Griffin, Ga.
Griffin is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬
gressive town in Georgia. This is no hjper-
bolical description, as the record of the last
live years will show.
During that time it has built and put into
most successful operation a §100,000 cotton
actory and is now building another
nearly twice the capital. It has pat up
u ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac¬
tory, an immense ice and bottling works, a
sash and blind factory, a broom
opened up the finest granite quarry in
Ui.ited State®, and has many other
prises in outemplation. It has
another abroad ninety miles long, and
locateu on the greatest system in the
the Central, has secured connection witli
important rival, the East Tennsssee, Virginia
and Georgia, Ithasjust secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga
the \V( st, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and
to its completion.
its live white and three colored
churches, it is now building a $10,000 n ew
Presbyterian ohuroh. It has increased its
opulation by nearly one-fifth. It has
t rncled around its borders fruit growers
tan., every State in the Union, until it is
now surron;. Jed on nearly every side by
Uards an 1 vineyards. It is the home of the
rape an its wine making capacity
doubled every year. It has successfully
naugui iited a system of public schools,
seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of tharecord of a half decade
and simply shows the progress-of an
mirabic city, with the natural
having the finest climate, summer
nler, in the world.
Griffin is the county seat of
ounty, situated in west Middle Georgia,
healthy, fertile and rolling country,
eet above sea level, By i lie census of 1890,
will have at a low estimate between 6,000

nrt—wide-awake, up to the times, ready
weleome strangers anti anxious to secure
sirable aettlers, who will not be any less
come if they bring money to help
the town. There is about only one thing
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

THE STAR.
A GREAT NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC
NEAVSPAPER.
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 political 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 Republ ican wastefulness
and corruption and despotism to the South.
For these four years past ithasbeennnswerv
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 our national aflairs,
and of continued national tranquility and
prosperity.
For people who like that sort of Democracy
the Stab ia 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
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 taxation;” the Star’s
name for it is robbery.
Through and through the Star is a great
newspaper. Its tone is i urc and wholesome,
its news service unexceptionable. Each issue
presents an epitome of what is best worth
knowing of the world’s history of yesterday.
Its stories are told in good, quick, pictur-
eqne Edglish, and mighty interesting read¬
ing they are.
The Sunday Star is as good as the best
class magazine, and prints about the same
amount of matter. Besides tho 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 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
mans,
The Weekly Star is a large paper giving
the cream of the news tliewirld over, with
special features which make it the most
complete family newspaper published. The
farmer, the mechanic, tho business man too
much occupied to read a daily paper, will
get more for Jus dollar invested in The
Weekly Stab than from any other paper
It will be especially alert during the cam
paigr, and will print, the freshest and most
reliable political news.

. Cutes ot Smokers’ Vertigo.
I)r. Decaisno is reported as having re¬
cently investigated a number of cases of
vertigo in smokers. Out of 03 patients,
49 were between 50 and 66 years of age.
More than half of them suffered, in ad¬
dition, from digestive troubles, with con¬
stipation alternating with diarrhoea, in¬
somnia, palpitations, dyspnoea and
diuresis. In a third of the number there
was marked intermittence of tho puise,
and granular pharyngitis, while others
suffered from aphthae, amblyopia, etc.
Thirty-seven were persons who smoked
habitually on an empty stomach; and
the§e suffered from vertigo, principally
in tho morning. Tho vertigo generally
coincided with suppression of perspira¬ the
tion and diminished excretion of
urine. The treatment consisted mainly
in regulating or suppressing the cause, suffer
but 33 out of 37 patients ceased to
on merely refraining from smoking on
an empty stomach.—New York Medical

Child Labor In Germany.
The German laws are as near the ideal
os any. Children under 12 cannot bo
employed in factories; thbse under 14
must not labor beyond six hours :i vl::y ;
those between 14 and 10 may be held to
labor ten hours, and no more. They
must be allowed all Sundays and all holi¬
days, and regularly one hour at noon,
and half an hour in the forenoon and half
an hour in the afternoon as resting limes.
This law is guarded by provisions so rigid
that an American employer would de¬
nounce them as burdensome. Too much
cannot be done to prevent the feeding of
child life into our machines.—Globe-
Democrat .

