Griffin, Ga.
Grilfin is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬
gressive town in Georgia. This is no hyper¬
bolical description, :ia the record of the last
live years will show.
During that time it lias built and pnt into
most successful operation a *100,000 cotton
aciory and is now building another with
nearly twioe the capital. It has pnt up a
a gc iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac¬
tory, an immense ice and bottling works, a
sash »ud blimt factory, a* broom factory
opened Up the 'nest granite quarry in the
L ..i*«.d State*•, and has many other enter-
pii>cs in ontemplatiou. It has secured
amdher .ulroad ninety miles long, and while
located on the greatest system iu the South,
the Central, has secured epnneetion with its
important rival, the East Tennsssee, Virginia
ami Ueorgia, ithasjust secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
tin ?<’• st, and has the President of a fourth
lallr.iad residing here and working
to its completion. With
it, live white and three colored
e'idrches,it is now building a $10,000 new

THE STAR.
A GREAT NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC
NEWSPAPER.
The Stab is the only New York newspaper
possessing the fullest confidence of the Na¬
tional Administration and the United Dem¬
ocracy of New York, the p diticnl battle
ground of the Republic.
Jeffersonian Democracy', pure and simple,
is good enough for the Star. 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
and corruption and despotism to the South.
For these four years past it has beenunswerv
ing in its fidelity the administration of Grov¬
er Cleveland. ,It is for him now—forCleve-
land and Thurman—for four years more of
Democratic honesty in onr national aftairs,
and of continued national tranqnility and
prosperity.
For people who like 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 economically
administered is essentially oppressive and
dishonest. The scheme fostered and cham¬
pioned by the Republican part-of making the
government a miser, wringing millions an
nuftlly from the pcopls and locking them np
in vaults to serve no purpose but invite waste
fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬
strous crime against tlie right of American
citizenship. Republican political jugglers
may call it ‘'protective taxation;” the Stab’s
name for it is robbery.
Through and through the Star is a great
newspaper. Its tone is i ure and wholesome,
its news service unexceptionable. Each i-sue
presents an epitome of what is best worth
knowing of the world’s history of yesterday.
Its stories are told in good, quick, pictur-
eque Edglish, and mighty interesting read¬
ing they are.
The Sunday Star is as good as the best
class magazine, aud 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,
art criticism, etc. Burdette’s inimatible hu¬
mor sparkles in its columns; Will Oarlcton’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
nnins,
The Weekly Star is a large paper giving
the cream of the news the w irld over, with
special features which make it the mo6t
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 The
Weekly Stab than from any other paper
It will be especially alert during the cam
paign, and will print the freshest and piost
reliable political news.

