somewhat worn out and :ittle wcr-
ried last week about a good many
things, and so l felt that little out
ing, if but for day over home home
to see the old folk, would be relief,
and then 1 always love to go there
anyway, because I know that is one
place where l am always welcome and
where there is some one always glad
to see me, and then l can get some
of that optimism and good cheer
which has always characterized the
life and disposition of my mother,
and as I have aforetime remarked
even with her ninety years she is
younger than a great many persons
much younger in years whom l hap

On our arrival my sister, Mrs. A.
D. Zimmerman, said I was just in
time and that they were just ready
to eat dinner and that they had Big
fat hen roasted and it was fine and
l enjoyed the dinner. It was pleas
ure to see the old folk so well and
with such fine appetites. I spent three
or four hours at home and late in the
afternoon Mr.. Zimmerman drove me
back to Ninety Six in his Ford. The
road is fine and even the mile and a
half after you leave the highway is
good as roads go, little rough but
easy to drive over, and the highway
is one of the best in the state. l had
the opportunity to spend an hour or
two with my cousin, Mrs. 10 W. Tol-
bert who lives at Ninety Six, and an
other cousin, Miss Ruth Haltiwanger,
who lives with Mrs. Tolbert, and then
another cousin, D. Sidney Haltiwan-
ger. who lives near by came over and
we had a good talk about the old and
the new times, so as it turned out it
was all for the best. I also had the
pleasure of shaking hands with an
old school boy friend of the days
when we lived at the Aull hills. DR..
R. B. Epting of Greenwood who was
in Ninety Six to see patient. Doc
tor Epting is little gray but the
same jovial good natured and pleas
ant gentleman that he was as boy.
And he is prospering in his adopted
home of Greenwood and one of the
leading physicians of that good town.

Knowing that my brother, L. B.
Aull, delivers milk at Greenwood ev-
cry day which includes Sunday l
wrote him Saturday morning if it was
convenient / would be glad to have
him wait until the arrival of the train
and take me down home, thinking of
course that he would like to go also.
He met me and when / got down to
his home half way between Green
wood and Ninety Six he said he was
afraid he could not get through lit
tie of the road after you leave tbs
highway. So 1 asked him to drive
me down to Ninety Six and would
make some arrangement to get down
as l was bent on making the trip.
This he did. / secured the services Of
a colored man, Floyd Jackson, to
drive me down in buggy. He had
a good buggy and nice horse and
the weather was fine and Floyd was
entertaining so 1 enjoyed the buggy
drive. It took US about an hour and
a half to make the eight miles but
Floyd is a good talker and he told
me lot of things that I did not know
about that section, and some of the
things he said I saw demonstrated
before we arrived. But as he was
not talking for publication Of course
I will not divulge all he said Or for
that matter any of the conversation.

HOME
Copyright 1922, by Edgar A Guest.

Home Is the place where man can rest,
Home is the spot where lifes joys best.
Battle for glory and strive for gain,
Stand to the ache and the hurt and PAIN
Rise or fall, but at last your feet
Will come once more to the little street
And the wide swung door and the sheltering roof
Which are hatred and malice and envy-proof.
There, If only your heart is kind,
Faith that shall last to the end you'll find.
There is bravery, day by day,
Standing with you you fight your way;
There are the smiles that shall cheer you on,
Smiles that live when the worlds are gone,
There though all in the world revile,
Abide the trust and the praise worth while.
Under the roof where your babes were born
There is no corner that harbors scorn,
Search it through and there's near
Who views your toll with bitter sneer;
Never a doubling heart that stands
To mock the strength of your weary hands,
oh, the world may laugh and the world deride
But the eyes of your loved ones glow with pride.
Home at night with the setting sum-
Whether the battle be lost won
Home, away from the teeming crowd
And the joust for gain with its noises loud,
Back to the spot where the clamors cease
And the gentle rooms that are sweet with peace,
Home to laughter and mirth and bliss
And faith that is sealed with an evening kiss

FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY

The library is destined sooner or
later to pass through the stages re-
sembllng those that have been noted
for the public school Just as every
community is now required to main
tain a school, every community will
eventually be required to maintain a
library, to do which, and for like
reasons. II will be aided by state and
nation because ignorance on any age
level or anywhere in the United States
strikes at the very existence Of demOc-
racy," JOY Elmer Morgan, managing
editor of the Journal Of the National
Education Association, said in a re
cent issue of the Sierra Educational
News. He said further, In fact, all
the associations activity points to the
necessary and inevitable conclusion
a county library or It's equivalent,
In charge Of professional librarians
trained to make its work effective, In
every county In the United States. To
have compulsory education without
the free public library Is to build a
house without roof; 1t is to raise
the crop and neglect the harvest; It
is unthinkabie."

A Little Talk on Thrift.
BY ;. w. Straus. President Ameri-
can SocFety for Thrift.

can Society for hrift.
One of the most important phases
Of thrift practice is the preservation
OF health. Too often we think of
thrift only in terms of money or
material resources, but health thrift
is of equal Importance. This is true
because good health adds immeasur-
ably to ones efficiency and capacity
for capable work; also the days and
years of ones usefulness may be in
creased through the proper care of
ones physical being.
That the span of human life is.
steadily lengthening is shown by re
cent statistics, The Massachusetts
death rate is used as the basis of these
computations because such records
have been kept there longer than any
where else in the country. La 1889
the average length of life in that
commonwealth was 355 years. By
1855 it had increased to 40 years. In
1901 it was Ar years; in 1910, 52.2
years and in 1921, 55.2years. Nation
wide reports show that as the result
of title preventive efforts,
The average expectation of life has
been heightened four years during
The last eleven years.
1t has been officially stated that 80
per cent of the deaths in New York
State last year resulted from prevent
able or pOstponable diseases, thus
showing the possibilities that exist
tor the prolongatiOn of human life.
While much is being done through
various state and municipal govern
ments, these results can be greatly
enhanced by individual effort. AS
IS the case in financial matters, much
depends on attention to details and
incessant watchfnlness.
The old saying that ian ounce of
prevention is worth pound of cure"
has by no means Outliyed its useful
ness.
Thrift of health is matter upon
which much personal attention can
be centered to very great advantage.
II 10y living more simply and more
senslbly we can greatly increase our
daily efficiency and prOlong the years
of our usefulness il is the part of
good thrift 10 do So

Flats And Divorces.

One of the leading Illinois papers
says that an analysis Of 1880 divor-
ces in big city showed that 81 per
cent were among fat dwelIers.
Home must be more than a place
in which to sleep when other places
are closed.
The man or woman who has room
for flower bed, chicken coop and
a play space for the Riddles is pretty
apt to have little time or temptation
for other ailinities.
In nat, though, there's room for
only eating and the sleeping
times even the eating is done outside.
Amusement means movies, dance
halls, auto rides, everything except
staying at home. OF course. Old

now for engagement rings. An ex-

something 10 do with this, suggests a
correspondent, but there Is an even
more probable cause Living is be-
coming cheaper 1T Is always at this
time Of the year" said one engage

that spring Is the busiest time, but

Couples get engaged In summer, and
the rush for rings comes later. There
are more engagements, | believe dur
ing the dancing season. The dance IS
the means of obtaining more introduc-
tons to partners, but 1t provides little
else. Moreover, dancing is much more
regarded as a paStime and recreation,
apart from the filtration opportuni-
ties It offers, and modern dancing does
not tend to promote sentimental
friendships In the same way as the
