channels good price is assured for crop; that We
were saved from the menace of great flood this
spring and in many other ways have been blessed,
The Chief believes that this coming Christmas tide
should be one of the greatest for celebration that the
present generation has ever had the privilege in
which to participate.
There is not citizen of our section who is not
grateful, and on Christmas day he, or she will exhb
this spirit of thankfunesss by giving to his or her.
own kin and friends some token, or symbol, to mark
the spirit of the season. It has been several years
since the spirit Of Christmas has really been exhb-
ted in our country.
