EDITOR KILLS MAYOR.

On the 18th, at Morehouse, the editor
of the Morehouse Hustler, shot and
killed the mayor of the city, DR.. l.. w.
Hart, shooting him four times.
The cause of the killingis said to he
i'll feeling engendered about three
years ago, by an article published at
that time, as result of which the men
mad an encounter. The old feeling
was renewed at the present city cleo
ton when the editor allowed a citizen
to write letter to the paper, CRITICS
ing Doctor Hart, and when the men
met Tuesday, few words were passed,
and the editor fired the fatal shots.
He Immediately surrendered and was
placed in jail at New Madrid.
This is another illustration of car
rying things too far in print, and
allowing people to vent their spleen
through the columns of paper.

HARMONY.

The time has once more arrived, in
the history of Hayti, when the need of
harmony is fet
There are some things just ahead of
US which mean much for the town,
and unless we get together and work
together, and remain in harmony for
the things that will benefit us most,
we cannot expect to accomplish them.
1t is very well for us to oppose
oneanother in religion, politics, public
questions and policies and in elections,
but each man deserves and should
have the right to his opinion, and no
i'll will should be occasioned.
But in matters for the progress of
the city of Hayti and community, the
people should he one; there should be
no friend and no foe and no old sores,
old g,udges or old likes and dislikes.
In fact, it is wrong to hold malice
and wrong to seek revenge, and a
man who cannot rise above this, is in
sad plight.
We should forget and forgive, and
because man has been wrong once,
not close the door against him to get
right. SO let every citizen of Hayti
join in the fight for "a better and great
er town, and whenever there is chance
to do good do it, regardless of who
is benefited, for what benefits the
town must be shared by every citizen,

THOMAS |. BROOKS.

In the proper column, Thomas |.
Brooks announces himself as "a con-
didate for collector of the revenues
for Pemiscot county.
We have known Tom for several
years, and are glad to say that he is
one of the county's best citizens, and
since arriving at the age of maturity
has proven himself ii careful and sue
cessful business man. He is a mem
ber of one of our pioneer families, be-
ing the son of w. g. (Billie) Brooks,
and the grandson of Bailey Brooks.
Mr.. Brooks is pretty we'll known
throughout the county, and being well
qualified to fill the Office will no doubt
make a strong race, and if elected, nc
one will have a right to complain, as
the affairs of the county will be in
safe hands.

TO DRY ALFALFA.

H. B. Mcclure, of the department of
agriculture, has been here several
days, completing the alfalfa drying
plant on the Alfalfa Farm. AS we
have been very busy for some time,
we have failed to give this project the
attention it deserved, and for that
reason we are not in possession Oft
full particulars, but Mr.. Mcclure
promised US last year that when the
plant was finally placed in operation
he would give us full particulars.
The drying is to be done by artificial
heat, conveyed through pipes, and
many tests and experiments are to be
made. 1t seems that the plan is prac-
teal, and if so, the handling of alfalfa
will be revolutionized and the crop
will be more profitable.

has Pemiscot county ever done to the
other counties of Southeast Missouri
that they continually want to fling
their slurs this way? OF course they
generally get brickbat between the
eyes every time they do it, but as soon
as they are sufficiently recovered they
are at it again. Now, under the laws
of the State or Missouri, the people
of Pemiscot county have right to
hold local option election, if they
so desire, and it is no body's business
but their own.
