XMAS MONEY
FOR YOU
Search Your Attic for Fortunes
in Old Confederate Envelope*
Among the old letters of many Soum-
ern families are hundreds of very rare
Stamps and envelopes. Many have been
found and sold for small fortunes.
Single envelopes have been sold for
as high as $2,000, and many have
brought upwards of $100 each. It
aouftds ‘dishy ” but it’s true. They are
valuable becal;i.' they are rare. And
they are rare, not because there are
only a few, but simply beaause most
of them have remained stored away and
forgotten, in old trunks and closets.
Make a thorough search through your
attic or store room for these old war
letters. Fortunes in rare stamps or
franked envelopes have been found in
old trunks which no one ever dreamed
contained anything of value. Keep the
letters if you wishv but send the en
velopes to Mr. Harold C. Brooks, Boa
224, Marshall, Micliigan, and he v(iU
Immediately write you, stating their
value. In sending them to him you are
not obliged to sell unless his offer meets
trith your approval. Anything not pur-
ebased he will return in good order.
Mr. Brooks, who is mayor of his city,
is a private collector and has paid
thousands of dollars for old envelopes.
Although the rare issues are especially _
-desired he also buys raanv of the com
moner kinds. Many people in this way
are getting Christmas money with very
little trouble and no expense.
The First National Bank of Marshall,
Mich., writes: “Mr. Brooks has been
. in business here for twenty years. You
will make no mistake when you recom
mend him to your readers as worthy of
the fullest confidence, both financially
and personally.”
Mr. Brooks states that there are so
many different stamps which are similar
in appearance he cannot quote values
from written descriptions, but muat see
the envelopes. There are, for example,
ten different Confederate government
stamps bearing the portrait of Jefferson
Davis, and many local stamps or
stamped envelopes are very much the
same in appearance. The same is true
of U. S. issues, the heads of Washing
ton or Franklin being used on different
stamps. Mr. Brooks does not buy loose
stamps, stamp collections, coins or Con
federate money. Stamps should not be
cut from the envelopes and no dates
written on. He is fully acquainted with
though life postmark

air issues even
may show no year date. Those espe
cially wanted are Confederate issues,
but he also buys U. S., Canadian,
Hawaiian, and certain foreign stamps
provided they are on the original en
velopes and mailed not later than 166S.
If envelopes are sent in a bunch
they should be carefully packed in a
cardboard box to protect them from
damage while in the mails. If you have
reason to believe your envelopes are of
special value send them by registered
or insured mail. If you have nd old
letters written during ~xi)r before the
Civil War, show this notice to your
friends—especially those whose fami
lies have lived in the same home for
several generations. Many old families,
oljr banks and law firms still have
stored away hundreds of letters, wait
ing to be burned or sold fof large
sums. Before destroying such envelopes
or folded letters investigate their value.
Mr. Brooks’ address is..as follows:

that they started giving him atten

Witherspoon has proven to be one

To Griffith and Kirven seem to go
the laurels this year. These two men
are receiving mentions every day as
all-state material and both bid fair to
get berths on the composite selection.
“Griff” has been truly a tower of
strength on his side of the line all

I. The Voyage (w. 1-20).
1. The Ship (vv. 1-6).
It was a vessel of Alexandria Balltlf
from Myrti xZ Tta, J-
2. The Company (tv. 1-2).
Two of Panl’s friends. Artstarchw
and Luke were permitted to go with
Mm. Besides these three there were
two hundred and seventy-three In the
ship (v. 37).
3. The Sto.m (vv. T-20).
The ship* made little headway on ac
count of unfavorable winds. Paul at
vised that they winter In Fair Havena
(w. 9-12). hut his advice waa un
heeded. The gentle south win#
celved them so they loosed from Crete
wily to be overtaken by the tem
pestuous wind called Euroelydon.
They did everything possible to save
the ship; they took up the boat which
was towed behind; they bound great
cables aroupd the ship to strengthen
!b for the storm ; they lightened the
ship by brln^ljig down from the masts,
and rigging everything that was super
fluous. and finally the* cargo and
tackling were thrown overboard. All
this seemed to he of no avail and all
hope of being saved was removed. It
seemed that wicked men and material
forces were combined to prevent the
great apostle from reaching Rome.
However, these very experiences were
overruled by God to bring good cheer
and salvation .to many on the way.
We should remember that tempestuohs
winds as well as soft breezes await
God’s faithful ones. The presence of
► storm does not prove that we are going
the wrong way.
II. Paul’s Serene Faith (vv. 21-26).
To a man who does not know God,
upon the failure of the sun and stars
to shine for many days, the fading of
all hope Is natural; but to the man of
faith, hope still burns brightly. God
Is just as near to His own in the midst
of a stormy sea as in their quiet homes.
Observe Paul’s behavior:
1. His Rebuke for Theif Failure t*
Heed His Advice at Fair Havens (v. 21).
This was not a mere taunt, but •
reference to the wisdom of his former
advice, urging them to give him g more
respectful hearing.
2. BWs Them^ Be o£ Good^ Gbeer
(v. 22).
He inspired them with hope.
8.' He Promises Them Safety
(v. 22).
Though the ship go to pieces, every
man s life should be saved.
4. The Source of His Information
(vv. 23-24).
The angel of God had revealed It
unto him. *
5. The Reason of Paul’s Calm Faith
(v. 23).
“Whose I am, and whom I serve.”
God can and will take care of His
property (John 10:28-29). Those who
have been redeemed 97 the blood of
Jesus are not their own, hut God’s.
III. The Ship’s Crew Ail Safe on
Land (vv. 27-44).
This was exactly as the Lord had
said. We cau rest assured that all
God has spoken will come to pass even
though There be a broken ship, brutal

Furman has once again been de

football. This is the second year, last

Newberry made a good showing in
the state race, considering the num
ber of state teams she played. How
ever, from present outlook it would
be impossible to declare Newberry the
state champions, because they do not
play enough state teams. Rhiel prov
ed himself the best individual football
player in the state, but his team did
not play Carolina or Clemson so it
cannot be said whether his team
should occupy the position they do or
not. .

from the fulfillment of God's prom
ises. the most Important part of this
section is the splendid sanity which
characterized Paul’s action on the way.
Three things marked his sanctified
common sense.
1. His Vigilance Detected That the
Sailors Had Planned to Escape (v. 30).
He knew how much they would be
needed presently, and at once took
steps to prevent their escape. He went
straight to the man In charge and
said, “Except these abide In the ship,
ye cannot be saved.” Why shbuld he
make ■ such a declaration when God,
had said that all shduld be saved? It
was bee a life he whs not one of those
foolish men who ignore human agency.
He practiced the truth that genuine
reliance upon God Is the all-powerful
incentive to human action.
, 2. He Got Them to Take a Sub
stantial Breakfast (▼. 34).
It was no time to talk to these mao
bom their souls when their bodies
.reeded Immediate attention.
3. He Gave Thanks to God (v. 35).
Tills he did In the presence of them
.ill. His prayer for that meal had
more effect upon the people than his
preaching would have had.
. The Men Who Succeed
The men who succeed best In public
life are those whs take the risk of
standing by their own convictions.—
