XMAS EDITORIUL
It would not be fitting if we went
to press with this ishuc of the
Bugle without dashing off a eddy-
toriul on Xmas whitch is only a
few days in the fuchure and being
as we aint newer went to press
without a eddytoriul on Xmas sinst
we have been edditor, prop. &
everythink else we can think of of
the Bugle we dont perposc to de-
part from our ushual custom on
this ospishus occashion so here
goes: *
XMas is somethink whitch
comes but onct a yr and is some-
think whitch is probable looked
forrard to with more joyful antisi-
pashion than enny other date in the
callender inclooding the 4th of
Tuly & O. Washingtons birthday
for that matter. Xmas is looked
forrard to with a good eal more an-
tisipashion by them that expeekt
to receive than by them that ex-
perkts to give.
Somebuddy whose name has ex-
raped us has said that it is more
blessed to give than to receive, but
folks in Ringville dont seem to
to think that. When Xmas comes
in our midst the best element of
this town seems to think it is the
proper caper to give jest as little
as possibil and get back in return
everythink they can. Unless they
ran do this they seem to think that
Xmas has been a faleurc as far as
they arc concerned.
Almost everybuddy in Bingville
will celebrate Xmas in one way or
another according to the dicktates
of their own conshients. Some
will have Xmas dinners with roast
turkey, cranberry sauce, gravy,
inintz pie & all the trimmins and
will eat till they nearly bust and as
a result be uncomfortable to their
stummicks and misable for the rest
of the day, then there ts some who
rant afford a turkey dinner and
will either try to git theirselfs in-
vited out to dinner or else have a
Xmas dinner on corned beef and
cabbage.
Wes Woodruff, our expert hunt-
er & trapper, ketrhed a hedghog in
one of his traps last wk whitch he
skun to keep from getting his-
self all stuck up with quills and
hung up to freeze. Wes says he
aint got no turkey for Xmas, but
his wife is a going to roast this
hedghog for Xmas dinner, and he
calkilates it will be tumble de-
fSim Oookins and his wife over to
Wesses house to partake of the
hedgehog on Xmas day.
Sim says he wishes to goodness
Wes was a going to have turkey or
goose or even a tuff ole ginney hen
for that matter instid of hedgehog,
being as he never yet et hedgehog
and is afeard when Wes skun it he
diddent git all the quills outen it
and he might git one of the pesky
sharp things fast into his throat
and choke to <ieth on it. Sim says
lies a going to go purty slow and
keerful on the hedgehog and calki
lates he wont ask fer a second
helping of same.
As for us personal, we will cele-
brate Xmas in a very quiet manner
at home. Gid Smalley left a tough
ole raw honed turkey at our*offis
tother day on hack subscripshion
and we give him credit for fi
months whitch is all the critter is
worth, and we arc agoing to Xmas
dinner on that tnrkey. Our wife
says she calkilates if she parhiles
the bird for a cupple of days and
then roasts it for another day it
will he tender enuff to eat if we
take our time chaw it up well.
With these few remarks we
wisht everybuddy in Bingville. in-
clooding every man. woman, child
and dog, a merry Xnia<! & a Happy
New Yr.
No Penshion Resolved
Old Dad Henderson who fit in the
sivil war and has a wood leg to show
for it (especially when the leg aint lost
somewheres being as whenever Dai
takes his wood leg often hisself he for-
gets where he puts it haft the time) says
he aint received a cent of his penshion
money whitch was due to arrive from
Washington a wk ago.
Dad is purty mad about it too and he
says for two cts he would set down and
write the Penshion Dept a letter that
would make em cringe in their boots.
Dad says bow in thunderashion does
the U. S. Guwerment expeekt him to
selebrate Xmas when he aint got a red
sent to selebrates on? Dad ushually sel-
ebrates this joyous occashion by pur-
chasing a qt of old rye at the co seat
and drinkin it all up hisself. but this yr
it looks as if be was a going to haft to
spend a sober and gloomy Xmas.
Bill Has Swore Off
Rill Hepburn walked into the Rugg’e
offis last wk and told us he wanted us
to print in the paper that be had swore
that he would never let another drop of
licker tetch his lips agin as long as he
lived
We congratchulated Bill on this nobul
step he had tuk and told him we would
he glad to print the fackt that he had
swore off and that we was shure he
would git the moral support of every-
huddy in Bingville
LATER—It has jest come to ottr
ears from reliable orthorittv that Bill
says that when he told us he had swore
off hr forgot that Xmas was only a few
da's off and this being the rase he has
lostponed swearing off until af*er
Xmas

Farmers to the north of town reports
that they had a heavy tall of snow up
that way last Wensday night being as
snow fell foot deep in some places
and clean tip to your chin in others

surprised if hr had of ketched a hear in

holerd “Enuff!” Jed says if he cott'd
only find out the fiends in huming form

ccrtingly give em a good trouncin.
Personal Squibs
Last Sunday during ehuAh services
Deacon Andrews who alius sets over in
the Amen corner went to sleep as
ushual and was snoring away soft and
peacefnl as ennythink when all of a
suddint a gnrrammed mouse run up the
Deacons pantleg.
The Deacon woke up and looked
around turrible wild and when he real-
ised that a mouse had run up his leg he
jumped into the air and let a screech
ov*vn hisself that made the cold chills
go over everybuddy present. After the
screech the Deacon begin to swear. He
finally slapped the mouse and killed it,
then he went home in disgust.
Everybuddy herrd the langwidgr the
Deacon used, but now he denies that he
said ennvthink enny worse than “C,o1a-
mighty I”
We desire to call the attenshion of
the genl publick to the fackt that the
sidewalks of Ringville in some places js
turrible slippery from the ise and that
’es- th*m wnosr property ahutt* on
«ich sidewalks sprinkels ashes on same
somehuddy is liable to fall and break
their fool neck and then whcievers side-
walk it was is liable to have a damage
suit on their hands. We know some
folks in this town who would be willing
to break a bone or two jest on purjwse
if they llioit they vould utllcu « few
dollers damages. A word to the wise
ts suffishent.
