MADILL, OKLAHOMA. DECEMBER 20,1907.
THE HOLY FESTIVAL
Before we get out another issue
of the Marshall County Demo-
crat another 25th of December
will have passed into history. It
is celebrated as being the birth of
Him whose mission it was to send
"peace on earth good will toward
men." This Prince of Peace was
born according to our chronology
1907 years ago and this day has
long been set a part as a day for
giving gifts and bestowing deeds
of kindness and scattering joy
and sunshine in the hearts of our
fellow men. We are endeavoring
in our humble way to cause a ray
of sunshine to enter each home
to which the Marshall County
Democrat linds its way. The
Teddy Bear cover will be a source
of amusement for the children
and we hope the reading matter
contained in the paper may be
some benefit to those who read it.
A great majority of the business
men of Madill joins us in wishing
our readers a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year. Those
who advertise in the Democrat
ask you to visit their places of
business, price their goods and
they promise to give you such
prices and such nice goods as
will make you glad. And while
you are making other hearts
light by your good deeds you
might step into the office and
subscribe for the Marshall
County Democrat, renew your
subscription or send the paper to
some of your friends and thus
send a ray of bright sunshine in-
to the homes of the proprietors
of the Democrat. Here's wishing
you a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year.
mother the pure and refined love
of family kinship. The time
when we make our friends hap-
py little tokens of love and re-
memberance. The time to re-
member our poor and needy,
making sad hearts glad by glad
tidings of bounty. Christinas is
the time set apart by the whole
enlightened world for the cele-
bration of the Ijirtli of the child,
Jesus, that was to lead a sin
blinded world to a land bright
with smiles and radiant with love
and good will. Now let none
blaspheme, by drink or profanity
this sanctified day of world-wide
rejoicing. Think not of wealth
or poverty, only remember that
the Manger Babe came for all,
and for rich and for poor was
nailed to the cross. Happy
hearts and bright faces are the
birthright of those who follow
this meek, but Divine Being.
Do not mope and fret when de-
signing men assail you, keep a
conscience clear of deception,
your head above the cloud of evil-
doing and peaceful will be your
evenings and the respect of your
fellow man will be your portion.
THE SAI-iOON MUST GO.
The great wave of prohibition
relating to liquor that has swept
over the southern states has
reached the north. Chicago and
Illinois have shown their senti-
ment to be in favor of no saloons.
In a very short time at the
present rate, the open saloon will
be a thing of the past. Bryan
Co. Democrat.
May God speed the day.
CHRISTMAS
Christinas is here, the merri-
est, jolliest, the happiest of the
year. The home-coming time for
boys and girls off at school, the
time for father to lay aside
all financial cares for a day and
enjoy with the children and
Life's Impor-
tant Mistakes
According to a well-known
writer, the important mistakes
of life can be condensed into
fourteen. The selected fourteen
are given below:
It is a mistake to set un your
own standard of right and wrong
and judge people accordingly.
To measure the enjoyment of
others by your own.
To expect uniformity ofopinion
in the world.
To look for judgement and ex-
perience in the young.
To endeavor to mold all dispo-
sitions alike.
To yield to immaterial trifles.
To look for perfection in our
own actions.
To worry ourselves and others
with what cannot be remedied.
Not to alleviate all that needs
alleviation so far as lies in our
power.
Not to make allowance for in-
firmities of others.
To consider everything im-
possible that we cannot perform.
To believe only what our ininds! tem of Prance. Messrs Harry

The cost of print paper Ins ad-
vanced enormously within the last
twelve months. So great is the
increase that in the case of some
of the big city dailies the ad-
vance means an additional cost of
from $200,000 to $400,000 a year.
All over the country, news-
papers are being compelled to in-
crease their subscription rates
or go out of business.
The Daily Oklahoman has just
announced that it will be forced
to increase its subscription price
to $5.00 per year instead of $4.00,
although this will not take effect
until January 1st, and any new
or old subscribers who send in
their subscriptions now will be
allowed to secure one year more
at the $4.00 rate. This will take
the plaee of the Oklahoman's
regular Christmas offer, as on
and after January 1, the price
will be $5.00 to everybody.
Notes From
The University
of Oklahoma
Two college Literary Societies
contested Friday evening, Dec-
ember 13, for a large silver loving
cup given by Judge Milton Gar-
ber of Garfield county. The sell the whole, or
societies were the Forum and the
Senate. Three events constitute
the contest, a debate, an extem-
poraneous speech, and a parlia-
mentary drill. This was the
second contest and for the second
time the Senate won the cup.
The debate was on the subject,
Resolved that the United States
Should Adopt the Banking Sys-
Senateteam. The Senate won the
debate and the speaking contest,
the Forum the parliamentary
drill. Senate 75, Forum 25.
The entire contest was in a
measure extemporaneous. The
speakers were given general
subjects some days beforehand,
but Friday morning the debaters
drew lots for sides, and the ex-
temporaneous speakers knew
nothing of their particular topics
until they came upon the plat-
form. Therefore the contest
was real and spirited and worthy
of commendation. Judge Gar-
ber encouraged a valuable enter-
prise when he gave the societies
the "Garber Cup."
