Columbus, Ga, Aug. 2.-Columbus
like Atlanta, now has its milk prob

pressed the opinion that much milk

be.
Instances were quoted, where COWS
belonging to nearby dairies were not
provided with pure drinking water. but
drank from stagnant ponds. The
board resolved itself into A commit

to Council that a milk ordinance be

Abyssinia. an African empire known
to the ancients as Ethiopia is rapidly
rising in importance industrially and
commercially. 1t is presided over by
a emperor with the title "Negus Ne
gusti," which signifies king of kings"
The president ruler is Menelik H., born
in 1912, a man Of rather remarkable
character and singular clear-headed-
ness for one so far separated from the
outside influences of the civilized
world The area of the country is
about 10000 square miles and the pop
ulation is little less than 100000.
The last census estimates 1t to be
$500, 900. The chief industries of the
empire are the rearing of cattle. sheep
and goats, and the cultivation of bar
ley, dhurra, wheat, hops and tobacco
for home consumption.

A PERSONAL LETTER
January %, 1904.

To OUR CUSTOMERS:
In writing you this letter we wish
to say few earnest words to our GUS
toners on the topic of getting better
acquainted with each other.
We are proud of this great business
We are ambitious to make it still
greater. But, believe us, we are not
content to do merely big" business.
We are trying the best we know how
to do things better all the time-to
make fewer mistakes, to have fewer
outs, and in general, to give better
service each season than we did the
season before.
To do our best we must have your
help. We must know the things that
please you and those that displease
you. Your friendly cooperation will
make 1t possible for us to come closer
to the high standard we have set out
for ourselves.
We know we make mistakes. We
are aware that in many ways we fall
short of our "good service" standard
But please do us the simple justice to
believe that when we do blunder we
are as much vexed as you can possibly
be, and that we will appreciate any
help from you which will enable us to
save like error next time.
We like to feel that you and we are
partners in this business, in which it
is our part to gather goods from the
best markets, and your part to buy
these goods from us at the right
prices. Between partners mutual
frankness and friendly criticism is al
ways in place and always helpful.
We would like to have each of our
customers get into the habit of tell
ing us unreservedly about matters of
mutual interest. In especial tell us
when we do things wrong. If you see
how we can improve our system or our
service, be sure your suggestion will
be welcomed, even though 1t may not
be possible for us to act upon the
same.
Please be frank with us. If you
have been hugging some grievance to
yourself, kindly tell us the facts In the
case plainly. Give us chance to ex-
plain the matter, or, if we are in the
wrong, to adjust it. 1t is not fair to
condemn us until you have found us
unwilling to right wrong.
We extend a most cordial invitation
to each person who reads this, whether
he buys from US or not, to come and
see us. We are sure both of us will
gain by getting to know each other
better.
Any suggestion or criticism that
you may at any time tell to the under
signed will have his prompt personal
attention.
We wish you favorable and pros
porous season. Very truly yours,
STABLER'S 5 AND 10c STORE,
JOSEPH STABLER, Prop.

LOVE UNDERSTANDS.

"Tis often said that love is blind
That faults II cannot see
In the beloved and most adored
But IL seems more to me
That love will gain an inner sight,
The depth of soul to know,
Where others but the surface see,
And not the hearts warm glow.
They do not see the heart concealed
And hid from human sight,
which Is revealed to the twin soul
Who has the inner light.
To see and read the loved ones thoughts,
And sympathy TO feel
With his desires and aims OF life,
And all that is most real
She knows his motives for each deed,
And Judges him Alright;
For she is ever guided by
Loves clearer, inner light:
She. too, has mercy for his faults,
And leads his soul above
To heights where she viii help him soar
BY the sweet power Of love.
She knows the snarCs of human life,
And knows that there may be
Some faults In every mortal soul;
But through them. learns TO see
The sweet and tender soul beneath
The little faults he owns
In her eyes, loving tenderness
For many faults atones.

Housekeeping.
