There is many indications which ind
icate that Bingvilic is on the edge of a
big boom this summer wich will be far
reaching in its effeckt and will do more
than anything else to help this town
take her place along with other popul
ous centres throughout the country.
We don’t know what to attribute this
boom to unless it is simply the spirit of
the times. We have always said how
ever that Bingville, owing to its natural
advantages and its nearness to civilisa-
shion, as you might say (being only 15
miles from the county seat), would
grow and prosper if it only had time
enough. Our prophetic words is coming
true.
One thing that indicates the growth
of this boom perhaps more than any
thing else is the large amount of build
ing in our midst which has been laid
out and now that weather is getting
better will be pushed rapidly forward
toward completion without delay. We
made a house to house canvas the other
day in the interests of the Bugle for
the purpose of finding out just what is
going to be built, and we take pleasure
in giving in this connection the follow
ing list, viz., towit:
Henhouse by Arioch Skinner.
Front palings repaired by Lem
Brown.
New door put on his cellar by Ante
Hillyer, our talented legal light.
Several chicken coops by Gid Smal
ley.
An addition built onto his kitchen
by Cy Hoskins.
Two new shelves, to make room for
new goods arriving daily, by Hen Wea-
thersby, prop, of ottr general store.
Fourteen rod of stone fence by Atnzi
Gookins.
Several new boxes in tbe P. O. by.
Eph Higgins, our poplar postmaster, for
the accommodations of those desiring
private boxes for their mail matter.
Wagons, drag sleds, etc., by Bill Hep
burn, our artistick blacksmith. Work
done on short notice. Give him a call.
(Adv.)
Two bee-butts by Sime Peterson.
There is doubtless other building go
ing on which we did not learn of being
as our time was limited. We also dis
covered several jobs under contempla
tion which the projectors may yet dec
ide to carry out. For instants Brad
Hinsley is thinking some of shingling
his barn. He has been thinking of it
for the past five years, but on account
of its cost Brad has put it off from time
to time. He can’t put it off much lon
ger, however, because there is only, a
few shingles now left on the barn.
All these things shows plainly the
boom which Bingville has ahead "of it.
These building enterprises which otir
most respectful citizens has begun show
that we are prospering and growing as
a town, and we are glad of it. What
we now need is a few manufnekshuring
enterprises to come here. Why don’t
the Board of Trade sec to this? This
would furnish work for those of our
citizens who have nothing to do and
arc glad of i»

