Little by little as news concern-
ing what is a going on in the world
has reached Bingville ushually via
a cittv newspaper which has been
sent to the Bingville P. O. by mis-
take and whitch Eph Higgins, our
accommodating P. M., has opend
& read and whitch has then been
passed on from one to another
until it was wore out, as Voil might
say—we repeat, that little by little
the wimmen folks of Bingville
sinst they have lernt ths^ wimmen
folks in furrin parts of this coun-
try are fighting for the right to
vote, have the awdacitty to think
that they, too, should be gave the
sacred right of sufferage.
Shall the wimmen of Bingville
ever vote?
"NEVER!" we rqily.
And when we say "Never!" so
emfattick we per&ooiu wc voice the
opinyun of all stalwart men in
Bingville. What right has a wo-
man got monkeying with the sa-
cred right of sufferage? -She ain't
got no right, we reply.
A woman's place is in the home
doing the cleaning, washing, cook-
ing, ironing, mending, et cettery,
too numerous to mentchion. If
the wimmen folks of Bingville
should go in for politicks our
homes would be a delooshion and
a snare. Politicks is had enuff as
it is, and what would it be. we ask,
if wimmen was running politicks?
Where would they run them to?
They'd run them into the ground,
that's where.
Why, some of the votes of men
in Bingville is ruled by wimmen as
it is! ThercJs Hod Slocomb, for
instants—Hod has to vote the way
his wife tells him to, and there is
other husbands who haft to do the
same, but we won't humilyate them
by mentchioning their names in this
conneckshion. Wc wouldn't ment-
chion Hods name, either, if it
wassent that he stopped his Bugle
last wk ow ing us $11 on back sub-
scripshion, which we newer expect
to get.
If you are a husband it is your
dooty to show your wife that her
place is at home instid of mixing
up in politicks and wanting to vote
which is absurd and ridicklus in
the extream.

Got your winter wood cut as yet?
If not you had better do so at onct.
Gid Smalley says this is a going to be
a hard winter, being as chikkens have
more foliage on them than ushual. Gid
says this is a shure sign.
Have you paid ennytbink on your
back subscripshion to the Bugle of late?
Ask yourself this questshion in the
sanktity of your own conshients some
day when you are not bizzy and govern
yourself according. We could use a
few dollars to a good advantage at this
writing. In fackt we can't remember
when our own personal financhial strin-
gency was ever so stringent ai at pres-
ent. Please remit. P. S.—If we are
not in the office hand same to our wife

Hez Andrews has made him a new
ox yoke for the new team of oxes
whitch he purchased recent from Hoke
Peters. Hez is of the opinion that there
aint a likelier pair of oxes in this
neck of. woods .than, these and he says
they can pull turrible.
Dad Henderson tuk his razor to
Harve Hines, our tonsorial artist &
barber, to be honed one day last wk.
Harve charged Dad IS cts for the job
and after Dad had tuk hi« razor home
he" happened to think that he wouldn't
need to shave until next spring being
as he alius lets his beard grow in the
winter to' proteckt his face. Then Dad
cussed the luck being as he could jest
as well of had the use of them 15 cts
for six months or more.
Sinst Hen Weathersby, our enter-
prising store keeper, has started a fire
in his stove the stove smokes like every-
thing. Only tother evg it smoked so
that several of our most esteemed cit-
tizens. w.ho was setting around the stove
in Hen's store coffcd their blamed heads
off almost and had to go home. It is
our opinion that Hen will lose trade
by this unless he fixes the stove so it
won't smoke.

teacher of the Binpville school, is j

her Uncle Jim every year or so.

Marriages—Why Not?
Wc are ashamed to admit that we
ain't recorded a marriage in our midst
for several 'wks. Why is this, we ask ?
Simply because there ain't been no mar-
riages, we anser.
What is Bingville Coming*to enny-
how? Last wk we made it our bisness
to ask several of our most marriagebale
young men why they diddent take unto j
theirselfs a wife and their reply was
that it was owing to the high cost of
living being as they could skeercely
support theirselfs.
This is a poor excuse. If we don't
continue to have marriages in our midst
Bingville we perdickt will deteriorate in
obnoxshious desootood. How can Bing_
ville ever hope to take her proud place
among the metropolises of this coun-
try if we are a going to stop having
marriages in our midst? What makes!
a metfropolus? Why populashion of
course. And what makes populashion?
Why marriages of course.
Rev. Moore, the beloved pastor of
our Bingville church, announces that in
order to iudooce young folks to get
mariied hereabouts he will perform the
marriage operashion making the couple
man and wife for the insignifficant sum
of $1.50 cts until further notise.

