For some time past it has been on our mind to give the trusts of this country a bitter arrainnient by means of a red hot editorial in this collum and we now take our pen in hand to do so. For. the benefit of our more ig norunt readers who don't know what a trust is we will explain. Vhen several men gets together, for instants, and buys up all the hogs there be in the country and i then boosts up the price of spare- mhs and sawsidge to such a extent that the common people haft to pay I veral times what its worth for it 1 t go without, that is called a frust. Most all trusts are hog trusts for 'hat matter because a trust alius , acts the hog when it gets half a chance. Trusts is more common in this countrv than they was several years ag" We can remember when there was no such a tiling as a trust in our midst, but that time is now only a sacred memory. Take the Stand ard Oil TriM which John Rocke feller got up for instants. John he has a corner on about all the lamp oil there is in the world, if we can believe what we hear, and charges for it whatever per gal. Even he filamed pleases Hen Wcathershv, prop. ot our general on!v store has to buv his kerosene of John We I don't know what Hen has to pav wholesale for hi oil being as that ain't none of our business, hut we jkr.ow what we. have to pav Hen for lit ' cts. per gaM which is some of e-.ir business. What i the result? The people of p.ingAil'e and vicin itty i faying about twice as much for lamp oil as the truck is worth. P.v the time John and Hen get their vrr fits lamp 01! becomes almost a jluxurv as you might sav and con lsc"p:ent!v it is cheaper to b :m taller ! candle than to burn lamp o;; Onlv I the rich can afford to burn lamp oil. 'as it we-e. Taller candles don't give quite as much light a lamp oil does, but they give an all tiled sight more l:ght for the money. Hen could 'ell more lamp oil if it wasn't f"r ue oil tn:t. Hen might prohablv V! a bar! of lamp oil in a year if he pnre wafi within reach of all, b- t as -,t i. he has ha-! a barl on hand fi-r three years and it' half ful' it vet. W? are nt afeard to come right out aTd dno-jr,ce trusts in this man ner 't ha always beer, the policy cf the Eule to cfencusce tAYthinf1 JT U W 1" O 1ST IV H "W" that is detrimental to the commu nitty, cspeshially when wc don't own no stock in the trusts and have no other valid reasons for not de nouncing them. We understand that the Standard Oil Trust has paid large sums of money to the editors of certain newspapers to have them keep their mouths shet and not say anything against the trusts. As for us, we have never received any such proposition from Rocke feller, although w go to the P. O every day regular for our mail. Of course if we should get such proposition we would .consider it conscientiously. What do we care if this editorial does injure the business of the trusts in this country? We reply, "Nothing!" On the contrary we hope it will in jure them. We hope that when the big trust magnates read these lines they will cringe in their boots and that their conscience will pain them so that they will re solve in their little shrunk-up hearts to reform and lead better lives. We believe in free speech, free press and free lunch, but we don't believe in free advertising, nor free sample copies nor trusts. Let the trusts beware of us ! Local Items Hez Andrews, while etittine hay with a scythe in hi hayfielri bark of his house tother day, axidrntallv almost stepped on a black snake seven feet long. This so unnerved Hez that he dropped the sc the and made for home, and is o weak in the legs that he am t been able to cut any hay since. Hen Weatl.ersby, prop, of our general store, says that trade is very dull with him at preset. t. But Hen s.ivs he don't rare much hing as he like? to take it easy during Me hot summer weather and don t like tr be annoyed by having to wait on customers When a person goes into the store to purchase anything they usually find Hen asleep on some bolt of muslin on the counter Hen says if folks don't stop wakitip bin up he's going to loc'-c the door on 'em. Our cor: espondent from Calamity Corners who signs hiself "Fro Bono Publico" in the Bugle paid us a lengthy rail last Tuesday. "Pro Bono" says that every! ting at the Corners is in stato quo a you might say. Jed Pete', our intelligent school tea rher who t-ached the village srhon last winter, is s' present studying up to take the teacher;' examination at the Co seat next monti and if he passe successful there is no doubt Jed will be re elected to -each again the riming term. Jed it a kood writer and reader and speller an-i he ain't so slow at ntr.ires either. Hoke Smi'ey is thinking some of bar ing liable -.ing rods put onto bis barn j to avoid ' aving it struck by lightening dunng th nder showers.

Personal Tbe weather in Birgville at present it very ot and Yusinest it almost at a tandsti 1, as yea might say especially in t-e heat of the day Day before yesterday we walked down to the P.

