The next day after Snide re turned home he put on his specs and set down on his front piazzer and begin to read the news. It was about 9 :30 a. m. when Snide bust into the Bugle office with the pa per rlencht in his hand and showed us in black and white print where Taft had been nominated for Pres ident of the U. S. by the republi cans and Bryan for the same office by the democrats. This was big news to us being as we hadn't herd nothing about it, and we cal kilate it will be a surprise to those of our subscribers who haven't al ready been toll about it bv Snide who spread the news nfl over Bing ville concerning these nominations. During the past few davs we shave been askd on many occasions ''vonther the Bugle would support Tnft nr Brv.-rn for President, if "'thr. We desire tr ay in reply ''i we ?w.- mt a vet made up - - "I-! r.-i 'nt point, and will .. -.. jn Qn ...itil wc ran confer with n-n-'V" r.irnmittee of both b;.-h has charge of the ''itr'brtWi of funds. Whether 'e Bugle roncrimsiouslv supports "ft or Brvan will depend a good 'n! on bow .-v-h the campaim ''f,ir'r are " t -(M 'upport ! to be governed by the dictates of our pocketbook than by our con science. Until the campaign managers of the two parties takes this matter up with us, we shaU preserve a onimous and dignified silence as to which candidate we will boost and which one we will bullyrag. Any propositions made to us will re ceive our earnest attention, and will be regarded as strictly confi dentia1.

Mysterious Light in the Sky Bing ville Thought the World Was Coming to an Eni but It Didn't. Horrifying Pertit erisrs Below Eph in Trubble Kph Higgins our accommodating P. M. reports that during this muggy August weather his postage stamps has all become stuck together something awful, until he has to work and sweat and sware to g:et a postage stamp when anybody happens to come in and want one. F.ph scys that between the stamps sticking together in summer and hav ing the gum cat off of them by the cockroaches in winter this job of being a government official ain't what it is cracked up to be. Cy in a Predicament Cy Hosklni, one or our most promi nent and respected citizens, had a em- harassing and humiliating experience to happen him late Monday afternoon this week.

It will be remembered that Tuesday night was a awful dark night. On the piazza in front of Hen Weathersby's store was seated the usual conglomeration of town loafers smoking, chewing terbaker, and indul- gin in iaie conversation, -nuuui ? p. m. Hod Quiggley happened to glance up at the sky in order to see what kind of weather there might be the next day, when his eye caught sight of a lumin ous red light which seemed to be hov ering in the Heavens over trie central portion of the town. Hod he rubbed his eves and looked again, but the light was still there, so he seys to the others, "What the tarnation is that red light up in the sky there anyhow is it a star or what?" Everybody looked where -Hod pointed and silence fell on fhejrt present. It was the general opin ion that it was not any star because stari isn t red. u hue they was look ing at it; the thing begin to sort of wobble round and move across the heavens, whereat a sickening silence fell on the spectators. Deacon An drews STfd he calkilated it was some token. Bill Hepburn, our artistic black smith, who for the most part has led a wicked and intoxicating life, asked in a horse whisper if it might be that the world was about to come to a end. Bill's words struck consternation t6 ev ery heart present. As oon Bill mentioned this awful suspicion the others present came to the conclusion that mebbee be might be righf, and hastened to their various homes to prepare for the worst. The news of this awful red omn In the sky nread like wiMfire over Bing ville. and in a few minutes the entire popalation was out In the streets gaz incr with awe-sfrirk wonder at the light as it wiggled abonf wav un yon der in the sky. Women moaned and n'per their hands, and some fainted. while strong men lot ther" corrac- and begin to recall .ill the wicked twines they had ever did in their p.tt. Finally someone sugrested t'-nt the crowd should go to the narona?e oc cupied bv Rev. ?imiifl Moor. v,,invP pastor of the Bingville church, and should ask him to prav that the end of the world might be sf-- cd off for few weeks if nossible Th:s suee"-, tion was adopfM and rvervbodv made a rush for the parsonage Key. Moore, who was just ready to retire for the rvpht. was routed o''t and when he learned the cause throwd npm the rW.r of the chu'oh, lit the lamps' "d rounded with red tissue paper attached to the tail of a hitr kite Hv follerine I .,n I. i:nL. frmx.A lit-!, V, a t nniw ceast to be alarmed discovered at the end of the string by which the kite was pulled in little Andy Andrews and Her man Hepburn, respective sons of Deacon Andrews and Bill Hepburn who had put tip the kite at night with the red lantern at its tail just for a lark. Bill and Dea con each administered a sound thrash ing to their respective offsprings on the spot, .and then the crowd dispcrst and re turned to their various homes in deen discust. Bill Hepburn scys that under the circumstances he will not feel bound to keep the vows he made with respect to drinking. While Deacon Andrews, who returned Cy Hoskins the $10. seys that unless Cv gives it back to him he will persecute him to the full extent of the law. They as ronfest to their past now claims that the things they told about thereselves ain't so, and Bingville has by now assumed the even tenor of its way. Hank Fell In Personals & Locals Mixt Peter okins who Sundayrd with his son Israel Hoskins, who lives at lion's Cross Roads last Sunday, eat hearty of a chicken dinner and got the wishbone in his throat and nearly choked. Peter reports Iz and family doing well. Mrs. Susan Woodbury papered her front parlor last week and done the job herself without the assistance o( anybody. It is a neat job with the e.Nctption of one side of the room where the strips of paper don't run up and down quite plum. Jrd Peters, our intelligent school teacher, reports that he has met with hrillyant success as a book agent in Bingville and vicinity this summer. Jed has been re elected to teach the Bingville school this coining winter. Jed seems to have the nack of learning bis pupils considerable. Hank Dewberry while fishing from the Bingville bridge ovfr Snake Creek last Sunday went to sleep, leaned for ward, and fell about 10 feet into five foot of water. As soon as Hank struck the water with a splash he woke right up, and to say that he was surprised would be putting it mild. Hank could n't swim scarcely a stroke so he splashed around on top of the water hollerin for help, but nobody herd him, and finally he begun to pet exhausted and he sunk when finally his feet touched the bottom and he walked ashore in disgust. His fishing pole was broke by the fall. Local Items Deacon Butterworth has been losing several pullets lately. He iey they was took by a skunk and furthermore the Deacon seys he knows the skunk's name being as he tracked him home. The Deacon seys there is two kinds of skunks human skunks and animal skunks Abe Wilson of the County Seat was in Bingville the other dav and swopt horses with Mel Hinckley. The horse Abe got died on the way home the same (lav of the trade, whereas the horse Mcl cnt liver' until the next morning. Neither Abe nor Mel got very niiirh the best of each other in thaf dicker. Sometime ago the Widow Skinner had a portrait made of her husband. o!d"Ben Skinner, who hat been dead for lo. these many years, which she 1 hnror in the parlow and took g-eat rr.ifort in. Last week while dustina off he pictu-e the nail nulled oit and it fell down so that the back of a. chair went right through old P.en'i face in the picture. Mr Skinner is! furrihle put out about this. j Cr fEm for saioF It occurred to me ttic other day thai I rut up more ice last winter than I will be able to use this season, and rather than have any of this ice left over, I will now offer what ice I have left for sale to whoever desires ice.
