THE ASHBURN ADVANCE
Published every Friday.
H. D. SMITH, - -
In visiting', a call too short is
better than one too long.
You are not apt to speak too
highly of your neighbors.
Tbc ladies are wearing the
bows on the back. Young men
should bo careful not to spoil
them.
Moultrie is to have a grand
conclave of all the horse swappers
of South Georgia in the near fut¬
ure.
Putting oil stylo is all right for
those who can afford it; but those
of limited moans should not try
to imitate.
A negro resisted arrest iu Se¬
ville Saturday, and the marshal
and his deputies were compelled
to . kill ... him.
Cordclo is seemingly on a boom.
The Times says that ten new
stores are to bo built there in the
near future.
A Rome cotton mill has secured
a contract to make 1,*100,000 yards
of ducking to be used in making

Cordele is getting to be reul

One Minute cough cure, die great

Ridenhour tries hard to imitate
the Arizona Kicker man in bil¬
lingsgate. But that would nat¬
urally be expected of him, for all
monkeys try to imitate human
beings.
While a western editor was
writing a burning editorial call¬
ing upon the comity commission¬
ers to cut down expenses, the
honorable board was engaged in
lopping oH two dollars from one
of his bills—a case of “seething
the kid in its mother’s milk.’’
Lord Heresford has skipped to
the Klondyke, and says he will
return to Georgia with enough
gold to buy half of the State, and
then settle with those who are at¬
tempting to blacken his charac¬
ter. Whoopee!
Judge Z. L. Fryer, of Barnes-
viile, who was m Thoiuastou last
week, in looks is tlie perfect
double of Secretary of State John
Sherman—but an entirely differ¬
ent man politically, socially and
otherwise.
Maj. Hanson, manager of the
(’ordeie Manufacturing Company,
threatens to remove the cotton
mill to some other part of the
State if the city authorities at¬
tempt. to collect city taxes on the
plant.
Grover Cleveland has decided
that his forthcoming book shall
not be published till aftor liis
death; whereupon the Union
Printer remarks that “there are a
few people who wish, with more
or less fervid ness, that his elec¬
tion to the Presidency had been
similarly deferred.”
The strike in Atlanta lias
settled, and the strikers went
work Monday morning. The
gro women were discharged.
whole world and a portion of
rope are on the anxious seat,
waiting to hear from the Cordele
strike, but the telegraph wires are
mute. There must be blood on
the moon.
According to the latest returns
received by Comptroller General
Wright, there will be no falling
off iu the taxable property of
Georgia this year. Capt. Wright
has already received official fig¬
ures from 112 counties and of
these, three—Chatham, Columbia
and Lincoln—have been returned
for correction. The other llffl

up, but that the State will come

The Times says that Lovic W
Hidenbour and Carlton Cunning¬
ham have purchased the printing
outfit of the cordelc Herald. We
are told that Mr. Cunningham is
an energetic young man, with
plenty of bruins and tuct to make
a good newspuper man. If such
is the case, and he has a controll¬
ing voice in the concern, the llcr-
aid may hereafter be conducted

John Sheffield, a negro
Kent to the convict camp at Kra¬
mer from Terrell county in 1801,
for a term of ten yearn, made his
]rmE J/44/IF L-/»m
and all efforts to locate him were
futile. Wednesday lie walked
into the camp and asked for his
striped suit again. He stated
that he was unable to secure work
enough on the outside to make a
living, and was hungry and
wished to go back where he could
get plenty to eat and have a good
home.
If Editor Ilideuhour had money
enough to buy the Herald, why
didn’t ho pay his printers? Per¬
haps it required no money to buy
the plant, and his mismanage¬
ment caused the stockholders to
desire to unload at any price and
on any terms—even to givittg it
away, in order to relieve them¬
selves of present, aud future obli¬
gations. As they probably had
a contract with ltidcnhour for u
specified length of time they could
not fire him without entailing ad¬
ditional expense, so they adapted
the easiest method of ridding
themselves of that pestiferous
barnacle. This last move is but
the beginning of tho end. We
extend our sympathies to Mr.
Cunningham.
A clash between the State and
United States authorities occurred
in Cordele Friday, ways the
Times, when Deputy Sheriff Shep¬
pard levied on the Cain planing
mill plant, which is in charge of
W. H. Hugely as a master com¬
missioner appointed by the United
States court. A few days ago a
judgment which had been ob¬
tained by 8. J. Hill & Bro.
against, Mr. McD. Cain was af¬
firmed by the State supreme court.
The Messrs, liiil demanded the
amount, of their judgment from
the gentlemen who had signed an
indemnity bond ponding the de¬
cision of the Supreme court. It.
remains to be settled by the
courts which lien has precedence,
since the United States court has
appointed a commissioner to sell
the plant for the benefit of hold¬
ers of mortgages in Alabama.
The crop bulletin for tho week
eliding Aug. 0 says: Throughout,
the southern counties the weather
has been comparatively favora¬
ble, and nearly all crops are look¬
ing well. The temperature has
beep. high, but frequent local
showers haye kept crops from suf-
fering. Fodder is being pulled
and saved in excellent, condition,
and a large crop of corn will be
made. Cotton is opening rapidly,

