A TIP TO THE WISE

The Village Health Officer again
calls the attention of the people to the
unwise policy OF using any water but
that provided by the Village
During the past ten days two cases
OF typhoid fever have developed in the
extreme south end Of the village. The
cause OF these cases has been directly
traced to the using OF untreated water.
The water IN the Village mains Is
kept pure and safe at all times by the
use OF chlorine gas and every day the
water Is thoroly examined by the vii
lage laboratory TO ensure It's safety.
Various well waters OF the Village
have been tested and all so tested
have been found unsafe. Your well
may prove an exception, but the truth
of its condition can only be determin-
ed by having its water examined.
The Village Board OF Health will ex-
anime any sample Of well water free
of cost at the local laboratory. Con-
suit the Health officer. but In the
mean time use only water taken from
the Village mains.

Village Health officer.

The problem assumes that Alabama
and Georgia are at war. The Georgia
forces have retreated from the Chat

line of hills running approximately
north and south. The Alabama troops
have crossed the river in pursuit and
are forming an attack on the Georgia

real as any battle, except that the
position of the defending force (Geor-
gia) is outlined.

Alabama Writer Tells About
Delightful People Met At
Camp Benning and Columbus
BY COLLIDE A yREs LYMAN

Columbus, Ga, March 26.-(Special)-
MY three weeks experience as an army

would be hard to imagine anything other
than delightful life. however, when re-
siding among such hosptable charming
people as the folk who compose the citi
zenship Of Columbus-the most cordial
place I have ever known.
One of the oldest cities of Georgia, ~the
society Of Columbus is characterized to
a great extent by the old-time colonial
and ante-belum sentiment which has
made southern hospitality noted through
out the nation.
stranger is always impressed when
coming to Columbus with the large NUM-
Der of handsome old-fashioned homes.
Many of these homes are presided over
by cultured women who were bellies OF
the COS The majority of the families
here have always made Columbus home
and are descended from the early fathers
identified with American independence
and famous far and wide for a high
degree of culture.
1t has been said that the old houses
are like people, taking their character
from occupants with definite and dis
tinct personalities. and more interesting
the more they are studied. Near Wild
wood park is the home of Augusta j.
Evans. There is beautiful building in
Columbus called "St. Elmo in honor OF
Augusta Evans Wilson. The broad ave-
nues and giant trees make fitting SET
ting for Columbus colonial and quaint
Graeco-Roman homes, Columbus is one
OF the few cities where ample provision
was made for streets right at the begin
ming. 1t was planned way back in 1877
as a city of Importance. 1t was located
by "a far-seeing legislature because OF
its natural advantages and the forces OF
nature which could be controlled and
used for the benefit of mankind.
From the elevated points in the suburbs
and the highlands of Alabama magnifi-
cent panoramic view of Columbus and
surrounding country can be obtained.
Nesting in the midst of vast amphi-
theatre, amid a range of hills forming
the segment of a circle stretching far
away in every direction, with hill and
dale, ravine and river, city and country
all this combines to form a scene OF
noble grandeur. The Chattahoochee river,
which flows through Columbus, divides
the state of Georgia from Alabama.
