Bradley Ellis and his son, Lorain,
the we'll known hunters and fur
trappers in the western part Of this
county, located near City Point, are
in the city today. They just closed
their hunting and trapping season
and disposed of thirty eight nice mini
skins in this city, some of them sell
ing as high as $3.50 a piece. They
report their season quite successful.
1t is because nearly all of us live
on hope, because we are mentally su!
tanned by expectations, that New
Years is always welcome. 1t is the
one day of the e7month-Christ-
mas is chiefly for children-that ap-
peals most to men and women. Much
of it's attractiveness depends, for
the multitude, on it's nominal new
ness. We are all familiar and
weary with the old. We are ever
signing for the new, which seems as
if it would bring a change of mind
and condition. New Years is not a
whit newer for it's name, as every on
who thinks for a moment is aware,
but names are potent, more potent
often than things.

The enemies of the Herald, in Hayti,
who are going around with a knife up
their sleeve, seeking to stab us from
under cover, are informed that we can
readily see through their tiimsy yelling
and feel quite sure that they will miss
their mark. This paper is open, bold,
fearless, and while we expect to treat
every one with due consideration and
respect, we are not to be cowed or
blutfed, and any attempt to side-step
us will result to the discomfort of
the parties attempting it. Better look
leetle out, boys-there's spot a under
your gills that can be turned blue.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1910-07-21

The saloon has now been operating
in Hayti for several days, and while
the crowd about the saloon may be
noticeable, is is gratifying to notice
that there is actually less drunkenness
in the town and about the depot. OF
course there has been a certain am
cunt of drinking and drunkenness, as
before, but it is confined more to its
quarters and held under more re-
straint. Before the saloon was open
ed the drinking was more scattered,
being in all parts of town, and the
trains from Charlottesville and Port
ageville made Hayti a dumping
ground for the people from all sec
tions of the country, which was very
disagreeable. 1t is easily seen that
the open, licensed saloon, under the
regulations of the law, is more prefer
able than the bootlegger, regal joint
and blind tiger.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1910-07-21

Pemiscot county is now getting
large enough and has sufficient repub-
lican population to support "a republi-
can paper, and we cannot understand
why one is not started, and if one is
to be started, we make bid for Hayti.
Three papers have never been able to
succeed in Charlottesville, but Hayti
is a good town, with bright future,
and newspaper of opposite politics
might act as stimulant to the news
paper business. The republicans of
Pemiscot county have been treated
nicely by the democratic newspapers
of the county, but as the lines become
closer between the two parties, the
party papers must become more firm
in catering to their party. So the re-
publicans need ID paper of their own.

If the editors of the Steel News
and Hayti Herald, who are in a
wrangle over the local option cleo
ton, will accept little we'll in
tended advice, we Will say TO
them, cut out your selly prattle.
You should build up, not tear
down, and you can't help but in
jury your county if you continue.
We are sure neither of YOU will be
the gamer in the end.-Sikeston
Hornet.
Guy, you are well aware of the old
fight that has been going on for years,
to impede the growth of Hayti, and to
tear her down. The Herald is in de-
Tense of Hayti, only. We wish no
one harm, but must protect our own
home town. Caruthersville has now
enlisted the largest part of the county
against us, for political purposes, to
split the democratic party, and to get
it before the people to build about a
$75, 10000 court house. See?

DO YOU MISS YOUR PAPERq

If you do not receive the Hayti Her
aid promptly, and know your sub
scription to be paid, please notify us
at once, and we will investigate the
matter. Ofcourse we make mistakes,
but we try to prevent them, and we
know that it is simply impossible for
us to miss mailing the paper to the
same subscriber two or three weeks
conscutively, yet we have had several
complaints to that effect lately,
the latest one coming from Lee w.
Rood of Charlottesville, as follows:
Charlottesville, Mo-, 7-16, 1910.

Dear Sir:- / have missed getting
the last two or three copies of
your most excellent paper and |
kindly ask if my subscription has
expired. 1t is my recollection that
| subscribed this year for it.
Please see that yet the paper,
as | enjoy reading it.
With best wishes,
Lee w. Rood.
We cannot understand why Mr..
Rood tailed to get his paper and hope i,
will not miss again. If every one
Who fails to get the paper would fol-
low Mr.. Rood's example and notify
us, we could doubtless make delivery
much more prompt and certain.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1910-07-21

We take this opportunity to inform
the people of Pemiscot county that the
editorials and writeups in the Hayti
Herald are all of strictly home pro-
duct. There is no reason that we
should accept or use matter for which
we are not responsible, or the author
ship of which we would not
care to tell.
