UNION RECORDER. MILLEDGEVILL£, GEORGIA, JUNE 23, 1927.

Through its constant efforts to
render public service and proving
itself a “Citizen Wherever They
Serve” the Georgia Power Company
was awarded the Forbes Public Ser
vice Cup, the highest award in a
national contest to determine the
most constructive public nervice car
ried on by a light and power com
pany in a local territory the past
Only a few years ago the old
Georgia Power was the subject of
much unbridled criticism by the
newspapers of Georgia, but through
“good service continuous presenta
tion of their story to the public and
constant efforts to promote the
growth of the state" good feeling
and friendship hun been developed.
The general opinion of the public
toward a corporation is that of a
strangle and cold blooded policy En
tirely different from the spirit of the
Georgia Power Company.
This company has done more to
ward advancing Georgia and bring
ing her to the front than any one
set of people living within her do
main. They have harnessed the nat
ural resources and are giving to the
farmer as well as the city dweller
the opportunity to electrify their
homes and plants, reducing expenses,
labor co.<s and bringing to them
the once luxuries of life.
Electricity is playing an important
part in every phase of life and to
know that you are being served by
;i public spirited corporation whose
offic als *»re behind their company to
develop good will, give service and
help the state grow gives one a com
fortable satisfaction.

The expression the “Good Old
Days” is common in many quarters
and yet the*-e never were any good
old days. In the good old days 100
years ago wivey were expected to
die at forty, and men were worn out
at fifty. The majority of mankind
wus engaged in the back breaking
labor that is now done for us by
railroads, machinery, automobiles
nnd now electricity in the h*mc.
Central water and central light sys
tems have relieved for us much of
the old drudgery. Just so the good

gar in our home. However, in my
fiance’s home they 9eem to know
nothing, or care nothing, about those
'hinga that are generally considered
the decencies of life, nad I was more

I wonder if I will be happy with a
girl who has lived in such surround

In plant and animal life, there is
occasionally what is known as a
“sport.” That is, there is a sudden
and spontaneous variation from the
normal type. At first glance, per
haps the offspring is in every respect
like the pnrent plant—but closer in
spection reveals many differences—
perhaps in the shape of the leaf, the
formation of the petals, or in the
coloring of the flower.
And so it is with human beings
sometimes. The girl you love may
resemble her family in every appar-
manner, but deep in her soul she
may be an utter stranger to them.
She may have finer thoughts, finer
sensibilities, and a finer senae of
■ character than all the rest of her
Ifnmily together. And if you love the
I girl you will remember that you are
not marrying her family. If she has
proved herself over a period of time
to be wholesome and clean-minded
and decent I think it most unfair to
judge her by her family.
Judge her, rather, by the things
she docs—the things she says—the
thing* she thinks.
However, I do advise you to study
the girl a long time before you mar
ry into a family whose ideals are so
different from your own. Know for a
certainty that the girl whom you love
has not merely assumed a pose of
fineness that she really does not pos
sess, for if *he has, sooner or later,
she will revert to type. There is no
saying so true as the one which tells
us we cannot make a silk purse out
of a sow’s ear, and there would be
small congenially between you and
the girl if you are always going to
be shocked with her, or if uhe jars
your ideas of decency.
Remember that your home must
not be merely a place of shelter and
food. It must be a thing of beauty,
with no less of the spirit and soul.
O woman must put into it the beauty
of her heart just as truly as a poet
must put it into his song, and if she
hay no beauty in her heart, if she is
coarse and vulgar and common—
you cannot hope for happiness.
And remember that when the chi-

Denr Miss Flo: I am engaged to
be married to a very nice girl with
whom I am greatly in love. She has
always seemed wholesome and fine,
and I have never known her to say
or do a coarse thing. However, I
met her family recently for the first
time, and since then I have been
rather doubtful that we can be hap
py together. I have been brought
up in a home in which modesty and
refinement were insisted upon, both
in person, speech and action. I have
never heard anything coarse or vul-
