IT’S “ASHBURN" EVERYWHERE.
It is interesting to analyze the rea
sons for the publicity which the lit- j
tie town of Ashburn in Turner coun j
ty, South Georgia, has been recently
receiving. The publicity is of the
favorable and constructive sort; it
affects more than the pleasure and
gratification of the people of Ashburn
and the region about that town; it
is publicity which is building up not
only Ashburn and making Turner
county stronger, but which is turning
solid) and substantial settlers and in
vestors in their serious attention to
ward this part of the state. Ash
burn’s publicity is a distinct asset to
the state, particularly this part of the
state.
The weekly press of South Georgia
and then all sections of the state and
the adjacent states, and then the daily
press of the state and section have
* been talking about Ashburn. Sever
al t lasses of men, connected with sev
era! constructive lines of endeavor
have been talking about Ashburn.
The other day the editor of the Wire
gra s Farmer, published at Ashburn
ieceived a letter from the editor of a
magazine that has more than nation
nl circulation, and a paragraph in that
letter said:
"Last week attended a farm im
plement show in New York.
J here they were talking about
Ashburn and Turner county. The
following week I went over to
Michigan to a Holstein cattle
show. There the Michiganders
were on the same scheme, Ash
burn aifd Turner county,”
1 he press synidoates have been writ
ing and circulating stuff about Ash
burn. The “Country Gentleman” has
had articles in which “Ashburn” oc
ean red in many places—in exemplary
manner. The “Guernsey Breeders’
Journal” with a circulation speading
oul over the United) States and Cana
—ckt xeyeiitly -bad a two-page article
about Ashburn and Turner county,
Ga.
Now if publicity pays—and it does,
of the right sort—and Ashburn is get
ting nation-wide publicity that it
c ould not buy with money at iany
price, how does Ashburn do it? Ash
burn has done something; the com
munity which does things attracts at
tention Ashburn some months ago
established a creamery which proved
to be a boon to the farmers, is a re
gion of many miles radius, farmers
with sereval and wdth only a few
cows. The creamery afforded market
for surplus cream; the receipts for
cream came in a steady stream to
hundreds of farm families just when
they needed" the extra change. The en
terprise proved itself; it demonstrat
ed something; it showed farmers a
way to increase their steady monthly
income of cash. The idea, thus demon
strated, spread to other communities
—and other creameries were estbalish
ed with like results in other counties
The creameries multiplied to the point
at which the cream supply was not
large enough to keep the churns go
ing—and so the dairy industry woke
up; farmers began buying more cows
dairying as a business began to be
courted in a systematic business-like
viftjr.; banks began backing with mon
ey the farmers who wanted to go in
to the dairying line on large or modest

And so Ashburn has done a thing

Ashburn is attracting deserved atten

worth millions to this section of the

IMPORTANT MEETING
IN ATLANTA
Friday there was held in Atlanta
one of the most important meetings
that has been Lad i ll the state of Geor
gia for years and years. It was gen
eral get-together of prominent men
of the state looking toward the per
lecung ?? olans for a Maritime Ex
position at Savannah in 1926 In all
probability Mr. Mills B. Lane, presi
dent of the Citizens and Southern
Bank will head the enterprise, which
together with the other prominent
men behind the movement will as
sure its success. We are heartily in
favor of the great world wide expo
sition for Savannah as it will not on
ly do Savannah good, but the entire
state and especially this section of the
state.
A single seed producing from thir
ty to sixty stalks each from 10 to 12
feet high, gives some idea of what an
enormous yield may be had from Teo
sinte. The Louisiana Eperiment Sat
tion reported a crop of more than 50
tons on an acre. If cut when 4 or
5 feet high it makes an excellent fod
der, starts immediately into growth
again and will* give several more cut
tings as large as the first; we have
known it to yield five cuttings a sea
son. If sufficient is planted a con
tinuous supply of nutritious green
feed can be had daily right up to frost
The leaves are long and broader than
corn, contain 8 to 10 per cent more
sugar, and are readily eaten by all
kinds of stock. It makes splendid en
silage, but is njore particularly recom
mended as a continuous cutting green
feed crop. Plant in May or June in
drills to £ feet apart, 2 or 3 pounds
to the acre. Seed for sale at John
ston’s Drug Store. Waynesboro, Ga.

