We have it and there is no reason why we should not all be at least as happy as we can. We wish every one of our readers a merry Christmas, likewise all your friends and neighbors. ’Tis the season of “good wjll to all men.” Good cheer* is everywhere and he must be a peculiar person who does not feel this spirit. Sometimes this old world seems blue, then again it takes on the rosy hue that makes us all glad to be a part of it. Every man has his work to do—his end of the game to play—and the combined efforts of us all help to make this community, a part of this great state. Old Father Time will soon chalk up another year. May it be a happy one for you. In the meantime, let’s enjoy Christmas Day and make others enjoy it. Let’s forget for a day or two at least the vexations and the worries and tonight look for old Santa as we did in the days of youth. Then shall we and the rest of the family be happy. LETTER FROM DR.

SOCIETY DulNu I Flohrul de Purin Club Girls Hang Up Their Stockings in the I ' HOME OF HOSTESS I . MM I "Christian Ladies Elect New , Officers—Christmas Family Reunions. I To the Christ Child. But where Thou dwellest, Lord, No other thought should be; Once duly welcomed and adored, How should I part with Thee? Bethlehem must lose Thee soon, but Thou wilt grace The single heart to be Thy pure abid-ing-place. —John Keble. / ( Christmas with all its fun. the hanging of stockings and the coming of a real live Santa Claus to fill them, was ■ a very realistic thing for the girls of [ the Flohrul de Purin club who had a slumber party at the home of Miss * Flora Fledderjohann last night. DurI ing the evening the girls toasted mashmallows.sang and played flinch. 1 When bedtime came, there was nothJ ing but a row of “little” stockings > hanging at the fire-place, as evidence ( of the club’s presence, except smothered giggles from the bedrooms, now ’ and then from delighted girls to whom 1 sleep cam® with reluctance. Mrs. i William H. Fledderjohann had been ■ pressed into service by the girls to put their gifts, which they exchange at Christmas time —into the stockings after they had gone to bed, but Mrs. Fledderjohann sprung a little surprise on them also, by dressing in Santa Claus’ costume and popping into their rooms, after they had retired for the prised, and ul first at the unexpected apparition—the dream of their childhood days—which now seemed to be coming true again. After but an hour and a ball’s bleep, the girls arose nt 4 o’clock and began a “progressive eat.” They began with refreshments at the Fledderjohann home, going from there to the home of Grace Purdy, where another course was added to the breakfast, thence to’the homes of Huldah Loser, Dessie Mann and Inez Coverdale, where the "eats” were continued. The club, needless to say. had a jolly time. A happy birthday surprise was that given at the John Harvey home south of the city for their son. Raymond, in honor of his nineteenth birthday anniversary. Games, music And refreshments constituted the order of entertainment. A good time was reported by those present, who were: Mr. and Mrs. Will Meschberger, Laura, Aurilla, Frank, Carl and Edgar Moschberger, James Hoffman, Perry Smith, Tom Coppock, Rolla Coppock, Floyd Shoaf.
