Cy Hoakina, who made a trip to
the Co. seat last week, brung home
with him a tumble rumor, which
we hope won’t never come true.
Cy said he heard on good authority
over to the Co. seat that some cap
italists from that place, who have
considerable capital which they
don’t know what to -do with, are
ng to use it up to build a street
fine from there through Bing-
ville, as far north as Hardscrabble.
Cy is big in for the street car line
bang as he figgers it will pass right
through his land and that he will
£ t several times as much as the
nd is worth for right-of-way.
Why don’t outsiders let Bingville
_.id its peaceful citizens alone?
What business have they to build
a street car line right through our
midst whether we want same or
not? So far Bingville has man
aged to wiggle along without a
street car line and we calkilate we
can do so in the future. We have
talked with several of our most re
spected citizens and from what
they say we infer that a street car
line through Bingville will be very
unwelcome.
Who wants the quiet serenity of
our peaceful town busted to smith
ereens by the offul rattle of street
line come to Bingville is that while
he has saw street cars, he has never
rode on one and would like to try
his hand at it five or ten cents’
worth anyhow. Hank says he
didn’t have much trouble learning
to ride a bicycle when they first
come out and he calkilates he could
learn to ride a street car also, if he
had a little chanct to practise.
Hen Weathersby. prop of our
general store, says he is dead set
against the street car line coming
to Bingville and he don’t care who
knows it. Hen says as soon as
there is a street car line from Bing-
ville to the Co. seat he reckons
folks will do all their trading at the
latter place and like as not he will
STUCK!
Two Fellers in a Automobeel Oe
fide Constubble Oewberry i
Then Got Stalled & Arested-
Cy Hoskins Made a Big Profit

cars whizzing right past our doors ?

We pause for a answer to this
question. Who is there in our
midst who desires to have their
wives or their children, if they have
any, or their cats or their doga
scairt to death by street cars buzz
ing past or like as not nin over and
injured or killed for life?
You can’t scarcely pick up a dty
newspaper nowadays without read
ing about some person who has
been run over by a street car. Do
we want that here?
Bill Hepburn, our artistiek black
smith, and Hank Dewberry, who
ain’t got no visible means of sup
port, are both in favor of the new
street car line, but thank goodness,
neither Bill nor Hank voices the
general sentiment of. the commun
ity. Bill says if there was a street
car line from Bingville to the Co.
seat it would be very convenient
for him to jump on a ear and ride
to the Co. seat on business and
pleasure every Saturday, returning
home on the last car Saturday
night, probably in a comotose and
inebriated condishion as usual As
for Hank, he says that the reason
he would lik« to sm a straw car
have to close up shop. He says it
: Bingville folks
is hard enuff to get
to patronize home trade as it is,
and that if there was a street car
line to the Co. seat so that a person
could ride there for a nickel, he
would have to cut down his prices
on dry goods, grocers, noshions,
etc. so as to sell as cheap as the
Co. seaters in order to hold trade.
Hen has enjoyed a monopoly of
the store business in Bingville for
lo these many years and hopes to
continue to do so in the future.
Let us rise up in our might and
protest against street cars coming
to Bingville. Let our town select-
kbo hi
men who have the interest of the
town at bavt rise up in their might
and pass an ordinance against
street cars entering the town. Far
be it from us as editor and prop
of the Bingville Bugle to stand in
the way of human progress or in
the way of street cars either, but
'eel it our sacred duty to fight
we fi
ainst street cars coming to Biiig-
lie to the last ditch.

Mora uca .VOX POPUL.L
There was a good eal of excitement
in town last Tuesday about noon,
which was anjoyed while it lasted by
everybuddy in Bingville, and we hope
that a similar occurrence will happen
toon again, becuz it sort of breaks the
monotony, at you might say.
About noon a loud noise was heard
approaching from the south end of
town which sounded a good eal like a
•team thresher. Several of our citi-
rent, who was tettin in the shade of
the piaua in front of Hen bVeathert-
by’s general store, discussing current
topieks of the day, tbort at first it was
a thunder storm coming up, but a little
later away down Main street appeared
a automobeel with two fellers in it
comin through town like at if Satan
Was after them.
Seth Dewberry, our heroick town
constable, tvho waa on Hen Weathert-
bv't stor* piazza when he teen the eu-
tomobeel approaching, said he guested
he'd show them fellers that they
couldn’t pats through our midst with
impunity at that rate of speed, so Seth
jumped out into the road and at they
eome on Ilka the wind, he waved his
arms and hollered at loud at he could
hollar, ‘You might at well stop, gents,
being at you are under arrest!’ - Before
Seth had got the words outen his
mouth the automobeel was nearly on
top of him, and with a yell of indigna-
shion Constable Dewberry jumped to
one side jest In time to keep from be
ing run over and probably fatally in-
jurc4.
The two feller* in the auto looked
back and laughed at Seth, who had fell
dowtf in hit efforts to escape, but he
got on his feet and shook hit fist after
em. However, the automobeel hadnt
went but a little ways until there was
a loud explothion occurred somewhere
in its vitals, and the thing come to a
in Bingville, including men, wimmen
.jMVi . ... ,
and children had arrived on the scene
of the disaster and being as many of
them Htd never see a automobeel dote
to, thej- wss very much interested in it.
Bud Hinckley, who ain't quite right in
his head, when nobuddy was lookin’
snuk up and blowed the horn on the
front end of -the machine and ior a
minute conttemashion reign"' «oo.
preme. The crowd fled in all direc-
shlons being as they thort the ntachino
wag agoing to start, but presently when
i it wasn't the;' all snuk back
they
again.
To make • long story short the two
chaps dickered with Cy Hoskins to
pull the machine into his barn with his
two horse* and leave it there until
they could go to the Co. Mat and re
turn with a new tire. Cy charged
o into the bam.
$5 for drawing the auto
was dowi
which was downright robbery, but
when Cy gets a automobeel or .a widow
or a orphan in a tight pjaee. he never
fails to make the most of his oppor
tunity. Cy alto told em they’d have to
pay 50 cents per day as long at the
automobeel remained in the bam and
furthermore he charged em S3 apiece
each for carrying them to'the Co. seat
in his spring wagon and bringing -h..n
back again, which he done Tuesday af
ternoon. to that they got the machine
fixed up and left Bingville the same
!y and Seth both say that they with
to goodness' automobeels would break
down qftener in our midst, being at'
they bring so much revenue into the
town.

acorns are plenty so is squirrels.

Just as we go to presa w* bear -that
Mrs. Jethro Jennings hi* gfv* birth ti
a 10-pound baby. Of course this may
only be a rumor, being as it coma to tea
third hand and at we will have to go to
press on time we won’t have a chanct
to get out and verify this report How
ever, if on investigashion it is found
that this ain't true, no harm will bo
done, being as Mrs. Jennings Is already
the mother of nine, and one more or
less won't make no difference to speak
of. We also failed to learn wbethea
the new arrival, if any, is a boy or a
girl, but we presume it is a girl, being
as most of the others have bees and
beeauie they naeherty want a boy.
Such is the irony of fate. Watch next
week's Bugle for a full account of
whether it is true or not and also a
full description of sex df child.