Letitia returnefl home in disgust. The Bingrville church stiil looks some thing awful in one spot right over the Amen corner. Last Sunday it rained during services and Deacon Butter worth, who was asleep, got so wet be fore he woke up that lie had to .go home and change his clothing, thus missing the latter porshion of the ser mon as well as the first porshion. Brad Hinsley's brood mare was seized with the colhck the other night and Brad went and got Doc Livermore and told him that Alvira was sick and Doc he hurried home with Brad and was surprised to find the mare, sick instead of Brad's wife. Doc never knowed that the mare's name was Alvira. Arioch Tucker lias took off his boots and is going in his bare feet. This may be comfortable, but how does it look for a growed up man to go around in his bare feet? Mrs. Bill Hepburn, wife of our tal ented and' arti.stick blacksmith, g.u e birth to a bouncing baby boy last wee.k and announces that she is goiiiK to raise him on the bottle. Editorially speaking we do not think this is a good plan. Bill Hepburn hisself was raised largely on the bottle, and look at him! Bill ain't missed going to the Co. seat and coming home full every Satterday for the past 15 years as regular as Satter day comes around unless it was be cause of circumstances not under his control. If we was Mrs. Hepburn we wouldn't raise that child on the bottle. The chances is it will; take to the bot tle soon as it is old ert'ough without be ing teached. It will probably come by its appetite for a bottle honestly. Trampsd Up by a Cow Wat Osgood had a curious expon ents last week. Wat has four cows which he milks reglar twice a d.v.-. Well, the other ev'g Wat' went out to milk and he had milked three of the cows leaving old Brsndle until the last being as she is such an ornery rriu-r and usually kicks the bucket over, While Wat was milking her sbe histrd and come down with her foot right on Wat's foot and kept it there and him holler ing and yelling for help as loud as lie could holler and pounding her with hi fists and tryiug to push her often him, but Wat says she merely stood there with almost superhuman intelligence, as it were, on his foot peacefully chewing her cud and switching off the flies. As old Brindle weighs probably 900 lbs. Wat's feelings can better be imagined than described. After she had stood on his foot for two or three minnits she eot off and Wat limped to the house. He now says he is going to sell that cow and if he can't do that he will give her away. Ben Hot Under Collar Ben W'ade of Snake Bend called at the Bugle office recently to inquire why last week's Bugle did not reach him. Ben was purty hot under the collar and talked in a loud tone of voice that all the neighbors heard and said that when he subscribed for a paper he ex pected to receive it regular, or words to that effeckt. We to d Ben thot we did not know the reason why his Bugle didn't reach him unless it was lost some where in trantmishion. We tried to impress on him that after we Imd folded and put a wrapper on his Bugle and then wrote hi name on the wrap per in a plain hand we had d:d cur duty and angeli could do no more a"d if the Bugle failed to reach, him after that ther. it wain't our fault. We alsi told Ben that we didn't knew the rea ton why since he has been regu'ar subscriber for the Begie for the pat ll yeart h had never paid us a red cent ither and lie went aray threat -eckg to stop his paper. Very well, let M EXMUREDhOMErw;TH RA : INSTEAD Or R.R A Pi ,,cr eCf. AND' K ri E. W E. O THE -MAR him stop it. If he doej we may have something further to ay about his past in later copies of the Bugle, Country Correspondence SLAB CITY. Mrs. Jemima Pepperi of Hickory Corners spent two days last week vis iting Mrs. Phebe Hinds of this place. Jemima would of remained longer, but the two wimmen had a falling out about something, and Jemima went home much to her own disgust and to Phebe's relief. Jaspar Tarbell had his hay all cut two weeks ago, but owing to so much wet weather it ain't all dried out yet and still lies in the field. Jasp says that if the sun don't shine out pretty soon he calkilatc3 the hay will rot and be useless. Aiioch Wilkins killed a beef critter last week and peddled it out from house to house. It is quite a luxury to get beef in the summer time. Hester Jones who was widdered aome years ago had some new clothes made, and it is rumored she will be married soon. We don't blame her. It is no idle joke being a widder. Jabe Hotnans who lives near here arrived home late tother ev'g and see ing what he thought was a cat on the front piazzer kicked it off, but it wasn't a cat it was a skunk, and since then Jabe and his folks can't scair.sejy liye in tneir house. VOX POPULI. HAPPY VALLEY. One of Hame Wilson's yoke of oxes broke into his orchard last week and ct green apples until it foundered and nearly died, llnmt says this ought to teach that ox a lesson to pause in eat ing green apples when it has had enough. Benj. Ciibbs ground his axe last week. Benj. savs it has needed grinding for the last two years, but he has been so driv up with work that he couldn't find tune before to do it before. Miss Mary Ann Green, the bell of Happy Valley, come out last Sunday in a new lawn dress that became her very much, exciting the admiration of all our voung men. Fine feathers make fine birds. EXCELSIOR. LAND'S END. Bill Henshaw swopped horses with Sam Wilkins last week. Both men claim they was cheated. Kufe Atkins has been offered a lucrative posishion at Hardscrabble as assistant in a livery stable there at $3 per week Rufe has not decided whether he will arrepr it or not. Mrs. lien Jordan while making soft snap last week had the kettle to upset spil'mg all the soap on the ground. Shortly after it rained and the yard was full of suds. ,cws items is very scarce in our midst at present. W e hope to have more to send in by next week LUCIFER. Hod Digging His Well Hod Slocomb has resumed digging his well again after a lapse of a year. Hod left off wrrk on it about a year ago this month, and owing to otWcr im portant work has not touched it since. It has been five ycari since Hod be-gin to dig this well and a person would nacherly think Hod euH have it fin- iVd by this time.
