THE ASHBURN ADVANCE
The Sam depot in Cordele was burned last night. J. C. Burnam is proud papa of a new boy which weighs 16 pounds, is nine inches across the shoulder, 18 inches around the bust, 23 inches tall and 6 1-2 around the arm next to the shoulder. That's another record breaker for Cordele. -- Cordele Times. The Daily Times tells us that Mr. W. H. Johnson, of Vienna, and Mrs. J. C. Brown, of Rochelle, met in Cordele the other day, and were married in a blacksmith shop. If the blacksmith welded the knot they needn't go to the courts to get it untied. Bass brothers announce ready for cotton. Mrs. J. Y. Sutton, of Ty Ty, died Friday night. Mr. J. W. Chapman and little Agnes Barrett visited Poulan Monday. Rev. Thos. Bullington, of Wilcox, was among his friends here yesterday. Miss Etta McDowell, of Isabella, is visiting Miss Emma Cox and Mrs. R. Huckabee. Mr. A.B. Wells informed us Monday that he will have a bale of new cotton out that day, but it has not been marketed. Mr. Daniel Reynolds and Miss Tipa Williams were recently married in Unica settlement. Mr. W. S. Fowler and Miss Mollie Willis, of the 8th district, were married on Sunday, the 21th ult. J. N. Welch, of Sylvester, has added new machinery to his gin, and now has one of the best in the State. Mr. A. B.

Three Sycamore boys -- Marcus Tinley, Willie Grubbs, and Stanley Bastey -- are students in Martin's Business College, and are making fine records. Bass and Davis have dissolved copartnership. Col. Davis remains at the old stand. Col. Bass has an office at the cotton warehouse, where he can look after cotton as well as law. The Poulan Herald says: "Our friend T. L. Kitchings has been carrying his neck in a sling" Fried Tom should have something sweeter around his neck, and somewhere to lay his head. Mrs. A. J. Gannon has been very low this week, even at the point of death. All of the doctors in town were with her. Her infant was born dead yesterday morning. She is better today, and the doctors are hopeful for her recovery. Rev. J. C. Flanders leaves today for Johnson county to spend a week with relatives and to assist his father in a meeting. His pulpit will be vacant Sunday, but there will be a prayer service, and the Epworth League will conduct the service Sunday night. A shirt of many colors has been found in a man's washing at Poulan, marked "Willie Grubbs", and the man is advertising it. Willie has not been torn up by a wild beast, neither has he gone to Egypt to be king or sell corn, but is in Martin's Business College, at Macon, making a man of himself. The Advance force has been feasting on a basket of grapes and peaches presented by editor Charlie Wilson, of the Poulan Herald. How J. W. Walker found out we had the fruit we cannot tell, but he cut up a block of ice just at that time to keep the boys cool. Great and noble are Charlie Wilson and J. W. Walker. We took a trip to Poulan Tuesday, and found that bustling little city bustling forward and growing like a pumpkin in wet weather. She has two excellent lawyers -- Parks and Adkins -- who are guarding carefully the legal interest of the town, and are looking out for their share of the general practice. See there cards. Henry Rhodes is a bad negro just out of the chain gang, and on his way back. He pocketed Clinton Patterson's pistol the other day and is in jail waiting for conveyance to Isabella. And that is not all. He hung around Howard Taylor's Saturday night with a gun watching for his wife and she swore he was trying to kill her. He is the same negro who borrowed money to go see his sister buried when she was shot dead. He is a bad negro. ______ POULAN PICKINGS
