Ashburn Methodist church has the
reputation of being one ot
the best churches in Die South Geor¬
conference, and the church has
uot lost any of its prestige this year.
The congregations are encouragingly
targe amt attentive. In fact, from the
beginning of tho year up to the ex-
trome warm summer days the attend-
ance upoti church services increased
gradually, and as the September
breeze fans us, the attendance prom¬
ises to still he good. Notwithstanding
tiie withdrawal of five members in
order to join the lYcsleyau church,
tlto removal of tbroeby letter and one
by death, there has been au increase
in the membership of six. Eyery de¬

\V . T. Christopher of Montezuma,
publisher of the Georgia Planter, was
in Ashburn Monday and Tuesday,
and was a caller at this office. Mr.
Chiistopher is seeking a location for a
colony of Macon county farmers. Ho
is very well pleaded with this section,
as the land is as good as any to ho
found iu Wire Grass Georgia, cheap,
and can bo purchased in almost any
size tracts desired convenient to mar¬
ket, churches and schools. Moreover,
there are many Mac ui county people
already located here and doing well,
and tho colonists would not come
among strangeis. Unluckily, the
party, Mr. Davis, who has the larger
tracts for sa'.e in charge, was absent,
and he failed to sec hiui. We sincere¬
ly hope die deal will be made, tor the
colonists would prove to bo a valua¬
ble to thin county. They
are favorably impressed with this sec¬
tion beean-e of tho high moral < har-
actor of our people, and they desire to
rear their children where they will
not be surrounded by die < vd< of iho
liquor traffic. Tuis section will bo
up in tho near future, aud wo

grants than the Macon county colon¬
ists. If proper efforts are made we

There is a turning point in ev¬
ery life, and in every sphere of
life ami livelihood there is a time
when a change may be made for
an improvement. Tho public
school of Ashburn is a public en¬
terprise with the “prise” hereto¬
fore left off. The teachers liava
worked faithfully, but citizens
have not taken enough interest in
its upbuilding. But the turning
point lias come. The idea of a
graded school for Asliburn was
advanced by Rev.J. C. Flanders
last week, and the matter took
active movement at once. A meet¬
ing was called and a graded
school declared. It was only nec¬
essary to secure a primary teach¬
er, as Mr. and Mrs. Passmore
could teach tho intermediate and
high school departments, and
Miss Katie Jenkins was employed
and the school started Monday
morning, with tho promise of the
bucking of the citizens of Ask-
burn. Moreover, we have the
promise of substantial support
from Bycamore. Another meeting
was held in Gift academy Friday
night, and a committee consist¬
ing of J. H. Bhingler, I)r. Thrash¬
er, W. A. Murray, E. R. Bmith
and W. B. Dasher (the last two of
Sycamore) appointed and to plans select for a
building site draft
a suitable building. The school
opened Monday morning with
about fifty pupils. Rey. P: A.
Jessup of Tifton was present and
delivered a lecture that surpassed
any talk that has ever been made
to the children of Ashbnrn. His
opening remarks were so full of
fun u 11 <1 cute recitals that they
placed the children's eyes on the
speaker, opened their ears, and
prepared their hearts for the mea-
sage they received. A large
crowd was present, and no speak^-
er was ever listened to iu Ash-
burn with more interest. Let all
