WEDNESDAY Feb. 13th, 1901.
St. Valentine's Day.
As our paper makes its appearand
litis week on the eve of this day, wt
think a few words on the subject wil
be of interest to some of our readers.
It is a festival celebrated on February
14th, and was established in Eng
land, Scotland and France about the
fifteenth century, was \ciy popuiai
among the upper classes and at mnnj
European courts. On St. Valentine's
eve spinsters and bachelors were accustomed
to meet in a social way, write
upon bits of paper the names of a number
of spinsters and bachelors of their
acquaintance, throw them into a basket.
and then draw them mil nne at n
time, care being exercised that each
should draw one of the opposite ^<6;,
the person thus drawn being the
drawer's valentine. ?
The festival was introduced Into
America at an early day, hut its oh
seryance has since undergoue material
change, and is annually becoming less
and less general, at present being limited
to fiien Is exchanging anonymous
communications with each other, the
same being made in verse or verses
referring ton variety of topics, the
subject being ab-o illustrated by cuts
of an amusing or ntimen'al character
"KIM) IY011DS."
We apt ret ia'e '.he following letter
f!< m Iloio l! u. A. T. Lever. At the
? imaa.i ~ j iiioa y election Mr. Lever received
the largest vote ever cast for
one man in Lexington County. His
, ' m jtu- (,'oneral Assembly is a
ri we feel ^afe in saying
that be will receive the endorsements
of bis < cn-1 i 1Mr. Levi-r 'i? also
the Private Secretary of Congrt s-nian
S:< kes. It seems that he manages
