much you'd save and how much more
enjoyment you'd get if you could be sure
beforehand that every cigar you buy
would be good one.
We have solved your problem by

of the best cigars made.
We know that by making this sTri-

not jeopardize its interests by misrepre-
senting qualities and leading the public
to expect better quality than is actually

ECHOES FROM THE CONVENTION &.
"P E o. has stood for almost
a half century for purity and
justice. Woman of today is not
the woman of yesterday-yes-
terday we were followers, to-
day we are the leaders of moral
reforms foy the home and ma
tion."
"Be lavish with your love.
Live in the midst of pleasant
thoughts"
IF we would only discard
our petty worries as we do our
faded fineries and relegate
them to the attic, where we
would overhaul them on clean
ing up days and then utterly
discard them, how much more
time we would have in our men.

CONSERVING THE
MONEY SUPPLY
POSTMASTER JACKSON USING Of
FlcE FUNDS TO MEET PEN
SION CHECKS.
In This Way The Currency is
Placed in Circulation
Here.

Postmaster Jackson is helping to
preserve the money supply in Column
bia to material extent The postal
authorities require the smaller post
masters in Middle Tennessee to for
ward all collections for stamps and
postal cards and all money
taken on money orders
to the Nashville repositories
in currency or specie. Formerly these
collections could be forwarded in New
York exchange and the money left in
the local banks, but exchange will not
be accepted now.
However, the smaller offices can pay
off pension checks with the money on
hand and forward these pension
checks to Nashville in lieu
of money. Mr.. Jackson has
been taking advantage Of this
privilege. Few people realize the
number Of Federal pensioners in the
county nor the amount Of money paid
out by the government here in the
way Of pensions. For the past few
days, Mr.. Jackson has cen paying
these pension checks at the rate OF
500 a day and will be able to continue
payment for week or more, as
many of these checks are not present
ed promptly or are paid by banks at
Spring Hill, Mt. Pleasant, Culleoka
or Lynnville and finally find there
way to the local banks. After arriv-
ing here Mr., Jackson takes them up
and pays the money to the banks.
