EDDYTORIUL,
We take our eddytoriul pen in
hand this wk to write a eddytoriul
on the great subjeckt of "Industry"
and for our text we are agoing to
take the bee, a pickshure of whitch
adorns the top of the Bugle and
has adorned it ever sinst the Bugle
first seen the light of day or in oth-
er wonds ever sinst the first copy of
the Bugle apeard in print.
The reason we take the bee as
our text is that the bee is very
svmbollick of industry the world
over. \V2io has not heerd for in-
stants«the expreshion, "As bizzy as
a bee," which merely means that
instid of loafing his life away the
bee gits right down to bizness and
works like a beaver from sunup to
sunset, then he goes to bed airly and
next morning almost before day-
light he is up and at it again as
hard as he kin lick into it, and thus
he keeps right on the job, as we
might say, without ever stoppin to
rest or hardly to take time to ete
his meels for that matter.
The bee is a inseckt who don't
newer let his work push him—he
pushes his work, and he pushes it
so hard that he don't have ennv
mercy on it skeercely. The bee
takes time by the forelock and gives
a yank fit to jerk all the front hair
outen Old Father Time and render
the face and they ain't got chuff
wood cut likely to bild a tire with.
This is awful!
When the snows descend and the
cold north wind blows they will
haft to put on their mitts and ear-
lugs and git out with the thermom-
metter below zero to cut wood from
day to day to keep them from freez-
in' to deth, whitch is almost as bad
as living from hand to mouth. Yes,
they will either do this or try to
borry wood from their nabers
promising to pay it all back when
summer comes agin and when sum-
mer comes agin they will forgit all
about it and will be found loafin as
ushual, careless of the fuchure.
If the bee was as lazy and triflin
and good-for-nothin as most of the
folks of this town there wouldn't
be no bees after one winter had
pasd. No, sir—if the bee didn't
hussle around and gether all the
honey he kin during the summer
when there is honey, he'd starve to
deth in the winter time.
Let us take a lesson from the
bee, gentle readers—let us buckle
on the armer of industry and git
out and do somethink worth while.
Let us wake up to a sents of our
responsibilities in this world and
work like bees and earn money and
then when we have ernt money let
us march like men to the office of
the Bugle and pay up what we owe
on back subscripshions.

That's What a Few BingvilleSkal

Hex Andrews had a cow to founder
on him one night last wk. Hez he for-
got to close the door of the granery
where he keeps his oats and some time
during the night the cow slipd her hal-
ter and got into the granery and et
oats fit to bust. In fackt she et so much
that she died from it being as Hez
starves his cows almost down to notb-
liim baldheaded, as it were. That's ink to save money and this poor critter

