HAYTI AND VICINITY IN
DECEMBER, 1871

To one who has the gift of imag-
ination and vision, it 81 great pleas
ure to forecast the future of Hayti
and vicinity for December one year
from now.
Bids are being asked for the build
ing of the Mississippi River Scenic
Highway-that part which runs
thru Hayti from the north and south
and as theese roads are nearing
completion south and on into Mem
phis by this time next year it will
be possible for anyone so inclined to
good show and be back home in time
TO get fair amount of sleep befroe
daylight. The Kennett-Caruthers-
vile road is rapidly approaching its
completion, which will mean that
Hayti will have a hard road to Ken
nett on the west, hard road to Ca
ruthersville on the East, a hard road
to St. Louis and Cairo, with cOnnec-
tions to Poplar Bluff and the west on
the north, and hard road to Mem
phis and New Orleans on the south.
With all these roads what better To-
turer, or any other person want? OF
course the completion of the roads
are dependent on transportation and
other difficulties, but they are an
assured thing and work is already
being done on them.
At this time very little money, so
it is said, is in circulation, but at
most this will not last more than Il
few weeks, and the country will take.
on new life and the wheels of pro-
gress will turn on as If cotton had
sold at 60 cents instead of nothing.
With the coming of these roads.
more people will come to this sec
tion of the country. Good farmers
are always on the lookout for better
| farms and the farms around Hayti
are as good as anyone would care
to have. With the coming of more
farmers and the opening up of more
and better farms, more people will
naturally gravitate to Hayti and the
town will grow as result. Now,
we should have and ought to be
building waterworks plant for this
city. No one wants to live In a town
that offers them no protection-oI
very little prOtection-from fires
| Our schools are first class, we have
a free and open hearted people thai
have no betters on the top side of thu
globe and they deserve and should
hav protection from fires. The new
health laws just gone into effect give
the people protection from contagious
diseases, our winters are not sever
and our land will produce anything
that will grow in dirt. With al
these good points in our favor w
should buckle on the armor and ge
down to business and make this th
best town in Southeast Missouri
has the locatiOn-but 1t needs som
; enthusiasm and backbone among it
citizens. What kind of citizen ar
you going to be this year, one o
those who get out and push thing
or one of those who sit on the from
!. seat and ride and let the other fellow
4 do the work?

the farmers ask an s hour day for

applied to farm management, for the
reason you cannot harvest crops SO
early because OF Gew etc. A farmer
has no set time to begin the days

how many hours shall constitute a

H. c. L.
JOHN BUSHNELL, of Cambridge City
has submitted the following: All this
"bosh" of The farmers which Is being
published in the Palladium relative to
daylight saving is calculated to make
one tired.
In the first place, the plan was
originated for the benefit OF city and
town people. The farmers always did
as they pleased in regard to time any
way; nine-tenths of them are now and
always have been going by the old
"suntime" so what difference would 1t
make to them whether the town folk
set their time pieces a half hour faster
or slower than "suntime"?
While the question is being discus
sed why not ask the opinions also of
the shop and store people in the towns
and cities who are really interested
and effected? They are the ones who
need the daylight saving plan. The
farmers can start work when they
please and QUIT when they please. At
least hear both sides of the question.
From a shop man who needs an
extra hour in the evening to work in
his garden. It did more for me toward
reducing the high cost Of living than
anything else.

cause of the high cost of living? No,
should say not, the farmers get just
what the markets quote, and not a
cent more.
They also have to pay what they
are asked to pay for what they buy.
They have to pay for this short labor
day in extra cost of farm implements,
etc.

people have in town. tend mine
after working all day in the field. The
farmers day Is as long as 1t ever was.
He is even producing more according
to help he gets, than he used to years
ago. 1t looks to me like that instead
of shorter hours, that longer hours in

tainly go long way towards bringing
