to show some style.

We are informed that Jas.

rented the Crider building on
the west side of the square and
are preparing to open a garage
for the summer. Both Akers and
Stanley are pretty good repair
men, and they should be able to
fix the numerous troubles of
the automobile. They will no
doubt make their business
known within a short time.

YOU PAT AND WE PAT.

The editor is still human and
like the majority is not prone
to take little patting on the back.
Only a few words of encourage.
ment has at sometime saved
many q soul from perdition.
Likewise, many word of abuse

wanting to leave this land of

our readers have any good words
of suggestions for us they will
just try the stunt:
If you want a better paper,
just speak right out and tell US
our faults, and give us a sug.
gestion to help benefit this
paper. Words of encouragement
give the majority of human
beings an impetus to forge ahead
and accomplish that of which
without those encouraging
words could not have been done.
1t is our desire to make the
Herald better paper, and with
the support of those who want a
modern weekly newspaper, we
are going to strive to that end.

be received February 26 for the de
posit Of those parts Of the states
daily balances that were not awarded
on February when bids were re.
ceived for the safe keeping of the
daily balances for period Of four
years.
At that letting there were numer.
GUS bidders, but all bids under 3h
per cent interest were rejected by the
board Of fund commissioners.
The sums let at that bidding were
at an average rate Of 3.76 per cent.
The average rate that prevailed
for the four year period prior to that
date was 379 per cent.
The bank of Ellington was the
highest and best bidder at the pre-

noticeable feature Of the bidding
on Feb. was the absence of the big
city banks from tie competition and
the high rate offered by the country
banks.

ANNOUNCEMENTS.
GARDENING TINE.

Now that dear old Springtime
is near at hand, many housewives
are making extensive plans to
lower the high cost of living,
and they hit upon no better idea
than to raise all kinds of garden
vegetables. and such like. A
good garden and a few chickens
will almost feed an ordinary
family during the summer. But
of the above named two things,
the former is quite fond of the
latter. That's where the rub
comes in.
A person is not generally both.
cred with their own chickens,
but with those of their neighbors.
Chickens will get into your gar.
den almost in spite of the hard
work you do to mend and repair
garden fences. And those fences
should not have to be erected in
Hayti. A mans property should
be immune from the trespassing
from other people or their prop
erty. We build fences in the
majority of the cases to keep
other peoples stock and chickens
off our property. That need not
be. The fences should be built
to keep your own property at
home, and not bother the other
fellow.
Now along this line. We would
urge the Mayor and Board of
Aldermen to pass at once a
chicken ordinance, forbidding
the running at large of chickens.
Chickens are a source of much
saving, yet they can destroy
more than they are worth
Every person should have enough
interest in his neighbor so as to
not let his chickens destroy Il
neighbours garden or flowers.
Other towns such as Kennett,
Chaffee, Charlottesville, Blythe.
vile, Sikeston, and in fact. any
town that has any pride, has a
chicken ordinance and forbid
them running over other peoples
property, and why not Hayti.
Let's get out of the swaddling
clothes class and grow some.
What say you, Mr.. Mayor and
Hon. Board of Aldermen?

dot Of every French girl from the
Faubourg st. Germaine to the Boule-

norance the information Of Nannette
as to the smallness Of our fortune gave
to me an alarm.
"What will you, mademoiselle? It

Gree according to his state and for the
marquise, his sister, also. 1t was not to

America even for sending in great
sums for relief Of suffering? Have
not seen it given in the streets Of Par

make me reproaches?" And Nannette
began to weep into the fine lawn Of
her nurses handkerchief.

of q necessity to US to have the clothes,
and of course we had to travel in the
first class. Do not have distress. II

with gesture of soothing upon her
old shoulders, which I could never re-
member as not bent in an attitude OF
lowering over Pierre or me.
"Eh bien!' she answered, with per-
feet satisfaction at my assumption OF
all the responsibilities Of our three
existences.

He had been speaking Of that war

An Important Question.

Dean Russell Of the Wisconsin Agri-

Freshmen asks the following questions:
"Why do the cornfelds Of the members
Of the Wisconsin Experiment Associa-
ton run from ten to twenty bushels above
the average yield Of the state year after
year? Why 10 the average yield Of corn
in Wisconsin from SO to 40 bushels On
acre while that Of TIE entire United
