AN IDEAL CHRISTMAS
Not in years, if ever, has a
Christmas boon observed in a
more aafo and aaaa manner in
• and around Dana than that of
- tbs ysar IMS. While the spirit
of the season was very much
in evideoc and Sants Clans
was at his beat, tha day teemed
mere like a Sunday that like
the usual Christmas. There was
very little evidence of intoxi
cating beverages hereabouts
aod y*t a good time waa had
Tha manner in which Christ
mas was observed here this
year was in hasping with the
origin of the world-wide holi
day—the birth of the Prince of
Peace. In a communication

U might be stated that the
bleating* brought by tha year
soan to pass into history cams
at a most opportune time. The
farmers and business men gen
erally had been carrying a'bur
densome load dace the “crash"
af 1080 ud the good
crape and high prices
together served to lighten the
burden. To me the expression
of one farmer, it hag pat many
people back on their feat.
While it is impossible to
foretell what die now year
hold* in store, it is not likely
dust It will be so generous in
blessings as was 1088. Wt
would not Uks to be classed as
a peasImlat, but wa would wan
tha farmers against taking toe
great a chance as a result oi
the good cotton crop produced
this year. Again we would
urge tog Importance of plant
ing plenty of seres In food and
food crops to supply the home
and farm. The farmer who doe*
this is fortifying himself
against the worst if it comes.
The fanner who does not i*
