Instid of dashing off one long,
deep brain rackink eddytoriul on
some single subjeck it ockurd to
us that it might be a good idee for
a change, to dash off say two
shorter eddytoriuls on two seperate
& distinkt subjecks just for the
sake of variety and also becuz we
don't seem to be able to think up
a subjeck important to dash off a
long eddytoriul about in this ishue.
It aint as easy to dash off a eddy
toriul a collum and a haff long as
you might nacherly think it would
be, and if some of you more ig
norunter subscribers of the Bugle
don't think so then try it, that's all
we've got to say. Below you will
find the 2 eddytoriuls referd to and
we hope they will come tip to your
expecktashions.
EDITOR BUGLE.
EDDYTORIUL ON INDUSTRY
Industry is a good thing for a
person to have, and it would be
mutch better if more folks in
Bingville was pervided with this
vallyble comoditty. If everybuddy
in this town was filled with indus
try Bingvile would be twict as big
as it is and bizziern a beehive.
In fackt. the common or garden
variety of bee is held up to us bv
histry & litterclioor as the emblem
of industry. Soon as it gits warm
cnuff for bees to bizz around in the
?pring until late in the fall when
tliey git so num & cold they can't
skeercely fly you'll alius find a bee
bizzy from daylight to dark storin
up honey and workin like a beaver.
Yon don't newer see a honey bee
stoppin to loaf in the shade on a
hot day. A bee won't stop for
nothink exept praps to sting a per
son who interfears with his rights.
Vv'eU, why don't you be as bizzy
as a bee instid of wastin vour time
i in repinin? If you would work
' erly and late and make hay whilst
I the sun shines you would be in
comfortable circumstantces and in
dypendent, whereas like as not as
it is your're morgaged clean up to
the handle and can't skeercely
raise the intrust on same.
If we wassent industrious as ed
aitor & prop of the Bugle we would
of been in the poorhouse long ago.
I In fackt, we thort we was a going
Jfel
Copyrighted,
into bankrupsy on several occa
shions, but by industry we have
managed to keep the wolf from the
door. Industry is our motto, and
you'll notis that the emblem of the
Bingville Bugle is a bee at the top
of this page.
Most of the folks in Bingville is
too dadblamed lazy to come in
outen the rain or git outen the
shade in summer. That's why
they don't amount to nothink. Now
let us take up the next subjeck,
whitch is : ; ' '
HONESTY IS THE BEST
POLICY.
Somebuddy has said that "honesty
is the best policy," and we persoom
this is true, but according to the
way some of our deadbeet sub
scribers acks who is back from 10
to 15 yrs on subscripshion, we cal
kilate they don't take mutch stock
in the theory.
If they did they would step into
our offis and pay us a few dollers
on their paper and enable lis to pay
our honest debts. If everybuddy
who owes us would pay us a cupp'.e
of dollers on their back subscrip
shion we would waller in the lap
of luxshury so to speak & indulge
ourself in the bare necessities of
life for a spell.
If Hen Weathersby, prop of our
general store, would conduck his
self on the theory that honestv is
the best policy the scales he weighs
sugger and other groceries on
would weigh about five ounces
lightern they do at present and he
wouldn't sell eggs as strickly fresh
whitch has been in his store for
weeks.
Yes. honesty is the best policy,
but Bingville folks don't seem to
of found it out as vet.

Home on a Visit
We was turrible surprised totlicr day
to receive a pleasant call at the Bugle
offis from Clarence Wiegins a former
resilient of Bingville who left this town
two yeres ago to make his mark in the
world and now has a lukertive pn
sishion as janitter in a big bilding at the
co seat. j
Clarence is home on a vissit to his
parents for the 1st time sinst he went
away and has so changed we diddent
know who he was until he told us. He
now wears a stand up coller whitch
reaches to jest below his ears a brite
red necktie and has creases in his pants
as sharp as razors. Clarence has lernt
to smoke cigarets and swear almost as
wicked as old Abe Wiggins his father
besides menny other accomplishments
too ntimerus to mentchion.
When Clarence left Bingville he was
sent as dressy as he is now and diddent
roach his hair back nor wear collers
high enuff to choke hisself todeth. In
them days it was all his mother could
do to git him to wash his fase onct per
wk. Civilisashion has done a turrible
lot for Clarence but Abe his father says
he cant make up his mind whether he
ort to kick the bey or kill him,

