will be a monument throngout
time to her [citizenship.—Cordele
Sentinel,
Our School.
The best wav to form an intel¬
ligent opinion of n town's future,
is to ascertain what oll’orts in be¬
half of Christianity and education
are being made. As to the form¬
er, that Ashburn excellss in a
large degree all other towns of
her size is admitted; as to the
latter—education—she is loading
any place her size in Georgia.
The energetic, wide awake citi¬
zens have erected an elegant
building and it can well be regar¬
ded as a temple of knowledge.
Presided over as it is by a corps
of teachers who know what edu-
tion is, what it means, and pos¬
sessed, as they are of a thorough
and complete education, they are
fast leading the boys and girls
along the paths of useful knowl¬
edge, thereby fitting them for all
pursuits in life.
If parents want their children
to become cultured—taught, to
think, to act and to develop their
minds and thereby be enabled to
work out successfully the prob¬
lems of humanity, the Advance
would say without hesitation
send your hoys and girls to the
Asliburn Academy, where under
the careful guidance and instruc¬
tion of the present efficient corps
of teachers they will attain that
development of mind which is es¬
sential to success in life.
Now is the time to s?,ml them—
it costs you nothing!

Peiiotentiaries arc built by the
toils of virtue. Crime never pays

to work, no bead to calculate, Its
whole faculty is to corrupt, and
waste; and good men directly or
indirectly foot the bill.”
