TEN YEARS.
Ten years : ago we entered the
newspaper field , purchasing this
.
paper of Robert Good April 23 ,
1900 , and a week later began the
publication which we changed
from the Western News-Democrat
to THE VALENTINE DEMOCRAT.
,
We have been with you ever since.
We entered upon our work a
young man. full of ambition'
strong of sinew and of determina-
tion , but "years steal fire from
the mind as ' vigor from the limb , "
and we may be toned down or
geared a lifole lower than we were.
Times have changed some in
the last ten years. We find that I
our dollar doesn't buy as much as
it did and we don't get enough
more of them to make up the dif
ference in purchasing value. Ex-
penses are higher. We are all
making more and spending more
than we did ten years ago. Per-
haps more greedy than ever and
ready to chase the almighty dollar
a little faster because we bpend it
quicker.
There has been numerous chang-
es in Valentine. Many of the old
.
timers whom we regarded as fix-
tures are gone. Some dead , oth-
ers- moved away. Those who are
here that were here are growing
older , richer , better and better .
looking their friends think so- '
even'"lhough their hair is ' ' being"
tinged with grey as the numerous i
frosts have settled upon them. i
Yes , we all have frosts occasional-
ly. It's not all sunshine and rain ,
nor spring time and flowers. The
grey heads are whiter and the
robust are gradually stepping
shorter and slower. We can see
it in them as in ourself and it re -
minds us often - k'how fleeting is
this life ! " A scramble from the
cradle to manhood and then a mad
race to the grave. Every day we
see men rushing along as though
the end was in sight and they ,
hurrying lest it should be gone
when they arrive. Aye , aye-
Too soon the mantle \vill be cast ;
Upon ( surviving working tools ;
Too soon , when we shall breathe
our last ,
As breathless then this fever cools.
All through our short , but stormy
life ,
We , like a demon hurrying on ;
Never contented in the strife ,
Still hurrying and soon are gone.
But to return to our story before
we get too far-up in the air we
want to say that there is i some en-
joy me nt or pleasure ' even in writ-
ing for a newspaper. Though
we're in the mad rush right along-
side the rest of you , we try to
have a good time as we gOlalong-
playing checkers , chess ond other
games , and if our summons should
come sooner than we expect to
depart from here we would like
to have time to write a friendly
adieu to all our stanch and loyal
friends. We can't promise that
we'll send back an occasional let-
ter from our last resting place ,
but we'll say a few things while
we're here and if a call comes
sooner for us than you , remember
us kindly. We . may nftt be here
another ten years. : The best of
our life is behind us , and , like an
old wagon or machine , the breaks
and bends come oftener now and
economy would say "throw the
old machine in the fence corner"
to avoid the expense of repairs , .
and loss of time while out of use.
Ten years we'vejaeen . with you
every week. Though these years
may have have told more - heavily
with , Us than , some tff you . in ap I
. . .
pearances . there is none who can
. . - . .
say what he will do tomorrow.
The days have not been all dark
and' dreary. While we've been
growing old together we've form-
ed friendships that draw us closer
to each , other.
To the numerous readers of this
paper we want to thank you for ,
your kind words and support '
in the past /ten years. Though ;
our time with you now may be I
short . let us have pleasant recol-
lections of the years we've boen
together. Though may go else-
where these . friendships will ever
be remembered. e know l of no
better people than those we've
met in the past ten years.
During the next few months we
hope to see or hear from each one
of our subscribers. Write us
something that we can put in the
paper. Let's have a love feast
and everybody say something ,
Yours truly , .

Debate
Valentine7Gordon
The Valentine-Gordon high
school debate drew a large house
and the arguments were ably pre-
sented by both sides. Gordon
won--by twenty points as will be
seenby the following table which
shows that both sides did admir
ably : : : .well : -

Tffre'e . Judges gave ' The foregoing
decision , showing that of a possible
900 each the debaters were- high
in standing and the debate close.
E M. Kendall principal of the
Gordon school , and ] : : Miss Isabel
Jacobson accompanied the debat-
ers here , arriving on the evening
train Eriday night , and were met
and taken to the home of \ 'lr. and
Mrs. L. C. Sparks where they
were entertained until their return
home. This form of entertain-
ment for the . young folks might
well be copied by our state uni-
versities instead of the foot ball
games that are given so much
prominence.
' Interspersing and preceding the
debate numerous high school yells
were given which distinguished
the entertainment from the usual
and made apparent the interest
each felt in their particular class.
Recalling our variety
When we attended school I , , .
The literary society
In weather fair and cool.
The spelling match and spelling
down ,
Upon each Friday eve ;
Made . smiles change places with a
frown _ ,
And lonesomeness" relieve.
Noons and recess we played town
ball
With good old hickory bat ,
And very well do I recall
The days of "two old cat. "
Those days are gone and boys are
now
In better schools I say ,
We like advancement and we vow
They'll see a better day. ;

We pay the highest cash price
