Mrs. R. A. Gipple of College
View , Lincoln , has been in the
city the past week stopping at the
home of Mrs. Shore and has solic
ited some business cards to be
placed on the back of letter heads
together with a brief write up of
Valentine. This will make a good
advertisement , going out to the
people in every letter written and
5000 people or more will doubtless
have placed before them the ad
vantages of our town and these ad-
advertisements.
The keepers of the sporting
houses around Valentine were or
dered arrested by the county com
missioners and brought before

fined upon their plea of guilty of
conducting a house of ill repute.
The commissioners have also given
instructions to the county attorney
to continue to prosecute these
keepers until houses of such char
acter are closed up and done away
with. It now remain'is' ' with the
officers of Cherry county to do
their duty as officers and as citi
zens. Will they do it ? We know
some that will do their duty. The
tax payers who are interested in
this movement will watch with in
terest and note those who shirk or
fail to perform a duty , and he who
weakens need not further aspire
to office in this county or anywhere
that this knowledge exists.
