lister of the gospel, in which ca
pacity he served the Methodist
church here as pastor during the
first two years he taught at Hayti.
This imposed upon him double duty,
but he made good at both. He has,
however. decided to concentrate
his energies upon the interests of
education, finding himself peculiarly
fitted for that work. and in which
endeavor he takes more than usual
pride.
Prof. Propst is in the very primo
OF life, and by education, training
and experience is fully qualified to
fill the office he seeks with ability
and credit to all concerned. He has
never before been an office seeker
and only enters the contest now at
the numerous and earnest solicita-
tions of his many friends, who are
aware of his qualifications and who
would like to see his energy and tai
ent devoted to the improvement
and upbuilding of the whole educa
tional system of Pemiscot count,
schools.

CITY AUTHORITIES AT HOME.

Last week the city authorities
moved into their new home, the two
story brick on the southeast corner
of the Public Square, across the
street from The Missouri Herald
office. The council chamber, police
court room. and the city clerks Of
flee are all on the large ground floor
room, with entrance direct from the
street. The jail is in the rear of
this room and the fire department
occupies the room in the west side
of the building. Everything con
nected with the official affairs is un-
der one roof. and most conveniently
arranged. The new building Is a
credit to the city of Hayti and will
be adequate for our needs when we
have come to have population OF
10000. which may not be SO far in
the future as some might suppose.

FOR sUPERNTEND-
ENT OF SCHOOLS

In today's issue of The Missouri
Herald will be found the announce
ment of Prof. X. V. Propst as cam
didate for the Office of Superintend
ent of Public Schools of Pemiscot
county, subject to the wishes of the
voters in the regular school election
to be held April, next. At the out
set. it may be said that while Mr..
Propst is recognized Democrat, he
is not a politician and has no desire
to bring politics into the conduct OF
the schools in any way, shape,
form or fashion. He wishes the
people to have that assurance before
voting for him. as he considers the
interest of the schools above and be-
yond the material and commercial
considerations OF politics.
Prof. Propst was born in South
east Missouri and has grown up with
the country, so to speak. He under
stands our people. being one Of
them, and is in full sympathy with
their progress. When a mere boy
his parents died, leaving him to
make his own way early in life.
During the crop season he worked
on the farm, and in winter attended
the rural schools. After several
years OF this sort of hard work he
entered Marvin College. where he
received an elementary education,
later attending the Teachers Col
lege at Cape Girardeau. Prof. Propst
has never been idle. He is dy-
namo of energy. He sought his
education for purpose, and began
to put that purpose into practice
when about 10 years of age. as that
ID when he began teaching. and with
the exception OF about two years he
has taught continuously ever since
In 1914 he came TO Pemiscot count,