that a large crop of cotton will be

A Bay m the Woods,
By our 1aabulla correspondent
Another bright day has been
recorded in the book of Time,
and I pause and rnminaie over
that page like unto a miser fond¬
ling' his gold. Only an inmate of
a prison can fully appreciate the
blissful intoxicating pleasures of
being free to roam at will. On
the verdant grasses, nature’s own
carpet of gretn beneath the
blue sKy of our heavenly home,
barbecue. The invitations read,
and in company with some of the
good people of our vicinity, we
hied ourselves away to the.
of action. We arrived
. late, about . 10 clock, at the ,
o
... , , where , methinkH, ,
‘ ° Ca 10U ’ -
In the long years ago the red man
found a happy hunting ground,
Hornes of every size and color,
and vehicles to match, adorned
(lie hillside, but not a human form
could we see. Had they taken us
u. imml or savages and desert¬
ed the camp? But, ah! Glancing
down the woodland slope we see a
sight that quickens the appetite
to a painful pitch. Through the
tall stately pines a soft, hazy
smoke is slowly ascending on the
pure, fragrant air, savory with
the delicious odor of meats being
barbecued. Sufficient for the day
was the sight thereof, but the
curtain was not, all raised from my
eyes. I long for the inspiration
of an artist, to draw the scene
which greeted the eye. On one
side the woods were literally alive
with people. Little gems of in-
fants; toddling little darlings;
uchool girl* and Wy» |« to 1;
sweet maidens and gallants;
beaux and belles, ami, last but not
least, the dear aged fathers and
mothers, all there to enjoy a day
in the woods.
Scattered about, in groups ex¬
changing the topic of the day, or
grandpa telling a story of long,
long ago, and sweet maidens
smiling as if they, too, had been
listening to the old, old story that
is always new, while there were
sail I others in the valley under
the shades of the large sweetgum
trees keeping time to tho sweet
music of the mystic mazes of the
dance.
Dinner was announced at once,
but, alt! words fail me here, and
even this faithful old pen raises a
wail. Would that I had the pow¬
er to describe the good things
prepared by these skillful house¬
wives that every r good man (not
things) ought to have. All tho
delicious ediules, tempting to
even the most fastidious, were
there on that banquet board. Eat,
drink ice water and be merry,
was ibe order of the day.
Six carcasses remained to tell
the tale. After the storm (of din¬
ner) was over and the wreck
cleared, Col. J. J. Forehand made
many a louging glance toward the
deserted table as he addressed the
people. I presume his discourse
was concerning the ’cue. 1 was
unavoidably absent and failed to
hear it..
The good time continued till the
shadows grow long aud the
must come. We go home with the
full assurance that if wo see no
, uore bright days like this,
"Tbere tm>eyond the sunoct glow
A brighter day than this. 1 know"
Shoo-Flv.
Still Failed to See it.
“I d like to see a man kiss me!’
**as a spectacle 1 think you
would find it disappointing. The
vuluo of a kiss does not lie in the
looks of it you know. However,
... ,1 yon feel a- i that a way about i a It i t I
would suggest that you stand ov¬
er here ami look in the mirror.
There, that's just it.”
“You horrid thing!" she
claimed ju-t about half a minute
later.
Afterward she confessed to her
dearest friend that she was so
preocoupi< d that even then she
did not s e anyone kiss her, but
she was pretty well convinced in
own mind that, someone did.

are hoping that he will encourage
the custom by setting an example.