The Story of a Werewolf.
A noblo gentleman of Brittany, in high
favor with the king, married a lovely
lady. There would have been no limitto
their happiness hut that three days out of
every week the gentleman mysteriously
disappeared. When pressed by his wife
for an explanation he confessed that ho
was a 13 i sc la ve ret or werewolf, and for
three days in the week was condemned to
assume a wolf’s shape. Tho lady was
sore troubled and determined to rid her¬
self of so objectionable a husband. Learn¬
ing that if the lord's clothes were stolen
after the metamorphosis was effected shape, he
could not resume his human she
and a false cavalier who loved her
watched him and got possession of tho
castoff garments. As from that day the
husband was no iporo seen 6ho married
tho cavalier.
One day the king was out hunting
when a wolf that had been sore pressed
by the hounds inado its way to him and
looked at him with so pitiful and human
an expression that the king’s heart was
touched. Ho spared it and brought it
homo to liis court. The animal proved
gentle and tractable and became a great
favorite. But one day when the false
cavalier came to court it jumped upon
him with a wild cry and bit liira severely.
And when some days later the wife
claimoil :m audience with the king tho
wolf tiew at her, too, and bit off her
nose. Swords were drawn and the wolf
would have been killed, but that a wise
man counseled tho prince to find out first
what could lie the reason of the wolfs
grudge to the lady and her husband.
And, being threatened with imprison¬
ment, tho lady, terrified, confessed all
she knew, and when the clothes of her
former husband were given to the wolf
ho was transformed into human shape
and the king rejoiced to recognize his old
favorite. The guilty pair were igno-
miniously banished. They lijred several
.years and find many children, all the
girls Vicing bom without noses.— Ameri¬
can Notes and Queries.
Plain Lectures oil Ilcalth.
If the women’s colleges w ould add to
their course of study a series of very
plain lectures on the care of health, it
would be worth any amount of Anglo-
Saxon literature on political economy.
Nothing would make a school more popu¬
lar than to supplement such lectures with
strict personal care of the habits of each
pupil. It would become a “beauty
school” in tiie full sense of the word, as
celebrated for sending out young ladies
with brilliant complexions as Harvard
for its athletics. And why is it not as
necessary for young ladies to have their
faces chased as to have their manners
and their grammar corrected? Now, the
most high minded and fastidious of Lady
Sylvias has a slender body, which works
over daily not less than seven pounds of
food and drink, or ought to, and throws
out no less than fivo pounds of waste by
its great ducts, tho bowels and kidneys,
and its millions of needle ducts in tho
skin. Really this is very terriblo for dis¬
cussion, and I warmly agree with her
majesty Victoria in thinking stomaclis
entirely unfit for mention to cars polite.
But thousands of women are losing
beauty and dying of painful disease for
want of knowing the full significance of
their internal economy and the care they
owe it.—Shirley Dare.
Puintiiig tho Baby’g Face.
A letter from Paris informs us that the
doctors are again at war with silly
mothers belonging to the fashionable cir¬
cles. The latest fanaticism of La Mode
is to apply the horrors of face painting to
little children. In the public gardens
babies of 3 years old may now be seen
whose eyebrows have been blacked or
dyed by their senseless mothers. Other
anxious parents, distressed at the vul¬
garly ruddy and rustic hue of their chil-
dre s cheeks, carefully powder them
bef e sending them forth to meet the
ga: and criticism of tho world. Little
coquettes of 10 years are not permitted
to ; o abroad until tho regulation black
stroke has been painted beneath their
eyes. The doctors warn the mothers
that when the children thus barbarously
treated reach the ago of 16 they will
have a colorless and ruined complexion,
to say nothing of the injury to health,
which is an argument less likely to pro¬
duce much effect.—Pall Mall Gazette.
