Griffin & the county seat of
county, situated hi west Middle Georgia,
a healthy, fertile and roiling country,
feet above sea level. By the census of 1890,
will have at a low estimate between 6,000
7,000 people, and they are all of the
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready
woleome strangers afid anxious to secure
sirable settlers, wjiowill not be any less
come if they bring money to help build
the town. There is about only one thing we
need badly just now, and that is a big hotel.
We have several small ones, but their
modations are entirely too limited for
business, pleasure and health seeking guests.
If you see anybody that wants a good loca¬
tion for a hotel in the 8»nUi, Just*
Griffin.
Griffin is the place where the

changed to keep up with the times.
