The Bingville Bugle editor laments a failed week to craft a timely editorial. Personal misfortunes and a series of errands leave the writer unable to compose, with head pain and a rough week delaying publication and diminishing editorial momentum.
The Bingville crowd packed the square for a circus arrival from the county seat. A seven-wagon caravan, 18 horses, and a clown thrilled locals with a single-ring show at Cy Hoskins lot. Deacon Butterworth’s fall and Snide Petersby’s mishap with an elephant provided comic highlights as Hank Dewberry chased photos and a Sarcashan Girl sparked a wallet loss, while mosquitoes drove villagers to smoky remedies overnight.
Weather slips into a light rain to ease dusty Bingville roads. Bige Barker reports potato tops eaten by bugs after vines sprouted, plans to try Paris green. Miss Milly Underwood bought white canvas shoes, wore them to church, stepped into a mud puddle and ruined them. Lime Peterson found a dead rat in his well, notes strange tasting water. Hez Underwood misfired an axe into a stone, axe ruined. Few subscriptions to the Bugle, not much else to report.
The Bugle notes no Lokal Items this week explaining a lack of topics. Writers promise to print a full column of Lokal items next week and request subscribers to submit any Lokal items they think of.
In Bingville and surrounding areas mosquitos loom as a pest and nuisance. Residents without window screens fear the insects, choosing to keep windows closed to avoid bites. Bige Barker, lacking screens, opened a window for air then closed it before bed, a cautionary tale from the town.
Bud Hinckley, described as not quite right, sets up a makeshift barber shop in the woodshed using his mother’s shears a teacup and maple syrup. He trims none and ends up pinching his ear pouring syrup on his head then is bathed and rinsed by his mother causing a shouted scene in Bingville.
Bingville shopkeeper Hen Weathersby advertises a large stock of mosquito screens at very low prices. Customers are invited to inspect and purchase or create their own screens for winders, with assurances of no pressure to buy and cheerful service.
