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. \ mi vigor and victory : these the cliaiHCtsristiO'* of Do Wilt’s i.tttlc Early Kisers, the famous little pills for constipuion. tulliou-ms. aod all stomach »< d liv* r iroubles — J. 8.

If he succeeds, the north and to 1 U 1 will be so closely related by marriage in a few years that we will all belong to one family. It , is not good for man to bo alone, P. T. Barnnm once said "If you have ten dollars to put to good use, put one for tne and the other for advertising. I can out-talk any man but a print* er. The man that, can stick 11MtltIkt0 „ thw and people while 1 am talking to one, is the man I am afraid of, and 1 want him for my friend.” 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. ‘■They don’t make much fuss about it,” We arc speaking of Be Witt’s Little Early Kisers, tho famous little and pills all for conalipaation, stomaelind billiousncsa. troub'es. liver They never gripe.—J. 8. lictfs & co. 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. Burning itching ."kin <<'souses in- slanfly relieve*! by DeWitt’s witch Buz I Ntlve, lititiQuelled It for cuts, b'ui-e 1 , burn-* heuls without leaving a goai—J S Bells & co 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. T lore i- ;i tiuv' for everj thing • ami the time to attend to ii cold is w 1 >en it sturtK.
