There is about only one thing we need badly just now, and that is a big hotel. We have several small ones, but their accom¬ modations are entirely too limited for our business, pleasure and health seeking guests.

GRIFFIN GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY Li i88B 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.

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- adelphia Times.

Tho regular meeting of ihe Horti cultural Society was held at Vine yard Station on Tuesday afternoon, July 10th, with a good atlendar.ee and many visitors, who arc always welcome. President Husted called the meeting to order, minutes of last meeting were read and adopted. The Treasurer’s report for the year was read and approved. Mr. Oettcr made a statement about the State Horticultural Society aud an invitation was read from their secretary to fruitgrowers, that alj such as desired to attend the meeting at Thomasvilie, August 1, 2 and 3, should send in tlje yearly fee of $2 by July 15, and such would have free passage to and from place of meeting, and the Express Company grants free delivery of exhibits to same. On motion of Dr. Mitchell, the chair appointed Dr. Mitchell, Mr. Ham mond and Mr. Oetter as a committee to confer with city officials to take action to invite the next yearly meet ing of the State Horticultural Society at Griffin, Qu motion of Mr. Oc'.tcr Messrs. Hammond and McLean were elected members of the society. The President called Mr. Hassel kus to the chair during tho election of officers, who were all unanimously re-elected: Mr. Husted, Prest; Mr. Hasselkus, Vice Prest; Mr. Warder, Sect’y;and Mr. Oetter, Treasurer. Committees were then appointed and after a recess reported as follows: On Vegetables—find on the table the finest Early Rose of the season and a mammoth head of Early Sum mcr Cabbage, from Mr. Chas. Corbin; one Willoughby Egg Plant, some fine Peerless potatoes, also excellent specimens of Livingston's Perfection and Livingston’s lieauty tomatoes, from Mr. Warder; from Mr. Stanley Optimus tomatoes; extra fine Ad vance and Optimus tomatoes, large solid nead of Jersey Wakefield cab bawe, remarkable for its freedom from worms, a bunch of rheubarb and a jar of A, No. I. pickles, from Mrs. Van Dyke; Mr. Wayman shows two stalks of corn 12 feet 8 inches high.

Clark & Son. kus stated that tin gnat E r tern 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. Mr. Taylor stated salted water no good, that worms preferred their cab 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, and a full attendance of visitors and exhibitors is desired. W«. Warder, Sect’y, 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.

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. * 4 KIH c POWDER Absolutely Pure. This Powder never vanes.