People Susceptible to Hypnotism.
Persona of a nervous constitution, and
in particular those subject to hysteria,
are most apt to fall into artificial sleep.
There is then produced in them a j>ecu
liar neurosis, hypnotism, having psychi¬
cal nud physical characters of its own—a
genuine disease presenting a diversity of
symptoms. Hence hypnotic phenomena
ought not to be called forth rashly nor
without the precautions suggested by
medical science. Women are specially
susceptible to hypnotic manipulation, par¬
ticularly during the-period between the
18th and the 30th year, when tho ner¬
vous system is in full activity. Young
men may be hypnotized, but it is very
difficult to produce hypnotic sleep in old
men or in children. Persons who in early
life are subject to natural somnambulism
or sleep walking are later in life good
hypnotic subjects, just as they are also
likely to be victims of hysteria and other
nervous complaints.
Many are the processes employed for
producing hypnosis. One that is very
frequently used consists in fixing the gaze
upon some bright object placed a little
above the eyes and in front of the median
line of Ihe forehead, so that visual fatigue
may ensue quickly, the eyeballs being
directed upward and inward. This pro¬
cess, or others of a like kind, may be em¬
ployed in the case of persons who have
never before been hypnotized. But after
awhile, when the subject has, so to speak,
been educated, various more expeditious
methods may be employed. Thus a jet
of electric light or a violent blow struck
on a gong near the ear of the subject will
quickly induce 6leep. Again, in hypno-
tizable persons, the surface of the body
often presents special joints, “liypnogenic
zones, ” as they are called, analagous to
the ‘‘hysterogenic zones.” Simple pres¬
sure upon these produces hypnosis.
Even in the case of tlie most susceptible
individuals rarely does sleep appear when
they, for the first time, undergo the hyp¬
notizing manipulations, however skilled
the operator may be. There is needed a
complete surrender of one’s will and ab¬
sence of all mental preoccupation, and
on the part of the company present abso¬
lute silence. In most cases exhibitions
of hypnotization develop, at first, only
vague phenomena not easily classified,
foreshadowing, so to speak, what will
follow latex 1 .—North American Review'.
A Plucky Frontier Woman.
On the plains, in Assiniboin, I found a
little lady in the larger of the only two
stores in the place, who told me that tho
Indians on a reservation close by had
begun to grow restless, and were mani¬
festing the fact by unusual insolence.
Only tlie day before a dozen of the braves
bad come into the store, when she was
stark alone in it, and had demanded
whisky, a commodity they were not al¬
lowed to touch and no one was permitted
to sell. She told them she had none,
and they sat, as Indians will, for a long
time, as if to show her they would not
go away until they got it. Curiously
enough, no one came to the store from
the settlement. By and by the Ir dians
proposed to search for tho whisky. She
laughed at them and told them they
could search. They did so, peeping and
poking everywhere that they could think
of. When they offered to go up stairs
to her living apartments, she stood in the
doorway and told them they must not
venture there. She flattened her back
against the door and defied them.
She was less than the ordinary height,
and did not weigh over 100 pounds, but
she quailed them with the eye of a brave
and determined woman, and when, pres¬
ently, some white men came to make
purchases the Indians took themselves
off. Only a few nights before that this
same woman had seen a wolf in her
back yard, and had gone out and
“shooed” it away with her apron and
scolding, just as one of our girls might
do to a cat. I never saw a man that I
thought more plucky than she. Per¬
haps, though, what no Indian or wolf
could do might be done by a mouse. Rut
it is beyond all reason to expect the
bravest not to fear a mouse.—Albany
Fair Journal.
Swiss and French Soldiers. «
There is very little contrast between
the Swiss and French soldier. Both are
below the stature of the German, Eng¬
lish and American soldier; inferior intel¬
lectually and physically. The Swiss war¬
rior wears a cap helmet, which makes
him look at once like a member of a
rural band in America. It is of black
cloth, with deep blue trimmingB and
with black silk braid about the edges.
The front is cocked and the rear slopes
and has the helmet brim. He wears a
navy blue cutaway coat, dark gray pan¬
taloons, and each is decked with a very
narrow red cord. At his side is a short,
heavy sword always. His side arms are
completed by a five-shot 42-calibre re¬
volver, heavy enough to be used as a
bludgeon in close quarters. Also, like with the
French soldier, the Swiss is armed a
magazine needle gun, and is given so
much active training that he is invariably
« fair marksman. In this, as nearly all
continental armies, there is by govern¬
ment authority an inducement for sol¬
diers to become fine marksmen. But
the pay of the continental soldier is so
low and generally his service so nearly
menial that he takes little interest in what
he does. The pay is aj»ut one-fourth
that of the American soldier and less than
half of that paid the English.—Cor. Fhila-

peach was a certain beater, and he
thought it would be a good shipper.
Mr. Van Dyke says plow deep, ma
nure heavy, plant deep, clean cul
lure and allow tomatoes to spread
out on the ground gave him best sue
cess.
Mr. Corbin plants Lis cabbage
deep and in cultivating draws soil
to the plant. Mr. Husted planted
cabbage in dead furrow and gather
ed dirt to them and had good heads
50 days from planting; cultivate deep
early, and shallow later. Mr. Ham
mond slated his experience was that
continued deep cultivation of cabbage
id not make good heads.
Mr. Husted mixed 4 bbl ashes, 1 lb
Hour sulphur and 1 qtsalt and spnnk
led on the cabbage worms with good
effect, but thought 1 bbl of ashes
would have been better proportion.
Mr. Van Dyke says only two vari
eties of cabbage viz. Early Jersey
Wakefield and Weinegstadt on ac
count of early forming of head, may
be called worm proof. Mr. Flynt re
ported laying China berry leaves on
heads had a effect
on worms.