BLIZZARD
That's Wiiot Struck Bingville Last
Thursday Bizness at a Stand

Spell! Several Narrer Excapes
but No Fatalities Sickkening
- Details Give Below!
There was a blizzard swep over Bing
ville last Thursday the like of whitch
aint newer been knowd in our midst
and we hope it wont newer happen
agin being as onct was enuff. Dad
Henderson, our oldest inhabitant says
he never seen the wind blow as it done
for a few hours on Thursday and Dad
has kep track of the windstorms in
this town for the past 60 yrs.
Thursday morning dawnd brite and
fair but crisp and cold and it looked as
if we was a going to have a right nise
sort of a day, but along about 10 a.
M. it begin to cloud up in the north
west and it wassent no time until the
wind begin to blow and snow begin Ic
snow and the blizrard begin to bliz.
The roof was lifted offen Cy Hoskin?
1-cnhouse and landed on top of Mil
Simpsons buggyshed 100 yds away
where it is yet. It must of been a tur
rible surprise for Cys hens who was
hurldeld up in the henhouse.
The wood sign hangin in front of the
law office of Ame Hillyer was tore out
by the roots and carried clean acrost
the st through the winder of Widder
Hiegins house breakin out two lights
and passin right tinder the widders nose
who was settin beside the winder knit
ting. Snide Petersby who is about six feet
tall, thinnern a rail and dont weigh no
moren 110 lbs was tryin to come down
st aginst the wind but was knockt flat
on his back. Snide got up four differ
ent times but was slamed down hard
agin. Finally he got scairt less the wind
migh git under him and blow him clean
over into the next township so he
crawled along the ground until he got
behint Sim Winslows barn where he
laid quiet until the worst of the blow
was over.
Miss Sally Hoskins left Hen Wcath
ersbys store where she had went to
purchase a spool of thread jest as the
storm was at its worst. The wind
blowd poor Sallys skirts around in a
turrible ridicklus manner and turnd
her umbrella wrong side out. Jest
when this happend she met Sim Goo
kins who laft at her whitch made Sa'Iy
so mad she hauld off with what was
left of the umbrella and hit Sim a clip
over his head with it, after whitch she
continued on her way home with het
hat down over one eye until she
couldnt skeercely see where she was
goin.
Gabe Homans wagon was standin out
in the road front of his house on top
of Teck Hill and blamed if the wind
diddent start the wagin down the hill
The wagon kept the road at the rate of
about a mile a. minnit until it come to
the bottom of the hilU then it struck
the bridge and jumpt into Snake Crick
busting all to stove wood.
About noon the wind went down and
it begin to snow and kep it up all after
noon and all nitc. Xext morning when
our residents lookt outen their winders
they seen that moren two ft of snow
bad fell on top off what was alreddy on
the ground so that tow the snow is
deep enuff to last until late next spring
even if not another flake falls.
Lokal Squibs
Xise Jancoary wether this, but it
..wont last mutch longer becuz it will
1 soon be Febrooary-
Next thing on the program will be
Spring and it cant come too soon for
us. In making this statement we per
soom we voice the general sentiment of
the entire communitty.
Hoke Peters got up with a awful
hedake last Sunday morning. Hoke
said his head bumped and thumpt jest
as if some person was hittin him with
a maul and he wouldnt want a snake
to have sitch a bad hedake as he had.
However, Hoke, theres one consolashion
and that is you must have something
of importance inside your head to ake
or you wouldnt suffer from hedake.
Mrs. Cy Hoskins had a darnin party
at her residence last Thursday after
noon to whitch several of our most
respeckted ladies was invited. Tea and
crackers was served. The ladies said
afterwards all they darned was Cy Hos
kins socks and altogether they must of
darned 20 prs. It looks like Cy couldnt
of had a pr of socks to his name with
out holes in em prior to this party.
Miss Phronicia Hunt of Snake Bend
has been the gest of Miss Sarah Green
for the past few days and the youmz
men hereabouts is paying her a gnod
eal of attenshion. In fackt Sim Wil
kins who is Sarah's steady has been
agoing to Phronicias house twict as
offen sir.st Miss Phronicia come to
town.town. It would be a. turrible joke
on Sarah if Sim transfered his affeck
shions to Phronicia.
Mrs. Matilda Dewberry while warsh
ing a tubfull of clothes last Monday
had the hoops to give way on the tub
whitch all went to staves and flooded
the kitchen with warsh worter. But
Mrs. Dewberry was ckal to the emer
gency she done her warsh in the dish
pan. Wes Woodruff our expert hunter &
trapper aint been to his traps now fur
two wks heir." as the snow is so deep
Wes says he jest cant navvygate his
trap line without gittin swa.nped. Wei
calkilates when he is able to visit hii
traps he'll ketch quite a number of ani
mals of various kinds.
Hank Dcwberrv went to shake out ivs
wood pipe in Hen Westhcrsbvs storo
stove tother day and blamed if it did
dent slip outen his fingers and fall into
the hot coals. Hank without thir.km
what he was a doing reached in after
it and burnt his rineers to sitch a ex
tent that he hollerd turrible. The pips
was burnt to a cinder and now Han':
has to fall back on his old corncob
whitch is so strong it makes him situ
to his stummick every time he smokes
it, but there aint nothink else to do.
Ras Slocomb made a trip to the co
seat on bizness and pleashure one day
last wk and when he returned about
dusk Eb Hite who lives next door to
Ras says while he was lookin out the
winder he seen Ras carry somethin!;
from the nunsr to the house that looked
turrible like a aal jug. Be that as h
may Ras has been more soshiable and
talkyiive sinst he come bark than ushual
and' we wouldnt wonder if there was
some liquid inspirashion behint it. Ras
never asks r.one of his nabors to havi
a taste with him however he's too tit
for that
Psrsonai Jottings
Harve Hincs our tonsorial barber cut
his own hair tother day and made a
purty good job of it except in one
place where he dipt his ear with the
shears until it bled. Harve says its
quite a feet for a person to cut their
own hair with their hands.
Hen Weathersby prop of our general
store is paying 30 cts per doz for eggs
and cant git enny at that price. Its sim
ply disgustin the way hens stop layin
when the price of eggs is up and lay:
like everything when eggs is cheap.
Dave White our poplar undertaker
says that for all the bizness there is in
his line in this town he might as wcil

