EXTRAVAGANCE ANO CONCEIT The man who said that conceit was ac tho bottom of every extrava gance know a good deal about lni .man nature. Kew men would pay $t for a tie that did liol look as if it cost $1, and the factory girls in Con necticut who are buying $300 fur coats on installments out of a salary of $ 1 ? a week would care little for such coals it' tho only placo they , could wear them was In an asylum for Hie blind. A modern philosopher says,"I con- : e lude thal dissatisfaction ls a coin- ' mon human ailment, and that I might as well be unhappy with what I have i i s unhappy with what 1 can't a flo i d." Thousands of Americans are dis sipating I heir savings in extravagant purchases, purely through conceit. And it is truly a blind conceit a conceit which deceives no one but the extravagant ones themselves. When a man goes into a store lo buy a $1) bat which lie eau alford, and comes ont with a $lii hal which bas forced hint lo break into his sav ings, he does not Impresa the (derk who sells il or bis friends who soe him wear lt, bul ho injured them all and himself also. He has aided in diverting production from necessities to non-essentials, he has helped to keep up prices, and has withdrawn potential capital from possible usc in increasing industry. Kor himself ho has weakened bis defense against old age. sickness and loss of em- J ployaient, and depleted his offensive in the battle for sitcccoss. Failure to save is too high a price to pay for the pampering of conceit. Tho only safety against extravagance 1 lies in thrift and Having. Liberty ' Hoads.war savings stamps and treas- ' ury savings cert! Ilea tes may not I make a flashy show, but they are more expressive than any extrava- I gani possession thal money can buy. j They afford protection to savings, to the future and to character, and are sure roads to possession of the things really needed and desired. We have recently hoard several of our citizens who invested in war sav ings and thrift stamps state that they had "cashed In" on those sav ings. In no instance have wo gotten a reply to inquiry as to why these .savings stamps were sold that would indicate that tho exchange was in any way necessary. Kully DO per cent of tho money saved through the purchase of stamps* of various khuls calculated to build up a saving habit luis been thrown away within a few hours after the evidences of thrift and savings had been turned back to the post ellice ?ind cash taken In exchange. The object of our gov ernment the instilling of a spirit of thrift and saving -is being ruth lessly defeated by those who are at thc presen I Hmo needlessly "cashing in" their stamps. Don't quit saving. Von aro sure lo regret it later. INDIGESTION CANT STAY Stomach Pain,Sourness, Gases, and Acidity ended with "Pape's Diapepsin" Out-of-order stomachs feel line at ?mee!

John M. Hall Writes Con? corning Recent Visit an<l Reunion, Loona, Texas, Oct. 20. 10(1 i tor Koowoo Courier: Karly In August I decided to make a visit to south Carolina. Procuring a season round-trip ticket, I boarded the "Sunshine" at Jowett for .Seneca on the fourth of August, and an hour by sun tho next morning our train was crossing the Mississippi Uiver. Wo stopped for ono hour at Memphis and thou wore on our way once more to our old homo. Wo arrived in Atlanta on Wednesday morning about :i o'clock. Having two neph ews in Atlanta, I began to try to lind thom. Tho lady who attends to tho ira velors' aid, phoned up to his house and found Dr. A. D. Hull at home. Ile is enjoying a splendid practico as a specialist in tho treat ment of cancer. I remained ibero for a couple of days, and then hastened on to Seneca to see relatives and friends, and I met not a few of old friends and relatives. They did not know mo, nor did I know them. Walking up tho street at Walhalla I saw three mon standing together talking. I walked over to whore they woro and hold out my hand to ono of them nnd asked what his name was. and he said it was W. J. Stribling. 1 asked Mr. Stribling who a certain man who was closo by was, and ho told mo that was S. K. Dendy, whom I had always known and with whom I had gono to school in the days of long ago. I spent several days In Walhalla and then went back to Seneca. 1 attended tho Confederate reun ion ut Bounty Hand Academy, whore I li rs t wont to school under the tutor ship of Rev. H.H. Penny and to F.W. T. Cleveland. The old school house was gone and a new ono had been built in its place. Many of the old marks of my school-boy days were gone. We bad some line speeches from Hughs, Stribling and others. Then dinner was announced, and we had a sumptuous dinner, such as that community always affords and ! is famous for. Then wo began to renew obi friendships, and the time soon came when wo had to leave to visit relatives in other sec tions. I spent a while in Westmin ster, Toccoa and Franklin county, nnd then wont on to Atlanta, whore I again spent a short while with my j nephews. Hut 1 cut this visit shorter than I wanted to because of my groat desire lo visit Chattanooga, Lookout Mountain and Chickamauga j Park. ..My visit to these places was indeed interesting to me. As I stood on Lookout Mountain und viewed the many monuments I thought of the many brave men who died on those Heids. Then tho great world war came into my mind, and I thought of the many boys who died "over there. I never like to speak of the great world war, as I drank to the dregs of it In losing a boy in tho training camp in December of 1917. He died of pneumonia. Mr. Editor, as you know, I arrived home safely in due course of time, and having about finished my lotter to Tho Courier, I will say that I re linquish any further space that might be accorded me to Capt. S. K. Dendy, who writes so interestingly of his recollections of the past, and to X. H. Cary, who writes of the reminiscences of Old Pickens, which is also vory interesting to mc. I extend through you, Mr. Editor, my kindest regards to the pepole of Oconee, who, though I may bo far away in body, are very closo to mc. Respectfully, John M. Hall.
