You will enjoy it for it contains the sincere greetings of almost every business house and organization iu Decatur. O—O Shoppers have been busy here the past week or two and will continue during the neat seven or eight days. Local stores have excellent stocks of good* trout which y«M can select. Look them over and remember that there are many advantages in trading with those whom you know are reliable. General Kle< trie employes here will share In the profits of the company during the next few days, thia being the second sharing fund distribution of the year. The first was made in August and the payments iliis time will be from one to four percent of employes wages. It will help make Chrisunas morrlor. The Good FelloWs are busy a* we approach the holiday season. Time is short and the next week will require the attention of many of those In charge In preparing They must buy and gather the articles and then place them in pa< kage* that can be delivered. It's a big and important job sud the community is grateful to those who each year du such an excellent work. —<o-0t— Official figures show that 1.742,747 voles were cast in Indiana m the recent election, an all time record by 122-000. The total in the Unitwd states was also a new peak. 44404.424, close to the fifty million prediction. Mr. Roosevelt's popular majority was 4.414,713. He received 64.7% ot the entire vote. Mr. Wilikte had 44 8% and all others bait of a percent. The Stet tors met today to officially cast their votes that will stect Roo*«velt aqd Waltecw.

The leaders of tbs natlos who really know what is guiug on In ths world seem to test that there Is now greater need than ever for preparing this nation for defense Th, year I*ll may be a very startling one for this nation as well as I for the mttre world. It s a good ' lime to keep our feet on the ground and aid a* wo can tn Ibe program I that will provide us the safest and I best defense in preparation tor 1 whatever may come. O—U The Christmas spirit is every where evident iu tin* country where we are at peace and where there I* employment and general prosperity. Il* not so over the world and iu inauy countries the old and popular message of "peace on earth. good will toward men I will sound like a hollow mockery. I It u: course sadd<-us millions in this hemisphere and should strengthen our determination to continue a peaceful, happy people. William Knudson says we are thirty peri ent behind our schedule in pre|>aratroti and urg- s manu-

lecturers and laboi io cooperate iu meeting the situation. He says that many still do not realise the impoilarue of speedy preparation that this dcmo< ia< y may be saved land with the greatest security to every one. It's a diftb ult thing to j meet all the regulations of bus- j I .ties*. comply »ith the fortyhuui week and at the same lime meet the requirements for delivery of those things necessary to equip an - army and navy. His talk to the I Nations Manufacturer's AssoctI ation la .New York surely made those pieseut understand that this I is no time for selfish attitudes and ought Io do mu< h good. —o M ile thau ’bitty million pounds ! of sugar was manufactured at th, ' I Central riugar Company * plant : here this year during the camI patgn that dosed Saturday It was the most successful ruu in the history of this, the only sugar factory In Indiana. It was a seventy-one day run during ahnh several bun-1 <lre«i m«ni were . inployed the factory operating twenty four hours a day straight through. The grow, era rec eived a fifty fifty division with the cotniHiiiy and payment being made now will total nearly half a tniiion dollar*, the balam e to be ( paid after the sugar is sold, it's ' a grent outfit and we are very | proud of the excellent spirit of cooperation between the community - and the management. Congratula tiotis on the new record and w< hope the I*4l campaign will set still another new record, —o BE CAREFUL: Fred Braun the ''Safety Mau'' says: December is always a had mouth for accidents. Shorter days and had weather, tn addition to th,- increased traffic In the business districts. are responsible tor the high ac< tdent frequency. The December pedestrian death toll normally is one-eighth of the total number of pedestrian deaths for the entire year. Because of (his, I recommend that all communities provide additional offlZers to direct traffii at downtown Intersections. The vise of the com- ' inunlty should make no difference; a life In a small community is ’ equally as important as a life in 1 a large community and should receive the same protection. Pedeetriaus, of course, can help ' motorists by crossing at Intersec--1 Hons only, and under proper direc- ' tion. Remember this when you are ’ doing your Christmas shopping. Let * make it u sate Christmas—--1 then it will be a Merry Christmas. — A * TODAY'S COMMON ERROR t Du not omit the subject ot an I elliptical clause, a*, "when a boy," tor "when I was a boy " or. "Do not cut the cake until I thoroughly cooked tor "until it is thoroughly cooked."

- ~ | IT Uahoo IN w A Nswepeper '• • orn Vevay. Indiana Terrltroy. June 11th Hid. to the Honorable James Monrue Esq . Secretary of Btatv: Hir, I take the Liberty to Bute to you that there is at present only one newspaper printed within this Territory, to wit: the Western Bun at Vinceune but whhb I* not regu-' larly printed and ba* but a very I small cinulailon. Mr. William C.. Keen (whose prospectu» of a new paper to be printed iu this town Is here enclosed! will Issue bls first number next week and continue regeularly thereafter, 1 he being i under obligation so to do tor at least two years, he wishes to be , ap|M>inted to print Ilk- laws of tbe l ulled States within ibis territory, and for that purpose be requested me to write io you In his behalf to solicit the appointment. When Mr. Keen first issued hl* prospectus I wrote to our Representative Mr. Jennings to endeavor to get the printing of the law* ot tbe U. Sfoi Mr. Keen bi* answer which is dated April th* 20th 1818. 2 Say that be would with pleasure have done so had he not actually signed a letter in favor ot a paper at Louisville, Ky. As postmaster In this town, and as a citlsen of Indiana. I conceive it my duty to encourage such an establishment m that of Mr. Keen as much as 1 can. it is well known [ that in a new country as this is. It! 'I is with difficulty that a printing

establishment van be supported, and the printing of the law* of the V. H would be a considerable encouragement to him. I therefore ' I if It to consistant with the regula-' non of government) pray you that Mr. Keen may get the said ap pointment. 1 have the honor to be wilb the highest consideration and respect sir your obedient aud bumble servant. John Francis Dufour, postmaster. Proposals tor publishing, in Vevay Indiana teiritory, a weekly newspaper, to be called The Indiana Register; The increasing population of Indiana territory, together with the prospect of it's being shortly ad- | mitted a free, sovereign and Independent stale, induces the subscriber to submit proposals for the publication of a weekly newspaper. Politically, the Register will be liberal — in character. Republican decidedly opposed to the principles ! of monarchy. To render the Register useful and Interesting to the merchant—the farmer the manufacturer—the mechanic the soldier, who delights to reflect on the noble and generous dei-d» of his countrymen -as well as the politician, it will record important public documents —* history of the proceedings of the national legislature -foreign intelligence — historical, (military, civil, moral and political i geographical and biographical notices. Original essays netting forth the duties which should occupy the cares of a new government and esc Ite an inters>et In Obe breast of every good citizen: as, to extend the sense of religious duty-»o confl rm the steady habits of moral virtue- propositions to protect and diffuse the means of education—to fooler agriculture and manufactures—the promotion of internal improvement; in short, essays upon the general interests of the territory, will be cheerfully inserted. William C. Keen. Conditions 1. Three dollars per annum, for which two dollars will betaken if paid in advance. Z. No subscription received for a less term than six months; and no paper will be discontinued until arrearages are paid. g. A failure to notify a wish to discontinue at the expiration of a period paid for. will be considered as a new engagement. 4. Advertisements inserted three times for one dollar per squarelonger ones In proportion. N. B. I will commence as soon as I cau get on the materials.
