THE VALENTINE DEMOCRAT
gOBEKT GQQD Editor apd Publier
PfficiaJL Pper of CJierry Comi
ty Nebraska
100 Per Year in Advance
PUBLISHED EVERY JHURSDA
Entered at tbe Postoffioeat Valentine Cherry
fBOiiiit Nebraska as Secoffd class matter
At last a man has been found who
is not ashamed to sign his name to an
article in a local paper Talk of
journalistic amenities How is this
for a roast It appeared in the AinB
worth papers over a farmers signa
ture but we leave out the names
I say again that is ther
most vicious contemptible and invet
erate liar thaciever seen in any state
or country aim l oeiieve ne win ao
anything that fee can hide or conceal
tois word is no good m this neighbor
hood as a rule and I think that I have
got neighbors that are truthful honor
able with good reputations that will
Verify my statement
Chronologically as well as sentiment
ally tbe American people are justified
in applying to their national flag the
endearing title of Old Glory inves
tigation shewsthst our flag is older in
Resign than the national ensigns of
most of the nations of the first rank
Old Glory was designed by act of con
gress in 1777 Thug Its age is 121
years The present flag of Great
Bntian wasadopted in 1801 the flag
of Spain in 1785 the French tricolor
1848 Old Glory is even older than
the flags of the ancient -empires of
Japan and China which since being
forced to associate with the family of
nations have adopted new ensigns
Germanys present flag was adopted as
late as 1870 St Louis Republic
The Union Stock Yards Co of
South Omaha invites all visitors to the
exposition to call upon them when in
town The World Herald says of this
invitation
It is with pride that Mr Kenyon
the general manager of the stock yards
company points to these yards as be
ing the best equipped in the world
and while owing to their infancy
they are not the largest still they soon
expect to be They now rank in third
place in volume of business and equip
ment and for convenience in -handling
live stock are at the head of the list
Visitors who desire to observe the
workings of these great stock yards
should come early in the day so that
they can be piloted to the places where
stock is 3old weighed up and in turn
delivered to the packing houses or
shippers as the case may be Every
employee of the stock yards -company
and the commission men as well are a
committee of one to make strangers
ieel at home when they come here

Says the organ of the Protective
Tariff League the American Econo
mist
It is hard work writing Free Trade
editorials showing that the policy of
Protection is destructive of foreign
trade in the face of figures showing
that our foreign trade has expanded to
an extent that astonishes the civilized
World We have actually sold to
foreign countries in the past year
50 000000 more of manufactured
Jgbbds than we have bought of them
And yet the Economist claims that
we must place a protective tariff on
all goods coming to this country or
we will be overrun with the cheap
pauper made goods of Europe How
much longer will it take to teach the
people the absurdities of protection
toe policy which taxes the many for
the benefit of the few the policy whiefa
allawsa manufacturer to sell goods in
Enrope cheaper than he does at home
the policy which l appeals to a mans
cupidity not his sense of right or
justice
The sawing off process was repeat
ed at the county jail again Wednesday
night butftbe caution used by Sheriff
Housh presented the escape of his
boarder the man who was brought
hero from Lakeside several weeks ago

At their meeting last Friday night
the school board elected Miss Mary
Shaughnessy teacher in our schools to
succeed Miss Calien who has resigned
Miss Shanghnessy is a Cherry county
teacher having taught in this county
for five years is thoroughly capable
and we predict that she will give excel
lent satisfaction to the patrons of the
school She is at present in Fremont
attending normal school
Tomorrow is the day when the new
government mail contractors take their

Jackson Brayton gave their many
friends a treat Saturday night in the
shape of a social hop on the second
floor of their new building About
25 couples engaged in the dance and
many of our more staid residents
looked on and seemed to enjoy the
fun almost as much as did the dancers
The music was furnished by the Val
entine Orchestra Messrs Laypoxte
Kay Granger and Stetter and com
fortable seats were provided for the
merry makers Partitions were plaoed
in the building Monday thus spoiling
the dancing floor
Last evening at the residence of the
brides mother on Hall street occurred
the marriage of C V Thorn and Belle
Calien Rev O T Moore officiating
none but immediate friends and rela
tives being present The groom is at
present connected with the Western
News and has bright prospects before
him while the bride has for several
years been a successful teacher in our
city schools After the ceremony the
couple were treated to a rousing old
fashioned charivari The Democrat
joins with other friends in wishing Mr
and Mrs Thorn a long and happy life
There are no Hobsons or Deweys in
this immediate locality but the writer
used to spark a girl in college named
Hobson and we had a female compos
itor in Edgar named Dewey Thats
close enough kinship to entitle us to
more than passing notice Gordon
Journal
Just see what a disadvantage it is
to be a young man We think of lots
of cute things like that but if we
printed em we would scandalize every
body run the risk of a divorce case
and probably get horsewhipped to
boot
Forward turn -forward oh Time in you flighty
Make me a gray headed husband tonight
Then I will write snappy items so cute
And wont care for any old crazy galoot
Whose wife or sweet daughter I used to spark
Fill up with ice xjream or take out or a lark
Ill laugh at the -youngsters aud about them joke
Being sure that none of them my face will
poke
Ill tell of my youthful and gay escapades
Take front seats at plays aud sticks in lem
onades
Miss trains if I want to or stay out at night
Do anything everything so I dont fight
Get flour on my chest or still worse a long
hair
