many blessings and prosperity that
have been given to the people OF
this nation, we are at loss to es-
innate and give thanks and to ap-
preciate all these blessings the
Giver of All Good has so lavishly
bestowed on all, but hope and trust
that 1890 VII give to all a year of
prosperity and blessings that were
given us the past year.
Christmas day was observed at
several homes here and in the vi
cinity. Mr.. and Mrs. E. M. Frame
and son Herman and daughter Doris
entertained with Christmas din
ner, Mr.. and Mrs. w. S. Frame,
Miss Lucy Hunter of GAINESVILLE, Mr..
and Mrs. Ernest Stall and chill
dren and Mrs. Martha Stall of the
Frame home, and at the Mrs. Hat
tie Frame home and sister Mrs.
Mary Reed, Christmas day were the
following: Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Har-
Ian and Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Harlan
of McConnelsvllle, Mrs. Lovetta
Frame and boys, Mr.. and Mrs. c. w.
Peairs, Anna Harlan, John Harlan
and Mrs. Mary Alexander,
M. Belle Buchanan had as
Christmas guests her son-in-laws
and families, Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert
Blackburn, Mr. and Mrs Everett
! Thorla, Mr.. and Mrs. Ray Starrett;
and at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
| VIM. Miller and son Roy, Mr.. and
Mrs. Lincoln Dingey and Howard
Miller and family. OF course all
had fine dinners Christmas. Your
correspondent and husband We're
entertained with a fine turkey din
ner with all the trimmings, and an
abundance of other fine eats, at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. V. Riggs
and Mrs. Rosa NJ. Young and three
granddaughters Ruthanna, Elehore
and Marie Gibson, Chr stmas day.
The day was spent very enjoyably,
as we'll as the fine dinner served.
Rev and Mrs. Keller and children
motored to Waynesburs, o., Christ
mas day to visit their daughter and
son-in- law, coming home Friday ev-
ening.
Harley Corns who owned "a
acre farm near Rural Dale, has sold
it to VIM. Miller of tbs place. This
farm has fairly good buildings and
is very productive farm on pub
lie road The price paid was 81,
! 500, surely a cheap price.
! 1t seems too bad that SO many are
selling or nearly giving ther farms
away because of high taxes. So
many claim they can hardly make a
| living on their land and pay such
enormous taxes, SO they are dispos-
! ing of their farms or leaving them
and going to the cities. Several
more well improved farms near
here are for sale.
We were informed Monday morn
ing that Mrs. j. V. Riggs and her
mother Mrs. Rosa Young and Ele-
more. daughter of Mrs. Riggs, are
sick with the grip, but hope they
are not seriously sick.
We want to thank our relatives
and friends through the Democrat,
for the many Christmas remem-
brances sent us. Some from afar;
and the large fruit cake sent us
from a relative on Virginia Ridge,
we certainly appreciate as it was
fine; besides so many boxes of can
dy and cards, and everything sent
us Christmas by friends. We will

Near Jumping Off Place

1t is beginning to look as if DR..
James H. Shook, convicted murder
er of Theora HiX, was nearing the
jumping off place The supreme
court has overruled his request for
new trial, and while it is expected
his attorneys will attempt to carry
the case to the U. S. supreme
court, history of past efforts in the
same direction, does not indicate
much success. Few murder cases
reach the highest tribunal in the
United States. His attorneys will
claim he was denied his constitu
tional right, but attorneys of high
rank outside the case can find little
to their claim. Anoher chance for
his life would be the granting of a
communication of sentence by Gov
ernor Cooper. This will be Sought
by powerful political relatives and
friends of the murderer, if the fed
eral court appeal fails. Date for
electrocution of Shook is now set
for Jan 81

THE AMERICAN Is a top-heavy
favorite to defeat the German
Dempsey. 1t Is not at all likely that

has been called an in-and-outer so
much that 1t has gotten under his
skin and he is anxious TO make good.
He wants the title because OF the
honor ii would bring-and the good
ly slice OF coin. Sharkey has every
eason on earth 10 win and the ex-
perts say he is by far Something's
superior as a ring craftsman. The
German is a one-handed fighter and

A little thing like q rapidly des-
cending elevator, which causes un-
pleasant sensations in many quar-
tiers, shouldn't bother the st. Louis
Cardinals a bit from now on. The
Cards went UP to the top Of the
National League with about the
greatest possible speed. winning IT
out OF Is games. and have been
coming down from the heights
with about as great rapldlty.
The Cardinals came to a tempor-
airy stop in their losing yesterday,
after dropping five straight games,
but it took them ten long innings
TO gain a 2 to l decision over the
Boston Braves and even that tri-
umph left them with a record OF
only two victories in their last II
games.
Fast Drop
The Chicago Cubs, who appeared
to be heading for the job OF success
sors to the cards as league leaders.
suffered another setback after los
ing two out Of three to Brooklyn.
They ran into Phil Collins Of Phil
adelphia and got only six hits. The
Phillies pecked away at Pat Malone
winding up with a thre-run burst
in the eighth for a 6 to 2 victory.
All the other National League
games and the Washington Cleve-
land contest in the American league
were rained out.
Another champion club, the Phil
adelphia Athletics. played second
division baseball as they dropped an
eleven-inning struggle TO the Chi
cago White SoX by a 7 TO 6 count.
The worst exhibition came in the
tenth inning, when Philadelphia
could get only two runs on five hits
having two men thrown out at the
plate.

poor fielding and heavy hitting. The
