(joiie and doing to New Vork.
Some of our merchants are at
present in New York, others pro
pose going in the near future to
buy direct from iiianufactiirer'H
agents their spring stock of dry
goods, notions, hats shoe.-, etc.
This is an index finger pointing
to what the future of Ashbum
w ill be. Most merchants in conn-
try towns buy their goods from
the irrepressible drummer, travel-
ing very oYten from local mar-
hots, ottering goods that have
passed through many mercenary
and middlemen's hands. Ho the
uninitiated can see at a glance
the advantage accruing to them
by dealing with Ashburn merch¬
ants.
By our merchants buying from
headquarters Ashburn is put on
tiie same plane with Midi towns
as Atlanta, Macon, Savannah and
other large towns, as there are
none of these places go farther
than New Vork lor their merch¬
andise. Indeed there would he
no use in tliom doing so, lor
the exception of a few markets
for specialities in Europe, New
York leads the world.
Besides th<‘ advantage of buy¬
ing goods at manufacturer’s pri¬
ces, Gy going to New Vork our
merchants, when on the ground
there, will lie in a position to avail
themselves of many bargains dai¬
ly offered, such as bankrupt
stocks, clearing sales etc. These
in themselves would place our
merchants in a position to give
such inducements to buyers as to
largely increase the trade of Ash-
bum.
Keep your eyes on our adver¬
tising columns as no doubt our
wide awake merchants will let
you know through them what
they have to oiler you.
Much interest lms been
among the legal fraternity of the
West by the remarkable action
at law brought by Mrs. Catherine
Smith against the city of Colum¬
bus, Kansas, for $15,000 damages,
on the ground that through the
neglect of the proper authorities
to enforce the prohibition law her
husband has become an habitual
drunkard.
The High Springs, Fla., Senti¬
nel, is a lirst-class local newspa¬
per—in fact it is one of our news¬
iest exchanges. Its local columns
are just all right, and we’ll wa¬
ger that old man George Butler
is partially responsible for it.
We think we know the trade¬
mark. By the wav, Major, ain’t
you past due here?
If present indications go for
anything there will bo no oppo¬
sition to the nomination of Mr.
Bryan. He is touring the North¬
ern States, and at every appoint¬
ment is being heard with much
enthusiasm by thousands of peo¬
ple. Those who opposed him in
1890 are now among his most ar
dent adherents.
With the plague in Hawaii,
polygamy in the Sulus, dormant
yellow fever germs in Havana
ami Aguinaldo in the Philippines,
we have indeed enriched our¬
selves with a varied assortment
of pestholes under the McKinley
administration, says the Verdict,
of New Vork.
The Boers have astonished the
world by the sturdy stand they
are making against England, the
greatest power in the world.

Helen Gould's Services.
It is in accordance, therefore,
with the chivalry of American
manhood Hint Helen Gould's Ber-
vices to the nation should be pub-
acknowledged, says the Olii-
cago News, Ohjeetions on the
- core of precedent have been
raised to giving her the thanks of
congress, but those who cavil at
this form of recognition gladly
add they believe she should be
given a medal of honor,
To l ight the Trusts.
At a mass meeting of fanners
Greenwood county, S. Judd
recently, the following resolu¬
tions presented by ex-,Senator
Gaines were unanimously adopt¬
ed :
“Whereas, the price of fertali-
y.ers are being advanced arbitrari-
Jy through the influence of a trust
and to an extent not justified Ivy
the commercial conditions.
“lb-solved, 1—That we, the
fanners of Greenwood county, S.
hereby appeal to the farmers
of the state and the cotton states
to hold meetings at their respect¬
ive court houses on the first Mon¬
day in February and that the}'
pledge themselves not to purchase
fertilizers at an advance exceed¬
ing 10 per cent over last year’s
prices.
“2—That we regard 10 per cent
advance in prices of fertilizers as
much as the conditions justify,
and we advise farmers not to pur¬
chase any fertilizers at more than
10 per cent advance over last
year’s pric?s.
”3—That all newspapers are re¬
quested to publish these resolu¬
tions and help the farmers to
thwart flic* designs of the perni-
cous fertilizer trust.’’
The farmers agreed to stand by
t hese resolutions and not to pur¬
chase fertilizers till prices were
made in accordance with these
resol ut inns.

Across the slate,

They're tramping o'er the highways,
They’re visiting the schools;
The hedges and the byways
Resound to bray of mules,
For it’s "Vote, vole, vote!”

It's "Vote, vote, vote,!"
Some of Ashburn’s prettyost

Miss Molhe Cook, one of Ash-

many friends.
i i No man is exempt from ar¬
rest.” ’Tis an old saying, but oh
how true. Sometime ago Ash-
burn’s barber, R D. Law, became
involved in a law-suit with the G.
S. K- F. Ry., and it was thought,
that the matter had been adjust¬
ed. The ease assumed a different
phase this week, however. Mr.
Law had a warrant issued for Agt.
R. Huckrbee and a trial was had
before Justice Z. Bass on Wednes¬
day. A satisfactory settlement
was effected and the warrant dis¬
missed. Col. J. A. Comer repre¬
sented the Prosecution and Col. It.
