iieCriFFin VOLUME 17 Griffin, Ga. Orillia is the lireliest, pluckiest, most pro¬ gressive town in Georgia. This is no hyper¬ bolical description, as the reeord of the last lire years will show. During that time It has built and put into most .successful operation a $100,000 cotton aetory and is now building another with nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up a a 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 1'i.ited State*, and has many other enter¬ prises in on temptation. It has secured another ailroad ninety miles long, and while ocatca on the greatest system in the South, the Ccutral, has secured connection with its important rival, the East Tennsssee, Virginia nut! Georgia. It has just secured direct inde¬ pendent connection with Chattanooga and the Wi st, and has the President of a fourth railroad residing here and working to its completion. With its live white and three colored o'i arc hes.it is now building a $10,000 new Presbyterian church. It has increased its population by nearly one-fifth. It has at- triiHed nround its borders fruit growers from earij every State in the Union, until it is how surrounded on nearly every side by or- Imrds ai<4 vineyards. It is the home of the rape an J its wine making capacity has doubled every year. It has successfully naugurated a system of public schools, with a seven years curriculum, second to none. This is part of the reoord of a half decade sml simply shows the progress of an already mirable city, with the natural advantages .having the finest climate, summer and uter, in the world. ' * v Griffin is the county seat of Spalding ounty, situated in west Middle Georgia, with healthy, fertile and ruling oountry, 1150 eet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it will have at a low estimate between 6,000 and too people, and they are all of the right, ni t— wide-awake, up to the times, ready to welcome strangers and anxious to secure de- irable 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 big hotel. We have several small ones, but their accom. modations are entirely too limited for our business, pleasure and health seeking guests. If you see anybody that wants a goed loca- tionfor a hotel in the South, just mention Griffin. ...Griffin is the place where the Gbikvin News is published—daily and weekly—the vest newspaper in the Empire State of the Georgia. Please enclose stamps in sending for sample copies. This brief sketch will answer July 1st, lSdS. By January 1st, 1889, it will have to be changed to keep up with the limes.

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 Stak. 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 th* South. For these four years past it has beenunswerv 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 afiairs, and of continued national tranquility and prosperity. For people who like that sort of Democracy the Stab is the paper to read Hie Bta. otimcL 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 Stab’s uame 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 arp told in good, quick, pictur- eque Edglish, and miirlity interesting read¬ ing they are. The Sunday Stak 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, 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 umns. The Weekly Star is a large paper giving the cream of the news thewirld over, with special features 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 t 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 most reliable political news.

Vi>iltois Who Come and Go at Wood¬ bury—News of the Crops and Candidates. Woomunr, Ga., July 18.—The farmers all busily engaged trying to fininsk laying by their crops. As a general thing crops are looking very line,still some complaint is be ing made of rust or something of the kind. Next Monday is the time set apart to commence to move the M. E. church from where it now stands, 1£ miles west of this place, into town. Trie ladies of the neighborhood have made a thorough canvass of the sur¬ rounding comm unity to raise money enough to defray the expenses of moving the church. No doubt they will be successful. The entertainment given by the Ladies Aid Society last Friday night was a perfect success. There was a large crowd in attendance and every body seemed to enjoy themselves im mensely. Misses Annie Davidson and Nemie hreeman, two of Greenville’s most beautiful and accomplished belles, spent Friday and Saturday in our city as the gnests of the Misses Wales. Miss Clare Baker, of Troy, Ala., who has boen spending sometime with relatives here, returned to her home last Sunday accompanied by her cousin, Miss Janie Wales, one of Woodbury’s most fascinating Misses. Mis Bessie Itaines, who has been iho guest of Dr. Dixon’s family for the past two weeks,, returned to her home in Talbotton on yesterday, much to the re,gret of her many riends here. Mr. and Mrs.. George Stewart, who have been spending sometime with friends and relatives here, have returned to Griffin, where they will spend a few days then will go to New