Our people are rapidly learning that Griffin is the place to trade.” The Senoia Sentinel says: “Dante must bavo had the town of Griffin in his mind when he wrote his immortal Inferno.” When the editor of the Ssntinel wants to havo a good time, he comes to Grifliu; it is to bo hoped that ho will find the Inferno equally pleasant wheu ho gets there.

THE CABINS DISTRICT MUHDEBEB . BUN DOWN. After Doing YTllhoat loed for Three Day* lie Is Brought to Griffin and Jelled, Yessterday morning about 8 o’clock a large, strong looking negro approached the cabin of Henry Mitchell, on John U. Mitchell’s plantation, and asked for breakfast, stating that he Had been with out food for three days. This statement, together with his appear ance, excited the suspicions of tbe inhabitants of the cabin, seeing which tbe negro pnt out, closely fol lowed by several colored laborers, who happened to bo armed. The race was a tight one, the fugitive being a good runner; but as fast as the ranks of the pursuers were de pleted by exhaustion other negroes in the fields were called in by the hue and cry, and the man was over taken near William Bryce's place, some two miles east of where be started, He was brought leisurely back toward town, after having been placed iu the Lands of C. B. Bost wick and JoLn Mitchell, and was lodged in jail early yesterday after noon. Messrs. Boswick and Mitchell were accompained by tho colored man, Andrew Floyd, the principal witness at the Coroner's inquest, who identifies tbe captured party as the same man who was seen with tbe dead boy a few minutes before the murder on Monday morning, al though his long tail coat was gone. Tho prisoner gives his name now as Albert Mazure^althongh be first gave another name, and says he has been working on tbe Covington & Macon Road, under Capt. Scott. This confirms tho snpposition that he was a railroad hand. The com mitment trial will be held before Squire Collens on Monday. “In the Hand* of Onr Friend’s.” “Muggins,” the Double Cabin’s correspondent cf the Henry County Weekly, makes this personal men tion in writing to his paper thiB week: “Mr. Editor, it will soon be time to send delegates to Atlanta to the State convention to elect delegates to the National convention at St- Louis. Our Fifth Congressional District is entitled to two votes in tbe convention at St. Louis, and we put in nomination for one of these tbe name of Mr. D Glessner, of tbe Griffin News. A more desirable man can’t be found in the Fifth Dis trict. He has done more for tbe Democratic party than any one in our district, and we hope Mr. tiless ner will be sent to St. Louis as a dele gate. The people of Spalding will send him to the convention in At lunta, and that convention can’t do no better than to send him to the National convention. Mr. Glessner is a solid Democrat, and through bis paper, the Griffis News, has advo cated aud defend democracy, and he should be sent to St. Lonis.” Upon this the Weekly kindly makes the following editorial com ment: “Mugging ” endorses Col. Doug las Glessner, of tbe Griffin News, as one of the delegates from the Fifth Congressional District to tho National Democratic convention at St. Louis. This suits our idea of propriety <.zactlj. and we think it but a just acknowledgment of the many services rendered the party by Col. Glessner. While we endorse Col. Glessner in unqualified terms we have a nomination to make in this connection: Send Col. Glessner from Spalding and Col. Emmet Womack from Newton. Womack is a good Democrat, and one who de serves weH at the hands of tbe party. Let ns send these two cole brates ” Artificial Ageing of Whisky. A way baa been found of ageing whisky artificially. A dealer showed the writer two samples of what he called the “straight’’ article; one was made in 1885, the other in July, 1887. They were equally good, he said, In color, bou¬ quet. taste and every other quality, and yet the 1887 sample was sold at f 10 less a the barrel whisky than makers the other. In other words, | can now furnish a three montlis’ article equal in every re¬ spect to that which is three years old. By this process they save the three years’ storage, interest and evaporation. The purchaser generally gets the benefit of this. The new process consists briefly of rocking the barrels day and night on patented “cradles.” Charred barrels are used, as is customary—that is to say, the barrel is burned out before the whisky is put in, thus converting the inner surface into charcoal. The constant motion for three months dissipates the fusel oil and imparts the rich color w hich new whisky has hitherto never had legitimately.— Philadelphia Times. * I - ... Cause or Decay la Steel. It has recently been discovered by a board of naval experts at the United States navy yard, Mare’s Island, Cal., that the of the sudden deterioration in the steel used in building the new cruisers tat the government is not due to the ravages of a worm, as was supposed, but is caused by the fungus peronosporus of tnfrutnnn, so well known as tbe cause potato rot. procured With the delicate apparatus the quali¬ by the government for testing ties and detecting fraud in metals in¬ tended for government uses, it has been ascertained that the minute spoils or suds, which float in the air, are introduced into the metallic body while in the molten state during the process of carbonization. They also find that this form of steel rot is alarmingly epidemic in much of tbe government material. A large and profitable field is open to inventors and scientific men who will do- vise means to arrest the spores of this fungus as they are drawn into the car¬ bonizing furnaces, or who can prevent their growth and spread either in the ingot or manufactured forms of steel.— Detroit Free Press. Wild Silkworms of India. For a number of years the deficiency in the production of mulberry silk has drawn the attention of sericulturists to the rearing of the wild silkworms of India, China, Japan, America and other parts, and a great many reports have been published on these wild silkworms, some of w’uch are already bred in a state of domesticity or semi-domesticity. Many of these wild silkworms produce siFk of great strength and beauty, and could all be profitably utilized if bred in their native lands on a large scale. Speci¬ men cocoons and carded and reeled silks of about twenty different species have been sent to the Societe d’Acclimatation, and they will bo exhibited in the Paris International exliibition of 1889, together with the specimens of the moths and prepared larva? of the various specie*.— Public Opinion. d wo impure great blood enemies— The Hood’s latter is Saisaparil utterly o ated by the peculiar medicine.
