Valentine Butte Gazette We are sorry that we have stepped on Bro Armstrongs feelings and hast en to apologize as we meant not to make light of Butte and- her races Wish we could be there as we know

being pushed on W Honeys new stone front on Main street We- have been reading with much interest the latest work of the famous soutehrn novelist Mrs JS Burke Col lins presented us by the author en titled A Modern Heathen and pro nounce it the best we have read of her 100 books Tiie Rifle of 1896 We noticed recently in Sports Afield an article relative to the de structive power of ancient and mod ern fire arms The writer claims a balance in favor Df the ancient arms Now be is partially right The rifle of 1896 cannot kill the same number of men at a single discharge as the old time English blunderbuss and shoot-while-you-wait musket but it most certainly is a less dangerous arm- for the shootera man can start forth with a gun in those dayswith some hope of returning alive while in the olden time he invariably bade his family a tearful farewell ere departing there fore while we cannot cover ten acres of ground with lead at one discharge we are content to pierce a two iach iron plate at 1000 yards and go on our way firmly convincedithat modern guns are good enough if not quite what they really ought to be Eyery thing is looking nice since the rains There has not been a better prospect for years Wheat is fine Base ball and horse racing are all the talk Mrs Hudson is recovering fromher recent illness but is very poorly yet Mrs Will Clarkson and Mrs Dollie House and their families were visiting their parents near Sparks Mrs J C Pettijohn and daughter of Valentine have been visiting Mr and Mrs Clarkson c Miss Bertha Henryvof Valentine is visiting her grandparents The Sparks base ball team went to Arabia last Saturday to do up the boys on the hay fiats The next thing they will try the Port or Chadron teams NT J Grooms our country black smith made a disc harrow for-

reser vation last week looking for cattle Sandy Georgia Everybody is rejoicing over the- ac tion of the repunlican county conven tion in giving the people a candidate1 for county attorney whoif elected will be an honor to the county and his party also The near approach of the republican national convention causes every lover of his country to wonder who will be put forward by that party as the rep resentative of its principles- whether it will be- the friend of the masses or the advocate of bonds and boodle and in the near futurebankruptcy and repud iation God grant that w may be spared the humiliation of seeing such men as Ben Harrison or Crazy Bill r McKinley in the presidential chair ren and as the hot close days and J r evenings of summer are here they like to stroll or lounge on its- banks This they cannot with self respect do as long as you persist in bathing without suits Several prominent and influ ential citizens have told The Demo ghat that if the offense against de cency is repeated after this warning they will proceed to prosecute the of fenders for indecent exposure Thats all Valentine will Celebrate We hear this morning that Prank Rothleutner will ship three or four cars of cattle to Omaha this week Under the head of wanted we would mention the views of Bill Mc Kinley on our financial problem and Ben Harrisons opinion as to whether second marriage is a
