This is no hyper¬ bolical description, ae the record of the last live years will show. During that time it has built and put into must successful operation a #100,000 cotton actory and is now building another with nearly twice the capital. It has pntupa u ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac¬ tory , an immense ice and bottling works, a sash and blind factory, a broom factory, opened up the finest granite quarry in the U cited States, and has many other enter¬ prises in contemplation. It has secured another railroad ninety mile# long, and while located on the greatest system in the South, the Central, has secured connection with its important rival, the East Tonnsssee, Virginia aud Georgia, It hns just secured direct inde¬ pendent connection with Chattanooga and the \V. st, and has the President of a fourth railroad residing here . and working to secure its completion. With iu live white and ' three colored oh arches, it is now building a $16,000 new Presbyterian church. It has Increased its l>opolation by nearly one-fifth. It has at- ,i ■. t arotr’.dits borders fruit groweTs from . nearly every Slate in the Uniqp, until it is now sun unded on nearly every side by or¬ chards and vineyards. It is the home of the grape ud its wine ihaking capacity has doubled every year. It has successfully inaugurated a system of public schools, with a seven years curriculum, second to none. Tills is part of the reoord of a half decade and simply shows the progress of an already admirable city, with the natural advantages of having the finest climate, summer and winter, In the world. Griffin is the county seat of Spalding county, situated in west M iddle Georgia, with a healthy, fertile and roiling country, 1150 feet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it will have at a low estimate between 0,000 and 7,000 people, and they are all of the right, sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to welcome strangers and anxious to secure de¬ sirable settlers, who will not be any less wel¬ come if they bring money to help build up the town. There is about only one thing we need badly just now, and that is a bighotel. We have several small ones, but their accom¬ modations are entirely too limited for our business, pleasure and health seeking gnests.

GRIFFIN GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, JOEY 6 J88« THE STAR. A GREAT NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER. The Stas is the only New York newspaper possessing the fullest confidence of the Na¬ tional Administration and the United Dem¬ ocracy of New York, the political battle ground of the Republic. Jeffersonian Democracy, pure and simple, is good enough for the Stab. Single hand¬ ed among the metropolitan press, it has stood by the men called by the great Democ¬ racy to redeem, the government from twenty-five years of Republican wastefulness aud corruption and despotism to the South. For these four years past lthasbeenunswerv ing in its fidelity the administration of Grov¬ er Cleveland. It is for him now—for Cleve¬ land and Thurman—for four years more of Democratic honesty in onr national affaire, and of continued national tranqnility and prosperity. For people whollke that sort of Democracy the Stab is the paper to read. The Stab stands squarely on the National Democratic platform. It believes that any tribute exacted from the people in excess of the demands of a government economic ally administered is essentially oppressive and dishonest. The scheme fostered and cham¬ pioned by the Republicanpart-of making the government a miser, wringing millions an nually from the people and locking them up in vaults to serve no purpose but invite waste fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬ strous crime against the right of American citizenship. Republican political jugglers may call it ‘-protective taxationthe Stab’s name /or It is robbery. Through and through the Stab is a great newspaper. Its tone is i ure and wholesome, its news service unexceptionable. Each issue presents au epitome of what is best worth knowing of the world’s histofy of yesterday. Its stories are told in good, quick, pictur- eque Edglish, and mighty interesting read¬ ing they are. The Sunday Stab is as good as the best class magazine, and prints about the same amount of matter. Besides the day’s news it is rich in spesial descriptive articles, sto ries, snatches of current literature, reviews, ark eritioism, etc! Burdette’s inimatible hu¬ mor sparkles in its columns; Will Carleton’s delightful letters are of its choice offerings. Many of the best known men and women in literature and art are represented in its col umns, The Weekly Stab is a large paper giving the oream of the news the w >r!d over, with special feature a which, make it the' most complete family newspaper published. The farmer, the mechanic, the business man too much occupied to read a daily paper, will get more for his dollar invested in Thr Weekly Stab than from any other paper It will be especially alert during the cam paign, and will print the freshest and most reliable political news.

