Some kind of a show was put
on at the city hall several nights
last week. They were asked if
we could say anything in the pa

anything it is only natural to pre-

mentioning at least, that is the
verdict of many who attended.

VOLUME I, NUMBER /.

This issue of the Hayti Herald
is Volume 1, Number /, which
indicates that this is the first is.
sue of the fourth year in the life
of the paper.
In beginning this fourth year
we have neither apologies to
make for the past nor promises
for the future. In the future as
in the past, we Will do our best.
Whether the paper has been
as good as it should be in the
past does not matter now. 1t
has always been better than its
support justified, and. as we
hope to improve the paper in the
future, we hope we can say at
the end of another year that our
support at least merits the pa
per.
At most, the paper can be but
little better than its patronage
will make it, for the reason that
it must live within its income,
and it is pretty hard for the pub,
Usher to have to stint his family
and deny them the pleasures
of life, while spending it all on Il
paper to boost the town and com
munity that shows no Substan-
tial appreciation.
Our course and our policy will
be the same in the future as in
the passive see no reason for Il
change. We have nothing to
take back nor to deny, and no
amends to make.
The principal drawback in
running a newspaper in Hayti is
the lack of persistent advertise
ing, which is not only the
life of the business of every good
town, but the life of every inSti-
tuition of public nature.
We have no complaint against
our subscription list-the gen.
cral public is with us and has
been all the time, but SubScrip
tionS, alone, form a very smal
part of the patronage necessary
to support newspaper.
A newspaper must look to the
/ business interests of the tOWr
for its substantial support. and
whenever the business interest,
of a town fail to give the paper
the necessary support its gener
al makeup very clearly and very
readily portrays that fact.
Give us the business neccS
sary to support the kind of pa
per you actually want, and We
will make it just a little better.