York, where Mr. Stewart will re same his duty again in connection with the Post office department. Politics all getting protty hot in this county now. A full crop of candidates are in the field for the legislature, joint discussions are be ing held two or three times a week. Both tickets claim to have the up per hand. Miss Julia Thweat has returued to her home in Columbus after a pleas aDt visit of three weeks to friends and relatives in the city. Mrs. A. Redding left on the up passenger Saturday evening for Ox ford, where she wi 11 spend two or three weeks of her vacation with her mother and relations. We are glad to note that Prof. AlleD, who had the misfortune to fall and break his collar bone about a week ago, is improving and will be at home the latter part of this week. Jay. A Correction. Upper 9th, Dist , Meki wether Co. ■} July 10th, 1888. Editor Griffin Weekly News:— My attention having been called to a statement, made by your Hnralsou correspondent, “Cousin Dixie,” in your paper of July 6tb, 1888, in which I as an officer have been gross ly misrepresented, I beg leave to make some corrections to said state ment. Here is his statement: “The sequel to Tuesday's special to the News, was a compromise at Justice court, by the guilty parties paying cost and from five to ten dollars each according to the measure of their crime. By what authority or legal process a Justice court has a right to settle criminal offences is be yond my conception, but it was done and the guilty rioters turned loose and thrown back upon an outraged people. It is said that a blind tiger is run every 4th Saturday night at or - ■ . ......■ , „. near Piney Grove church for the efit of the bretheren. Dept. might visit that portion of the vineyard and chain the tiger.” Mr, Editor, Ifask|space in your valu able paper to make a statement of the facts, not hearsays, but facts, in the case refered to, and set myself and my official acts and my settlo ment right before your many readers many £of whom in this country are my warmest friends. On the 25th day of Jane, 1888, one Spencer Bishop (colored) and one of the deacons of Piney Grove church rnede affidavits for warrants for several parties (all colored) for distu-biug public and di vine worship at said ckurcb on Sun day, June 24th. The parties were all duly arrested and Tuesday, 26th. set for a preliminary examination. But before the hour for court arrived Bishop after talking with other par ties found he had commenced wrong; that instoad of getting warrants for disturbing their worship be should have gotten warrants for disorderly conduct on the public highway on Sunday, as none of the fuss was at or in hearing of the church bnt'was nearly a quarter of a mile off on the public road; and, he finding he should have commenced different, made a proposition to the parties that if they would pay ail cost that had accrued up to that time and pay something to help repair their church he would not prosecute them any further, hoping by this means to stop any further troubles and dis tnrbances- They made their own settlements; I had nothing to do with it whatever, made no compro mise and gave no advice to anybody. Now, what could I do—no prosecut or,no witnesses and no prisoners, for the prosecutor of his own accord had stopped it all. As to his blind tiger, as soon as the citizens heard that there was whisky drank at or near tha^hurch they began to investigate it and if they find ont the guilty ones they will be given over to the law. This is a law abiding community, and correspondents can not be too careful how they write things up from hearsay so as to make it appear oth er wise. T. W. T. Wilson, J. P. Upper flth Dist. Meriwether Co., Ga. WHACKING AT ARP. Cousin Dixie Also Names Substitutes for Coffee. Haralson, Ga., July 18. — Mrs. W. F. Stewart has been quite sick with influenza for the past week, but is better ; t this writing. Miss Anna Brakefield was the gueBt of her sister, Mrs. W. F, Stew art last week, also, wifses Gnssie Robertson and F.ffie Lowe, from Warnerville. Mrs. A. Brandenburg and Miss Gussie Thurmond, from the “Belt” and Uncle Jimmy Caraker, of Hoi lonville, were guests at the Magnolia last week. Miss Lollie Cline, of Oakland, daughter of Rev. John Cline, a Bap tist minister, is in charge of a flour ishing music school here. The pat rons are highly delighted witL her. Dr. W. A. Tigner,from Jonesboto, pastor of Mt. Pilgrim church here, spent sevetal days around our little city last wreR, Willie H nderson and sister, Miss Laura, and Henry Brandenburg and sister, Miss Lena, were guests of the Misses Reeves, of Eureka Mills, last first Sunday. Col. Lupton, a distinguished young attorney fiom Chattanooga, was the guest of Jesse Rawls family at Eareka Mills last week. I wonder if the Col. does not anticipate con samating a contract sood, Eh. Col. LJ If not providentially hindered, the Haralson Angling Club will take their fish at Flat Shoals the 18th and 191b insf. Take due notice, Hollonville club, and govern your Belves accordingly.

