THE ASHBURN ADVANCE
Published every Friday.
H. D. SMITH Editor
The Sam depot in Cordele was
burned Sunday night.
A man who is bad pay may ex¬
pect, to have a bad time getting
credit.
Some of the saddest disappoint¬
ments in love are with the ladies
who married.
Nay nothing to a loved one that
you will ever regret. ' Death will
sometime rob your home.
Lightning struck a North Geor-
gir negro the other day. His
heel was considerably addled.
Whisky drinking in America
dropped off six million gallons
last, year, according to revenue
statistics.
The now tariff law puts a duty
on soap. Some of them have long
uiffn wanting an excuse Tee not
using it.
The supreme court has decided
in favor of the removal of fhe
courthouse of Dekalb county from
Decatur to Stone Mountain.
It is much more becoming in a
girl to swing her arms alone than
swing the arms of a cigarette
dude, or a man with cloves on his
breath.
The sun got behind the moon
last week, and the Atlanta Con¬
stitution publishod an interview
with a sound money democrat.
What next?
Is Editor Rittenliour, who is
now on the point, of wrecking the
Cordele Herald, the same editori¬
al monstrosity who so efficient¬
ly (?) managed the defunct A Hal¬
lo (Ala.) Beacon?
Speaking of the smallpox in
Montgomery, Ala., we admit that,
the Georgia editors passed
through there about three weeks
ago, but don’t believe they scat¬
tered the smallpox.
Flanagan, flip Decatur murder¬
er, was sentenced Saturday to
hang on the 25tli of August; but.
there is many a slip between a
sentence and a hanging if there
is any money in pocket.
Fourteen hundred laborers in
the Fulton bag and cotton millH
in Atlanta, went, on a strike
Wednesday morning" because 20
nogro women were put to work
among them. The mill was shut
down, and there came near being
a riot.
J. C. Biirntun is the proud papa
of a new boy which weighs 16
pounds, is nine inches across the
shoulders, 18 inches around the
bust, 23 inches tall, and 8 1-2
aroundJtne arm next to tlie shoul¬
der. That's another record break¬
er for Cordele.—Cordele Times.
A negro in Valdosta got drunk
and murdered his daughter. He
told a Times reporter that he was
cleaning up his pistol fora church
festival, and that the shooting
w. s accidental. Witnesses testi¬
fied otherwise. Cleaning up
tols for church festivals would be
a new thing outside of a whisky
town.

The Daily Times tells us that
Mr. W. II. Johnson, of Vienna,
and Mrs. J. C. Brown,of Rochelle,
met in Cordele the other day, and
were married in a blacksmith
shop. If the blacksmith welded
the knot they needn’t go into the
courts to get it untied.

The Herald failed to pay its
printers for two months and they
struck. The editor and others
connected with the management
have not, struck, and it is pre¬
sumed they paid themselves out
of collectable funds and now
they whine and kick because the
printers refused to wait for dead¬
heads to settle to get their pay.
The editor’s assurance that the
striking printers will be paid in
frill would hardly be classed as
bankable collateral in Cordele,
and is just, about As valuable as
bis previous promise to pay. We
sympathize with the strikers and
the imported men who are to he
duped into taking their places.

The Cordele Herald printeis
saw the folly of working for
nothing and went, out on a strike
Monday morning for two months
wages. We made some reference
a few weeks ago to the man who
was blowing in the Herald,
and he will blow it, in as sure as
the proprietors let him keep the
job. In one column the ground-
rattle editor gives a glowing ac¬
count, of a trip to Atlanta and
North Alabama cities, where he
had a high old time, and in the
next column he places a stinging
rebuke to the printers for quitting
work for want of pay. Printers
are not apt to go on with their
work without pay while the ed¬
itor is spreeing about on a high
horse. Referring to his trip, he
said: “Our return there was in
many iexpects like unto the home¬
coming of the prodigal son. > t
That parable may present itself
more forcibly before he finally
gets out of the editing business.
The Herald will go to the wmll or
change management.
