The local stores are fill-1 ed with the finest goods on the market at the best prices aud with the best guarantees. The lights of varied colors and the evergreen branches and trees are being put up and in a few days the city will be ableze with holiday trimmings. It's the happiest season of the year. The Delta Theta Tau. sponsors of the Good Fellows club have started the subscription olt with fifty dollars. If others do ttieir part, the fund will soon be sufficient to do the good work they hope to accomplish. Eligible farmers can now get a , loan of 57 cents per bushel oil their corn which is considerably better than selling it for 30c per bushel. Looks like a perfect condition to try out this law which was enacted to help farmers and not to hurt them. Democrats this week paid honor to two famous Indiana senators, Samuel M. Ralston and John W. Kern, born December Ist and December 4th respectively. Each held high place not only in the state but in the nation and the passing years add glory to their names. Much criticism is being offered 1 by those who love football, against the practice of carrying three to five teams where possible and efforts will be made to limit the number of players to from 22 to 25. Such a change would work to the decided advantage of the smaller schools and many fans believe il would be the fairest rule that could be adopted. The community is shocked by the terrible accident in which Edward Debolt was the victim. At this season of the year hundreds of young men engage in the enticing sport of hunting birds and rabbits and each year there is a toll of serious accidents. We can only urge every one who haudles a gun, whether he be amateur or expert, to be careful. — Frank G. Thompson, Bluffton I i newspaper man, former representative from this district and well known here, is now auditor of! state, a position his friends know he will fill with credit to himself and his party. A man of fine personality, good habits, trained in < business, he is a state official of whom we are all proud and the ! better we know him, the prouder we are. Good luck Frank. Terrible beyond description was the Balt Lake City wreck where a fast train hit broadside a bus loaded with school children The diiver and two dozen children were

| killed. The cause is given that the driver was blinded by a snow storm, but that excuse does not seem sufficient for under such circumstances it would seem tbe driver should have been even more ' cautious than usual. It should be a lesson to every driver of school .! buses iu America. | The Decatur city electric plant | will have produced fifteen million kilowatts of electricity by the end I of this mouth, largest year in history. It is a wonderful showing and whatever is necessary to keep this 1 institution up to standard, capable of furnishing what ever the requirements are, should be done. ! That we are sure is the desire of the people of Decatur, every one of whom is justly proud of the growth and the success of this municipally owned plant. The opening of the new gym in ' ■ the high school auditorium last ! evening was a thrill long to be re I membered by the students, the fans, the faculty and the officials of the school. It is a fine addition ; to one of the most convenient and j attractive high school buildings in j | the state. Tbe large crowd at last i night s game manifested pleasure | at the commodious gym with its standard floor aud every accomo- 1 dal ion to he desired, it will be the i scene of many hard fougbt battles | in the years to come. Recounts of ballots in various I counties over the state are making slight changes and that would nc doubt be the result if the entire stale was recounted. If you stop to think about it, you will agree that controlling election boards under lndiaua laws is an almost im--1 possible, job. On each board there is an advantage of but oue for either side aud it is next to impossible to do any thing illegal or j wrong without the entire board having knowledge. To recount is ! usually a waste of money. mbumbiihc The Montpelier justice of the peace who gave a Geneva man j ninety days at Ihe penal farm and a stiff fine for public intoxication, then suspended both on condition he would stay sober, used the money he had in his pocket to buy food for his family, the receipts to be turned into court, had a good idea. After all if the sentence as iinposj ed was carried out, the man s famI ily would be the ones really pun- ! ished. Probation is often the best means of correcting the faults of those who violate the rules of so- | ciety. ■ The Good Fellows Club is open : j again and you are invited to par- ; ticipate in the raising of funds j with which to see that Santa Claus j visits every poor home in the com- , munity. For years this club has functioned well, bringing joy to hundreds of boys and girts and providing a Christmas dinner for many families that otherwise would have none. Give liberally aud help make this the best year in all the history of Decatur, remembering that it is better to give than to receive. If you would be | happy, make others also happy. The ten GOP candidates for the I legislature from Marion county declare they will contest the seats of their Democratic opponents, hoping to gain the seals simply bei cause they apparently have a majority of one in the house, it's doubtful if all the Republicans will 1 line up for such a high handed perj formanee and if they do it is be- | ing suggested by some Democrats that similar action be taken by them in the senate, knocking one ; off there when a member of the house is lost. We don’t believe i when th?y get down to business ! that either side will engage in such untair practices. Baby to Dentist Early Jacksonville, Fla. — <U.R> — Although Bertie* Mae Eddy is less than a month old, she has already been to see her dentist. She was born with two teeth, and when she was just seveu days old the tiny while molars were extracted.
