S1,5OO TYPESETTER.

setting machine, to do the type

this machine, one man can do the
same amount of work that five
men would ordinarily do by hand.
The saving in buying this
machine is not in the immediate
present, but in the future. 100
is a good sum of money to pay
out, and is a serious proposition,
but the success of this paper du.
ring the past three years is suf-
ticient to guarantee its perma.
nency, and, on this account, in
a period of few months or a
few years the machine will pay
for itself and will be a net saving
and we will simply have 1,500
worth of property that we would
not otherwise have, but the same
amount of money would be spent
for the hire of printers, and we
would then be left in the same
position as now, doing our work
by hand, and instead of improv-
ing the paper, paying all our
profit to printers. The machine
will not only more than pay for
itself in actual saving, but will
enable US to produce a better
paper, because one man can do
as much in two hours on this
machine as one ordinary printer
can do in a whole day. On this
account it * easy for us to set
more type, at less expense, and
produce a better paper at less
cost of production,
On account of installing this
machine, costing 1,5OO in cool
cash, we will need several hun
dred dollars this fall, and all our
old subscribers are expected to
assist us in raising the necessary
cash.
For Hayti to have the first and
only typesetting machine in the
county is quite an honor, and
we believe our people will be glad
to assist us. OF course we are
asking no gifts, and no special
favors. We expect to earn every
dollar we receive. On the other
hand, Hayti needs and must have
a newspaper, and, since we are
here, engaged in the newspaper
business we feel that we are just
ly due the support necessary to
give Hayti a newspaper.
In the past, the Herald has
never been as good as we would
like for it to be, and we have never
been satisfied with the paper as
produced-but it has always been
as good as our support would
Justify and better. 1t is our hope,
with this machine, to produce a
newspaper far beyond what or
dinary support, by hand work,
would Justify, and if the people
have pride in their town and will
remain with us, there is no ques,
ton but what they will appreci.
ate our improvements.
Since the Herald was started
it has never ceased to grow, and
we are adding new subscribers
to our list every day. In few
years we will have one of the
best newspapers in the county
and Hayti will be one of the most
important towns,
Our third year will be up or
the last of October, and on that
date many of our subscriptions
expire. We hope that every one
will assist us in this 81 800 un
dertaEing by a prompt renewa
and that many new names vii
be added to our list. We are
working for the best interests OF
Pemiscot county, and for Hayti
and home, if nothing more, SHOULD
prompt the people to assist US il
producing IA first class paper.

J. J. Peck, a Seventh street merchant,
made plea for himself and his child
before Judge De Lacy in the Juvenile
Court today.
After giving recitation of alleged
domestic travails. in which he and his
wife and baby are the principals, Peck
sought permission of the court to al

time ago. Peck also pleaded to be re-

he says, his wife has heaped upon him.

Seven persons were killed and %

Governor Gilchrist, of Florida, was
a passenger on the northbound train,
but was uninjured.
Where the collision occurred there
is a sharp curve. 1t was at this point
Engineer Crawford, of the freight
train, caught sight of No. 105, which
was coming at high speed. He whis-
tied and slackened speed. When the
passenger did not answer he conclud-
ed that it was a train on the adjoining
Burlington tracks.
When, within a few car lengths of
each other both engineers realized the
danger and reversed their engines.
The momentum Of the passenger,
however, was so great that in a mo-
ment it was piled upon the freight
engine, which had almost stopped
The crews of both engines jumped.
The impact telescoped the mail cars
and the passenger coach, in which
