Who edits the Cordeie Daily
Times?
The populist party and the
withered Teed have split. The
democratic party aiul the Atlan¬
tic ocean have not.
The Cordeie Herald has not yet
reformed.
A cyclone got in the bung hole
of the Cordeie barrel factory and
tore the thing to pieces. They
are putting it back.
The Dooly camp-meetlny, three
miles from Vienna, started Mon-
day.
The Vienna Progress and the
officials of Cordeie are picking at
each others combs Go it old
hens, scatter the chicks and let
tho varmints pick them tip.
The iron bridge across Flint
river will not. be completed until
about the first of October.
Editor McIntosh, of the Albany
Herald, doesn’t seem to he at all
disturbed at the attempt of Ids
friends to ran him for governor.
The Waycross Journal has been
presented with a stalk of corn
feet long, with the ear so
that no man can stand flat-footed
and reach it.. The air-ship will
be beard from next.
The Cordeie Daily has seen the
air-ship, but is ashamed to con¬
fess H. Don’t blame him.
We need to educate our people
up to good roarts.
One by one the newspapers of
Georgia are giving notice that
they will drop all credit subscri¬
bers, and send the paper only for
cash.
When some one tells of the gen¬
erous donat ions that, a man makes
to a church, the women present
murmur “how good he must be”
and the men say, “What an
idiot!”—times.
The Valdosta Times Is turn¬
ing out uii extra during the Car¬
nival. Success to them.
DODGER vs NEWSPAPER.
Kew business men realize bow
many people read the newspaper
in which their advertisement ap¬
pears. They sometimes print B,-
000 dodgers, and although it cost
them more money than the sa me
amount of space in a newspaper,
they imagine it to be cheaper.
In the first place they do not con¬
sider how many copies of a pa¬
per there are that, go into the
homes of the people they desire to
reach, the dodgers are printed
and placed in the baud of small
boys whose only desire is to get
nd of them and draw their pay
for distributing them. They
will pass down tho street and
poke one under the arm of each
person they meet, no matter if
that individual already bus bad
a half dozen of them. Tho boy
passes on and the man throws the
dodger down and that is the last
of it. The streets are soon cov-
ered with them and they are noon
trampled ihto the dirt unread.
A newspaper is taken into the
home. Every member of the
family reads it and thou it is
loaned all over the neighborhood
to people who are either too poor
or too stingy to take a paper.
One subscriber said recently that
he did wish somthing could be
done to prevent people from bor-
rowing his paper. He said
Sunday paper was not at
long enough for him to
look it over. Before night
different families had borrowed
his paper and each member
each family had read it through.
He said of course he could not
refuse to loan them the paper,
but he did wish people would
subscribe and pay for their own
paper. In what cheaper way
can un advertiser reach so many
people? Many wide-awake busi-
ness men have taken advantage
of tnis method, and they have
found that it has paid them many
times the amount of tue cost
advertisement. It will be well
for those who have not tried it to
give it a teat.—Press and Pr : liter,

The traveller on the
Houthern Railroad, as lie comes
in to Ashburn after
through several miles of pine for-
est, has bis attention instantly
riveted by the magnificent up-
peai&nce of the large modern
palatial residences, and be
clairos, “what'll this!” Look-
ing at a locomotive and train
cars, leading off from an
saw mill, lie further asks,
road is this?” “That's Belt’s &

forests in Northern Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota,
through swamp lands, and
Medina lumber camp where
it was dangerous to go a
mile through the two feet of snow,
In five years those lands were in-
terwoven with railroads and
thriving towns that now—many
of them—are prosperous cities of
five, ten and twenty thousand
people,
The fundamental elements for
wealth making, for the man of
small means to acuire a home and
independence, are far superior in
this section of Georgia to
those that existed at any time in
the Northern pine forests. Here
is an average elevation of over
300 feat, in a latitude which pro-
duces all the agricultural and
horticultural demands of man-
kind. It is unnecessary to re-et-
crate the advantages of climate
around Ashburn, because these
advantages have been dwelled
upon in detail elsewhere in this
journal. The climate of this en-
tiro section is superb, devoid of
extremes, anu the pure, cool Gulf
breezes fan to the inhabitants the
arouia of pines and wild flowers.
The surface is undulating and
well'druiued; the soil decomposed
vegetation, mixed with mart and
loam, and enough gravel and
sand to meke it friable, as well
as exceedingly fertile.
Ashburn is a gem in the
[due forest. The advent of the
Georgia Houthern gave tho town
its birth, which was christened
in honor of one of its earliest
sponsors, Mr. W. W. Ashburn, of
Kastman, Ga. Within eight.
years over 1000 settlers east, ami
west, have cleared away forest
lands and have thrifty homes,
raising live stock, the cereals
and fruits. Among the princi¬
pal men who have built Ashburn
are J.*K. Betts and J. W. Evans,
who operate two la ge saw mills
and extend a railroad to the
west a distance of ten miles.
These gentlemen own many thou-
sands acres of choice virgin land,
from which only the larger
her has been culled, which they
offer to actual settlers upon good
terms and at very low prices,

which is surrounded with orna-
