Boys, here's an idea for Christmas fur garters are selling in London at 375 the pair. Folks, lets make this week count by piling up the fund tor the Good Fellows to assure the poor boys and girls, those little fellows with pinch ed faces, of a Merry Christmas. Don't turn this aside, its a Christian duty and moat important. A slump in the markets again and just at the time when the farmer is about ready to market considerable of his years products. Its a hard game and will continue Ip be so, as long as the markets are controlled bj the gamblers. The Frankfort Times has absorbed the News and will have the entire field, publishing only a morning edition. The News which followed the Crescent was established in 1849. The Times was established in 1885 and is recognized as one of the best of the smaller c4fy dailies in the state. Eight days left in which to shop for Christmas but that means tha. yon should be getting busy and do it in at least half that time. You wil. find a lot of beautiful gifts at reason able prices this year if the Decatui stores and you can make your list up easily from the advertisements in the Daily Democrat. Just get your pencil out and try it. Ma Ferguson, governess of Texas stood pat and the bluff seems to havt worked for Lee Satterwhite, speake. 1 of the.house who had noisily threatened to call the legislature together ( to impeach her in case she didn’t de so or resign has now postponed his 1 call. Looks like Bill Rogers was right when he said they would not only fail to throw Ma and Jim out ol office bdt that they will re-elect one of them for the next term. A program extending from two in the afternoon until late in the evening is being arranged for the Alumni ban quet on the 28th, with features that will delight you. All members with their husband or wife, invited and if you can't come for the banquet, be sure to come for the evening program, help sing the songs and give the yells and .meet the folks. Its going to be a good time and we .want you all to help make it so by getting in the spirit of a real reunion. , What if you had to decide whether you would die at a given date next June by hanging, electrocution or the firing squad? Thats what happened to a young man named Seybolt from Defiance, Ohio, who was sentenced to death by a Utah jury for the killing of a man Crowther in a scuffle at a party. His mother is trying to save him and we are sure that men convicted of crime in which there was more evidence of intent, have escaped the death penalty and a lot of ’people are “pulling" for a commutation in this case. Young Seybolt by the way selected the firing squad route.

Whatever may be said of some congressmen, they can not be charged 'with over-modesty, as the congressional record always divulges. The one Just issued of the present congress has some biographies that, as usual, provoke smiles, as they were ill written by the congressmen themselves. While most of these biographies are short, now and then there is one with the complete family hisiory. One Mississippi congressman ulniit s that he was the brightest member of his class in college. A Jplifornia congressman says he is he descendant of six generations of pioneers. Only one member of the present congress was born in a log cabin. Brookhart, of lowa. Strange is it may seem, the shortest sketch comes from an Arkansas congressman, who mentions only his name, itis politics and his residence. —Hartford City News. 0 tg i: s:: ssssss sss k 3 r i k ; TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY X ; X t From the Daily Democrat Flla X !

“BATTLING SIKI” IS SHOT TO DEATH Unknown Assassin Slays Heavyweight Prize Fighter In New York New York. Dec. 15.—(United Press) —"Battling Siki,” Senegalese heavyweight prize fighter, was shot to death by an unknown assassin on Ninth avenue today, three bld?ks from Times square, where his pugilistic exploits in and out of the ring were rialto gossip.

His body was found by a policeman whom he had told tour hour,s before: “Goodnight, I'm going homo now." A revolver was found nearby. Siki, whoe real name was Louis I’hal. won his chief pugilistic fame when he conquered Georges Carpentier and became the champion of the world | Patrolman John J. Meehan, to whom Slki had talked a little after midnight, stumbled upon the fighter's body toward dawn. The fighter had been shot in the back and the bullet passed through his breast. | Siki was married to a white woman. Lillian Warner. He gave his age as 25 when the marriage took place at the municipal building here in July, 1924. ' Dispatches from Paris at the time said that the Senegalese had made a .our of Holland three years before with a Dutch girl whom he introduced as his wife. He was said to have had a child by this girl. After his defeat,of Carpentier, Siki lost his title to Mike McTigue and since has gone steadily lower on the pugilistic ladder. Within the last year 'or two his name has seldom appeared in the press in any connection other [than that of some escapade.