It wouJd probably be a gratifying as suranee to the minds of many travelers to know what great care is taken to secure perfect cleanliness in the more luxurious classes of railroad coaches, known variously ns sleeping, drawing room, dining and buffet ears. A con¬ viction Is widespread, particularly among women, that the reverse is the case. The blankets that are always so strangely suggestive of cold buckwheat cakes, being of a feel and thickness unlike any other blankets, are vere apt to be viewed with suspicion. As for the pillows, how many women have vowed that they could sniff the hair oil of the preceding user upon them? Why, even bed bug stories have a vo been uecu told kjki of oi sleeping sleeping cars, cars, and the anecdote anecdote about dropping a gold dollar in a sleeping car and finding it a become month afterward fterward Just where it fell, has such a stock story among travel¬ ing men that some of them now actually Is beliove it. In view of all this, there solid comfort in such a story as Superin¬ tendent C. D. Flagg tells about what is done witli their cars at tli$ conclusion of every trip. ITe says: “FN-eiy car. as soon as it is emptied of its passenger* at n terminal point, is, as we term it. 'stripped' In the yard. The carpets are taken up, carried out, beaten and aired, 't he seats and hades are taken out and thoroughly cleaned in like manner. The mattresses, blankets and berth curtains are also whipped, aired and. if the weather permits, sunned. The spring beds are freed from the ‘bed dust, that gathers from fraying of textile fabrics, by brushing and wiping carried in all parts All utensils are out, soused in scalding lye and scrubbed. The pillows are beaten and sunned like the mattresses Die floor and oilcloths in the saloons are scrubbed, and all the woodwork, having been scoured thor¬ oughly clean with soap, brushes, hot water ana drying cloths, is gone over with furniture polish. About once a week the veneering or painted canvas constituting the ceiling Is carefully scoured to cleanse from it accumulations of smoke and clinging dusk The win¬ dows are cleansed and rubbed bright All brass and silver mountings are pol¬ ished. Dust and stains are as carefully washed from the outside of the car as from the inside. To do that work we lieep 100 cleaners steadily at work here in Now York, and numbers at other points in proportion to the work required. While all this has been going on, every shred of textile fcfcrics that should be washed—sheets, pillow cases, towels, napkins the and laundry cushion and covers—has been sent to stock replaced by a clean of articles. Each car has two complete outfits of these things, which laundried, axe used aud alternately, packed while one being aired the other is on the road. “Then, when the process is complete, the car has to be retrimmed, by the re¬ laying of carpets and oil cloths; putting in plara of the springs, mattresses, seats and backs; stowing away of the pillows, linen and curtains, and, last of all, the thorough washing out of the water tanks and refilling them with fresh water and ice. That last thing is never done until the final moment when the car is about to be drawn from the yard to take its place in the outgoing train. While all this has been going on the railroad peo¬ ple who aro responsible for the care of the running gear of the car Inspect the trucks, test the brakes, sound every wheel, see that the boxes are rightly packed, and, as far as foresight can go, make sure accidents shall be averted. “That is the regular routine, scrupu¬ lously followed every day upon every car that comes in. No housewife, even in Holland, ever dreamed of such a thorough ‘house cleaning’ a» this is. In addition thereto, the blankets are steam scoured twice a year, which is at least double the attention they get in most hotels. The berth curtains are treated so once a year. Carpets have to be renewed every fifteen or eighteen months, as the hard service wears them out very rapidly. The only variations upon that elaborate process recess of cleaning are in handling the dining room and buffet cars, where the operations involve thorough purification of all utensils, cleansing of the ioe boxes and kitchens and restocking with pro¬ visions. One rule always maintains that the primary into thing to be done when Hie car comes the hands of Hie cleaners is to take out of it everytliing that can be taken out. Then every separate piece so removed must be made faultlessly clean before it is put back. “Each dining room or buffet car has its steward, whose duty it is to report to the assistant commissary immediately upon his arrival what stock he has left over and what be is short of. To verify his report the assistant commissary, who acts as a check upon him, goes through his stock and then makes out, to replace shortages and keep up the supplies, a requisition upon the commissary. That requisition is filled out upon a blank form, on which are specified about 300 articles in constant use on those cars, with spaces left for the addition of more as the con¬ ditions of the markets enable increase in the resources of our commissariat. In all the management of this department there is just suck a sys tem of checking in and checking out as obtains in the •stock’ room of every big hotel Ail groceries, wines, liquors, ana other non- perishable goods are bought the in great quantities, houses and kept in requisition company’s store for issue upon as demanded; but fresh meats, poultry, game, fish, vegetables and fruits are pur¬ chased by the comm is s a ry in the mar¬ kets fro*i day to