The Story Of Violin That Was
Wrecked in Fire.

After the Lucky Baldwin theater
and hotel fire in San Francisco years
ago there were nine feet of water in
the basement. where the instruments
of the orchestra were stored. When a
little of it had been pumped out, Au-
gust HinrichS, leader of the orchestra
hired man to swim in and get out his
famous Amati violin

all appearance the thing was smashed
beyond recall.
Nevertheless, Herman Muller, a

loved the old fiddle, took it in hand

the bits of wood bound to it until they

Once more he put the bits of wood

he patiently vanished and polished
the more than 200-year-old fiddle until
it shone. Then Hinrichs once more

THAT MAGAZINE PROPOSITION.

All you folks who disregarded our
advise and our exposure of certain
magazine proposition and write up of
Pemiscot county a few months ago,
have doubtless learned ere this that
we were right and have had occasion
to reflect that instead of being Il but-in-
ster, the Hayti Herald was wiser than
they knew.
OF course very few took our advise,
and instead of thanking US for it, we
were round)y ccnSured by some. But
it mattered not to us. We had "A duty
to the public to perform, and only
waited for time to prove that we were
right, which Old Father Time never
fails to do.
But the thing is even more COM
plete failure than we thought it would
be, and the thing will likely not be
published at all. We do not know
how many people will lose money on
only one merchant in Hayti paid out
any money, about $l3. But nearly
all who went into the scheme will lose
their photographs, unless they pay the
engraving house for the engravings.
The engraving house is now writing
to as many as they can learn their
names, wanting them to pay for these
engravings, proposing to cut about
one-third off the price, but in fact the
price they name is the regular retail
price. The reason for this is that the
promoter placed his order for the en-
craving to be done, and could not or
would not pay for it, and the en-
gravers have the work left on their
hands, and of course want the
people to pay for it.
1t seems that the promoter was try
ing to do everything on wind, even
to the printing of the magazine, but it
has not worked successfully.
We are sorry for those who must
lose their photographs, and we hope
this will serve as a warning to who
who take hold of things without "a
substantial guarantee.
1t will generally be found to pay to
consult your home printer on printing
and advertising matters, and take his
advise. He can print anything there
is to print, advertise anything there is
to advertise, and he will treat you
right every day in the year.

HAYTI TAKE NOTICE.
The Steele News says:

The Steele News says:
THE town marshal has notified
many of our citizens to see that their
back yards and closets are put in
proper sanitary condition. This is "a
marshal should see to it that his or
derS are promptly enforced.
Is the city of Hayti going to let the
little town of Steele, as we'll as every
other town and city near Us go ahead
doing things, while we sit back with
folded arms st w-a-i-t-i- -n-g?
What the duce are we waiting for
Old Gabriel to blow his horn? 1t
looks that way.
There is more sickness in the town
and country now than ever known, but
little or no effort has been made to
clean up the town and put it in IL
healty condition.
Now, We are getting tired talking
about this matter. Our city officials
were elected to look after the best in
terests of the people, and they certainly
should do SO.
1t is IA part of every live newspaper 5
business to discuss public affairs, and
while we regret anything in the form
of criticism, we certainly are going to
perform our duty to the public, regard
less of friend or foe.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1909-08-19

Our city ordinances need revising.
AS they are now there is much room
for misunderstanding and mistakes.
The latest matter to cause confusion
was the show license. Following the
ordinances to the letter, any show un-
der tent or canvas would have to pay
go IA day, but that is more than any
small show can pay, and has caused
the ordinance to be disregarded. OF
course certain classes of shows ought
to be prohibited, but the ordinances
should be made plain, and enforced
to the letter.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1909-08-19

Nowadays when people want any
thing they look in the newspapers to
find where to get it, If they want the
services of painter, carpenter, ID
plasterer, lawyer, doctor, or any
special line of goods, they expect to
find what they want in the advertising
columns of their home paper, if they
want the best. People who do not adj
vertise do not know how much they
miss, and they certainly do miss ii
large per cent of the best and most
intelligent trade-the class that reads
and keeps posted Judicious adver-
tising bays.

JUDGE Weddings Reunion.

The reunion OF Judge r. r. We'd
ding's pupils at Sulphur Springs last
Saturday was "a most pleasant affair
There was a large crowd(over 600
people) present and the occasion was
highly enjoyed by all. Prof. G. G.
Christian with his class of singers
was there and they rendered splendid
music. Judge Weddings speech was
most interesting part of the pro-
gram. He rehearsed with much feel
ing the past days Of his school life,
and his talk brought forth both tedrs
and laughter from the audience as
sembled in his honor. Although the
Judge is candidate. there was moth
ing political in his remarks. There
was general commingling of old
friends and base ball game in the
afternoon. A fine dinner was served,
which brought the enjoyment Of the
occasion to its height. The many
who were present will never forget
the time, nor the genial personality OF
Judge Wedding, whose life and work
gave occasion for the meeting.