bage salted.
Mr. Van Dyke stated that salted
water was an excellent fertilizer for
cabbage.
Mr. Husted said he felt flattered
at being re-elected president and
would continue to do the best he
could for the society, but could not
do all alone; but if every one would
add their mite of information gained
by experience and not be afraid to
speak out, the society will then be a
power lor good in the land. On mo
tion of Mr. Hassselkus meeting ad
journedto meet Friday, July 27, at
1 p. m. at Patterson’s Hall, Griffin,

FROM WILLIAMSON TO UREENViLLE
Trying fo Get the News to Our Subscrib¬
ers the Same Week.
Before the Georgia Midland was
built, it used to be very easy to got
the Weekly News to subscribers in
ibis section the same week it was
published. But the bu Idling of tha’.
road seems to have tangled up mn4
ters considerably and impeded rather [
than aided the progress of civiliza
lioni
Repeated complaints coming from
our subscribers at Hollonville, Erin
aDd other points on the star route
be veen Williamson and Greenville,
that the News published on Friday
did not reach them before Monday,
compelled ns finally to write to
Superintendent B. M. Turner, at At
lanta. Mr. Turner gave the matter
a gratifying promptness of attention,
and we tiust that our friends in
West I’iko and over in Meriwether
may all get their mail this week in
time to eDj'oy if.
Mr. Tur: er found the trouble to
be that under the existing schedule
the star route from Williamson to
Greenville leaves the former place
ono hour and 42 minutes before the
arrival of the morning train U -i
Griffin. The route is only tn-weeL,;-
and u:;> missing connection delays
the papers at Williamson two days.
To obviate the difficulty immediate
ly, Mr, Turner has ordered tho post
master at Griffin to make a pouch
daily for Williamsou and send it by
the conductor on the afternoon train
NUMBER 144
from Or-fh > to Columbus. The
News »iri go in Ibis pouch Thais
day nft-iUfcK-r.fi end h-nv« William
son all right Friday morning. Mean
time, Mr. Turfier will endeavor to
have the star schedule changed io
that it shall not depart before the ar
rival of the train from Griffin. Tho
only difficulty to bo apprehended is
that about the time the star schedule
is changed, the railroad will change
its schedule again, as they are in the
habit of doing pretty frequently.
This arrangement will confer a
great benefit not only upon the
many subscribers of tho News upon
this route, but upon every one re
ceiving mail in that section, and
their thanks are due Mr. T u ner for
the promptness, and energy he
has displayed in this r “or as soon
as his attention wai ; *y called
to it. Whatever < may be
made, our friendB rmy depend upon
our best endeavors to promote their
interests and facilities, and in this
we feel sure of the aid of the postal
authorities.

Fine Cotton.
The Americas Republican writes
as follows about the' fine crops of a
former citizon of this section:
“Capt. Dunbar, who farms upon
the red levels out near tho Plains of
Darn, has the finest field of cotton
that wo have heard of this season.
There arc sixty acres in the field, and
the stalks aie already ovor four feet
in height and growing rapidly. The
cotton is planted in four foot rows,
with the stalks about twenty inches
apart in the drill. Every Btalk is
heavily fruited, and the limbs are so
locked and inter-twined as to make
it almost impossible to walk between
tho rows, while in places so rank is
the growth that the ground is well
nigh invisible. Unless a Severe
drought attacks it, which is hardly
probable, Mr. Dnnbar will make
nearly a bale to tho acre on this
field.
