E ASHB' iOVANU w Published every Friday. B. D. SMITH, - - - Editor 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, A Wide awake «flcf Pro ml imWsosidBacer., ^ Oitjr, Large Hindu© Solid Buiineu Bonnes, end Pro gresssive People. _ 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 & Company's lumber road and runs ten miles west into the pine for ett Are the great developments of the West, that, built, magic cities, i» a few years, to be re-enacted inHo,lth (ieor * ia? T1,e wri,e [ thirty years ago, passed thro "F h tru ' :tl<w< " f P lne 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, They are not speculators, but are here to stay and will extend all possible aid and assistance settlers or investors. They en4 te n large general mercau- tUe establishment, and have erected mag.,(Rent homes, which w uh their own unexcelled Geor- gitt ftt . practically no cost . ....... has cost, upwards of each. Their lumber industry glve s employment to a small nmiv of workmen, and a large 0 f money is distributed, The same praise can be ac- corded to Mr. J. S, Shingler, V vbosc large interests extend east. an ,\ northeast from Ashburn. Mr . Shingler has a lovely home, the house costing over $9,000 which is surrounded with orna- mental trees and flowers. Mr. shingler is operating along a B bort liueof railroad extending *outh from the Georgia A Ala- bania railroad, which, when j n g Ashburn, will extend south to the Gulf and north to Vugustn Mr. Shingler is in the aI i,J naval store business, onera- ting a number of turpentine a nd a large mercantile lu ent. He owns some acres of lund which he also -ijresto sell to actual settlers, Ashburn is eighty miles 0 f Macou, and is twenty north ofTiftou; where the i>each growing industry has attracted pTT* similar to that ifton, and peaebee, pearg, plums, grapes, berries and vegetables grown in this neighborhood, can be excelled for delicious and the early markets. Mr. Betts has a thrifty | orchard of sixty-five acres, and Mr. Shingler one of thirty acres.
