Hayti, Pemiscot County, Missouri

The county poor farm now has II
occupants, and on account of lack of
room, the conditions are fearful. Mr..
and Mrs. Stokley Jacobs are doing
the best they can, under the conditions,
but are compelled to mix all kinds of
patients and diseases together, in.
sanity, consumption, clean and un-
clean, and in some instances the
physicians called to see these patients
cannot stay in the room long enough
to prescribe, on account of the foul
ness. 1t seems that our county is too
good for this, and that we could we'll
afford to vote $1,000 to build a decent
building on our magnificent farm and
treat these poor unfortunates as
human. 1t is time for the people
and the county court to take action
on this matter. We are spending
thousands of dollars for other pur
poses, but at present there is not even
a regularly employed county physi-
clan.

costs just as much for our solicitor to
visit you the second time as at did the
first, which is quite burden to us.
But we need and must have the money
to pay our debts and must keep after
it. The price of the paper is SO small
that any one can pay it. There is no
need for credit. Our terms are cash.
We hope every old subscriber will be
prompt and try to help US.

MORE KIND WORDS.

With this weeks issue the Hayti

The Hayti Herald is one year old.
Oh, you kid. ~ pretty good paper the
editor has made of it. too, under the
circumstances he has labored. We
hope it will live to be thousand, +,
and then some. Hayti needs paper,
and when she learns how to holG all
che gets and hustle for more, she will
be entitled to "seat in the band

We appreciate the kind words of
our friends, and we are proud Of the
position that has been accorded our
little paper among the newspapers of
Southeast Missouri.
We are sure that the best efforts of
our life have been directed towards
making this IA paper worthy the con-
tidence and the patronage of the peo-
pie, and we know the paper has at all
times been better than its patronage
deserves.
Many of the citizens. of Hayti have
stood by us well, but there are many
who have done US harm instead OF
gOod-or tried to.
The Herald is here, however, and
will continue its battle for the best in
tereSt of the town and all the people,
no matter who is benefited by our eff
forts.

VOLUME 2, NUMBER |.

With this issue the Hayti Herald en-
ters upon its second year.
We have made our word good, and
have no apologies to make and none
to ask.
We have done our level best, and
do not see how any improvement could
be made on what we have done.
Our patronage has really been bet
than we expected to receive, but should
have been much better.
We can look about us and see where
much improvement might be done for
the paper, by greater support from
the people.
Our finances will not permit US to
make the paper better than the
patronage accorded it will justify.
The paper is an index to the patron
age it receives, and an index to the
town where it is published.
If you want to Judge a town, look
at its newspaper.
Now, having finished the first year,
what of the second year? If Hayti
has paper it must be supported.
Our friends must stand by us and must
see to it that the paper is kept alive
by liberal support.
So far as we know, we are proud of
every friend we have made, and we are
glad our enemies are such, because if
they are enemies, it is because we have
stood boldly by our post of duty and
battled for what we thought was right.
People who censure US for doing this
are not desired as friends, and their
friendship would be injurious.
The policies of the paper will be the
same in the future as in the past. We
will conduct the paper along conser-
vative lines, doing the very best we
can for our city and the people.
All we ask is the patronage and
support due your home paper.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1909-10-28

The man who will not patronize his
home paper and will not try to help il
along, is not fit subject to associate
with town people, and will never dc
the town any good. 1t is not matter
of like or dislike for the editor, bu,
for the towns good. The home paper
therefore works for everybody in the
town, even for the old croaker who goes
around making wry faces an cussing
the editor.

ticles of value from the public schools,
Mary l., Spengler. a pretty school
maam, will be placed on trial tomor-
row. The board Of education will pros

In regard to the alleged thefts, Spe-
cial Agent Watson, who investigated
Mrs. Spengler's case says:
Paintings, books, bric-a-brac and
working untensils disappeared from
schools where she was employed. In
one case Mrs. Annie Walters, 615
Washburn avenue, charged that after
a visit from Mrs. Spengler she miss
ed purse containing money. The
teacher had accompanied Mrs. Wal
ters' daughter home on learning that
the mother was i'll.
Mrs. Spengler is under bond on a
charge of taking money from Miss
Elizabeth Dwyer, whose brother lives
at 1926 Belmont avenue. Other charges
are being investigated.

school, says that when Mrs. Spengler
was a teacher under his charge COM
plants were made repeatedly that ar
ticles were missing.

bundles Mrs. Spengler was in the
habit of taking from the school, said
Mr.. Allison. Il found twenty-six
pairs of scissors. After several days
1 told Mrs. Spengler the scissors must

SOUR STOMACH
Is An Almost Certain Sign of Acute
Indigestion.

If you occasionally have a taste of
sour food in your mouth, it surely
shows that the food you are eating is
not being digested, but instead, is
fermenting and giving out poisonous
gases.
Belehing of gas is a common symp-
tom at such times, and also that lump
of lead feeling, as if your stomach
was carrying a much greater load
than 1t could stand.
If you want prompt relief and per.
manent cure, go to Hays & Field and
get large tin box of Mona tablets
for so cents.
Hays & Field know that Mona is
highly recommended scientific rem.
edy, and that is why they are ready
to return your money If it fails to
cure acid STOMACH, belching of gas,
dizziness, billiousness, sick headache,
foul breath and all stomach troubles.

