Tnere i9 no disputing the fact that Griffin has, as usual, been the best cotiou market iu this section the past season, buying not only here but absorbing the receipts of 8ur rounding villages like Barnesville, Jackson, Senoift, Thomaston and other smaller places; and that the highest prices could be paid is shown by the fact that these purchases are made not to sell to other places in this country, which wool 1 again make their profits out of Liverpool, but arc shipped direct to the latter place from here.

At a considerable outlay of time and money the News has b6en able to obtain exclusive proprietary right to a numbei t>f good resolutions for the new year, bat while possessing a monopoly we have no desire to rob those deserving people who are at ways in search of such articles, con sequeDtly have made a very low price on them. We give below a few samples of the lot, with prices attached to each, and invito the pat ronage of all who desire to live aright in the New Year. The sea son is getting a little late for good resolutions, but as there are a large number of people in this section who seem to be still noprovided, we hope to dispose of this choice lot by offer ing them at cost—to the purchaser. 1. Resolve not to get into debt, not to run auy account, and to lay by a little money every month. (This will bo given free and a chromo ac company it to all who will give bond to faithfully keep it) 2. Resolve that you will aid all eu terprises calculated to enhance the interests of Griffin and build up the city. (To those who have shown tbis k ud of a spirit duriug the past, the price for tbis resolution will be one tenth of their income. We have a list of a few rich men to whom tbis resolution vuill be given free, accom panied with a vote of thanks by the community.) 3 Resolve to quit smoking and chewing for twelve months. (As this will prove a saving of from <50 to §100 a year, we will average it and charge §75 for a copy of this resolution.) 4. Resolve to quit getting drunk. (This is a good resolution, aud worth money, and people ought to be will mg to pay liberally for it. To in sure it to stick, not to ravel, or to run down at the heel we will require the small fee of §50 in advance. The purchaser will gain enough in self respect to make tbis a good invest ment.) 5. Resolve to be good to yourself aud family, and advance your own interests as well as those of the city, by subscribing for the Daily News. (This is the best resolution in the whole assortment and we have no doubt will prove veiy popular. It will cost just ten cents a week, or §5 00 a year to faithfully observe ths.) 6. Resolve to go to church at least once a year—once a week, we mean. (This is a little difficult of execution on tho part of some men, but we will make tne price to suit the means of the applicants. Call early.) 7. Resolve to quit lying. (As this resolution is a very difficult one to carry into practical effect, we cannot insure it to woik tvuiy time, and must charge a pretty stiff price for it. Protectionist editors r cannot have it at any price, for they are sure to break it every day in the week,) 8. Resolve to do justice to your business and advertise the whole year aronnd in the Daily aud Wrbk ly News. (Tbis is the second most valuable resolution io tbis choice lot and is warranted to make its owner rich if properly adhered to. It will be sold at so ranch per inch or reduced prices for larger lots, and all very cheap for the value given.) 9. Resolve that Griffin shall not be found another year almost total ly unprotected from the ravages of fire. (This will be given free to all aldermen who will vote for water woiks. and as it is to their own vital interest as well as that of tbeir con 8titueuts, it should be accepted with tnnnks.) When these resolntioDS are dis posed of, we still have a few more of the same kind. Please call and ex amine oar stock before it is too late. Written for the News. DER RAVEN- 1.
