UP TO TAXPAYERS

1t is sincerely hoped by this
paper that we will not be com
PEELED to take further action in
the courthouse bond issue con.
troversy. 1t is not the present
policy of this paper to bring up
controversies that bring out bad
feelings, but to argue the points
in question to gain the object
sought.
AS the question now stands we
believe the proposed bond issue
has been abandoned, after seeing
the strong opposition being made
by the farmers and other tax.pay
ers of the county.
We have at all times during
the short but pointedly contro.
versy tried to keep out personal
feelings, although some of our
contemporaries have seen fit to
cast reflections. Be that as it
may, we hope it is finished. We
desire it so. However, should the
necessity arise, we are as we'll
able to take care of our end of
the string as other parties.
We leave the subject now up to
the taxpayers. Unless other
unscrupulous attacks are made
upon the Herald we have closed
the argument. But remember,
when there's a boomerang
thrown out it usually returns
with full force.
We desire to thank our friends
for their united effort and en-
couragement in stan ding against
the bond issue at the present
time,

The spirit shown between sew
eral of the various candidates or
Tuesdays election was one that
foretold a new story. 1t was one
OF the most cordial feeling, where
each showed the other he was a
friend. This is to be com mended,
as election issues with a bad feel,
ing is anything but good for the
people. Every candidate we be.
lieve feels he was given a fair
show and the scales were cor.
rect. Those defeated were all
good men, and they bear no ill
will. Far from it. They were
ready Immediately after the elec.
ton to assist their opponent in
any manner. The Herald con.
graduates them for this good
feeling. 1t spells something for
Hayti and her people.

Every tailored suit must stand the
acid test Of the most discriminatine
OF all publics when it comes to the
matter Of suits. Long ago America
won pre.eminence In this regard and
not even Paris disputes 1t. Here Ia
pictured one Of the new spring models,
in which any woman will delight to
meet Easter. Even q brief glance at
1t reveals special features in its con-
struction that will appeal to women
with q fine sense Of clothes.
To begin with, 1t is made Of wool
poplin In tan (Which it is fashionable
to call sand COLOR, and 1t bespeaks
the springtime. It is trimmed with
stitched buttons and they can't be ex-
celled for impartlng finished smart
ness.
The jacket Is plain and beautifully
shaped at the front. At the back,
plaits extending from the waistllne to
hem acknowledge the sway of this
feature In spring styles.
The skirt has plaits at each side at
the back and front and loose belt
about the waist. The strap trimming
appears in the hips, and 1t Is as ef.
fective here as on the coat. The
length as shown in the picture Is cor.
rect, bringing the edge of the hem an
inch or so below the shoetops.

WE'RE FOR YOU.

Hats off for the new cit,
administration.
Gentlemen, officers.elect, the
Herald wants to be the first one
to offer you any assistance VIC
may be able to give.
The Herald cannot but say
that in you the people of Hayti
have selected well. They selected
you to serve them for certain
period, every one for term of
two years, thus showing their
confidence in each of you. We
believe you will not forget this
trust. 1t is up to you and the re
naming aldermen of the board
to select appointees that vii!
look after the best interest of
Hayti and its people.
Appointees should be selected
upon merits and a disposition to
do something for the city, not
for the money in the office. But
of course no officer is going to
work for nothing. They are
worthy of their services. Pay
them what they are worth.
Each ward of the city has a
good representative and an able
person to preside over them, and
their respective citizenship is
looking to them for an able
management of the city's affairs.
Let not your trust be forgotten.
The Herald right now offers
the new and the old mem bers of
the board and every officer it's
columns for the discussion of
any subject for the interest of
Hayti and it's citizens. We are
ready to serve you in any man
ner possible.
May our new city dads forge
ahead and do something for
aayti. We hope to be able in a
short time to say something
favorable of matters being taken.
Give US chance of saying some.
hing good,
We're for you.

The school is the heart of a dis.

Good members were elected to
serve on the school board for
three years, and we believe the
voters will not be deceived in
their selection.
Our school is one of the best
in the state, and one our people
should be proud of. Again this
year Hayti schools are safe to
forge ahead and without an in.
crease of one cent in taxes.
