THE HAYTI HERALD VOL. I. HAYTI, MISSOURI, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1909. . NO. 18. MAGAZINE GRAFT Tho other week we warned our peo jlo against an old yruftpr who was trying to "pull" tho citizens of Huyti for it few dollars. Rijjht In the face of this warning- people are tfohyr rlyht ahead "biting" at his scheme. 'Phis old grafter has fought awfully fihy of the Herald otllre, which allows more fully that his scheme is a gvutx of the rankest tyj e. $235,000,000 Conim'ss has just impropriated K.Vi.OOO.OOO for the expen.se or the post- ' olllce departnient for the next liseal our. and a hir per cent of this will ho used to frank government printed envelopes through the mails to 'nisiness concerns who do not patronize the homo printer. I Ij. C AvcriU was in Caruthersvillo Tuesday. 3jHPnnHtvRv' "::3IBiEwB!HIMBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB FRISCO TRAFFIC It is said that another fust merchan dise train will Minn be" put on this division, which will aiil jrieatl, to its importance. Already 'the tralllc is ver, jrrent, and as it s rapidly in ereasinj,', this new irain is a necessity. This is the shortest route by one hour and a half between St. LouisandMcm phis. The roadbid is constantly lielnj,' worked on and improved, and at pres out IK cars of silica is being-placed on the road between Osceola and Biff Creek each day. It seems the Frisco people are be coining fulls alive to the importance or thi division and intend to make it ful In up to-date ineverv respect, which means much for the towns alon;,' the line. P R ICE E NOTHING UNUSUAL ABOUT THIS I need the money to keep the wolf from my door and you need the goods to keep the wolf from your door. I arn quoting you a few items below, and beg to call your atten tion to the fact that I have to limit the list, for if I should quote prices on all my bargains the size of the Hayti Her ald would have to be increased. OWN THE DITCH. This is a winter scene on the ditch where the new dredge boat is now at work. This is the first ditch ever made in Pemiscot county and reclaimed thousands of acres of land and converted lakes into farms. The work now being done widens the ditch several feet and makes it deeper. The shovel lifts 2 1 -2 yards of earth at each stroke. Pho!o t,y lhe eh Still They Bite S. K. Missouriun: "Be careful to whom you pay mone . We recently a freed with a subscription aren't to accept subscriptions from him when accompanied by the ca.sh. lie was in no sense an afent for us and we are not responsible for his acts. He has sent us some subscriptions and cash to pay for them. But we have heard of others." Is this the Taylor who worked Hay ti for a C-ville paper and later caught the Cape Progress? On Tuesday of lust week, atLilbnurn, while trying to arrest a negro, John Hunter. Cit. Marshal Tom Woods narrowl escaped death. The negro shot at him, the ball striking the badge on his hreast which turned it, but caused a considerable bruise. The negro was also shot, three times, but not fatal 1. Jury Service Isn't there enough good men in Ca ruthersv ille to make up a jury to try a nigger, and is it necessarx to come out to Ha.ui and take men uua from their homes and their business and entail this extra expense of milage and hotel bills to secure such a jur.x? We think not. Right in our busiest time this week our main helper was summoned for jur service -there vas even talk of .summoning the editor, which would have deprived about WW people and all our advertisers of a paper this week. Lutn Leller was summoned awa from sickness in his family . Please don't bother Us people out here so mui-li. We have no saloons, no boo.e. no lights, no killings. Settle jour own affairs over there and leave us alone -leave us in peace, especially as those summoned here are "old, stand-by jurymen."
