Well what do you expect for 'Christinas? Help some poor boy or girl have a happy Christmas, it's the best kind of a celebration you can have and it's the real spirit of the season. It's too late to do your shopping early but there is the pleasure of the final rush, which many people really enjoy more than any other part of the Christmas festivities. There are still plenty of gifts in every line and the next few days will close the best season of Christmas shopping ever known in Decatur. As the New Year approaches there are several resolutions that you ought to make and stick to and one of them is that you will forget your personal gr.dvances and help make this a better city in which to live. \\’e have the opportunity now if we don't fo<d it away trying to get even with some one wo have imagined lias wronged us or stepped in our way.

r lights, a couple of hundred new homes and as many old oues made pt modern, a big year of business and a lot of other things that Bliould sat--0 iufy the most ambitious citizen. This is the time to do things and every nt one should want to do their share.’ ry . The senate voted to turn the railroads back to the owners and then went home. Well that's something ftl and if It sticks will help some to re[g store the old order of business. fO There are some indications that the 'b job holders at Washington huve 'F heard from their districts and that c a compromise all around that will dispose of the peace treaty, the E league of nations, the railroad question and other "left overs of the war" may soon be disposed of and 1 we can get down to real business. Wouldn’t it be fine? When Dailey and Eichhorn git into action in January in the prosecut i tion of Senator Newberry for election frauds, they will stack up against , some of the big lawyers of the Unit- < 1 ed States. The two Bluffton men may ' be termed country lawyers and the legal lights trom New Y'ork, Detroit , or Chicago, who will oppose them | may imagine that they will find the goiug easy. Bat a country lawyer who knows the rules of practice and 1 knows bow to get a statement of i facts from a witness and how to as- 1 Semble the facts need have no fear of 1 a "Philadelphia lawyer” or a lawyer ‘ from any other city in the land.— } Columbia City Post. Two hundred and forty-nine anarchists who have been devoting their time to efforts to destroy the [ government, sailed from New Y'ork f yesterday, oil the army transport—. Buford, for some unknown port, far enough away that they will probably not return. They are banished from America, a punishment that for those who love our flag, is the most severe. With them were the two lenderj3, Berkman and Emma Goldman who led the singing of "Long live Ihe revolution in America" as Uie boat left. If Berger and a few others are now given a similar treatment, we will get somewhere with the settlement of affairs. If this country doesn't suit you, the thing to do is to get out of it. AN UNUSUAL OPERATION An operation was performed on ' Clarence Linker, of Jefferson township, last week, at the Lutheran hospital in Fort Wayne for relief frrm tuberculosis of the spine. The young man has been an invalid for several months and the operation was regarded necessary to save his life. He rallied nicely from the anaesthetics and his mother Mrs. Sophia Linker, and many friends are now hopeful that he may ultimately recover. The operation was one of the rare cases underla ken in modern surgery, the diseased bone in spinal column being removed and a section of lire bone, eight j inches long and one-half inches wide taken from his leg just above the ankle and placed in the spine. An hour 1 and a half was required to perform Ihe delicate surgery and the result is reported to appear most satisfactory. , The case s being watched with much I interest.—Bluffton News.
