ObGg;ngness Pays-Or Hon
Georgia Courtesy Won

IRON PARKWAY Lewiston, Maine, through
the EvNing, Journal of that city, comes
this most interesting tribute THE
spirit of Willingness to oblige seems to run
through all of Georgia And hereby hangs
q tale which we of this commonwealth may
read to our profit and inspiration.
It was a twelvemonth or more ago that
a citizen of the Pine Tree State, as the
Lewiston Journal recounts, CHANGED to buy
through parcel post some field product of
Sumter county, Georgia, farmer-Mr A. A
Forrest. of Leslie-and found it unforget-
tably good This year the Georgian, who
wrote to the Maine purchaser, offering
syrup at seventy-fve cents for ten-pound
cans BY way of response came an inquiry
touching the cost of shipment. Promptly
the farmer replied: Your letter received.
/ Immediately wrote to the Central OF
Georgia Railway, and to the postmaster of
Americas, Ca, for freight and parcel post
charges on ten cans of syrup, weighing
altogether about one hundred and twenty
five pounds. I am inclosing their answers
for you to see. I thank you for the in
quiry; and any time I can do you a favor,
please command me-" .
This struck the New Englander as dis
tinctly happy manner of doing business
The impression deepened he went on to
read the railroads reply: "In response to
inquiry dated April 8, I take pleasure in
quoting rate of eighty-six and half cents
per one hundred pounds on syrup in cans,
boxed or Grated. This rate applies via sa-
vannah. Ca, and the Ocean Steamship Com
pany, which is the quickest and cheapest
route for points in New England states. We
will thank you to let us handle this ship
ment for you Th5nkin~ you for the inquiry
and also asking you always to remember us
and to call upon us whenever we can be of
service to you, 1 am yours truly, George
Anderson Agent, Americas, Ca"
There is still another character in this idyl
of Georgia courtesy. The postmaster wrote
in this wise: yours received, and in re-
spcnse will say that it costs eighty cents per
gaAon of thirteen pounds in a can, sealed,
to ship syrup to Augusta, Maine, by parcel
post. This seems high. But it is the best
that the postofice department can do just
now. We are at work on the matter of re-
ducing the rate on farm products, and hope
ried minimum price everywhere in the
United States. Yours sincerely, D. F. Daven-
port, Postmaster
Did our Sumter county farmer sell his
syrup? Let the man in Maine, who now

today is the uniform of the soldier" My
friend told me the following story out
OF the book Of Tokio's everyday life:
In the Yotsuya ward of the City of
Toxic on the street bearing the tender
name of Aisumi-cho U1ove-abiding

Takasago Company. 1t is a matri-
monial bureau. Nothing shady or ques-

monial bureaus in Japan are reputable
institutions and about as far from their

There is Admiral Togo and then
there is Gen; Kuroki. They are the
two outstanding figures of the two
