Fair Treatment

Most reputable merchants aim to be honest-we
thing more than mere just and equitable selling so
many goods for much money. It means treating
a customer like friend by selling him goods that
means being polite attentive and trustworthy all
occasions. 1t means giving the patron the advan-
tage of an odd cent or cent profit when he is en-.
titled to it, Meaning all these things, 1t means US,
store not for one day seasons goods, but for
years and is the record of years that COUNTS so
we think uniform fair treatment of patrons has
entitled us to the golden opinions of SELLING just
right" that we hear Of every day.

2-4-4t

The following is the opinion of a we'll known druggist in Boston, Mass:
 Gentlemen-Replying to your inquiry relative to my experience of the Wells bach lights have nothing to say in their favor, and regret very much ever having adopted them. as they have been a per petual expense to maintain even in half presentable order, and l have failed to observe any appreciable saving in my bills, the consumption of gas having been equally as large as when passed through the ordinary lava tip.
 My opinion is that they are not practi- cal for stores where cold air is of neces- sity admitted for purposes of ventilation as the slightest draft of chilled air strlx- ing the already overheated chimney cracks it at once, and at the same time invariably breaks the mantle so as to necessitate a new mantle and glass, which means 90 cents each time.
 I have also found that the heat given off from these burners is intense, far more than gas passing through the ordi- nary burner. I have abandoned them entirely

ANOTHER THRASHER IN TROUBLE.
Arrival of Georgian Who Is Wanted for ;
 Grave Crime,

Silas Thrasher, white man, is at the city prison, held on a serious charge. He answers the description of man wanted at Rock Run, Ga, for the crime of rape, said to have been committed on a woman named Jones.
 Thrasher boarded the southbound Ala bama Great Southern train at Attalla last night and the conductor was noti- fled to hold him until arriving in Bir- mingham when he was to turn him over to the police. The conductor, on the ar rival of his train in this city, turned Thrasher over to Officers Brown and Whaley.
 The man strongly denies the charge, and says he has not been in Georgia within four years past. He claims to hail from Cherokee county, and says he lives ten miles from Centre.
