We made mention in the editorial collumn of our last issue regarding a proposition for a Bingville Country Coun-try Club which had been fostered, so to speak, and thrust upon our tmsuspeckting community by none other than Miss Amelia Tucker, oy,r reigning society queen, and Jed Peters, our intelligent school teacher. At the time of writing our last issue this proposition was nothin more than a scheme, and a Uf fable one, to we took our pen in hand and laffd heartily at the Country Club and then wrote a edittorial on the heat, which was at that time more imporant, and which is still pretty bad, though not so important import-ant Since that writing the proposition proposi-tion for a Bingville Country Club has growed apace as you might iv, until it ha attune '. jhions of a octopus which will, ere we wake up, gra) us in its hands and dash us to the earth pell me!!. The final culmination of the intid-ius intid-ius attackts of this Country Club element culminated last Wensdy ev'g, when a publick meeting was held in the vestry of the church to talk about it This meeting was attended by our most prominent cittizens, including in-cluding Eph Higgins, our accommodating accom-modating P. M., and wife, Cy Hos-kins Hos-kins and wife, Seth Dewberry, our lion hearted town constable, and wife. Deacon and Mra. Butter-worth, Butter-worth, Deacon and Mrs. Andrews, Ame Hillyer. our talented loryer and legal light and wife, Miss Sally Sosktns, Doe and Mrs. Livermore, e Rev. Saml Moore, our beloved pastor, and wife. Miss Amelia and Miss Mollie Tucker. Jed Peters, and some others, all well known. Miss Amelia Tucker, by vertue of her position as society leader, ' was the first to get up and tell about a Country Club. Amelia said that things around Bingville was dead, and that what Bingville needed was a place where the old folks and the young folks could git around and play games such as golluf and tenia and parcheesi, and meet each other. Seth Dewberry here ria up and asked what in tarnation was golluf an tenia, and was answered by Jed Peters, our intelligent school teacher, who said he had give both of these games considerable study, and wu prepared to speak about At all times, he said, the cittizens of Bingville could drop into Hen's store, and did as a matter of fact, and et liberally of the delishious refreshments consisting of crackers and dried fish, and played checkers and parcheesi, and who can beat checkers and parcheesi for indoor sports, he said. In view of this fackt, what use had Bingville for a Country Club, he said, and who wanted to play golluf or tenia? Then Ame sat down amid grate applause from all the men, but con-sidderable con-sidderable dissatisfacshion on the part of the women and Jed Peters. Soon after this the meeting busted up, with nothing done about the Country Club, except that Jed Peters Pet-ers had subscribed 60c tords it . Edittorially, we never heard of such a fool noshion. What need have we of a Country Club? 'Almost 'Al-most every day there is a dog fight on Main street, which is always interesting. in-teresting. There is fishing in Goot-chic, Goot-chic, and indoor sports . at Hen VVeathersby's store, as Ame Hillyer says. The seed of discontent regarding re-garding a Country Oub has been sowed, but we shall combat it with all the power of the press. ' Subscribe Sub-scribe for the Bugle. |
