VALENTINE DAY.
1t is Loves Triumphant Holiday
When Cupid, Little God of
Love, Reigns Supreme.

Next Monday. February II, is
St. Valentines Day.
St. Valentine is emphatically
the patron saint OF lovers, and as
such has received the oblation
OF centuries. He was priest OF
Rome. and was martyred by first
being beaten cruelty with a club
and then belfeaded, during the
reign OF Claudius II in the city OF
Rome about the year 210.
The curious ObServances which
are hallowed by the memory of
St. Valentine began early in the
third century, when he became
identified with this great festival
and elected its patron SAINT be-
cause Oh his power in mitigating
the quarrels OF young people and
making their love affairs run
smoothly.
After he had met his tragic fate
the young people mourned him
and met secretly each year to pay
homage to his memory. On these
occasions they presented each
other with little love tokens
which they called St. Valentines,
and from this custom February
II. has reached its present popu-
larity and general observance.
thus making the anniversary of a
tragic death day when love de-
mands special offering and
fancy is free to play in comedy
and caricature. 1t is loves trium-
plant holiday. when Cupid. the
little god of love, reigns supreme,
and is busy sowing his mischiev-
Gus darts. while St. Valentine
holds the winning cards.

Steam DistiIlatiOn
For Turpentine Plant
First Steps Taken Toward Estab-
fishing Great Distilling
Plant At Valdosta.

Valdosta, Ga. Sept. 10.-The first
steps for the establishment of a
great turpentine distilling plant ope-
rating under the patented Pittman
system of steam distillation, we're
taken at meeting of the Valdosta
board of trade last night A company
of outside capitalists has been FORM
ed for this purpose, and with the
addition of a little local capital the
establishment of the plant in this
city is assured The heartiest en-
couragement of the plan was given
by the business men at the board of
trade meeting. The Pittman system
of steam distillation not only obtains
from the deSpised pine stump an
extra grade of spirits of turpentine,
but a number of other high-grade
products. One of these is a cOmbi-
nation oil and varnish, which, when
applied to the BLACKBURN and other
swamp woods turns them into high
grade hardwoods which vie with
expensive imported mahogany, wal
nut and finer woods. Samples of pine,
cypress, and blackgum which had
been treated by the Pittman process
we're exhibited at the board of trade
meeting.

LEAHY LAssoES HoME-sEEKERs.
Of course, that officer that comes
most in contact with the travelling
public is w. H. Leahy, the genial
and gigantic General Passenger
Agent. Ihave known him ever since
he was chief clerk" to the courteous
w. B. Denham, of the Coast Line
With sort of fascinating interest l
have watched him climb by sheer
force of character and towering abll-
ity to his present position of power
and Influence in the railroad world.
He is proving himself now a prac-
teal statesman, as well as railroad
man. With rare tact and wisdom
he is reaching out into the cold and
crowded North and Middle West and
planting a staple class of homeseek-
ers along the lines Of the A. B. 4 A.,
especially in that section, where the
road originated, known as the Wire
grass Country.
Speaking of this result his judic-
ious advertising effort, Mr.. Leahy in
an able article on The Turn of the
Tide" in John w. Green's enterpris-
ing magazine, The WiregraSS Coun-
try" says:
Georgia, the Souths greatest cot
ton State, has very nearly, if not
quite, held its own this season re-
gardless of the general shortage
everywhere. Her soil is so wonder
fully adapted to the production OF
almost everything raised in our coun-
try, that, with her great seaportS,
through which her choice products
are handled to coast-Wise cities and
directly to foreign countries, with
transportation lines penetrating the
very heart of the State, it can be
readily conceived that this favored
section, in welcoming to her midst
the home-seeker and investor, in re-
turn affords superior advantages
from every standpaint.
And the home-seeker from all
sections of our great country has
caught the cue and is coming. He
has heard of the great WiregrasS
Country and day by day our inquiry
increases; month by month the tide
is swelling. Within less than six
months, we have noted more than a
hundred and fifty families settle
along our lines and the older lines
doubtless are getting their share. |
believe that if the towns ond coun-
ties, can be urged to do proper ad-
vertising, the Wiregrass section will
settle ten thousand families from
other sections before the first of jan
uary, 1911"
A splendid colony from Ohio has
been settled in Ware County and a
large colony of Jews is to be planted
in Pierce.
Speaking of this colony, The Wire
grass Country says:
Pierce county is to have Jewish
colony, according to reports, $4,000
acres having been purchased in
that county for the settlement 1t
is stated that the settlers will be
gathered from the large cities of the
United States and brought here to
till the soil. Rabbi Levy, who is a
Georgian, is engineering the enter
prise, and he has selected wisely in
respect to land and locality, as there
is nothing better in the Wiregrass
Country than Pierce county. And
Pierce is to be congratulated if this
colony materializes, for the Jew is a
law-abiding, Industrious citizen
wherever we find him. Where the
wireerass now encumbers the ground
he will make luxuriant with food
