THE HAYTI HERALD VOL. I. HAYTI, MISSOURI, THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1909. NO. 28. THE CITY COUNCIL. 10 YEARS IN THE PEN. DR. F. A. MAYES. On nccount of tho absence of Henry The trial of Albert Little at Curuth woricu, one oi tno lioara oi Aiuermeii, ersviiie last week resulted in a con- breaking a quorum, tbe city council vlction and ten years in th pen. In pULS filling an unexpired term, Dr. I hud no meeting Monday night, and speaking of the cuse the Twlco-u-Week the new officers could not be installed Democrat says: until Tuesday night. "A large number of witnesses were Before instnlling the new oillceis examined by both sides, and e very 'i. ,!,. ;, i. i,i i i..i inch of the ground was stubbornly con- 1 uesday night the old board cleared test,d lhc Sefenuo belnff handled by up all their unfinished buaineBB except Ward & Collins, and Rice A.

Many bill'8 were allowed, and the oi Jinance creating the ofllce of asses sor was pasBed. The resignation of Henry Dortch, the only alderman holding over, was tendered but not accepted by the old board, as that would have broken the quorum and the new board could not be installed, so his resignation came before the new board at its meeting Wendesday night, was accepted and the election ordered to fill the .vacancy. This requires a speciul election to bo held in Ward No. 2, and in view of the annoyance and expense it will oc casion, is rather unfortunate at this time. As we are setting this in type on Wednesday, we cannot give the pro ceedings of the ill st meeting of the new board at is UrBt meeting, lust night, but will do so next week. THE PUBLIC SQUARE. The fencing for the public bquare is on the ground, and the work of pitting it up will begin at once.

It is said that the speeches of Ward and Gossom were especially brilliant, Gossom driving his argument home with telling effect; in fact, it is said to have been one of the best efforts ever heard in the Caruthersville court room. Taking into consideration the fact that Judge Gossom fought this case single handed, and against some of the best talent practicing at the Ca ruthersville bar, it seems that the Judge is not only making his but is making good. It will be remembered that Albert Little shot and killed Ed Langdon in a saloon at Caruthersville, Match 2, 15)08. In retiring from tho office of Mayor of the City of Hayti, of whirl: office he A. Mayes did so with clean hands, and whatever of censure and blame it may have been his lot to bear for what he may or may not htivi done, the Doc tor has done so patiently, knowing that he was making the best he could of the opportunities as they presented themselves. Dr. Mayes was handicapped in many ways, and only towards the closing days of his administration, when too late for the accomplisrnentof much good, matters shoped themselves more favorably, vacancies on the board be ing filled by such men as L. L. Lefler and Moreau Gaskins, who were favor able to a business administration. The valedictory speech of Dr. Mayes was Bhort and to the point and con veyed much cood feelini! and sound murk, nii v;(.e( ami jf hig protect against bick ering, bock biting anil factionalism, could be adhered to by the people, the town would be better off and the people more satisfied and happy. mornings. By the new arrangement the mail is distributed in time for la boiing men to get mail before going to work. We also notice that the of fice will be open until 8 p. in., which will enable persons to get mail after work hours. These are excellent changes, and go to show that Postmaster Guliv is look- ornamental, and when the work is fin ished Huyti will have one of the hand somest public squuree in .Southeubt Missouri. The grading has helped appearances greatly, anil the $10,000 city hull in the center is beginning to be appreciated. It is to be hoped that trees will be ' planted in eveiy pait of the grounds iug out for the accommodation oi the this spring. If trees are planted now people. e w'" know that they aie there.
