The Christmas spirit is manifest and its so delightful that a fellow can’t help wondering why we can’t have it the year around. Help! Help! Help the Good Fellow’s who wish to make Christmas \ merry for the poor boys and girls. Now is the time to do it. A week in which to shop and you can easily do a good job of it if you will post yourself on what you want and where you can get it by following the advertisements in this paper. The security act which was one of the big issues in the recent campaign has suddenly become so popular that organizations of railroad men, farmers and even state and federal employes are asking io be let in on it. The fund of the Good Fellows should be double during the next few days if the Delta Theta Tau ladies, who have charge, are to do their usual good job of making every one happy who otherwise might be sad on Christmas day. Send the Daily Democrat to those away from home as a Christmas gift. You can mail it to them within a fifty or hundred mile distance for three dollars a year and it means more than three hundred surprises as they read the home' news each day. Wally wants a grand, big wedding with every thing that goes with royalty, while Edward wants to slip over to the 'squire and have it all over quietly and without the' red tape which has been the very bane of his existence all his life. We doubt if the couple get along in the turtle dove manner Very long. The old saying that it's the woman who “pays, pays and pays" doesn't exactly hold good with Edward and Wally. The former gave up a kingdom, spent a million for gifts on his lady friend, owes a $600,000 jewelry bill and now Wally is sending him a couple of ties for Christmas while he is placing a valuable fur coat in her stocking. The First State Bank announces its desire to cooperate with you in building a new home through the FHA, giving excellent opportunities to those who desire to thus 1 prove their good citizenship. it's a good time to be wise and that means its the proper time to look over your assets and talk to your banker about that home you have wanted so long and didn't feel you could start and finish. Dig up your poll tax receipt and slip into Dee Fryback's office and get your 1937 automobile and driv-i er's licenses. Then you will be all set for the New Year and will thus avoid the shove and push contest j sure to be on the last few days. Decatur stores are open evenings until Christmas to give you who.

| are too busy to shop during the I day time the opportunity to select your gifts in the evening. An hour' or two this evening will start you i off and you can conclude your purchases as you can plan it most 1 conveniently. Over near Anderson the other day, a car got out of control and swinging over, sideswiped another , car which in turn bumped into three or four others. There was much damage and several were injured, showing that you must not only be careful to keejj your own car under control but it is also important that you keep your eye on the other drivers as they aoproach. Any thing can happen and quickly when you are moving at from fifty to a hundred miles an hour. ■ The New Year is near and we are planning to give you a better newspaper to keep up with the growing and going community. No where in all the United States has a county emerged from the depression in a better way. We took our bumps, paid the bills, cleared the deck and we are all ready for the era of prosperity that will take us back on the easier road. We ; hope and expect great things in 193" and we hope these are distributed equally and fairly among all the good people of old Adams , county. U there is any serious objection to the proposed new school building and public auditorium, we have not heard it. Nothing that a community can do is more important and that is especially true here where we are moving forward rapidly. We need some place where 1 community meetings can be held, where large banquets can be taken j care of and where we can meet and plan for a better city in which ito live. Thai's progress of the real kind. Os course we must have a new school building, since Central and the south and west ward buildings are in bad repair, are old and cannot be safely modernized. The plan now under consideration seems in every way sensible and it is important, that we do it now when we can secure a free government grant for 45% of the entire cost of construction and equipment. o James Burk will arrive home Sunday from Duke University, Durham N. C. to spend the Christmas holiday with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. jAvon Burk-
