THE VALENTINE DEMOCRAT , i
- ! (
Ben Lovejoy called on us yesterday -
day while in town. His father \
C A. Love joy and his boys have <
a fine ranch , 15 to 20 miles south (
of town , and put up 2000 tons of ]
hay each year of which amount \
they sell each year 300 to 400 tons , i
The weather has been fine this (
winter , excepting a severe cold
spell which occurred January 24th (
and has been cold most of the time
since , though there are warm days
and cold days in succession. The s
cold days seem to be the most numerous - i
erous and they seem colder too (
just after a real warm day. Some i
snowhasfallen.but not enough 1
for sleighing nor to cover up the i
range. .
The Valentine Bottling Works

Collins.
E.H. Bohle and family departed
for Bassetfc last week where Mr.
Bohle opens up a stock of general.
merchandise. During the time Mr.
Bohle was in business in Valentine
we found him fair and courteous
in his dealings , a good citizen and
a good business man whom we re
gret losing. The people of Bassetb
wall find Mr. Bohle and family to
be good people and THE VALEN
TINE DEMOCRAT takes pleasure in
recommending them.
A special term of court was held
last Saturday by Judge Westover
and the following cases disposed
of : "W. R. Boddy was released
upon an affidavit from Bee Moffitt
thakBoddy had not struck her over
Lhe head-alkali--and that she-had-
testified to this because she was
if raid that Valentine citizens would
send her to the home of the feeble
minded. There was not sufficient
3vidence to hold Boddy after this
affidavit was made and he was ac-
30rdingly discharged. Adi vorce
was granted Mrs. EmmaSchlueter
from Andrew Schlueter. Geo. L.
Hastings pleaded guilty'to robbing
the depot till of $19.60 and was
sentenced to 18 months in the pene-
tentiary. Judge Westover re-
burned to Rushville Saturday night.
John Hittle , of Penbrook , a good
Did timer in Cherry county , called
Wednesday while in town and paid
mother year's subscription in ad
vance to THE DEMOCILVT. This is
Lhe way of the world ; some men
ire always paid up in advance and
3arn well the position they occupy
in life. They'll meet any neigh
bor more than half way on any
fair proposition while others are
Iragged'along as an acquaintance ,
is a friend or in any position they
may occupy ancl always expecting
bhe long * end of the bargain or
they'd kick over the traces. We
want to beg Mr. Hittle's pardon
for speaking of the other fellows
in the same breath .or the same
irticle. Mr. Hittle is growing old
ind cannot expect .to live to see
mother century but when he has
finally laid aside his hoe and plow
for the last time and departs this
Barth he'll not leave behind him
iny unpaid bills to torment himin
the next world and" it is the wish
of his friend who pushes this pen
cil that his remaining days will be
made brighter and more cheerful
than in the past. The same wish
to all the good old men of our ac
quaintance. ,
