The Day We Celebrate.

Tais is Saint Valentines day.
 Saint Valentine was a Christian
 martyr, decapitated during 1hC
 Claudian prosecutions in Rome, A
 D, 270. The day is celebrated il
 his honorsand out of respect to his
 christian virtues. On Valentine
 Day love messages highly ornamental
 and artistic are sent out, and some times comicJ earicatures, designed
 to reflect upon the appearances and habits of the persons to whom they are addressed, arc sent anonymous ly through the mails. The custom is an old one and existed long before the time of St. Valentine. It's ori- gin has been traced to the pagans along with numerous other customs now generously practiced by Chris tian nations. The practice Of send ing Valentines seems to be dim minisfing year by year. According to an authority, postal returns indicate a great falling of in the. numbers of valentines sent during the past decade, one large office showing a decrease from IF, 900 to i5, 900 within five years. The send ng of caricatures has equally de- 'rcased and the yelled insults thus requently offered nave been credit 'bly reduced. The sending Of yalen- ines is a harmless folly which IS |ying out. 1

Hon. R. F. Poster.

The announcement of the Hon. R. F. Foster as a candidate for Rep resen tative in the Lower House of the next General Assembly of the State will be found in today's issue. Mr. Foster is no new aspirant for Legislative honors, although this is the first time he has asked the sui fraqe of the people of Jefferson county for this or any other office. Mir. Foster has four times been a member of the legislature, repre- senting Cleveland county in the House of Representatives during the sessions of 1883, 1887, 1893 aud 1895. In 1895 he was d candidate for speaker. and although he de- veloped strong following, was de- feated by Col. Colquitt. Durin g Speaker Golquitt's serious illness, Mr. Fosters friends in the House again pat him forward, this time for Speaker pro teoa, when he was again defeated by only few votes, Col. Thos. W. Newton, of Pulaski, being his successful opponent.
 Mr. Foster is a skilled and ex- perienced law maker and has ranked high in all the legislatures of which he has been a member. He was the author of the proposed amendment to the constitution providing for biennial sessions of the General Assembly, limiting one session to 60 days and the next to 40 days, and depriving the Assembly of the power to extend it's session beyond this limit. He successfully engin- eered his bill through the House, but it was defeated in the Senate. Had it been enacted into a law it would have saved tke people of the State many thousands of dollars. MT. Foster was an earnest advocate of all matters tending towards eeono- my in public expenditures, and sue ceeded in looping off many extrava gant items in the appropriation bills. When the Fellow Servants bill came before the House, he was  its abe and earnest champion and succeeded in passing it over all op- position. In the limits of this ar ticle we can only mention few of the measures with which the sub iect of this sketch has been promin- ently identified, therefore suffice it to say in a general way that during his four terms as one of the mem bers of the legislature he was at all times an earnest champion of the peoples rights and economy in pub lie expenditures.
 Mr. Foster moved to his place in this county over Q year ago, becom- ing ore of it's citizens, and is there fore qualified under the laws for the position to which he aspires.
 If the people of Jefferson county want an experienced legislator and a parliamentarian of acknowledged abilities to represent them in the lower house, they can do ID better than select Mr. Foster for one of theirl three Representatives. He possesses acknowledged skill in legis- lation. As lawyer he is familiar with the statutes, and as a farmer, is familiar with the needs and wants of the agricultural classes. The GRAPHIC commends his candi- dacy to the people, and bespeaks for him liberal consideration at the bon1e Oe +bo 1-nf o,.., of f(o oo,,,,

Parsonage Scorched.

About | o'clock Monday afternoon
smoke was seen issuing from the Pres
byterian parsonage. The fire depart
ment was promptly on hand and for a
time it seemed that the building was
sure to go up in smoke, but by hard
work and plenty of water the fire COM
pany soon got control Of the fire. Nearly
everything was carried out of the lower
story during the fire and the contents
of the second story were thrown from
the windows.
The loss is estimated on the building
at $3.50, fully insured. The parsonage
is occupied by Harry Fulton and his
loss will be $50, insured. The damage
is mostly from water and removal of
furniture.
Rev. c. p. Corser occupies room in
the parsonage, and was finishing some

room for few minutes with a lamp
burning he returned to find the room all
ablaze. The lamp is supposed to have