Jesse Rawls pulls down the beam at 210 lbs. I notice in an exchange that the coffee dealers tried a corner but fall through. The immence amount of rascality that is practiced upon the laboring classes in necessities is out rageous, as everything we buy to est is adulterated and the poorer the article the more it is adulterated. I will give the coffee drinkers a sub stitute. Dried sweet potatoes, parch ed and mixed with parched goobers hull and pea ground, together makes a rich, strong delicious substitute for Rio or Java. Try it. Okra is another splendid substitute with a splendid war record. If the sobsti tute does uot settle satisfactorily parch one or two egg shells with them and grind ail togetger. I am tempted to wriie an open let ter to old Uuclo BilJy Arp, One week ho is on the fence and the very next week he fires into “little editors’’ and then tumbles right off into the fence corner. Now, old wisher washer, butter millk and cider poli tician, just you uncross that rheu matic log and come down off of that Atlanta Constitution patent fence and quit waving that old dirty politi cal shirt of yours, while brethren Fair ■•child and Fore-acre waves the bloody shirt of the vic-tos-rious stay at homo ns, boom proofers, and ninety days north of the Hudson river men. You wave a dirty shirt of a defunct political defiance, that New Scmthers pay no attention to. 1 Look at Gettysburg, the other day, what the old soldiers of both armies are doing. When we of the south threw down our aims twenty three years ago, the boys in blue threw down theirs then and thero and came over to where our surrendered arms were stacked and actually hug ged ns. They were as glad as we that war, bloodshed and death had ceased, and then and thero a union was commenced between the boys ■ in blue and grey, that all the Fair | ‘childs and Foreakers and Bill Arps j of a century to' come, can’t dis unite, so stop your wrangling about the next Vico President (Thurman) of the United States, the best gov eri ment the world ever saw and coi.i right into the Democratic lines or <,0 into tue Republican lines.

Pike's Efficient Sheriff— An Interest¬ ing Dramatis Company. Zebclon, Ga., July 18.—I beard Iho other day of some of the exploits of the high sheriff of Pike, Wm Bow are. With the sagacity of a first class detective, he got in to a regular organized band of thieves last week and arrested two of them, who were committed to j&il with sufficient proof to conviot of burglary in the night time. He also reoovered a lot of stolen goods and implicatad others in other crimes. One el Iho two caught was a parly in the theft of J. D. Boyd’s bale of cotton front the gin house of Dr. J. D. Yarbrough last fall -His nam n Professor Walker, alias Jack, mi • Jeo Web ster. This is the b^ima that Ur. Howard has caught up with within a short time, and I most say in the in terest of Pike county that it baa a sheriff second to none in Georgia. Zebulon has s folly orgaaisad Dramatic and Musical Club, with the following officers; President—Judge Harry Wells. Vico President —R» B. Pope. Secretary— Miss Lizzie Mitchell* Treasurer— G. G. Reid. Censor— Miss LounieFord. Ch’n Musical Com—Miss Mamie Howell, The following additional members com po the club: Mrs. J, G. Pope, Misses Laura Ford, Myrtie Ford, Leila Malaier, Pearl Pope, Katie Pope, Leta Pope, Jennie Blaslagame, Sallie Blasingame, Jennie Mitchell, and Fannie Singleton, and Messrs. J. C. Blasingame, Cliff Ford and W A. Mitchell. I was delighted to he present at the organization of the club last Saturday, at Uu court b e as e. Meetings will be held aa Wedaes day and Saturday nights. Ah of the club are of the best families of the place. The young Isdme are par excellence in beauty ami culture, and the young men equally excel lent, but not quite so beautiful. All in all it is the finest club that I have ever met in my tiavels, and enables Zebulon to rival Atlanta or Griffin in attractions and amusement*. A. H. B.