soshial leaders among the yung ladies
last Sat. afternoon. Amelia poured and
when she wassent lookin what she was
doin missed the teacup and poured tea
on Miss Hildy Wade's new sateen dres

that Amelia would guvvern herself ac

Bud Hinckley who aint quite right in
his head done a fool trick tother morp
ing when the thermometer was away be
low zero. But went out to the wood
pile and stuck his tung aginst the blade
of the axe and of course his tung stuck
j there and Bud hollerd and his mother
j run out and led Bud into the house
! and soaked his tung loose from the axe
: with warm water. Then she give Bud a
aood lickin until his wails could be
heerd all over Bingville.
! These is r.bout all the personal jot
tings whitch we can scrape and rake
: together for this ishue of the Bugle. If
' you think its a easy job to colleckt a
, whole mess of personal jottings sitch
cold weather as this voure mistaken.
Flare Up Likely
We observe that Sam Barker don!
make as menny trips over to see Minnie
Hite who lives cm Pea Ridge as ht
used to a spell ago. It was roomerd
that Sam and Minnie was engaged ant4
' that the nupshial ceremony would takf
olace in the not far distant fuchurf
but from all we can lern we guess the
have had a flare up and the weddir
will probably be postponed indeni
Well. Sam you ort to cheer up and no
go around lcokin down your nose br
I cuz the course of true love never did
run very smooth & slick. And ennv
how it may he all for the best we hat
hcerd that Minnie has a awful temper.
HoW aRe Yon

off fOr aPpels?
Tother day I went down cellar
for somethink or other. I forget
what, and while there I deteckted
a odor whitch smelt like rotten ap
pels, and when I examind my barls
of appels I was disgusted to dis
cuvver that theyve went and
rotted turrible on me. Without
further delay I went to work and
sorted em all over, barl by barl,
pickin out and throwin away all
the rotten ones I could find. Re
fore what appels I have left, in
clooding Baldwins, Northern
Spies, Russets, King Wilyums,
et cetery, too numerous to ment
chion. all rots on me I have desided
to sell these appels to whoever
desires appels at a ridicklus low
price. Come and buy a bushel or
so before they rot on me. If you
don't want that menny then buy a
peck. Every little would help in a
case like this. Bring your appel
bag and take it home full & run
nin over. We'll talk price after
you get here, but please don't
delay becuz these appels is rotting
fast.