The hunting season is drawing to "A
close, having only the remaing days
of February to its credit, and Hatties-
burg sportsmen are making almost
daily trips into the fields and forests.
While the real sport of hunting is
now at it's best, because of the great
er difficulty encountered in finding
the birds at close range, there is no
such thing as bagging any large num-
Der of birds in a single day. The
coveys are badly thinned out all over
the state except in few counties
where the supervisors have entirely
stopped hunting for season or two.

HUNTING SEASON IS
DRAWING TO n CLOSE

The state law fixes certain rather
stringent regulations, including the
limiting of the season for hunting
quail to the four months between
November and March 1, and then
gives the board of supervisors in each
county the power to impose further
restrictions, to the extent of even pro-
hibiting hunting altogether at it's dis
erection. Some of the counties have
gone the limit and entirely shut of the
sport from one to three years, while
others have drawn in the limit. Mos
of them, however, have been content
to let the general state law stand
without further structures.

Good "Old Miss"

Occasionally a good man grows
dissatisfied with Mississippi. The
milk is too yellow or the honey
too sweet. and he doesn't like
them to flow over his land any
way. So he parts with his farm,
sells his livestock and other
things too numerous to mention,
and moves to Oklahoma. Then
he takes his good Mississippi
money and buys a farm, which
today is and tomorrow is not,
because the wind has blown it
away. Or he tries Colorado and
slushes around in the mud irri-
eating a strip of bottom so mar
row that a COW can't jump over
into the field because she Jumps
over it. Then he hears of Texas
and goes down to hunt the bag
of gold at the end of the rainbow
In the day time he scratches
sandburrs out of his horses flesh
and at night centipedes crawl ov-
er his face. When his money is
all gone he begins to feel like he
did when he stayed away from
home. He yeafns for good old
Mississippi, and the yearn sticks
in throat and chokes him until
tears comes to his eyes. He would
give a months work TO see the
cows standing at the bars on the
old Mississippi farm, and hear
the horn blow for dinner. Mem
DRY is a marvellous painter, and
paints the things we love best.

Gated that t hey would have
to be convinced of the practical

before their endorsement could
be secured for the fourteen foot

ment that the great river furn-
ishes many commercial advanta-

the commercial world. This is
especially true during the season
of the year when the greatest

Oil Lake In Gulf Of Mexico.

Reports from ship captains en-
tering this port tell of a great
and growing lake out in the gulf
which is evidently fed from the
oil deposits feeding the oil fields
of Texas. While it is known this
oil lake, situated about 160 miles
southeast of Galveston, has exist
ed for several years. it is only re-
emily that it has begun to spread
out and is now reported to be
more than ore mile in diameter.
while another ship captain said
the SUI face of the water was COW
cred with bubbling oil as far as
their eyes could see. The latest
report says the Galveston Tribune
is from Capt. Netterton Of the
British steamship Comedian, just
in from Liverpool. He reports
the oil bubbling from three dis
tinct jets in the gulf and says
the oil deposit is thickening and
spreading at a rapid rate. At
this point the gulf is 5,400 feet,
or oyer a mile deep, and a tre-
mendous pressure is required to
force this heavy oil through this
body for over a mile and then
shoot it out in three streams.
A survey Of the chart of the
gulf and the oil fields shows that
the lake in the gulf is in a direct
line with the strata of oil from
which the East Texas fields are
supplied.
Whether the recent hurricane
ploughing through the gulf, has
punctured the oil strata, or
whether the release of this i'm
mense quantity of oil is due to q
subteranean earthquake or dis.
ruption is not known. Some ex.
perts incline to the opinion thai
a terrific explosion in the bed O.
the gulf is responsible for this
tapping of the oil in the bowels
of the earth.

SP-AKER CANNON
TO BE RETIRED

Afeature of the Waterways
trip down the river was the tao.
id agreement among certain
members of the Republican par.
ty to retire Speaker of the Nat.
ional House of Representatives,
Joseph G. Cannon. Whether a
fight will be made on Mr.. Can
non in the election of next year
in his district, or in the House OF
Representatives, after he is elect
ei to succeed himself was not
given cut. This is a matter to
be determined within the next
few months.
The opponets of the Speaker,
it is announced, will have the CO.
operation of President Taft in
their efforts to elect a man who
favors progressive legislation.
Mr.. Cannon has succeeded in di-
recting legislation solely in the
interest of the manufacturers of
the country and during the fight
for a revision Of the tariff it was
through his influence during the
last session that the House was
made to swallow the Payne Al
drich tariff bill.
The revisionists resent the
part taken by the Speaker and
are looking for a man more in
accord with their views to sue
coed him. The South generally
favors a change in the Speaker
ship.
MI Cannon's position and
views are at all times .inimicabfe
to the best interests Of its people
and failing to secure a speaker
from it's own parts, a revisi0nists
would be more acceptable to a.
great majority of democrats than
the Iresent speaker.