wisht to goodness we could say the
same for most of the inhabitants of
Bingville, which we can't, becu7 we
be a going to tell the truth and let
the chips of criticism fall where
they will.
The trouble with Bingville folks
is that while they could be up and
doing they lav back on their oars
in the shade of some tree or other,
or else set on their front piazzers
dreamin and dozin away while the
prechious minnits flit by them,
lever agin to return, alas! The
mill will newer grind with the
worter which has pasd is a turrible
true saying, and applies to most of
the folks in this town.
Here it is the latter part of Oc-
tober and we'll bet a vr's subscrip-
shion that haff the men folks of
Bingville ain't got their winter
wood cut as yet. No, while the
summer has passed and went they
have dilly-dallied away their time
becuz it was too hot to cut wood.
done so to her own fatality, as you
might say. Well, if she was alive it
could be said for onct she got all she
could eat.
Dad Henderson our oldest inhabitant
whose eyesight aint as good as it used to
be seen what he thort was a wood chuck
in his back field and got down his ole
squirl rifle and blowd whatever it was
alto pieces. Dad he harried over to ex-
amine the woodchuck but to his con-
sternashion and surprise be found that
what he had shot was not so much a
woodchuck as it was one of Lem
Brown's dominecker hens. Lem wanted
Dad to pay market prices for the hen,
but Dad said he wouldnt even if he had
to fight the case clean up to the Soo-
preme Court being as the hen had dent
no bizness on his land ennyhow.
Jed Peters our intelligent school-
teacher has started in on another terra
of school agin. Jed opend school last
Monday morning with seven skollars,
but when the fall work is all done up in
and around Bingville Jed expeckts to
have 15 to 20 skollars or mebby more.
When Jed opend school be said he
wouldnt lay down no rules until he
found that rules was needed. During
the first day, however, Jed licked five
Tother evg Deacon Butterworth was
complainin down to Hen Weathersby's
store about what turrible poor helth he
was it, but then that's nothin—the Dea-
con is alius complainin about some-
think or other. He is one of those kind
•of persons who there is alius somethink
the matter with or if there ain't some-
think the matter with him then there
is somethink the matter with the world
in general. The Deacon alius looks on
the dark side of everythink and is alius
ready to argy that there ain't no bright
side.
Folks who kin see the bright side of
life nacherly gits out ox pashience hearin
the Deacon take on so all the time. In
other words it gits monotynuss to hear
him complain and growl and claim all
the world .is agin him and that he has
poor helth, whereas there ain't nobuddy
in Bingville who has enny better helth
than the Deacon, and if ycni could only
see him plant his feet tinder the table
and eat a /ness of vittles which would
founder a horse or a cow you would
begin to .think that there wassent noth-
ing much the matter with him.
Well, tother evg the Deacon was
down to Hen's i-store and he set there
and wore a lookiof pain on his fase and
said that he diddent calkilate he had
long to remain on this mundane spere,
being as he alredJy had one foot in the
grave and soon expeckted to foller it
with tother one. The Deacon said his
stummick had went back on him and
that all he had et for supper was a junk
of salt pork, a haff crock of sour krout,
a whole mince pie and six doughnuts,
and that ewer sinst then he haddent felt
comfortable under his apron strings.
Nobuddy paid enny attenshion to the
Deacon, whitch made him turrible mad,
and at last he got up and started off
home in deep disgust sayin that all the
world was agin Orn and that folks did-
dent give a hang whether he lived or
died.
After he had went Hank Dewberry
said it would be a turrible good joke on
the Deacon to agree with him when he
said he was turrible sick and to sym-
pythixe with him. Sim Perkins said
likewise, and so did several others in
the store, so they made it up that when
they met the Deacon next day they
would do soO
Next morning bright and airly the
Deacon started down street to vissit and
gossip with his nabers as ushual, but
strange as it may seem he peard to be
right cheerful and peart for onct in his
life. The first man he met was Hank,
who says, "Waal, Deacon, how be you
this mornin f "Jest tolable," says the
Deacon, whitch was a good deal for the
Deacon to say, betng as he aint newer
been known to admit he was even tola-
ble, but alius says, misable instead. "You
don't look well," says Hank. "Waal,"
says the Deacae, who is turrible con'
trary and don't like to agree with any-
buddy about ennythink,'"I feel bettern
ushnal this morning." "You look tur
nbtc sick to me," says Hank, "and I'm
sorry to say it too, but I alius believe
in trllia a feller the truth—if a feller is
a going to pass away and a friend of
hisn kin see h, then it becomes a peT-
long to stay."
Deacon walked on thinkin this over
until he met Sim Perkins. "Good gra-
chious," says Sim, "what's wrong with
you this mormn, Deacon'" "Wliv "
says tlie- Deacoft gittiu kind of pale
around the gills. "Why becu/,''
Sim, "you look like a sick man to tne —
you look to me Deacon as it you was
a going into a decline." The Deacon
walked on without saying ennythink.
After that he met Plutarch Stone and
Ame Hillycr and Jake Winslow and
Bill Hepburn who was all in the skeem
and who all told the Deacon that lie
lookd turrible bad and must be awful
sick. By the time the Deacon gnt as
far down street as Hen Weathersbys
store he was sick sure enuff and there
wassent no doubt about it either—he
was as sick as a dog and as pale as a
ghost. He was so sick he couldn't walk
and set rite down on the sidewalk in
front of Hens store and had to be car-
ried into the store and all becuz he had
been told so much how sick he looked
by so menny folks that he was actually
sick.
Well, to make a long story short the
Deacon had to be carried home- on a
stretcher and put to bed. Doc I.iver-
more who also knowd about the joke
the boys was playin on him called to
vissit the Deacon and Doc seen that the
Deacon was in a bad way so he told
him jest what the fellers had put up on
him.
Soon as the Deacon was told that he
jumped right outen bed maddern a wet
hen and went down street and shuk his
cane under the nose of everybuddy who
told him he was sick and jerked of! his
coat and dared em to fight saying hed
show em whether he was sick or not
The fellers jest laffcd at the Deacon—
they wouldn't fight him being as he is
a old man and they respeckt his gray
hairs even if they dont respeckt his
complaints.
Well, the upshot of the whole entire
matter is sinst that day the Deacon aint
sed one single word about not feeling
well. Whenevver ennybuddy asks him
how he feels he'll say, "Fit as a fiddle!"
and there aint a word of complaint
come outen his mouth. As a result it
is believed the Deacon is cured of com-
plainin and in our opinion the fellers
who put up the joke on him done him a
great blessing also theirselfs becauz
they probably wont haft to lissen to his
complaints no more.
