We wish you all a merry, merry Christmas. * * * * The merchants of Decatur are extending Christmas greetings to our readers through this issue and we assure you they mean it. You will find them all there with a snappy word of good cheer for the season. * » ★ * This is an ideal day but not just what most people prefer for Christmas. Now if there was some way by which we could exchange it for last May fith, it would seem about right both ways. Remember that’s the day it snowed about seven inches. * * * * “On Agin, Off Agin, On Agin" Walb has decided to hold a meeting of his state committee this week. However, he says it is for the purpose of talking over what McCray can do best for his party. The little matter of what he can do that is best for the state doesn’ seem to lx* of interest. * * * * We notice that members of the state highway commission have addressed meetings in other parts of the state and we are sure that such a meeting would attract much interest here. If a member can be induced to come to this county and tell us about the roads and what we are expected to do. it will help “muchly.” ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Good Fellow club chaperoned by members of the Delta Theta Tau sorority and several Santa Clauses will distribute gifts and good cheer to the children of this community this evening. It’s a fine custom and one we hope our people will never abandon so long as there is a child in this community who can l»e made happier. ♦ ♦ ♦ * Saturday was one of the biggest business days the merchants of this city ever enjoyed. Every store was crowded and the late buyers found the gifts they were hunting for loved ones. \\ hile the weather has not Iwn ideal for the season, the stores have done a splendid business and an- pleased with the support given. Today they all wish you a very Merry Christmas. Good roads will not come like Christmas gifts. If we want them we mu»t help get them by .ddin, our e«.tom Ito■»' the state commission.
