VALENTINES.
BY PHIL n. ARMSTRONG.

VALENTINES.
 The rose is red,
 The violet blue,
 Sugar is sweet
 And so are you. An, dear school days while looking
 back Across the stretch of years While mem'ry wends the backward
 track boy and girl of long ago Where a little foot path twines Walking home at sunsets glow, Exchanging Valentines.
 If you love me
 Like l love you 1
 No knife can ctN
 Cur love in two.~ An, simple homely lines they were Yet our young hearts were thrilled And when l gave these lines to her With love ner breast was filled. Chap and gaudy they were made With rather rude designs But they answered for the part they
 played Those schoolboy valentines.
 Sure as the vine TwineS round the stump
 You're my darling
 Sugar lump. In later times one often yearns For those dear days now past The leaves in mem'ry's book he turns With trembling fingers fast. And when Saint Valentines draws near Always somehow he pines For the sweetheart of the yesterday And the good old valentines.

The New York Commercial asserts that artificial ice can be made in that city at forty cents a ton. If that is true it shows wonderful difference in the price of ice there and here, and if it is true we do not understand all the bother that is being made over the

Grovth of Theatre Bu.ine...

Times was" said veteran stock company actor who is staying few days in Montgomery when Mobile, Montgomery, Selma, Anniston and Tus- caloosa were the only cities in Ala bama that were visited by theatrical companies. Now there are at least thirty cities and towns in Alabama that support theatres or halls that have ample facilities for giving theatrical performances
 "This shows that the State has grown and that the theatrical business has developed. Some of the best compan- ies on the road play in Troy. Union Springs, Demopolis. Talladega, Gads- den, Huntsville and Decatur while the smaller companies find excellent pat ronage in Brewton, Evergreen, Green vile. Opelika, Tuskegee Eufaula, De- catur and other North Alabama towns
 Tt might surprise you to know that Tallassee is regarded by some of the minor attractions as a good point to play. It is a cotton mill town and they have a nice hall. The companies that so there never fail to do good business"
