THE real good fellow" is the
fellow who knows something good
about everybody and tells it. He
never knocks on his neighbor or
digs up the past. He always lends
a helping hand to the fellow who is
up against it and gives him a
chance to make good. He never
forgets to do and say the little
things that make his wife happy.
His children find him jolly chum
and an ever-ready playmate. His
home is heaven of love, happiness
and contentment. The real good
fellow" is the worlds greatest
asset. Bert Morehouse in Ginger.

The writer wishes to thank the
various business firms which, by
reason of their advertising pat
ronage, have made the success
of the present edition possible
and hopes that the public will
show their appreciation of this
support by patronizing those
firms who are asking for their
patronage through advertise
ments in this issue. 1t is still
three weeks until Christmas and
you have ample time to come in
and look over the various stocks
of goods and do your purchasing.
We assure you that you will find
none but first class goods carried
in Cottonwood and the prices as
low as you can find in any town
IN the country, while the friendly
and courteous treatment you will
receive at the hands of our mer-
chants and business men gener-
ally will make you feel welcome
and like returning often to this
place to trade. If the prices arc
as low here as elsewhere and the
stocks of goods larger and better

FRIDAY, DEC. 8, 1915.

Many copies of the Chronicle
this week will undoubtedly come
into the hands of persons who
are not regular readers of this
paper and to these we would say
that if you are pleased with this
special issue you will please us
by sending in your name and
$3.50 in cash and becoming a
regular subscriber. You may
think you are not in need of the
local paper or cannot afford it but
here is where we believe you are
mistaken. Many events are
chronicled in the home paper
every week that may escape your
notice if you do not read the paper
and quite often the missing of a
single item about some sale or
business transaction will cause
you to lose several times what
the paper would cost you for an
entire year. No man who desires
to keep up with the progress of
his community can afford to be
without the home paper, and none
of the big dailies or periodicals
can fill the place occupied by the
country weekly. True, you may
not always agree with the editor
or the views he expresses on
politics or other topics, but he
may not agree with your views
either, and you do not have to
read such matters unless you
want to. The editor of the coun-
try weekly is always working
for the betterment and upbulld-
ing of his community, much of
which work is contributed with
out.a thought of any direct re-
turn. If you appreciate what he
is doing help his work along by
subscribing for the paper and get
as many of your friends to do so
as possible.

This is a very old English Christmas
game and Is not nearly as simple as it
seems to be. Tie players sit all
around the room.
One person comes around to each and
puts number of questions, which
must be answered without saying Mr.
or Mrs, white or black, yes or no.
The game begins something like this:

see what you have to give him. The

is interesting TO read as a narrative
and which is Of inestimable value for
information and for reference.
