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 Uncle an lira jiiu/IducK«, Cordele is getting to be reul metropolitan. Her police force numbers six men, whom the Times Buys are a vigilant set. There is it time lor every thing • ami the time lo attend lo it mill is w'n n it atari*. Don’t wail till you have oi'iisiimption but prevent it by using One Minute cough cure, die great remedy for coughs, colds, croup, bronchitis and all throat ai d ling troubles.—J. S. Belt- & <o. 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 Grover Cleveland has decided that his forthcoming book shall not be published till aftor liis death; whereupon the Union Printer remarks that “there are a few people who wish, with more or less fervid ness, that his elec¬ tion to the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 show a uet <lecrea$* of Kbtnnates .. received , r from 4l the other , twenty-five eouuties indicate that this loss will not only be made up, but that the State will come out $203,500 ahead Another brute met deuth Hatur- .| no y h ‘ Dr p..

He captured him and held him til) daylight, when a preliminary trial was held before the justice of the peace. During the proceedings a bullet lired by an unknown band struck the negro uml he was dead in a few minutes.—(Jordele Times. 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 wit.li ... degree , of , decency—but , , , a oviJ afl80C j at jon» corrupt good manners ’ 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, .......... Ocked «„d sold. Most reports from this tson of the State are to the effect that a large crop of cotton will be made. Picking wilt soon be gen¬ era I .

S. Belts Sc Co. 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. “J cravo but One Minute," *■ ai»l public speaker In n hunk v voire; and then he took a dose of Odo Minule Cough Cure, and proceed d with bis oratory.
