tuk down the shotgun
offen its rack and tuk his powder horn
and bottle of shot and little box of per
cushion caps and started? After he left
the house and cut acrost Hink Barclay's
pasture tords the woods he stopped in
his tracks when he remembered that he
haddent brung his far-sighted spectacles
with him. Piute stood there in the field
10 minnits and debated whether he
would go all the way back to the house
after em or not being as Piute's eye
sight is bad moren 50 ft away and he
wassent shure whether he could tell a
rabbit from a woodchuck at that dis
tance but he desided that rather than
bother to go back after his specs he
would do the best he could to make out
what he was shootin at and trust the
rest to Providence? Right here we
might state that if Piute had of went
back after his far sighted specs this
tumble calamitty wouldnt of happend
to Hink a tall.
Be that as it may Piute kept on until
he come to the edge of Hink's potater
patch whitch is near the woods. Then
Piute thort it wouldnt be a bad idee
to load up his gun before perceeding
enny further, but when he looked at the
nipple under the hammer there was a
cap on it whitch made Piute begin to
think that praps the gun alreddy had
a load of shot in it. Piute tride to
think of the last time he had used the
gun and recalled that when his cherries
was gettin ripe and the birds was car
ryin em off by the peck he bought some
fine bird shot and fired a few charges
at the birds jest to show em who was
who & that praps he had left a load
of birdshot into the ' shotgun. Piute
knowd that birdshot was too'' fine for
squirls or rabbits so he thort hed shoot
out -the load and load up agin with
coarser shot.
Piute dident like to waste the load of
shot even if it was bird shot by shootin
up into the air so he lookf around for
a mark to shoot at and all he could see
was a big yaller stone stickin up near
the edge of Hink's potater patch. Lit
tle did Piute dream that this objeckt
whitch he thort was a yaller stone was
nothink else than Hink Barclay hisself
facing away from Piute and stoopin
down piclrin up some potaters from a
hill or two whitch he missed when he
dug his potaters a wk or two previ
ous. Hink had on yallerish pants and
stoopin over without moovin made him
look a good eal like a yaller . rock or
bowlder espeshialy to Piute who co&ldnt
see very well ennyhow. : ,
Piute raised the shot gun and took
keerful aim at the rock and puld the
trigger. What follerd beggers descrip
shion. Skeercely had the shotgun crakd
until poor Hink who got the full charge
of shot where he was least expectin em
straightened up and went into the air
about five feet with a awful yell of
ngwish & then fell all in a heap en
the ground where he groveld around in
the dirt
As for Piute he was almost as mutch
surprised as Hink was and rusht up to
Hink and helped him onto his feet and
askt him if he was dead or what.
Hink wanted to know of Piute what in
tarnashion made him shoot at him when
he had his back turned- and was stoop
in .over like that for and Piute said he
was awful sorry being as he thort Hink
was a rock. Hink then said all he had
to say was that Piute had a dura poor
eye for rocks. . "
Hink revived a little mite after the
first severe, pain and started for Doc
Lvermore's off is with Piute walkin
along by his side helpin him. Hink
limpd a good eal and every little while
he would bast out into perfanity and
cuss Hink until a fly would skeercely
lite, on him and still Piute talked soft
"and simpathetick to Hink and; told him
how sorry he was and stuck right to
him and helped him along all he could.
As luck would have it Doc was in
his off is when' Piute and Hink arrove.
Doc examined Hink and told him he
would haft to perform a operashion on
him in order to remoove the shot being
as there was no lessen 28 of same in
his person jest under the skin. Doc
askt Hink if he wanted to take doro
form and Hink said no but if . Doc had
enny licker he would take a swig of
that to give him curridge to undergo
the operashion but otherwise to perceed
with the torchure. Doc had no licker
so got Hink stretched out on a sofy
and went to work on him with a small
oggur drill and a screw-driver.
Hink hollerd like everything while
Doc was diggin out two of the small
shot nd when he wassent hollerin he
would break out and cuss Piute who
stood back meek as a lamn and lookt
on without saying a word. After Doc
had dug out the two shot referd to
Hink trot un offen the sofy and told Doc
he diddent need to take out enny more
shot being as them two he had tuk out
was enuff and what remained in his
carcass might stay there as long as he
lived as fur as he was concerned heing
es he would . rather die with em in
than die havin 'em tuk out.
Then Hink told Piute to go to blazes
and limpd home in deep disgust' where
he went to bed and laid the most of
the day on his stummick. .Next , day
Hink was up and limpin around but he
couldnt set down with enny comfort a
tall and ever sinst the axident happend
Hink has been mostly on his feet and
even takes his meals standin up. Hink
is improoving rapidly however and ex
pecks to be as well as ever in a few
days. Hink aint spoke to Piute sinst
and praps never will. Cy Hoskins says
if he was Hink he would apply for a
penshion to the guwerment on the
grounds of bein shot in his potater
patch.
Let this be a solium warning to us
all to alius wear our fur sighted speck
tacles. Personal Breefs
Blueberries has all went by long ago.
Oh there may be a few left clean on
top of Sawridge Mountaing praps but
who would be fool enuff to go clean
up there after em we ask?
Hez Andrews says that all summer
long there was a deer follerd his cows
around in the pastchure and grazed
with em jest as tame as a sheep, but
that sinst the law went off on deer and
a person is allowed to shoot em he
aint seen hide ner hair of that deer.
Beats all how tumble impident a deer
will git when the law . is on and how
blamed skeerce they be when the law
is off. '
Dad Henderson tried to shave his
self with a razzer whitch he swopt for
with a soljer during the sivil war and
whitch Dad has used on and off ewer
sinst but whitch aint never been honed
and when Dad tried to shave with it
the razzer simply puld his whiskers out
by the roots. Dad got so disgusted that
he throwd down the razzer and went
acrost to his nearest nabera Hen Smilr-1
eys ft borrerd Hen's spokeshave to fin
ish shavin with & cut off the lower edge
of one ear with the spokeshave. Dad

Hen Weathersby prop of our general
store 'treated all the boys who happend
to be in the store last Satterday nite to
a feast of crackers from a barl whitch
he had jest opend. Hen filled up a pail
full of crackers .and pasd em around.
Enos McCrackin tried to ete so menny
befor the pailful give out' that he chok
ed and nearly died before the rest who
was also bizzy eating all the crackers
they could found time to pound him
on the back.- It aint very offen that
Hen has . a generous spell like that and
nacherly the boys who frequents the
store takes advantage of ft.
