QUEER VALUES.
Several times we have men
tioned the freaks in the assessed
valuation of Hayti nroperty, and
have shown pretty clearly that
the values were assessed too low.
No town con ever build up and
iimount to anything so long as
capitalists can buy up and hold
valuable property tit little or no
expense.
Perhaps one of the greatest
sinners against Hayti's growth
has been .1. E. Franklin, who has
held property for increase and
not for improvement: and his
price is usually prohibitive
more than any one will pay, and
as a result the lots remain vacant.
That the people may see how
Mr. Franklin does this, here is a
list of live of his lots on the
west side of the square:
Lots 7, 8, S), 11, i::. Assessed
valuation H00.
Mr. Franklin's price on these
lots is $700 for No. 7 and S1500
each for Nos. 8, 9, 11, III, or a
total for the live lots of. . !?:, 100.

Paste this in your hat.
ARIOWE RIGHT?
It is being rumored about
the city that a corporation
is to be formed here for the
purpose of taking over the
public square at Hayti and
holding it as an investment.
It is said, that if such is
done, the question of the
county seat will be settled
permanently. Caruthers

Now, if the above is not sufli

wonder that he does not sell
them?
Start out to buy a business
lot and see what the price will be.
and then look up the assessed
valuation and you will be sur
prised. The same assessed rate will
apply pretty evenly on all the
lots around the square, and it is
remarkable that the same peo
ple who own them now have
been owning them for years,
holding them for a higher price,
and persistently screwing their
price up higher and higher as
prospects for the town
become better.
Considering this, it is a little
wonder that the town has not
grown and prospered more. No
town can grow so long as vacant
property is held for the increase
in price, and the only remedy is
to assess the proper value and
collect the taxes that will losen
the grip.
While wo have taken .1. K.
Franklin for tin example, there
are still others, and lots that are
held at $(500 to $7;"0 and cannot
be bought at that are assessed
at SliiO to S2f)0, the Bank of Hay
ti paying the highest assessed
value, $1100, on a vacant lot on the
north side of the square.
These are facts and figures,
as any one can see from the
assessor's books, and it is to be
hoped thr.t a remedy can be
found.
It is an assured fact that a
town can never grow until the

The "public square" referred
to by the Argus is a public
square in the city of Hayti and is
the property of the public who
bought and paid for it.
The lirst company to attempt
to deprive the people of Hayti of
this square were active citizens
of Caruthersville, and the scheme
to deprive us of this square was
hatched in Caruthersville.
Now, the Argus says a "COR
PORATION" of Caruthersville
citizens is to be formed to for-
iind the evidence in the case, was

sory interest of this one-fourth

which is an action to recover pos
session of real property.
It is the common law, as ad
ministered in the courts of lOng
gland for years, and the courts
of Missouri, to give the husband
the right of the possession of the
land belonging to his wife at
t me of her death, where she had
children by him capable of in
heritance. This is known as an
estate by courtesy.
So. as the matter stands, the
circuit court's failure to recog
nize the one-fourth interest of
Pete Williams, leaves thesupreme
court but one alternative, unless
it finds for the city, and that is
to r everse the case, remand it
back for trial, and again, per
haps, in the absence of the com
promise, go back to supreme
court, which means seven or
eight years longer yet to await
final decision.
Now, the gentlemen over at
C iruthersville who have been
laughing up their sleeve and in
clined to poke fun at the citizens
of Hayti can have a diversion,
thinking how they are going to
get around the Pete Williams in

THE DIFFERENCE
between a dollar saved and a dollar spent is just two dol
lars. Did it ever occur to you that way?
It's worth thinking over.
Another difference is the feeling you have afterward.
The dollar saved gives you a feeling of real pleasure it
may call for a little sacrifice for the time being but after
ward you feel better for having denied yourself and the
dollar is still yours.
That is the nice thing about having money in the bank---you
have saved it it is still yours you rati have it when
you wish. We make it a part of your business to have a
bank account have an account at this bank, for it not only
helps our business but yours more so.

of the people of the county, from
ever being a candidate for the
county seat.
Is this fair? Is it just.
Then, if there are enough peo
ple of this kind in Caruthers
ville, is it not reasonable to pre
sume that war must be declared
between the two towns, and
henceforth they will be tit odds?
Think back over the past few
elections, how Hayti has in
dulged Caruthersville--how we
have voted for her candidates
and her people and how we have
elected them to high offices,
when they could not be elected
without our vote, and how our
own men have neon deleated,
and see if our overtures and
good-will litis not been spurned.

know more than thousands whose

who have made their millions by

it because they want to donate
those millions to the newspapers

cause they don't know as much
about business as tlie six tor a

spent in advertising is thrown
away or donated to the man to

simply ridiculous, and it re

patience to discuss the proposiC

His complacent seif-conceil in as

GETTING AHEAD
When an officer of this bank see a depositor making steady
gains in his balances, our confidence in him grows.
When a depositor who has won our confidence requires
money with which to develop his business our large resources
enable us to give him all the credit his financial condition
warrants.
The merchant, the builder, the farmer who does business
at this bank, receives its financial support when he needs it.
