You Should Consider the Griffin Mar ket and Encourage Same. “Half rates to Atlanta and return. I Gives patrons on opportunity to visit the capital city of the empire stale of the South Unexcelled opportunities for shopping,” are words in large dis play lines printed in red ink upon a circular being distributed in our city by the railroads. To the railroads we have nothing to say. It is their business and we wish them success. But a word to our citi zens if you please: It was not the circular that attracted the Call’s at tention, but the one line “Unexcelled opportunities for shopping.” We know too well what this means to our merchants, a class of men who do more to build up our city, in every way possible, than all the railroads of the land, for on the days mentioned in the circular great crowds will go up from this place to the capital city to do their shopping. And what does Atlanta dolor us? Sell better goods at lower prices than our merchants We deny the importa tion and state positively that if the ladies (for they are the principal shop pers in Atlanta) would buy of our merchants, they would handle the same grade of goods that is on the market elsewhere and sell them just as cheap. If you area true citizen of Griffin, and care for its prosperity, then we say it is your duty to buy here. We appeal to one and al! in the interest of our own good, to lay aside the notoriety of foreign shopping and if you go to Atlanta let it be on pleas ure and not to r<b Griffin.

A heavy rainstorm came up . soon after the starting, causing a delay I by scattering the flotilla. At 11 ;30 o’clock the Rapidan, which I had worked to the southward, opened ; i fire on the rebels, who were holding a , position four miles from the town. 1 he ■ ' fire demoralized the Filipinos, many'' I of whom fled toward the hills and the' > town in confusion Sharp shooters ■ went ashore, under the protection of the Rapidan’s gun, which shelled the ’ roads about the landing place Two battalions of the Fourteenth ■ infantry, under Capt Hasbrouck, fol- ' i lowed and together they attacked the 1 insurgents, who retreated before the fire of the Americans. > A battalion of the First North Da 1 i kota, under Maj. Fraim, and a battal* 1 i ion of the First Idaho, under Captain Finck, were then towed ashore by the New York Sun’s launch. These troops ' deployed as skirmishers, on the left 1 flank of the troops, now marching to 1 ward Santa Crux from the south. The 4 only opposition met whs from small bodies of insurgents in ambush along ‘ the roads. ’ Meanwhile, the Mangula De Bay was attacking the rebels entrance of ' the river, north of the town. Darkness was approaching and the 1 Americans who had iatided were still two miles from town. A halt was * made and the troops bivoucated. In the grey of the dawn yesterday ' morning the advance was continued The rebels made a desperate stand bu' were driven out in coufusiou and ths!" Americans occupied the town.
