It may be G. B. Gorday & Son. A young fellow is stopping at G. B’s. home who claims an interest in the business and he will probab¬ ly be admitted to the firm in about 21 years. Quite a number of Ashburu young people will attend an en¬ tertainment at the home of Mr. J. M. Whiddon, near Sycamore, this (Friday) evening. It prom¬ ises to be a very enjoyable affair. Mr. R. A. Wliidby, we are sorry to say, is still indisposed. Mr. VVhidby has been on the sick list ever since Christmas, and his many friends sincerely trust that he may soon be restored to health. The constant drop of water Wear* away the hardest stone; The constant gnow of Towsor Masticates the toughest turno; The constant cooing lover t tarries off the blushing maid; And the constant advertiser Is the one that gets the trade. - Kxchance. Acquittal of 15. H. Cockrell. As to the case of the State vs. H. 11. Cockrell, charged with ac¬ cessary before and after the facts of tho murder of I). .1. Luke, which occurred at Sycamore, on the 213d day of December, 18DD, the facts of which are already familiar to the readers of The Advance, the case was taken up at 10 o’clock on Tuesday morning, consuming the remainder of the day. The State was represented by Busbee & Busbee and W.T. Wil¬ liams, while the defendant was represented by Capt. ,1. 11. Mar¬ tin, of Hawkinsville, and Colonel Z. Bass, of the Asliburn bar. Fourteen witnesses were sworn for the State. About 4o’clock in the evening the State closed. The defence swore not a witness, of¬ fering to submit the case without argument. Council for the State wanted to argue, which was agreed to. 'flic trial resulted in an acquit- tal. Judge Alex McKenney presid¬ ed in his usual dignified manner. Enlargement.

They put the subscription at the remarkable low price of $1.00 per year which will enable every pro¬ hibitionist in Georgia, no matter how poor, to take the paper. Let us send forward a good list from Asliburn. If you do not want to go to the trouble of sending in your own name, band yeur subscription to Rev. J. C. Flanders or J.

C. Dur¬ ham and have been removed to his lot, and he thrertens to rent them to Mr. who has mat¬ rimony on the brain. Mr. H. D. Smith, formerly of the Ashburu Advance and late of the Cordele Sentinel, has pur¬ chased the Vienna Progress lock- stoek-and-barrel, and has taken charge. His friends here wish him success in las new fild of labor. Sc!:oe! Happenings. Clipping* from the "School News." We suppose that our thought we gavo them rather a cold reception last Friday. Wo did not intend to do so, but iteer- tainly was “airy” in the audito¬ rium. More and more interest is being taken in tho Friday afternoon ex¬ ercises, especially since Professor Jetfcoat and Miss May Jenkins offered prizes in their department. The following conversation took plnce at Mr. Blank’s supper ta¬ ble: Mr. 15.—“My son, did you have to stay in on your history today?” Bobby—“No, sir. Pro¬ fessor didn’t call on me, Rain and absentees have been the prevailing fashion at school this week. Some of the pupils of the sixth grade could successfully compete with those of the higher grades in composition writing. The pupils of the music and elocution classes are practicing for a concert which is to bo given some time next month. Roll of honor in tho Intermedi¬ ate Department Ashburu High School and what it takes for a pu¬ pil to get his name there: 1st—Regular attendance, or if unavoidably absent lost lessons must be made up. 2nd—Pupils must be in place when bell rings, or render satis¬ factory excuse. 3rd—He must be quiet and or¬ derly in school house. 4th—He must make an earnest eff ort to prepare lessons, doing his night work and quietly attend¬ ing his duties during school hours. 5th—He must carry the full course of study and do his best in exercises required of the pupils. Surely it is not too much to ask that every pupil do his best, and yet that is all that is required to get your name on this honor roll. Parents, if your child’s name is not on this list ask him why. In this way you may encourage them to nobler effort. Many of the children are not provided wit h books. This is discouraging to them, and tends to disorder, as it encourages idleness, and idlers are mischief makers. Do not expect two children to study from the same book. It is a source of continual annoyance, and the children can’t do the work thev should do. In their efforts to make true men and wo¬ men of your boys and girls, the teachers need your sympathy and co-operation. J. B. Holmes, the Cordele cot¬ ton buyer, spent several days here this week and succeeded in purchasing a considerable amount of the fleecy staple. Mr. J. B. Bozeman, tho efficient manager of Betts & Co’s, mercan¬ tile establishments, is now in New York buying an immense spring anil summer stock of dry goods, notions etc. for his firm. To those who are going to come before the people for the various offices to he filled this year, The Advance would remind them that it costs them no more to announce their candidacy now than if it. were the day before election. We will carry you the round trip for $3, cash in advance, always. It, is time you were letling your wants be known. j The old . , school , .I house, which , . , “as J »een recently purchased by Mr. J. «. Shingler, has been moved to an adjoining lot and converted into a nice six dwelling. Mr. Tliad. G. Shirah is the contractor, which is antee sufficient that the work is well (lone. Dwelling houses are no greatly in demand in Asliburn, ' , audit might be well for others who have to follow Mr. , moans Nhillgler’s B example 1 — we don't mean to remodel chool houses, but lo build now mu A Lesson in Bargains To be taught those who will he taught during the next few weeks. Our Hat stock is hard to heat—Neat, New and Complete—and as low as low can ho Quito a nice Line of Dry Goods and Notions Are now on our shelves and wo do not expect them to reman there long if very low prices will usher them out. Those we liavo now—at your price and they are gone. Our Shoos arc Nice and Stylish, now and good, As we make this line a a special specialty we defy competition. We shall sell shoes at a price that will cause tho buyer to laugh and rejoice anil our competitors to stand and wonder. Como in friends—price, buy and ca.iry off. Also wo have a general Lino of Groceries and Confectioneries, which we are always glad to swap for dol- bus. Our fancy candies are in the lead here—all owing to the fact (bat they get fresh goods and a heap for a dime. Highest prices given lor hides, either fresh or dried. Respectfully, Shingler Mercntile Co. Prof. Thomas Walsh, the well known insurance man, who, like a bad penny, goes everywhere, returned to our little city on last Saturday, and is shaking hands with his friends. Every one likes the Professor, lie is a good, clever fellow. He is autograph¬ ed at the Pinnix House. SPECIAL SALE. From Now Until April ist.
