Brother Olive Visiti County Seat
and Tells What He Saw Here
(Weeping Water Republican.)
It is said that if you want the news
you should go visiting. Last Tues
day the writer went to Plattsmouth,
and while there heard that a trans
fer was being made of the old Reed
quarry and that it was going to be
opened up again. Also the Commer
cial Land Co. would clean up this
season down below and then every
thing would be moved to the Sperry
place west of town, where there is a
vast amount of rock awaiting the
dynamite to Jar it loose. We Inspect
ed the court house and concluded
that there was a pretty fine lot of
boys therein.
The man who is to conduct the gas
oline engine factory came In Tuesday
with two carloads of machinery, and
Plattsmouth people expect this new
Industry to add materially to the
city's welfare.
The new postoffice building is un
der way and Postmaster Schneider
showed us plans of the new building.
It Is going to bo very fine with every
convenience, and makes a third class
postmaster feel like he was small
potatoes. It even includes a bath
tub and shower bath.
Sheriff Qulnton said he had four
prisoners In the county Jail, but he
did not have one commendable word
to say for the old structure. He don't
m'ind being sheriff but he would
rather have a better Jail to keep his
prisoners in.
Thos. Pollock said he wa3 glad to
see us, which may or may not be
true, we hope it is. He said they
had their telephone meeting Monday
night, but on account of the Injunc
tion suit not being settled the meet
ing was postponed six weeks In hopes
that he court would render a decision.
We rather think that the holders of
a big majority of stock would much
prefer that the sale was sanctioned,
and a few stockholders are mighty
sore, but some times a man has to
take his medicine.
County Commissioner Friedrich
was on hand for a meeting of the
board, but reported Commissioners
Swltzer and Jordan on the sick list,
the former in an Omaha hospital.

ST. HOIKS
n Honor of St. Valentine Who
Was Beheaded by the Romans
on That Date.
Valentine's Day, February 14th, iu
olden time was celebrated by a pecu
liar fashion, and many people perhaps
do not understand the real origin of
the day, other than for simply select-
ng some enemy or person whom
ealousy might attract and find great
delight In sending them one of those
really vulgar valentines. According
to an old belief prevalent many, many
years ago, It was the mating season
of tho little birds, called St. Valen
tino's Day iu honor of Valentine, who
was beheaded by the RomaiiB on that
date, February 14th. From this grew
the peculiar custom of maids and
bashelors assembling together on the
eve of St. Valentine-, and Inscribe
upon little billets the names of an .
equal number of maids and bachelors
of their acquaintance throw the
whole In a receptacle of somo sort,
and then draw thorn as you would an
ordinary lottery, care being taken of
course that each should draw one of
the opposite sex. The person thus
drawn becamo one's valentine. Out
of this grew the one still In vogue,
but for many yearB was greatly
abused by the numerous degraded
nil vulgar so-called comic valentlneB,
but fqr tho past few years has taken
a great change. Today St. Valentine's
Day is being observed in an entirely
different manner. The day la being
returned to the olden custom of send
ing through the malls or otherwise
presenting tokens of love and friend
ship on St. Valentine's Day. It has
truly grown in vast proportions from
the vulgar comic valentine to one of
great beauty, Inscribing thereon a
lotter or some expressive token con
taining sentiments of admiration and
affection. They are not Blmply pur
chased and mailed anonymously to
persons of the opposite sex, as many
seem to believe, but the more hand
some ones are purchased by the
young man for his sweetheart and he
takes grent delight In presenting the
same to her In person. It carries
with It a certain amount of sentiment
and affection in which the young man
places his fair valentine. A sweet
heart chosen on St. Valentine's Day
should be placed In the same high re
gard as the one chosen on Christmas
day, she should be Just as dear to you
six weeks later, and if you follow In
the custom of olden times as you have
done with Christmas times', you will
present her with a valentine that will
lie Just as dear to hor as the liand
Bome present you bought for her on
Christmas and presented with the
same amount of affection and admira
tion. ' Tho little folks buy them for
their playmates, and tho parents buy
them for the children. May It con
tinue upon this elevated plane and
never retrogade to the vulgar cus
toms of the past many decades.
