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» Country Correspondence PECKHA M’S RIDGE. Alonzo Peokham visited the Co. seat last month.

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. GREAT SUBSCRIPTION OFFER o o O (I o o o o o o O f) o o FREE TO ALL!

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.
