on his farm three miles north of Leon
one of the finest barns in Decatur
county. 1t is octagon in shape, 50x50

of all who pass near the farm, owing to
it's peculiar construction, being sur
mounted with fine large tower lighted
on all sides, SO that the second story is
as light as the first one. The plans were
original with Mr.. Goodman, who design
ed the barn and did most of the work
himself. The interior is designed with
many labor saving devices, and he can
we'll feel proud of his new barn.

All records in the killing department
at Swift & Companys plant were broken
last Thursday when 100 turkeys were

There are quite number of poor peo-
pie in the city who would greatly
appreciate the gift of many articles
possessed by those in more fortunate
circumstances and the giving of which
would be no hardship whatever to
those who would be compelled to part
with their gifts in this way. Those who
goods hardly realize the deprivation
and poverty which exists in even this
prosperous community and the struggle
which is encountered by many to keep
the gaunt wolf from the door, especially
in the winter time. Often coat that
has been cast aside and is left to mould
and become worthless in some back
shed would provide the most comfort
able covering for some poor mortal who
is obliged to encounter the chill winds
of winter, and even could be used in
making over as warm garments for the
little ones. And there would be more
pleasure in the giving for this purpose
than many people have ever been able
to find in their most ardent seeing for
amusement. AS the glad time approach
es when gifts are in order suppose the
readers of THE REPORTER carry the
blessed plan of giving to receive
pleasure and even deny themselves of
some luxury TO make the hearts of less
fortunate mortals leap with pleasure at
the unexpected Joy which has come into
their lives.
