We are glad to itate that sinst
the terrible thunder and lightnin
storm of lilt Tuesday, ,everal of
our citizens has went and decided
to have lightnin rods plsced on
their houses and barns and others
will foller their example.
We have always said that we
thought lightnin rods was a good
thing, but have been pooh-poohed
right to our face for saying so.
Now we can set back and look
pleasant and say, "I told you so,”
with satisfackshion. If there had
been more lightnin rods in our
midst last Tuesday it is a safe pre
diekshion that not near so many
buildings would of been struck by
lightnin in this visinitty.
Cy Hoskins, who has always
been opposed to lightnin rods up
to this time, now aeknollrdges the
error of his wavs and states that
he is agoing to have lightnin rods
)ut onto his premises until they
,e»t bristle with ero. C/a reason
for not having lightnin rods here,
tofore was that his house was
struck with lightnin about three
years ago and going on the princi-
>le that lightnin never strikes twict
n the same place. Cy he thought
lightnin rods would be sooperflu-
ous. When Cy wa* nearly getting
struck hiaself last Tuesday then he
changed his mind about lightnin
never atrikin twict in the same
place.
Bige Barker never would have
lightnin rods about his place being
u he didn't want to attraekt the
lightnin, as he said. We had to go
and explain to Bige that lightnin
rods wasn’t to attraekt lightnin but
to keep it away and then the scales
fell from Bige’s eyes and he admit
ted that lightnin rods might be a
awful good thing.
Bige said he had alius been of
the opinion that lightnin rods was
to bring the lightnin and that for
the life of him he couldn’t never
understand why people would have
lightnin rods about the house, be
cause from Bige’s standpoint light
nin was something that a person
would nacherly want to avoid if
possible and go a long way to keep
outen the way of.
Deacon Buttenvorth was op
posed to buying lightnin rods be
cause they was so expensive and
also because the Deacon believes
that the Lord will prevent a person
come up the Deacon was pottering
around out to the barn and blamed
( if a bolt of lightnin didn’t come in
through the winder in the gable of
the barn and the Deacon said it
come within a foot of going
through him. Sinst then the Dea
con calkilates that the Lord must
of been too busy at something else
to look after his safety and for
that reason the Deacon will have
lifchfnin rods put onto hie bsrn.
That thunder and lightnin storm
ought to be a lesson to all of us to
go and have lightnin rods ereekted.
The lightnin rod is a great inven
tion.
In conclusion we desire to say
that for the aecommodashion of
the public we have went and had
ourself appointed a agent for a
lightnin rod company and are au
thorized to sell lightnin rods to the
people of Bingville for all we can
get for them. Give us a call and
we will show you samples with
great cheer. Do not delay putting
lightnin rods on your house. An
other thunder and lightnin storm
might come up tomorrow and you
git struck like as not. Do it now I
now a thin* of the past. Of course
there is a few crokay partiea and things
like that, but nothing elaborate. So-
.-iet;- " ill brighten up however a little
later when the picknlck parties begins.

Society
Arne Hillyer. our talented loryer and
legal light, met with a peculiar mishap
last Friday night Before retiring for
the evening, Mrs. Hillyer made up her
bred dough in the diihpan and set it
on the floor close to the kitchen stove,
where it was warm and where it would
raise up light and nice, and then she
went upstairs and went to bed and to
sleep. Ame he happened to be out a
leetle mite later than usual that night,
bring as he got into a legal argument
with Jason Smiley down to Hen Weath-
erabys store, and remained there until
after 9 o’clock trying to convince Jason
he was wrong, and then Ame got dis
gusted and told Jason to go to thunder
and he went off home Ame went to
pass through the kitchen to go to the
pump to git a drink before he went to
bed, and being as the kitchen was dark
he went and stepped right into that
batch of dough and sunk in up to his
ankle and being as Ame thought it was
the cat he had stepped on, being it was
that soft, he let a yell out of him that
woked up his wjfe, and she coutoiwjr
ning down stairs with the lamp, and
when she saw Ame standing there on
one leg and holding up the other foot
with dough all hanging to It, the way
she laid it into him was someting aw
ful. She give him a tumble talkin to
whieh he will never forget Ame ain’t
got all the dough scraped often his boot
yet and-never expects to.

Amzi Gooldni, our civil war veteran
who fought at the Battle of Gettysburg

almost got into another fight with
Brest Hooker down to the P. O., wbit-
tlin at his wood leg as usual, being as

ain't got nothing else to whittle at, and
talking about his war record, when
Brent up and say: “O. blast it, Amzi. I
git sick and tired hearin you talk about
savin your country—I don't believe you
ever seen Gettysburg, and ennybody
who lets their wife boss em around
!:!•» whs' soil do I- a mighty poor >oljer
in my estimasbfon.’’
This made Amri so mad that he got
at white as chalk and ha unstrapped
his wtjod leg and stood up on one foot
and helt the leg in his fist and told
Brent if he wanted his head smashed
to wade right in and have it smashed.
Brent he jest laffed and Amzi hauled
off and throwd the wood leg and struck
Brent in the small of the back and
Brent ain’t felt well sinst. Brent would
of trimmed Amzi likely, but the crowd
helt him back. However, he got holt
of Amzi’s wood leg and throwd it
away over the Cy Hoskin’s vacant lot
which is growd op to weeds, and Amri
never found it til next day. Amzi says

Cut His Finger
While in Hen Weathersfcy’a store the
other day Hank Dewberry met with a
peculiar axident Hank aslced Jeremy
Gooldns for a chew of tobacco and
Jeremy Gookini handed his plug to
Hank and Hank took out his knife and
cot off enough for about three chews
and handed the plug back to Jeremy,
who told Hank if he didn’t mind he
would take what he cut off and give
him the plug, and Hank laffed and put
the hunk he had cut off into hia mouth
and went to shut his barlow knife blade
and the blade caught hit little finger
just as it flew shut and cut it almost to
the bone. Hank stopped a laffin and
jumpt into the air with a yell and when
he seen the blood spurt from the finger
he got white as a sheet and come tur
rible near fainting, being as Hank can't
stand the sight of blood. Willing hands
led him outside and the fresh air re
vived him. Hank was afraid that he
would bleed to death before h« could
get th* Mood stopped, but the man pres
etted at him and wrapped hie
finger up in his handkerchief and then
poured kerosene on it. which soma peo
ple says is very good for freah cuts.
Hank it better at this writing and will
be more careful when he goes to shut
his knife in the future.