A Faleure
Thats What Hod Peters & Jim
Watson Met Up With in Their
Search for Honey-Turrible Ex-
ponents for lim Who Is Still
Laid Up!-Hod Says He'll Git
That Honey Yit or Bust!
Last Satterday forenoon while Hod
Peters was settin out on his back steps
in the sunshine smokin and wishin to
goodness that he had his corn all
husked up, along come a bee, and after
buzzin around Hod's head for a minnit
until Hod says: "Git outen here, dod-
gast ye er lie swat the packen outen
ye!" went & lit on a appel butter crock,
and after fillin itself up with the sugar
on the crock riz up above the house,
buzzed around a minnit until it got its
bearings and then sailed off straight
west over the barn.
"By graehious, that bee's makin fer a
bee tree!" exclaims Hod, and without
takin time to put on his hat, Hod
jumpd to his feet, dim over the fence
and follerd the bee as hard as he
could go. The air was sort of cool up
where the bee was flyin and it sagged
along kind of slow, which enabled Hod
to keep his eye on it.
When Hod come to the next fence
he jumpt it at a bound and lit out
acrost Sim Wilkins plowed ground
which Sim had jest sowed to wheat.
Sim happened to see Hod running acrost
the field and hollered at him, "Git offen
my sowed ground, you ding-busted
fool!" but Hod hollered hack, "Don't
detain me—Ime ia a turrible hurry!"
Sim was mad, so he sicked "Towser,"
his* old bulldog, on Hod. Towser can't
run very fast, but he done the best he
could and gained on Hod like every-
thing
When Hod seen that Towser was af-
ter him and kctchin up fast, he was a
good eal sweat up and follerd the bee
faster than ever Hod said afterw'ards
he was purty bizzy keepin one eye on
the bee and tother on "Towser, and it
like to of sprained his eyesight.
When Towser come to the stone
fence he couldn't jump it like Hod
done, so Towser run a king the fence
to find a place to git through and come
acrost the woodchuck hole and started
to try to dig the woodchuck outen the
hole and forgot all about Hod.
Well, Hod finally follerd the bee into
Plutarch Stone's woods until he seen it
light on a white oak tree and crawl
into a hole in a limb about 30 feet from
the ground.
Then Hod hurtled back fo Bingville
and happend to meet Jim Watson at
the edge of town Hod told. Jim he
had found a bee tree and if he, Jim,
would chop down the tree, doing all
the labor hisself, they would go hav-
vers on the honey inside the tree. This
was agreeable to Jim. who went home
after his axe, and the two returned to
the bee tree and Jim begm to chop
down the tree Hod pointed out, white
Hod set bark in the shade and smoked.
Bye and bye the tree fell with a dull,
sickening thud, but there diddent seem
to be no bees in it, and then Hod sud-
dintly dtscuvverd that h* had made a
awful mistake and that jttn had went
and chopped down tht wrong tree.
This almost rt^ade Jim sick to his stnra-
mick, and he called Hod names that
Hod wouldn't of took from no living
man If he haddent been in partnership
with him on the proceeds of th« honey,
as you might say.
Hod pointed out another tree to Jim,
whitch he said was shurely the right
tree that had the bees in, but Jim was
sent willing to tike Hod's word for it
without first going up the tree to ascer-
tain the truth for hisself, so he re-
moved his shoes and stockings and
shinned up the tree like a squirl, until
fust thing he knowd he was right over
the hole the bees was in and they
poured outen that hole like fury and
begin to sting Jim somethink awful.
Help I Help! hollers Jim in agony,
hangin onto the tree like grim detn.
"Light your pipe and smoke em out!1*
hollers Hod at Jim.
"How can I let go my holts on the
tree to light my pipe?" groans Jim. "If
I do lie be smasht to my doom—besides
I ain't got enny matches ennyhow P
"Come down part way and lie hand
you a match I" hollers Hod.
This made Jim so mad that he let go
one hand to shake his fist at Hod and
come tumblin down outen the tree
bumpin into the limbs as he fell and
struck the ground so hard he bounced
three feet into the air. Strange as it
may seem, Jim wassent fatally injured.
Jim jumpt to his feet and started to
run with the bees still follering him.
Hod was stung a few times in the re-
treat, but not near so bad as Jim.
The two run haff a mile before they
could git ahtt of the bees and by this
time Jim's eyes was sweld shet with
bee stings to sich a extent that he
couldn't see where he was going, and
so Hod had to take htm by the hand and
lead him back to Bingville, where they
arrived after a long, tireless journey.
Jim's wife put flaxseed poultices on
Jim's fase and hands and helpd him to
bed-
Hod says that he's a going to wait
until it gits cold and then go out there
some day and cut down that tree and
git all the honey in it when the bees is
so cold and numb that they can't sting.
Plutarch Stone says if he sees Hod
cutting down enny bee trees or enny
other kind of trees on his land he'll
have the law on him for trespass. Hod
says he don't calkilate Plutarch will
see him.
Surprise (or Clem
A Awful Mliop
Slim Wiggins sold a pig last week to
Ab Smith of Bingville* (considerashion
unknowd) and one of the condishions
of the sale was that Slim was to de-
liver the pig on the hoof to Ab in
Bingville.
Well, on Tuesday morning last, brite
fit early, Slim started to drive the pig
into Bingville. The pig was a going
along as nise as you please and Slim
had almost got to the edge of town
■when he met Ranse Hillyer com in
drivin a buckboard, with Ranse's dog
"Peter" runnin along in front.
Soon as Peter seen the pig he made a
dash for it, being as Ranse's dog is
nothin but a pup and very full of mis-
chief. When the pig seen the dog comin
it turned tail and started back. Slim,
he jumpd in front of the pig to head
it off, but the pig jest shut its eyes and
hit Slim about knee-high. Slim went
into the air with a yell and fell in the
road with vilence enuff to bust him in
two.
Soon as Stim could git up he kindly
invited Banse to step outen the bnck-
board and get a blamed good thrashin
for havin sich a ornery dog as that.
Ranse, he excepted the invitashion and
within five minnits he had licked. Slim
until the latter hollerd "Enuff P as loud
as he could holler.
Then Slim walketf bade home, where
he found the pig in the barnyard. Slim
says if Ab Smith wants that pig he'll
haft to come after it hiseelf, h»ing as
he won't undertake to drive the animile
to Bingville agifl if fa Ij^Pi Jg be 200
years old,