BUN OFF
Heck Peters Meets With a
Gafammitty and His Miik
& Wagin Is a Total Loss
There was a horrible thing happened in
Bingville early last Thursday morning,
which stirred our inhabitants up to a tur
rible pitch -of anxiety for a while, which
they hope they may never feel again.
Luckily nobody was hurt, but there was
many narrow excapes and Instead or
writing this thrilling account of what
took place, we might jest ns easy be
writing obituary notices with tear-
dimmed eyes.
Last Friday night Heck Peters, who
had been colleckting inilk and cream and
buttermilk In Bingville and viclnltty. and
had colleckted a whole wagon load of
same In cans, left liis wagon standing in
front of his residence on Main street, and
put his hosses up for the night, expect
ing to take a early start for the Co.
seat the next morning (Thursday) where
he sells all his milk, making one trip
per wk. It was about 7 o’clock the next
morning that Heck was all hitched up
ready to start. At the last minnit he
thought he would go into the house and
ask his wife if she wanted him to do any
ernds at the Co. seat for her, so he left
the horses standing and went in..
While Heck was inside they was a gust
of wind blowcd a old copy of the Bing
ville Bugle offen Cy Hoskln’s front piaz
za, rite acrost the road and under the
noses of the horses, and blamed If they
didnt rar tip and start down Main street
attached to the wagon full of milk in
cans lickety split.
Heck heard the horses start, and rushed
from the house in time to see them dis
appear in a cloud of dust. The mad
brutes continued down the middle of
Main street at a turrible rate, with the
wagon swinging from one side to the
other, and the cans rattling with a deef-
ening roar that sounded like a thunder
storm coming up, only louder.
Seth Dewberry, our lion hearted town
constable, who was sitting in front of
Hen Weathersby’s store thinking up som
clew's or something, saw the runaway
horses coming and run out and stood in
the middle of the road and waved his
hat and tried to shoo them back -and
otherwise Intimidate them. But the horses
was scared to death and wouldn’t in
timidate worth a cent and when they
was within about a hundred yds. of Seth
he got out of the road as fast as he
could lick it and the wagon swung by
and a five gal. can of sweet milk bounced
outen the wagon and struck Seth a crack
on top of the head. Seth wouldn’t of
cared for this except the plug come outen
the can and our brave constable was
blame neer drounded with sweet milk
which soaked him up and run down his
neck and made him feel out of temper
and uncomfortable.
From that on the cans continued to
spill outen the wagon and bust until the
street was swimming in milk as you
might say, and all the cats and docs in
town was out In the road lapping it up
and r.o doubt glad that It happened.
At the lower end of the town was Hod
Quigly driving up street with a lead of
manure, and when he seen the runaway
team coming. Hod he was afeared they
wouldn’t be room enough to pass in the
road so he turned his team back tother
way anl licked ’em into a run. spilling
most of the manure in his wake. When
Ilod reached the cross-roads below town
he turned out jest in time to lot the
team shoot past. Hod says at that time
.they was only four cans of cream in the
wagon and they was having a awful
rough time of It.
Plutarch Stone of Sorrow Hollow hap
pened to be in town with a horse and
buggy which was hitched In front of the
j B. O. and Heck and him got into the
| buggy and dniv outen town in quest of
the team which they ealkilated they would
"Haft to go as far as the Co. sent for. All
the v.ny along they come acrost. milk
S cans and Hock would ring his hands and
' say. “Oh. my .milk, my milk!’*
I Two mile outen town at the foot of
' Noodle Hill they found the two horses
which had run away eating grass beside
the road hitched to the front axle of the
wagon. The remainder of the wagon
was scattered between that point and
Bingville. also the cans of milk. They
hitched the two horses on behind the
buggy and drove back slowly gathering
up what cans of milk as wasn’t spilt
including four cans of cream which when
Heck opened same he found had been
churned into butter by the rough rido
they had had.
Heck’s wagon Is a total loss as you
might say also his load of milk and the
cans is jammed up terrible. If you want
to make Heck mad jest ask him some
time If he thinks some of entering his
milk team in the free for all race at the
county fair next fall. Heck has stopped
his Bugle because he says it is what
scairt his horses and made them run off.
Personals
Hod Slocum has begin to dig his well.
He lowed to dig it 1*5 ft. deep, but the
ground’s so plaguey rocky that Hod cal-
kilates about 8 ft. will be deep enuff.
Hez Andrews had a cow to come in
fresh on him last week. Hez wasn’t
expeckting this until next week. The
best of us is fooled, however.
Ben Wade of Snake Bend called to
see why his Bugle didn’t get to him last
week. Ben was purty hot under the col
lar about it, too. We did not know the
reason. We also do not know the reason
why Ben has not paid up his subscrip
tion for the past II years.
Dad Henderson, who was shot in the
Battle of Bull’s run during the slvil war
failed to receive his monthly penshion
which was due last week and is a good
eal worked up over it. Dad says his
creditors will haft to wait on him until
his penshion arrives, and it is no use to
hound him for his honest d£tts.
Hen Weathersby. our popular store
keeper, got out his stock of fly-paper
last week, and dusted it off for the sum
mer trade. He left a sheet lying on a
chair In the sun and when the flypaper
had got nicely thawed out, as you might
say, Ranse Hillyer come into the store
and like a blamed fool set down on it.
Ranse never does look where he sets.
Ranse got some flypaper off, but the most
of it is sticking to his pants as yet. Hen
wanted to charge Ranse for the sheet.
Hen told Ranse the reglar price of fly
paper was 10 cts. but being as it was him
he would let him have It for a cts. Ranse
said he already had it and didn’t want it,
and be goshrammed if he’d pay for it
either.

Once again the stork has visited our
midst. On FrI. ev’g of last week at ex
actly 5:30 o'clock p. m. by Doc Liver
more’s watch who officiated there was
borned to Mr. and Mrs. Bale Hawkins a
boy weighing in pounds and a quarter
on Hen Weathersby’s sugar scales which
was borrowed for the occasion, and the
baby was weighed in the presence of
witneses so there can’t be no doubt
about it.
This makes five for Bale and his wife,
three being girls and the remainder
boys. Bale says he is turrible glad that
this last one is a boy because by the
time the young one grows up to a age
where he can be of some use on the farm
Bale will be getting old and will need
help and having another boy of his own
at work will save him hiring help which
a farmer can’t afford to do nowadays.
Both father and mother are doing well
at the present writing. Bale purchased
two fresh packages of tobacco' at Hen
Weathersby’s store tother night and
opened them »P in the store and told the
boys to fill their pipes on him. Bale is
turrible generous that way when a boy
baby comes.
Lem and Hisself on tiie Outs
Lem Quigley, who talks? a good deal
to hisself and is terrible absent minded
at times, was setting outside of Hen
Weathersby’s store tother morning, when
he begin to talk to hisself. Hen heard
him talking and went to the door to see
who ho was talking to. and seen that Lem
was conversing with hisself. Lem was
arguing in his own mind nbont the tar-
riff. and it seems he. couldn’t agree with
his own views, and he got mad at his
self and went out into the road and
wanted to fight, and then when it dawned
on hisself that he was making a fool
of hisself. he went ott home in disgust,
with Hen hollering and luffing after him.
If you want to make Lem as mad as a
wet hen. jest ask him if he has made
up with hisself yet.

To Let
I deelre to a nottnee that I have a
patch of ground which I will let to any
person desiring to plant potatoes or corn
or anything like that. I have been rais
ing crops on this patch for the past five
or six years and it has always done well
by me until the last year. I think it is
kind of run out and needs a rest or some
manure and 1 am therefore willing to
rent it outright for $5 cash in advance
or let it out on the shares me to get half.
See me about this.
