Sweet spring, like you very much
You have such winning ways
And IL you had not made me hoarse
I'd gladly sing your praise.
You have a tonic In the air
That somehow stirs the blood,
But when walk about own
Your other name is mud.
But you are such g Tickle maid
hardly dare to sing
Your praises In the morn; know
Not what the night will bring.
At dawn OF day you often have
A bright and lovely phiz,
But e'er the day has taken fight
A blizzard starts to blizz.
When you're all right you are indeed
A poem and a dream.
But when you do not hit the mark
You fall in our esteem.
But naughtiness don't last with you.
Save for little while,
And we forgive 1t and forget
The moment that you smile.
So here you are, and we must own
With all your faults we find
You such q vast improvement on
The season left behind.
30 do your best or do your worst,
And We will bravely try
To bear it all because We know
Your average is SO high.

The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1912-03-28

Some objections were made tC
our remarks last week that when
money was spent for ditching it
should be along some practical
and permanent lines. We reiter-
ate it. We are asked to name
what would be permanent. Well,
that is matter to be decided up
on; but it certainly does no good
to place three or four men at
work, sllimming along on top of
the ground, in the high places
and the low places, spading out
three to six inches of dirt, which
will drift right back into the
same place the first muddy spell.
Perhaps if these open bitches
We're concreted, like they are in
New Orleans, they would be
more permanent.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1912-03-28

The Hayti Herald has the best
newspaper field of any paper in
the county, and is the best adver-
tiSing medium. There are from
four to five papers in the south
half of the county, from Caruth-
ersville down, and the full north
half of the county belongs to the
Herald. Look at the map and
see. This shows and accounts
for the phenominal success of
the Herald-the entire north
half of the county is it's field,
while the south half of the coun-
ty is divided between four to five
papers, and, as consequence,
the Hayti Herald carries about
four or five times the value of the
other papers. Advertisers, take
notice.
