Love and Friendship.

The sending of valentine no longer
means proposal of marriage, but 1t
does mean a declaration of friendship.
The man who sends a valentine says
my best wishes!" And the girl who
receives 1t smiles and feels the hap
pier for 1t. 1t is just a bit of senti
ment, but surely very pretty one. ~
Cupid, too, is abroad, for with the
valentine there may go story of
love, and the meaning Of St Valen-
tines day, in all its primitive ardor,
may suddenly be present.
But st. Valentines day now means
more of prettiness and pleasure than
of love, for st. Valentine works, nova.
days, platonically as well as ardently.
And in sending valentine the young
man of to-day may feel secure, for he
does not say anything which he may
hesitate TO stand by.

LineoIn's keenness of Insight.

Abraham Lincoln's kindness Of
heart frequently caused him to be I'M
posed upon, but in most cases he sub
mitted TO imposition with silent
knowledge of the fact. He could be
as firm as rock, however, when he
thought that justice should be vindi-
Gated, and he often handled doubtful
cases with the crafty wariness of a
criminal lawyer. Moreover. he rarely
failed to flame into righteous anger
whenever insult was offered to his
person or his Office. A gambler, who
assumed for the occasion the role of
minister OF the gospel. was ciyilly
received by the keen-eyed President
when he called upon him; but, at
tempting to practice the fraud sec
ond time, he met with, reception lit

suggesting to naval contractor the
idea of propeller. The gambler did
not, for the twinkling OF an eye, sue
coed in deceiving Mr.. Lincoln as to
his real character. He was received
from the first as rogue, wolf in
Sleeps clothing, but his criminal
audacity went beyond the limits of
patient endurance-and so he was
also sent beyond the limits" The
eagle eye and the keen brain of the
great commoner were very capable in
picking men out Of the multitudes.-

Some Beautiful Gifts.

For bonbons, the smart shops are
showing jewel cases and powder boxes
in Vatican and Dresden effects, which
may be put to practical use when their
contents have been enjoyed. The most
striking paper boxes are the large
crimson hearts, finished on the top
with great bows of satin ribbon in the
same tint.
For flowers. the most popular novel
ties are the small automobiles IN pale
colors combined with white. They look
exceedingly innocent. but they will
absorb enough violets to strike terror

He is a man of brilliant attain ments. great ability. wonderful energy; and ripened by years of experience In public matters he IS easily one of the most influential men in Congress. In sea- son and out of season he has been at his post of duty, has met every demand made upon him by the people and he now asks at their hands a commendation of his course. With all due respect to the am- hilton and ability of Hon. Blbb Graves, who is to oppose him, The Courant de- sires to say that We favor the re-elec- ton of Col.

 Reform School at Camden.

Hon. A. A. Wiley is being opposed for re-nonination as candidate for Con- sress by Hon. Bibb Graves of Montgom- cry. The News recognizes Mir. Graves as splendid young gentleman, and who has done good service for his State and party. but it does not think he Is the equal of Colonel Wiley and in Congress could not hope to be able to in some years to do for his people what Colonel Wiley Is now, doing. We do not thing the people of the Second District are ready to turn Colonel Wiley out and put MT. Graves in just for change; should they do 50 It would be great and serious loss to the district and to the entire State.

The following clippings will show the opinion the press has of our Congress- man:
 Our Congressman. Conecuh Record.
 It is a source of much regret to The Record to see that Congressman Wiley Is to have opposition in the present can- vass in the person of Hon. Bibb Graves of Montgomery.
 We feel confident of the result. for there can be but one result. in "a case where one serves his constituency with such fidelity and ability as has Colonel Wiley and that is a flatterinR endorse ment from his people and a reelection. without knowing A4on. Bibb Graves. we can but feel that he has permitted his ambition to get away with his judgment in this instance; for we don't believe there is man in the Second District who can defeat Colonel Wiley at the polls. The Record is uRreservedly committed to the candidacy of Colonel Wiley. and we hope the people of Conecuh County will reward this faithful public servant by another overwheling majority.

What Be Will Do,

From Free Lane.
 MT. Graves proposes to amend the in- terstate. commerce law against the will of a majority of sixty, when he will be unable to secure recognition: traverse the Second District wiLll a system of public roads that would make the streets oi Paris look like piney woods trails in comparison; have a rural delivery to the home of every farmer. and if he shall not get mail, have an extra appropriation by Congress to make the carrier write letters to such citizens on extra pay-- not only guaranteeing the carrying and delivery of the mall, but actual letters for each voter; clean out Patsaliga and Pigeon creeks and make them navigable to the big spring in the respective hoi- lows from which these majestic waters commence to flow. have barge lines run ming six months of the year. so that each voter can take free trip to Pensacola, with his cotton bales checked as bag gage, and revel in gladness and glee all the year round in contemplation of the barges which will come again each re- curing season; and-but please excuse us while we laugh!
