The arrest was made at Oakfleid. Marshal Hallman is entitled o much credit for the order kept the past week. While he was extremely lenient and allowed the boys to have their fun in rea¬ son, lie was quick to arrest those who directly and wilfully violat¬ ed the city ordinances. The supreme court of Georgia lias recently decided “that dis¬ turbing even a single person of a congregation of persons lawfully assembled for divine services by doing any act forbidden by the penal code, etc.—talking or whis¬ pering so as to disturb such con¬ gregation or any member or part thereof, is a violation of the law, and an indictable offense.” News ami Immigrant: J. T. Perry, a thrifty farmer living near here, sold at Peulan 32 doz¬ en eggs, and enough chickens to amount to $10.40. Such men as individuals can accomplish more towards solving the problem of low price cotton than a thousand conventions that make resolu¬ tions. Road Commissioner Murray says that inasmuch as the grand jury has ordered that the county convicts be put to work on the roads, he is in favor of straight¬ ening the same, and thus lessen¬ ing distances from one place to another. Wo think the idea a good one, and hope it. will be car¬ ried out by tne county authori¬ ties. J. W. Polliill drove a fine horse to Ashburn from Hawkinsville last week, and left the animal here with his step-son, J. B. Bozeman, and continued his jour¬ ney to Florida by rail. When he returned his horse was sick with blind staggers, and Mr. Bozeman loaned him his horse to go home with. Since that time the sick horse, which was a very valuable animal, has died. We glean the following from the News and Immigrant.; This is Christmas eve, and there are peach blooms and blackberry blossoms in Poulau, and many gardens still are fragrant with the breath of roses, violets and chrysanthemums. The writer speaks with a elear conscience in saying that Southern Georgia lias the softest and most equable cli¬ mate »n the whole South.

The pole of the wagon striking the ground he was thrown out, and one of (he horses kicked him in (lie face and on top of til© head, cutting several deep gash¬ es, from which the blood flowed freely. His wounds were dressed and he was on the streets again this week. It was certainly a narrow escape from death. Col. White went to Seville as attorney for un insurance adjuster Weduesdav, and returned yester- day. The Colonel has been a very busy man this Christmas, Besides the above case, he has had two eases in the United States Oourt, sued a couple of lawyers, wound up the affairs of an estate, and defended a client In two cases here at home, and won in every case. Ben is a hustler, ami is bound to make his mark in his chosen calling. Miss May Jenkins will loach next year at Old Pateville in Dooly county, where our editor graduated ( (). Miss Jenkins is one of the best lady teachers in Georgia. She taught several terms here in Ashburn a few years ago, giving universal satis¬ faction, no subsequent teacher excelling her. S ince then she has taken a preparatory course in the State Normal school at Athens, and is even better titled now for teaching than she was when so successful here. Miss Jenkins’ abilities should insure her a prominent position in some high school. It was rumored this week at Sycamore and other places that Editor Smith was going to have the crowd who serenaded him ar¬ rested for disorderly conduct. Such a step was entirely foreign to him. Not since Ashburn was a town has a married couple re¬ ceived such an ovation, and as no insult was intended, the act was received as a compliment and honor. For years he lias had fun with the boys through the columns of the Advance, and o the first time they had a chance to get even with him, and they improved the opportunity. Hon¬ ors are easy, and the band plays ‘‘on.” The ladies of the Methodist church at Sycamore gave night. an oys¬ A ter supper Wednesday large crowd of young people went from here, and all unite in saving that they hud a magnificent time. Sycamore’s young ladies were out in full force, lovely to gaze “all up¬ on, mid the young men were smiles to-night, love,” “dressed in their best Sunday clothes,” with while the comely joined matrons in mak¬ becoming dignity enjoyable ing the occasion an one long to he remembered by those present. The good people of Sycamore are noted for their generous hospitality and ability to entertain, but they fairly ex¬ celled themselves on this occa¬ sion. We understand that the church realized about, $30 from the supper. W. K. Jenkins this week re¬ signed his position as salesman Geo. for J. S. Betts & Co., •1 and h , ,H . 9 , aco 1,1 ... th « Mr. Jenkins has . been laitlmiJ a employe of the company for four years, courteous and obliging to all, and ever at his post of duty, and will he sorely missed hv the patrons ol the store, but there is some consolation in the knowl- edge that he could not have been succeeded !>v a belter man than Geo.

The Ad¬ passionately certainly fond wishes him vance suc¬ cess. One of t ho nicest entortiun- incuts of holiday week was held at the residence of Dr. Thrasher last night.

Among them are Mesdames Peacock, De Loach, Cowan, Ilollaraon, Shook- ley and others. We. regret that circumstances prevented our tendance upon this occasion, and we feel that w# have missed a rare treat, Christmas has come and and the boys have had their fun. Only one or two email tights took place, and several drunks. Mayor Betts generously overlooked tho drunks, and only lined those who had disturbed the peace. In a case before him yesterday ho turned the prisoner loose, and emphasized the decision t hat even if Ashburn was a dry town, Christmas or no Christmas, a man had a perfect right to drink allhe wanted to in his own house or place of business.

Mr. II. D. Smith, editor of the Ashburn Advance, and Miss Cora L. Woodard were married at the home of the bride’s aunt at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon, Rev. J. C. Flanders of Ashburn offici¬ ating. The marriage friends was and a quiet rela¬ one. only a few tives being present. Mr. and Mrs. Smith passed through Cor¬ dele on the Slioofly last night on route to Ashburn. They will ho at home to their friends after Jan. 2nd. Editor Smith is well known in the newspaper fraterni¬ ty as a genial, wholosouled man with lots of native wit and com¬ mon sense. His paper is recog nized re of Georgia’s bright¬ est country weeklies. Mis bride is a lady of culture and refine¬ ment, and will make for Mr. Smith a model wife. The Senti¬ nel wishes for Mr. and Mrs. Smith a happy Christmas and a prosperous journey over the mat¬ rimonial sea.—Cordele Sentinel. Last, week ahoy came up stairs and bunded us a square envelope, and on account of the editor get¬ ting married we had that subject on the brain, and believing that if he could get a wife most, any¬ one could, jumped at. tho conclu¬ sion that some fair damsel had sent us a leap year proposal, and grabbing a pencil and paper tried to divide 1897 by 4 and make it, conic-, out even, but it wouldn’t jibe, and then we open¬ ed it and read the following on a tiny card surrounded by floweret emblems: “Take dinner with us Dec. 24. liosp’y, Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Woodard.” On the date named and about an hour ahead of time we rushed frantivully to the home of Mr. Woodard, and waited patiently for the time to arrive when we could show him wliut an expert we were iu hid- ing away Christmas turkey. The t ime came and wo were ushered into, ihc dining room. We were not, equal to onr share of the emer¬ gency. Although Editor Smith and his bride, Rev. Flanders, bis sister-in-law. und several other big enters w<*ro there, wo saw at glance that naught blit a veri¬ table cyclone ans going to elear that tab’e. The de'icious viands are hardly describablo. Bob tried to make us partake of every dish provided, but, after wo had ato freely of turkey, cake, pies Jol¬ lies, pickles, etc., we concluded that Mr. and Mrs. Woodard bad anticipated the avariciousnois of their guests and did not propose to be foiled iu supplying tlieir wants. 'The dinner was a spread that the worthy hostess might well he proud of preparing, (and we’ll take our “duvy” on a Mor¬ mon biblo that we never ate u better meal in our life.
