Observ- ; ing this many of our merchants have bought a generous Christmas ! stock. In regard to this we have ! suggestions to offer both the buyin j public and those who have things • to sell. To the latter our advice would be to let the people kpow j about the things mid above i '1 ma'ie the prices right. Tue merchants of Syracuse have not the farm trade j they should have. We will not at-1 tempt to give reasons—we don’t know them. We do know however that a few cut prices liberally advertised will go a long ways to-' wards securing more of the rural b isiness. Every woman and many men like a bargain or a reduced price and if the stores in the town nearest them do not give a redtic- ( tion once in a while the bargainlover is goi g where they do. Our 1 s’iggtt.ion to the buying publicist that they mve.-Hgate the home merchants line thoroughly before : " going away to buy. All vhe steres a’e arranging holiday displays and they are better equipped this year tl an ever to supply holiday needs. ! Let the buyer and seller get together a <d it will be to their mutual benefit. Some Observers believe that this var will mean the jend of all mon- i a hs. There can be no doubt whatever that it means the end of a reat many human beings who are not monarchs. L’lndependance Beige, now pub--1 led in London, may be regarded ! a the leading example of flexible j rnalism. ft has been published ii Brussels, Ghent, Ostend and London. With a persistency worthy of more extended recognition, Mount Lassen continues to offer its long series of brilliant eruptions as a counter attraction to the war. War Supplies in large shipments are being exported from the United Srctes. Let every American pray that they are being sent as far away as possible.

FMD fSfiT - SERIOUSLY INJURED Hurt While At Work On Syracuse & Milford Railway /. • I Fred Burht received serious in-, juries, Tuesday morning about eight | o’clock, while performing his duties as brakeman on the Syracuse & Milford line, which necessitated his being taken to Chicago that afternoon for an X-ray examination. Floyd Kitson, a fellow workman was the only one clo e by when the accident occurred. According to the account that we have, Burht was using a pick-handle with which to set brakes. The train was “dropping in” cars at the gravel, pit and the brake on the car ridden ; by the injured man slipped loose in i some manner whirling the pickhandle around and striking Burht • in the back of the head. Kitson, j who saw the accident hastened to j the side of the injured man who; was sitting up but who shortly : afterwards lost consciousness. He was removed to his home as quickly as possible and a physician found that the base of the skull had been fractured. In the afternoon he was taken to a Chicago hospital where it was hoped that X-ray examination would disclose some method of successfully coping with the injury. Up until early Wednesday j piorning, no news had been re-: ceived from the hospital where he was taken. HONE COMING A SUCCESS A PLEASANT AND EVENTFUL DAY SPENT BY METHODISTS The Home Coming meeting ai the M. E. church was a time of great interest for the church and a splendid success.

Obituary Franklin Forney Pfingst, youngest son of John D. and Ada L. Pfingst, was born near South Milford, Indiana, March 25, 1896, and and departed this life at his recent home in Syracuse, Indiana, November 29, 1914, aged 18 years, 8 months and 4 days. At the age of 11 years he moved with his patents from Indiana to Pickaway County, Ohio. He spent the remainder of his life here, except the last three months which he spent at Syracuse, Indiana, to which place he went for the sole purpose of improving his health. It was here that his Master summoned him from his labors to his reward. In 1909 under the efforts of Rev. M. R. White, Forney confessed faith in his Savior, was baptized and united with the Morris U. B. church, of near Circleville, Ohio. To this-church he remained a true, faithful aAd consistent member Whenever opportunity presented itself he was always at his place of duty. At the time of his beginning i illness he was assistant superintendent of the Sunday school here, was corresponding secretary for the Young Peoples’ Society and was teacher of a class of little boys. His special interest was in this class and often did he speak of it when upon his bed of suffering and i afflictions. He realized the importance as an adequate education, and he sought to obtain it. It was while a Junior in the Everett high school of CircleI ville, that his health gave way and he was compelled to forego this ambiiion. Forney was sincere, kind and of a pleasing disposition. He was always bright and cheerful: was loved and highly esteemed by all who knew him. He leaves to mourn his loss a father, mother and three brothers: Charles and Arnold, both of Syracuse, and Calvin of East Chicago, also a host of relatives and friends. Funeral services were at the house, conducted by Rev. Collins iof Syracuse. Interment was made lin the Hitler cemetery, Circleville, Ohio. Card Os Thanks The parents and brothers of the deceased desire to express their appreciation and thanks to the friends and neighbors in Syracuse for the sympathies shown and for their every act of kindness and assistance rendered during the serious illness and death of our dear son and brother.
