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.

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.
