ST. Valentine is called the patron
saint of lovers, and the 14th of
February in each year is the day
set apart for the celebration. In
unique and appropriate manner tho
children and young people Of Union
carried out the custom which has
been handed down for many gene
rations. The valentines, so coyly
and shyly written and read, tells its
tale of love, ambitions, hopes, fears,
land doubts, and there has been
many real love match and mar
riagc grown out Of a simple little
valentine verse Of prose or poetry
In recent years, however, the scnti-
mental spirit has been somewhat
ovcrshadowcd by the spirit and dis
lposition to make fun. by sending
comic and sarcastic pictures, verse
land prose in a spirit of fun and
often of revenge.
The school children have caught
up the idea Of this way Of fun max,
ling through the medium of the val
entinc, and ny this they lose the
sweet, original love making way OF
olden times. St. Valentines day
should be day Of Joy and gladness
a day in which mercy, love, peace

THE DOG TAX.

1t would be interesting to know
whether or not the auditor in his
rounds taking tax returns is getting
full return OF all the dogs in the
county. II there is any one piece
OF property man is more reluctant
about paying tax on than anything
else it is his dog. Iet he is equally
reluctant to part with even trifing
worthless dog. As the money re-
allied from the dog tax goes to tho
school fund, the Auditor should
look sharp, that every man puts in
his return the exact number of
dogs he has on the place whether
the dogs belong to him, his children
or any other member Of the family.
In Pickens county the auditor re-
ports eight thousand dogs on the
tax returns, we are of the opinion
that Union county can beat that
number by several thousand, and
il all the dogs in Union county be
put on the tax books this year, the
school fund will he swelled consid-
erably, in fact twill 80 supplement-

Kind words cost nothing, when
spoken they cheer the path of life,
they drive away sadness and put in
its place chcerfulncss and Joy.
They take many burdens off of the
human heart. They Tighten the
cares of the day, and make other
affairs go on more smoothly.
The tongue of kindness is full of
love, pity and comfort. Be not
saving of kind words and acts,
kind words are like the dew upon
the tender plant, falling gently
upon the dropping heart. They
soothc its woes. Kind words are
like jewels in the heart, not to be
forgotten but perhaps to cheer, by
their memory, a long, sad and
drcary life.
Speak kindly at night, for before
dawn some loved one may have
filled his or her space of life, and it
will be too late to ask forgiveness.
Speak kindly at all times; it en-
couragcs the down-cast, it cheers
the sorrowing.
Always leave home with kind
words, for they may be the last.
Speak kind words around the fire.
side, especially. They arc Jewels
beyound price and arc powerful to
heal the wounded heart.
Kindly efforts are not in vain.
Some of them will fall on good
ground and cheer some sad heart.
BE kind to animals and they will
return it by loving you and by be-
ing gentle. So always speak kind
words and do acts of kindness.
