'()fi have 1 heard both youths and
: virgins say,
Birds choose their mates and couple
to this day;
But by their flight I never can di
vine
When I shall couple with my vale./
tine.
When others abuse us it is well
to consider the class of people they
most admire, Such reflection often
times makes us bear the abuse with
contented cheerfulness.
Very few people go through with
the old form of valentine scuding,
and there is litile use, then, for the
“display of the fancy colored paper
“with the pretty verse within and fig:
‘ures done ia fancy paper work upon
the outside. But ever so many peo
ble who have not permitted them
seivey to grow hard and unsentimen
tal love to remember the day by
some little token, to indicate that
St. Valentine has left traces of his
love in their hearts.
Do not, then. despise . the .lin_lq
bit of sensiment which promts peo
ple to remember each othet on Val
‘entine’s day, because of all the fes
tivals of the year it is the one which
plays most sweetly upon the heart

Where It May Be A Benefit
The high cost of hving which is
creating such a furore at present
may ultimately prove a benefit in
one or two directions, even if the
soarmg prices do press unusually
hard just now on people of limited
incomes.
It is intimated that many people
who left the counery for the city and
who have been living a sort of shab
- by-genteel fife on a small salary
every since, are now going back to
the country life which they onght
never to nave lelt, If they do then
there is good hope that most of
them may bezome producers and do
a good thing for themselves and
the countiy,
A second benefit will result if the
higer cost of living will but teach
People to be more economical. The
abundance of our natural resources
and of prosperity have made us, as
anation, estravagent in living as i
other things. Many families never
live within their income, not becaus
they copsume too much at their
meals, but because they waste g 0
much food which, if properly utiliz.
ed, would make many a plenliful‘
meal. Financially this did not so
‘much matter when price of meat,
e:g_gs—tnd other foods were sow, but
it matters a good deal now that pri
wes np. Itis atrite bui true saying
that a fireuch family can live com
fortable on whatan Ameician family
throws away, Of course there are
many families waick are modets of
wise economy, but in general the

e,
Uhristian Liberality,
Christian liberality, or paying to
God what we owe, was the subject
on Which Rev. [. R. Keliey, pastor
of the Methodist Church at Folkston
preached last Sun<day at the morn
ing service. The text used is ‘~und
.n Malai; and Ist Timothy ¢€B ing
ye all the titles into the storeh usec
that there may be meat in mine
house, and pruvé me now herewith,

not open you the windows of Heav

chat there shall not be room enough
to receive It”—Mal 3, 10. “Jor
the Scripture saith, Thou shalt not
muzzie the ox that treadeth ou! tne
corn. And, the labourer is worthy
of hig reward”—lst Tim. 5, 18,
The subject ot tithing is neglected
by preachers and teachers and ‘
there are many who do not knom‘

we really owe God. Ged foresaw

our income of SSOOO tor there is
more than five times as wuch left
and the value of agift is measured
not by the amount given but the
anount left. I'he greatest gift ¢iva
en was the two mites because there
was nothing left. Not only is the
christian to give one tenth of his in
come, put the skeptic, atheist and
infidel, for God 1s no respecter ot

’Gml claims one seventh of a man’s
time and one tenth of every dollar
that He permits to come into his
hands. so as sure as we live, God's
promige is tiue. DBring the tithes,

Tithing was always a religious
act, The tithe was considered holy
It was counted as vn act of wor

Will a man rob God? one tenth
of income, and one seventh of time

Master as he says: “If ye know

The Legend of St, Valentine,
~ Perhaps you have heard the legend
of St Valentine, but if you have not
here it isin as smald a rutshll as
such a saint couid be well condense
cd: St Valentine lived long ago, An
emperor ruled him, and the emper
ot wlose name ‘vas Claudiug, be
came jealous ot 'S¢ Viicntive or Fr.
Valentine as he was then called.
And one day Cladius cut Fr. Valen
ape’s head off andd banished his re
uiang, so that nobody should know
hat e had Leen bebeaded,
““Now why did Claudius do this?”
you ask. Well, he did it because Fr.
Valentine became so great a favor
ite with yonng people that Clandins
was not in their affections at all.
““But how did Valentine make him
self such a favorite?” you still query
Why, how indeed? How do you'sup
pose? How does any man or woman
eitter for that matter, become sos
id with young people? Why, by
helping afong their love affairs, to
be sure. Now Fr, Valeatine was a
born matchmaker, and he was a)-
ways busy making matches. If he
saw two young people looking at
each other each other with sheepish
eyes, he cast his toga over his head
and sat still, ncver stirring for five
minutes.
And so Fr. Valentine got himself
disliked by the emperor Claudius,
and after cfandius had cut his head
off the young people canonized him
and upon the good old saint’s birth
day would exchange nttle love to
kens, just to keep his memory green
The people who had known St Val.
entine when on earth told their cnil
dren about him in after years, and
their children tofd their children’s
chifnren and so it has core down
to us through many children of
children,
A Settled Question.
It is now a settled question, as o
whether- or not a new Methodist
Church will be built in Folkston.
Now as our people have come to
gether and said that we will build a
Three or Four Thousand dollar
brick or stone church, let each and
all of us remember that it is our
duty to help 1n the work, and that
such a building will be a credit to
our town, and what every citizen
will be proud of. Should therc be
even one, or more who are against
the building of it, remember that
the ola church is among the poorest
buildings in town — when it snouid
be the best, and is cntirely to one
side of town, and for us to be so
careless, and not keep a decent,
house of worship, snows how little
we care about the progress of God’s
Kingdom, To have a nice church
shows that God is honored by our
peop’e. Our people say that we will
have a decent church and if it is
said n the rigat spirit, God is with
us, and we shall have it, for He
‘lbr()lnlSCS it, and promises to go all
}lhv way and declares he is able for
levm'ything is His —the earth and
‘the fullness thereof.
[t may be that some are in favor
of the Church remaining where it is
now located, but as the majorty
wants a new one buiit in the center
of" towp so let the minority bow
submigsively to the will of the ma
jority and remember that *‘in unity
there is strength.”’
Now let all our p2ople be of ore
mind and one accord and soon we
will have a building an honor to
God, and a credit to our communit{
The Country Editor.
Perhaps not a week passes in
the humble but useful and pa
triotic career of the country editor
that he doesn’t encounter the cold,
reproachful visage of som= fellow
citizen’s name didn’t appear among
the “‘personals” in the last issue of
the paper. The untortunate editor
did s best to make a note of ’em
all, coming and going, but with
very many other things to think of
and do, he unintentionally omitted
one or more, and the omission is
instantly set down to intentional
neglect and purpose to slight. In
this conection the following from
the Western Publisher is very much
to the point: :
“The editor of a newspaper is
often accused of leaving out cer
tan items of mews purposely, be
cause of a dislike ot the person to
be mentioned, or form prejudice or
some other cause. Thisis a ] bosh.
The editor Las something fike a
miltion different things to think of
in connection with the issue of one
paper, and it is not surprising if he
misses an item occasionally or some
time forgets one whica has been
calfed to his attention. Nine our
of ten people you ask for news
items will tell you they cant think
