The newspapers are having quite a
little fun at the expense Of the genial
Col John T. McGraw, who recently
made rosy prediction as TO the carry
ing ability Of the Democrats in this
4 State in the election two years hence.
Since making that statement another
story has been sent out that the
Colonel is about TO be endorsed as
S1eader OF the Democratic party In West
Virginia. Below are some comments
0na these two phases Of the subject

a variety Of motives underlies the
purchase Of beautiful, useful and or
namental things for our friends at
Christmas time. Some buy nice things
as a sort of Investment. thinking the
persons to whom they are sent will
send them something nicer and more
costly in return. Others go beyond
their means to create the impression
that they can afford to do such things,
when they and everybody else know
they can not Still others buy because
they feel they almost have to and not
because they want to; but perhaps by
far the greater number give gifts"
from pure heart and with worthy
motive. The Bible says 1t is more
blessed to give than to receive and
there is no doubt Of that, II the mo-.
tive of the giver be good. There. seems
to be an increasing tendency among
the people to give useful and practical
gifts and that is quite sensible. It
is tendency in the right direction.
Again. there ought to be more giving
and less Swapping" The poor ought
to be remembered as well Us those
who can give in return. The true gift
anticipates nothing in return and that
is no doubt the kind the sacred writ
err had in mind when he said 1t was
more blessed to give than TO receive.
And wlthal. in our giving. letfus not
forget the Great Gift spoken Of by
St. John when he said: For God so
loved the world that he GAVE his only
begotten son that whatsoever belieVeth
on him should not perish but have
everlasting life"

band, Arthur B. Dixon, when he re-.
turned homo from work this evening.
Dixon found the house locked and
was obliged to break in the front
door. He found the bodies Of his
wife and children in a bedroom.
Medical Examiner A. A. Donald
decided that Mrs. Dixon had killed
the children and herself. Dixon told
the police that he left home 1T 6
o'clock this morning to go to bis
work. At that time his wife was up,
the children were all awake and ne
did not notice anything unusual.
Dixon 10 81 years old a1d bis wife was
