James Hudson was in town on
Washington's birthday and handed
us another § in advance.
Checker tournament Friday and
Saturday. Headquarters at Chicago
cage House. Come and get ac
quainted with each other.
THE VALENTINE DEMOCRAT
wants a boy to learn the printing
business. Good opportunity for
a bright young man to learn a
trade.
Henry Brown was in town last
Monday and called at our office to
visit. He has recently had an of
fer on his farm down the river
and thinks he may sell out.
Frank Todd of Belle Fourche ,
S. D. , is visiting his uncle , Grant
Boyer , in this city. He will go
down to Sparks and visit his par
ents , H. Todd and wile , before re
turning to the Hills.
James Smith and family have
moved to town and are living in
the Carey residence. Jimmy sold
his farm a few years ago to Jens
Thomson and had been living on
his daughter's farm which she sold
recently.
Don't forget the democratic
mass convention Saturday at two
o'clock p. m. , at the county court
house. Those who desire to go
as a delegate to Omaha next week
should be on hand and make your
wishes known to the people.
W. G. BallaVd was in town
Tuesday and is not looking real
well. He has been troubled with
a cold or grip for several days and
is staying in Woodlake to doctor
up and came to Valentine on busi
ness and to get some medicine.
Last Sunday was a beautiful
spring day , warm and sunshiny ,
and lots of people were out walk
ing about town and down to the
fish hatchery. Quite a number of
Kooseveltians were out with their
aaby carriages. Lots of fine days
this winter.
There will be a silver medal con
test held Tuesday evening in the
M. E. church at S o'clock. A
good program is promised , con
sisting of music , dialogues and
five girls contesting for the silver
medal. A general invitation is
extended to the public. Admis
sion 10 cents.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bray ton
took their son Donald to Omaha
Tuesday to have his tonsils treated
or operated upon. They had be
come so enlarged as to cause diffi
cult breathing and especially when
affected by a cold his condition
appeared serious. They are ex
pected home Friday.
At a meeting of the base ball
fans in this city a few days ago it
was decided to raise money by
subscription to employ a pitcher
this coming season. I believe
they claim that a good pitcher can
be obtained at § 80 to § 100 per
month and the boys think they
can keep him busy playing ball
§ 500 or § 600 worth. That's lots
of ball for a small town but hit's
sport if we can stand the strain.
Some are inclined to the belief that
we could afford to admit that we
are playing out of luck until some
good ball pitcher could be induced
to locate here in business or to
work for some one who could
spare him about half the time to
play ball , but the enthusiasts say
different and want a pitcher to be
! on tap all the time and ready to
play. Considerable . money has

i Genuine Tigers
We have on display in our window this week a bunch of genuine
tigers , not the ordinary kind but the latest we could obtain from
the famous establishment of Keith Bros. & Co. , Chicago , 111.
Each one of these tigers carries a price card in plain red figures
and is valued from $1.50 to $3.00 , in any size you want. They
are all the 1908 variety and present a pleasing and novel ap
pearance which belongs only to this special kind of tiger. We ft *
guarantee perfect satisfaction to every purchaser of these ' new-
spring tigers and should there be any growl from either you or
the tiger , we will gladly refund your money.
Take a look at them.
W. H. Carter of Cody was in
town Monday on business.
Rev. Father Leo M. Blaere went
down to Ainsworth last Saturday
to officiate at the funeral of Mrs.
A. W. Scattergood , who died Feb.
20 , 190S. A. M , Morrissey of
Valentine and Arthur Mullen of
O'Neill represented the O'Neill
Council of the Knights of Colum
bus , of which order the deceased
was a member.
From the interest and inquiries
shown and heard regarding "The
Girl and The Stampede , " which is
to play here next Monday night ,
they will have the banner house of
the season. The show-going people
ple of today enjoy a good laugh
and from all accounts "The Girl
and The Stampede" is filled with
humorous situations and witty
dialogue. The play and company
is said to be the strongest visiting
Valentine this season.
Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Hornby and
son departed Monday morning for
Biloxi , Miss. , where they expect
to spend the remainder of the
winter. Mrs. Charles Sparks and
daughter are there visitng and so
journing this winter and they hope
to escape the severe and chilly
north winds which were so com
mon last winter , though this win
ter has been very mild thus far.
We cannot hope for better winters
here than this but they decided to
go last Christmas when C. C.
Tackett predicted a cold January
and February and the illness of
Tom's little boy prevented them
getting away sooner.

It will soon be time to elect new
members for the town board.
>
There will be three vacancies to
fill by the expiration of the terms
of office of three members , as we
understand it. The regular terms

ton expire , and also that of W. S.
Jackson who was appointed to fill
vacancy by the resignation of L.
N. Lay port.
Who will you have for new
members ? Will it be the same
board re-elected , or do you want
some change ? Among the avail-
ables who would make good of
ficers , aside from the present in-
cumbentsr"and who also would run
well at the election , are mention
ed the following persons :
E C Davenport L C Sparks
G E Tracewell G A Chapman
J H Quigley T C Hornby
T here are perhaps others
who would be satisfactory persons
and who are property owners and
business men and take consider
able interest in the management
of our city. Come , let us reason
together.
U
