Contemptible Littleness Becoming Nausiating to the People
and Change Must be Demanded
When you monkey with the business
end of a live newHpaperyou aie liable
to get the bitter end.
The llerulil is n peai-uful p:ijnr junt
ho fur a discretion will win runt, but
we lire unnnuzled and untiainmelled.
Mist lit present the centtal opera
tor or operatois of the telephone h.vh
tem at thin place demand oui atten
tion. For a long time we have hcaid eoni
plaintH about the pool heivire ten
dered and in many iiibtaneeH gieut
annoyance, ineouveuience and !ohs
of tiiuu Iiuh been occasioned by the
glaring incompetence and cuntempti
ble insolence bometitnes displayed.
It is lor this reason, principally, that
the Herald has not yet inMailed n
phone, and from what we can leain a
gieat ileal inoie phone-, would be Uhed
it the proper servive could be hceured.
We expect to touch upon these inat
teis more fully next week, or at home
future time, but the pat tieulnrgi ieviance
we have at thih time is an occurrance
of yesterday, in which the eential at
this place icfused to permit an at
tache of the Herald olliee answer a
VERY IMPORTANT call from an at
tache of the Demoeiat ofliee at Caru
thersville, without "tilling out a
check," and as the message was rela
tive to a berious case of sickness, the
business men to whose phone the
party was culled inteiceded in hei be
half and fully explained to eential the
nature of the call, to no avail.
The attache of the Democrat has
full authority to use that phone, ami
the heartless, inhuman and undcliled
cussedness cr the Hayti operator in
denying this message t be delivcied
deberves a speedy dismissal, and we
will see to it that the telephone com
pany has no excuse foi continuing the
service of the guilty party.

Kennett Democrat: Last week the
Campbell Citizen discovered 1.400 town
hog.s and the Mime number of country
hogs, 2,800 in all, rootingup sidewalks,
gardens and lawns. The, were boring
down in the earth, and onl their tails
.stickin out. Wo had just read in the
papers that .(eft Davis had made a
speech in the Senate, predicting a
treasury deficit of $15'I,000,000 and
stating- that in a few cars this countrx
would be deluged in blood and cver -thing
go to the how wows. Then we
thought how sad it would be. if. in
addition to these woes, that during
this cold weather, all those '2.K00 hogs
should get their tails froen off level
with the ground.
(ronton Register: Francis D. Uun
der. former cashier of the St. Louis
postotlice. wasbroughtto Ironton Mon
day evening b deputv I. S. Marshal
Williams to serve six months in the
Iron eountx jail for embe..ling about
W.000 from the postal funds. The
punishment no doubt is just, but it
looks strange to an outsider that Hun
dor who is a democrat should hae to
serve six months for stealing fH,(XW)
while no one has been punished for
stealing that (!,. "00 from the St.
Louis subtreasur. Fsthisthe boasted
American justice?
The senate passed the joint resolution
which has already been passed on b,
the house to enable the state of Tenn
essee and Arkan.sUs to agree upon a
bound r. line to determine the jurisdic
tion of crime committed on the Mississ-1
ippi river and adjacent territory, j
The object of the icsolution it, to con
cede to each stale such tracts of land
of the territory of each sate as man
have before seperatci! from the main
bod, of chunges in the course orehan
nel of the Mississippi river, and also
to adjudge and settle the jurisdiction
ot the two states.
Mi. and Mrs. Claience Mayes aie
rejoicing over the arilval of a fine bo,
baby at their home Friday morning.
So many jokes are told on Clarence
that we cannot tell them all, but Len
Leller caught Claience with his head
fast in a barrel out back of the stole
and had some difficulty in releasing
him, and asking how he come to be
fast, Clarence stared at Len in a bland,
bewildered way and kept on lepeating
to himself "dad-dad-dad," which he
was evidently saying in the barrel to
hear how it sounded.
