VALENTINES EITHER
 BEAUTIFUL OR UNIQUE

In the matter of Valentines this year the beautiful and the unique are prefer red The cheap and coarse are not in vogue. St. Valentines Day is next Wednesday, and already artistic conceits are being widely displayed.
 The reminders of the season range in price from $l0 and sl5 for the hand-paint- ed celiuloid and satin creations to the little poster cards which sell for a cent each but which are frequently odd and effective
 Poetry rules supreme as it has in days of old. and the verse is all new and as varied as verse could be. There are several hundred varieties of Valentines and as many varities of verse. much of which is apt and of good literary flavor
 The little Dutch girl has come in for a large share of the pictures With her broken English she expresses her Valen- tine sentiment, her wooden shoes, blue dress and peculiar bonnet making quaint, genre pictures

In another of the Outcault pictures the little boy is crying and says to his sweet heart: T can't possibly be happy unless you say you will be my Valentine and a certain dog of more or less fame is look ing over the fence with the sage remark: Gee! I hope some one will be his Val entine."
 Very popular this year are the pretty books. handsomely illustrated by Howard Chandler Christy. Of these "Evangeline." An Old Sweetheart of Mine and His Version of It. are the most popular.
 The little negro has not been forgotten fwith his back against bale of cotton he sends this message to his dusky sweet heart:
 'Tm suttin' up now, for it's fine
 To have yo' fo' nah Valentine"
 And the return message comes to him from that chocolate drop of his: q lubs yo' deah, wid my hearts whole And feel jus as happy as a big sun
 flower"
 The message of the tough little girl to her equally tough "swell' lover is:
 stylish clothes and candies fine
 Give me and I'll be thine"
 And the tough kid sends back the mes sage:
 Nor snow, nor frost.nSr winter drear. Can chill my love for you. my dear
 The post cards are still the rage, as it were. and they are made in all colors. designs. shapes and sizes. Some are handsome and carry story of love. and others are comic and bear little witty savings and verse.
 sThe assortment of Valetines this year is probably greater than ever before, and the designs are new and up-to-date, The sale of Valentines is immensely large and 1t is expected by the dealers that to- day, and during next week the sale will increase ten-fold.

DATE OF PRIMARY

MEETING OF JEFFERSON COUNTY DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE COM MlTTEE IS CALLED FOR sATuR- DAY, MARCH 10.

The democratic executive committee of Jefferson county has been called to meet in the court house Saturday, March 10, at II a. m. for the purpose of fixing date for the holding of the primaries in this county.
 It was announced last night by Chair man B. A. Thompson that the meeting would fix the date and would name special committee to draw up the plans for the primary election. A second meet ing will be held later. probably some time in May, when the special commit tee will make its report relative to the plans it will have formulated
 The question: of a date for the pri- maries has been the cause of much dis cusson among the several candidates and their friends particularly on the part of those who object to the naming of a date different from that named by the state committee for the state primaries.

 I've have set out in detail the sub stance of each section of the act. It is clear that the constitutional objection un- der consideration Is not well taken. To see that this is so we need only to cite the following cases: ex parte James Black and the city of Unontown vs. ex rel Glass in manuscript; Law vs. state, 3S So.

 "The constitutionalty of the act Is as- sailed on the further ground that it is violative of section 45 article of the con- stitution which requires that each law shall contain but one subject which shall be clearly expressed in its title. The title of the act is as follows:

Previous to 1890 the share OF