WAYNESBORO FORTY YEARS AGO
Copied from the issue of The True
Citizen of November 3d. 1882.
(By H. P. Sullivan)
The following named young ladies
left Monday to enter Wesleyan Fe
male College at Macon; Misses Julia
Ashton, and Mamie Rowland, Waynes
boro; Miss Cox step-daughter of
Judge R. T. Jones, and Miss Lanier,
daughter of Rev. Dr. Lanier, of this
county, and Miss Daniel, daughter of
Mr. J. H. Daniel, of Millen.
On Tuesday evening Archie Stokes
col., weighed up some cotton picked
by Millie Bostick, col., on Dr. Stein
er’s plantation and claimed it as his
work. On Wednesday morning angry
words passed between the doctor and
Archie on the matter, the negro dur
ing the day making threats. Wednes
day night the little storehouse, in
which Dr. Steiner kept a few goods
for sale to his hands, was fired and
burned to the ground. Suspicion
pointed strongly to Archie and Free
man Cummings, col., and the doctor
procured warrants for their arrest.
Constable J. A. Lawson went to make
the arrest, when Archie Stokes gave
leg bail, and was fired at by some of
Lh e constable’s party, and is suppos
ed to have been hit, but he made his
escape. Freeman was brought to
town and lodged) in jail.
A horse belonging to Dr. Steiner
was driven to town yesterday (Fri
day) by a colored man, from the doc
tor s plantation, and just between
Evans & Thomas and W. McCathern’s
stores, threw up his head, gazed at the
engine at work on the artesian well,
fell to the ground and was dead in a
tew minutes. The question is what
killed him?
Note.—The store of Evans & Thom
as was located in a large wooden
bulidin e - that stood upon the site of
the store now occupied by Herman
Sperling and Murrow’s Market. The
firm was composed of Josh Evans
and Charles H. Thomas. The McC'ath
era store was in the building now oc
copied by Chas. Ballos.
The following is the number and
classes of cases brought to the Novem

was located at that time on the lot on
which the home of Mr. Ed Fulcher
now stands. It was a small one-story
wooden building. All of the commiss
toners who signed the announcement
have died.
ANOTHER NEW COUN
TY HEARD FROM
It had to come. And it has bobbed
up serenely and a peach of a county
it is too. In fact it is Peach County,
Presumably Peach County has the ap
proval of the Third House which as
sures its safe conduct through the
lines. Lamar County had it and there
was no stopping it. Boodle County
would have been more appropriate.
With the essential quartum of scads
any little jerk water station with a
real or faked population of 500 or 600
can become a countyseat. But the
dough is the all-important part of the
arrangement.
With Peach County out of the way,
there is Watermelon County, then
Pumpkin, Squash and Cucumber coun
ties to come and so on ad infintium.
And then there’s Peanut county loom
tog in the not so awfully dim dis
tance. There is something in the
name of peanut that is fascinating
since it suggests the type of politician
ti 't is associated with the creation
of these tiny little counties.
But don’t get peanut confused with
penultimate for the madness has just
begun and peanut will be nothing
near the last . Some newspaper writ
ers suggested not long ago that the
State of Georgia employ an expert
with a miscroscppe to go. over the
map and find out just horn many of
these miniature counties can be creat
ed and whack ’em all at one fell whack
It would be money in the hand for the
State to do it. If it is best for the
State to inspect every city ward and
militia district in counties why not
do it at once and have no foolishness
about it? Then the Legislature and
the Third House could turn their at
tention to the serious problems of leg
islating for the people, with the sweet
consciousness of having taken time
by the forelock instead of the fetlock
and haviiisr done some substantial ser
vice for the State—Augusta Herald.
