A memoir excerpt recalls a February day and a child’s Christmas like wonder with the Small Person smuggling bulging packages and a mailman delivering envelopes. Nostalgia follows for a time when a valentine box held quiet heartbreak and a child’s tender heart.
A man named Brown jokes with Potter about valentines at the stationer, revealing a playful quarrel tactic with his wife. The piece ponders Valentine lore, noting an old English French lottery method for choosing valentines and questioning whether fate assigned the right partners.
A historical account recalls Abraham Lincoln born in Kentucky but raised in Indiana. It notes his family’s move in 1816, the rough log cabin in Boonville where he learned early law, and how those experiences shaped the future president. A Dale picnic later visited Lincoln sites, marking Nancy Hanks Lincoln’s grave and relics at the farm.
An elderly man from Colfax Washington credits Deans Kidney Pills with ending decades of kidney trouble and back pain. The ad cites a 50 cent per box price and includes a Buffalo manufacturer address, plus a jumble of short items and comic scraps from a 1900s newspaper page.
