Carmel Baptist church, August 1 7th. It was his 76th birthday. His children, with out his knowledge, had arranged to surprise their father by bringing in dinner and inviting his kinspeople and a few friends to enjoy the oc casion with them. A long table was spread under the shade trees in the yard and in good old country style a hundred and fourteen gathered around and did full justice to the ex cellent dinner. After dinner Mr. J. Adger ?mith, the photographer of Easley, made pictures of the group. This being over the people were call ed together' in the house and around the piazza and divine services were held. Singing, led by Argus Looper, joined in by the great throng, read ing of the Scriptures by Rev, D., W. Hiott and' prayer by Rev. B. P., Mitchell, both of whom made short talks. Mr. Mitchell and Hiott were both former pastors of Brother I Looper's church at Mt.. darmel. Rev. Ben G. Field, son-in-law of Mr. Looper, offered the closing prayer. Not many dry eyes were seen after the services were over and the crowd dispersed, each going to their own Martyrs to Duty.

Extraordinary demands for Informa tion and assaistance are continually be ing made upon the Treasury Depart, ment, but seldom have the members of the department been more thoroughly helpless to comply than with a request fromi Copeland, Konsas. The letter asks for unfailing processes of locat ing hidden treasure and reads: Dear Sir: I wouldi like to get somife informnation in regard to youri Trensuire Lo'cating Jnstumen tht will iioente burice' f reflti re i.( cit., Cant a person ob'ta in thI Iistr mnents of you p~eople an d if so,, piegns, send ine a catalog an the, ,irculanr of themi and( please sendi me, nils. youir Treasury 11ook oIf liliden Tre.asures.

The only way to locate this treasure. uncoer it and make it of use to its owners and to the nation, is to inculcate in the people of this country knowledge of safe eand profit. able investment." Th'le savings securities of this gov ernment, issued first during the war and continued since that time, hiave done more to uncover hidden treasure and make it profitable and useful than all the divining rod-s and treasure maps, collected since the days of Cap. tami idd. The best instrument to secure trea'n.r:e that the writer of the letter could find are $1 Treasury Sa. lngs Stamps bought regularly every week. So he really went to the right shop for his information after all and the United States Treasury was able to supply both the information and the instrumeuts needed.

D. W. Hiott. SEEING THINGS. Somewhere on the Greenville Front. Tuesday, August 9th, 1921. Mr. (ary -Iiott, Pickens, S. C. Dear Gary: Upon picking up my copy of the Greenville Piedmont yes. terday evening I was very much sur prised to read that some one was slightly insinuating that you had at. tempted a "nature fake" over ir Pickens. Now, boy, don't you be one bit discouraged for you "je aint seed nothin" compared to wha1 some of these guys over about here claim to have seen. Your "horned snake" report is low wine to wha these fellows spit out for the nake< truth. Yesterday some of these met ropolitan tellers of tal.es, up around the court house, were telling of th strange and marvellous things tha they had seen in Greenville count and in (lear old Greenville. For ir stlance: "Yer know the most immenses sght that I ever laid my eyes on wa last SunaIay evening," began th slender sityfied guy with a cigarett held apropos between his inde: finger and thumb. "Yessir, las s o-emmo oem omo-e Some Our Dollar Da: believe, both from o tomers.