day, orfsuppUed such things by con¬ tract with dealers, just as are provided by the steward of a hotel”— New York Son. FROM FLAT SHOALS. Building New Hanses and Factories and Talking Pelittc*. Flat Shoals, Ga., July 6, — W« have had fine rains and a great deal of wind, which did considerable dam age to cropsthroaghoat this section. The river it on another boom and raging over its banks. That jolly old man Byrd Lovett has been released and is again able to be ont. Byrd Lovett is one of Meriwether’s most substantial farm era. He lives at home and boards at the same place. T. J. Williamson has boea thresh ing several days, bat wheat is a great deal sorrier than any one thongbt it to be. Oats is not near so good as thought would be. Jesse Brown has commenced to bnild him a nice six room house, which promises to be a beautiful place when finished. Mr. Brown al ways does things right. F. K. Undo wood is preparing to build a nice hoase; the plans have not yet been finished, but will be a good building. Mr. Crouch and Mr. Miller are pot ting np a chair factory about 5 miles from 8bnals. The gin men arc ail preparing to be ready to gin this fall. Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Clark, of Gay, Ga., returned home from Clarksville, Ga., Monday where he has been on duty as storekeeper and gnager. Mr. Haywood had a milch cow bit by a mad dog a few days ago. D. N. Freemau has gone to Allan ta, Mrs. H. W. Bawls spent Monday and Tuesday in Conoord. J. A. McKnight has gone to Bead, Ga. r * John McKnight, of Senoia, is visit ing his brother J. A. McKnight at the Shod*. I would like ask a question for the benefit of of the readers of the News. In a county that has a registration law, and a good citizen in the county has paid all taxes and complied with the laws in every way, bnt failed to register, can he hold any offices le gaily in the county T In other words when be is not entitled to a vote can he bold offices T If so, what isw is there to compel a man to register? If so, what good is derived from the law, when it allows one and not the other ? Meriwether seems to be at a loss to know whom to pat ap for Bepre sentatives. The people seem to think the name of Byrd Lovett for one. and I think be eonld be a good man ; in fact, do not know of a bet teer one—and A. C. Snelsoo for an other. Both of the above names would do boner to the good old conn ty of Meriwether, Tbo writer would be glad to see them elected. £. C. Thrash is also a good man and bas represented the county. The other gentlemen spoken of are Messrs Hill and Terrell, Uts former representatives and prominent yonng lawyers. Bat it seems that the farm ers are not altogether satisfied in this county someway—so one cannot foretell nor give any idea what will be. it any rate thiogs promise te be lively. T.

Connecticut and Indiana Ike Twe Bones Washinton, July 5.— “The key to the whole political situation rests with Connecticut and Indiana,” said Representative Yanee of the Nutmeg State yesterday. ’’Cleveland and Thurman may carry New York and New Jersey, as they undoubtedly will, bnt if the Repnelictns retain the States that went for Blaine in 1884, and in addition obtain the electoral votes of Ihdiana and Connecticut, Harrison and Morton will be Misted. The Democrats are not to have a walk over by any mean*; and the sooner the fact is recognized the bet tex. Connection?, a« is known, is an exceedingly donbtfnl State. It never gives a plurality for either side of over a few thousand. Since 1872 ita electon ’ vote has alternated from one party to the other in every Pie* idential campaign. In 1872 it went for Grant and Wilaon; in 1876 for Tilden and Hendneks; in 1880 for Garfield and Arthur, and in 1884 for Cleveland and Headricks. This year, in order to oarry ont the natnr al order of rotation, it seems that it ought to go for Hartison and Mor ton, bnt I think the role will foil this time and the electoral vote of the State be cast for Cleveland and Thar man by a small majority." ‘‘How about the Mugwump vote tb^re?” “ibont fifty per oent of it, I think will vote for Cleveland and the otb er fifty per cent, for Harrison. About one half of them are in favor of tariff reform, and the other half bolted the Republican ticket in 1884 because they conldn’t stand Blaine.” “What about the tariff issue tnere?” ‘‘Well, the Republicans are going to maintain that the Democractio par ty is in favor of free trade. If the Mills Bill is examined, however, H will be seen that it ia anything else bnt a free trade measure, the red no tion being only from forty seven to forty two per cent., as whole. The industries of Connecticut, too, are very well protected, and when the bill is explained to the people there they will see that they have no right to complain. The chances of carry ing the State for the Democracy are are jost as good as they were in 1884.” What Mr. Vance bas to say of Connecticut, with the exception of the Mugwump vote, will apply equal ly to Indiana. In twenty eight years Indiana and Connecticut have only given their eleotoral vote twice to the Democratic candidate, and eo inci dentally the same years, 1876 and 1884._ Celebrating the Feotih. The 4th of July was celebrated in Griffin in an amateur day pigeon contest, the prize being a gold medal offered by the Novelty Com¬ pany. Most of the members of the Gun Club being in Columbus, Capt. Sorrell formed a new company, prin cipally of juveniles, a few old boys taking a part to encourage the game. Capt. Sorrell won the medal, hit. ing fourteen pigeons mat of twenty, a vi ry good reoord for one who h. » had no practice.
