RESOLUTIONS Adopted by the County Teachers' Association. We, the teachers of Pemiscot county, assembled at Steele, wish to express our thanks to the people of the Baptist church for the use of their building. Resolved: That we express our thanks to the editor of the Steele News for his kind consid eration; that we extend our thanks to Prof. Shackleford of the Cape Girardeau Normal, and Rural School Inspector, G. V. Reavis, for their interesting and instructive talks during our meet ing and especially for their ad dresses on agriculture and teach ers' duties. Resolved: That the teachers of the county should make a close study of the course of study, and earnestly strive to put into prac tice the principles suggested therein. Resolved: That we appreciate the work of the State Reading Circle and commend the close study of the texts selected for the consideration and study of the teachers of the county. Resolved: That we express our appreciation to the county super intendent, Chas. G. Ross, and officers of the association, J. S. A CUTTING AFFRAY. A serious cutting affray occur -rd at Caruthersville Monday night, in which Lee Flemming and Albert' Dugger were serious ly cut by a negro. From all re ports, the assault of the negro was entirely uncalledfor, and that the temporary escape of the negro who did the cutting is all that averted a lynching. The negro was working on Toad Baird's place, where he was captured late in the night by Constable Watki ns, and to avoid summary vengeance was coniined in the Hayti city jail till morning, when lie was transfer ee! to the Kennett jail. It is said that Flemming is in a critical conidtion, but may re cover. Dugger was not so seriously wounded. We have been unable to learn just how the difficulty arose. Later: It is said that Mr. Flemming had been ill for some time, and being weak and tired, he and Dugger had stepped out of the side door of the barber shop to enter the saloon to get a drink, when Dugger brushed against the negro, at which the negro took offense, and began slashing the white men. Feeling against the negro is Webb, Chairman and Miss! high, and it is not too late yet for Gladys Cladwell, Secretary, for the manner in which the associ ation was conducted. Resolved: That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the county papers for publication. I Veua Smith, Committee XLicota Gill.il.axd (G.F. Petty Rev. I. Q. McCorkle left to at tend the Methodist conference at Kirkwood on Monday of last week, and returned Tuesday morning. We are glad to know that Rev. McCorkle has been re turned to this work, as he is a good and earnest man, and did much good. His second year among our people should add greatly to the resultsofhis labors. him to bo summarly dealt with. Tuesday Night: A crowd of 200 or ISOO was formed in Caruth ersville, bent on lynching the negro, and in some way obtained charge of a engine and coach, and between HO and 100 men went to Kennett, passing through Hayti a little after midnight. The news had doubtless been sent to Ken nett, and when the crowd arriv ed there the negro had been spirited away from the jail, and they returned home. LEFLER-DORRIS. Saturday evening L. L. Lefler and Miss Ada Dorrris, accompa nied by Mrs. Mollie Dorris and daughter, Miss Hettie, and Rev. J. B. S wanner, quietly auto mobiled over to Caruthersville and repaired to the home of H. E. Averill, where Rev. Swanner performed the ceremony that made Mr. Leller and Miss Dor ris man and wife. After the ceremony, they re turned to Hayti, and that night Mr. and Mrs. Leller left for St. Louis for a brief soujourn and to attend to business matters. Mr. Leller is one of Hayti's most prominent and progress ive business men, and Miss Dor ris one of our most prominent young ladies. We join with their many friends in wishing them a long and happy life. Judge E. L. Davis of Bragga docio paid this office a pleasant call Tuesday. The .Judge has just returned f'-om a trip through the Ozarks along the southern border, and reports a most enjoyable trip. There is someuung lascinaung aoouc uie Ozarks, and the Judge is in love with that country, but of course the soil there does not compare with ours, and he owns so much good lands here that he cannot afford to leave. Judge Davis promises us a good article on lands, values and resources of Pemiscot county in the near future. THREE YEARS OLD. rhree years is about as long as any paper lias ever been able to live in Hayti. On the 28th of October the Hayti Herald will be three years old, and we are nearing that goal with Hying colors and a full stom ach. During this time there have been many who thought they would put us "out of business," with about ,the same result as the small boy who tackles his lirst hornet's nest. Having safely passed the dan ger mark, it might be well to ser"e notice that Ave will stjll do business at the same old stand, and that we have a nice stock of rich, juicy obituaries ready for delivery. In a few weeks our subscrip tion collector will visit you again. Keep your dog tied and have a dollar ready. WOODLAWN CEMETERY. On Wednesday of last week a deal was closed by the city to buy Woodlawn cemetery. The deed was received from Oklahoma, and the city issued a warrant for the amount. So now the cemetery belongs to the city and those who bury there can do so knowing who is to take care of and be re sponsible for keeping up the cem etery. Until further arrange ments can be made, Mayor 1J n unit ni-mi . 11 n 4-4-S1 1 4-- -l- "k xvuuu. , rtLtc w u Thefour-year-old son of Mr. cemetery anu tnose wanting KianaMrs. Fred Portwood died $3.40 COTTON.

At the place where the killing occured the track was clear, and from the information obtainable it seems that no effort was made to avoid the accid out, if accident it might be called. The Cotton Exchange Bank is a new bank for Pemiscot county, organized at Steele last week, with Judge J. S. Gossom, pres ident: Dr. .1. W. Robbins, vice president; S. E. Redden, 2nd. vice-president, and Max L. Kel ley, cashier. The stockholders are made up among the best farmers of that part of the county, and it will be a strong bank. The organization of an institution of this kind, when that city already has a bank, would indicate that Steele is coining to the front. The new bank will occupy rooms in the Henry Stephens new brick building. Pete (Alfonso C.) LaForge of Caruthersville corrects us on the spelling of a French name. We appreciate the courtesy of Pete, and if more people would show a ''friendly spirit towards their local paper, it might be better.
