During that time it has built and put into most successful operation a $100,000 cotton actory and is now building another with nearly twice the capital. It has pntup a a ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac- ory, an immense ice and bottling weeks, a iush and blind factory, a broom factory opened up the finest granite quarry la the Uuited States, and has many other enter¬ prises in .ontemplatioo. It has secured another. atlroad niaety miles long, end while ooatca on the ha's greatest system in the touth, the Central, secured connection with its important rival, the East Tennsssee, Virginia sad Georgia. It has just secured direct inde¬ pendent connection and with Chattanooga sad the W«st, has the President of a fourth railroad redding her# aad working to ltd completion. With its five while and three colored churches, it is now building a $10,000 new Presbyterian church. It has laoreaaed its opulstfonby nearly one-fifth. It has st- t ra r : e 1 around its borders frolt growers from early every State in the Union, until it is now surrounded on neariyevery side by or- herds and vineyards. It is the home of the rape and Its Wine making capacity has* doubled every year. It has suceacsfully naugurated a system of public schools, with seven years curriculum, second to none. This is part of the record of a half decade and simply shows the progress of an alr e ady mirable city, with the natural advantage# having the finest climate, summer iromer and uter, in the world. Griffin is the county seat of Spalding ounty, situated in west Middle Georgia, with healthy, fertile and rolling country, 1160 set above sea level. By the censos of 1890, it will have at a low estimate between $,000 and uoo people, and they are all of the right ort— wide-awake, up to the times, ready to weleomc strangers and anxious to secure de- irable settlers, who will not be any less wel- ome if they bring money to help build up the town. There is about only one thing we need badly jnst now, and that is a big hotel. We have several small ones, but their aooom- inodations are entirely too limited for our business, pleasure and health seeking guests.

Tns auk Stab sta is the only New York newspaper t Twwaorsing "-----*- fullest confidence Na¬ r of the tion^ Administration aad the United Dem¬ ocracy el New York, the political battle j ground of the Republic. Jeffersonian Democracy, pure end 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 pest it has been nnswerv big hi its fidelity the administration of Grov¬ er Cleveland. It is for him now—for Cleve¬ land and Thurman—for four years more of Demoeratic honesty in onr national aflairs, and of contin ed national tranquility 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 exoesa 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 np 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 name for it is robbery. Through and through the Star is a great newspaper. Its tone is l ore 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, pietur- eque 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 the day’s news it is rich in spesial descriptive articles, sto ties, snatches of current literature, reviews, art criticism, etc. Burdette’S inimatlble 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 Urge paper giving the eream of the news the w >rld 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 ^his dollar invested in Thb 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.

A* InridcBt fat Mm life mt iMMtor Cor- Um—A Teach ot WmmmaMy. The late Edward Corflss, of Providence, the inventor and manufacturer of the great Corliss engine, was a man who valued his business largely for the op¬ portunities which it brought him of doing thoroughly nod unpretentiously humane acts. Very many stories are told at Providence of his generosity to people in his employ, and especially of a way he had of coming to some employe or workman who looked ill or overworked, or who had complained of having a hard time, and saying to him, ‘‘Now, look here; you are not looking well. You had better go off somewhere for a rest of a few weeks, and I will take care of your family while you are gone.” And the man was started off on a vacation of months, if months were needed, without any feed* apprehension of his family. on his mind as to the But other employers have done the same thing, no doubt, and the Listener would not have had occasion to note the matter if it had not been for the true story of another generous deed of Mr. Corliss’, lately told him from a most authentic source, which is so exceptional, and so quite idyllic, that it merits special relation. More than that—it merits such a setting of incident as the story telling genius give it; of but a Hawthorne the or a Hale, would as Listener can give it no such setting, and as, moreover, he has no right to do more than tell the tale just as it wfis told to him, he will narrate it in its simplest form: Mr. Corliss, not very long before his death, had occasion to build an addition tojhis manufactory—a big “L,” for ad¬ ditional machinery. To prepare the foundation for this L it was necessary to remove a ledge of rock by blasting. The men to uo the work on the addition had been employed an • t on the pay roll; tha materials had bet!! purchased and brought to the building, an the work of blasting had begun. The ne; morning Mr. Corliss passed by the ph. t where work was proceeding, when the f o 'man in charge, knowing his interest in . v tty things, called him. ‘‘See here, Mr. Corliss,” said he; “here is*a bird’s nest that we’ve found, and that’s got to go.” He showed the manufacturer a robin Bitting upon a nest that had been built, fast and snug, in a crevice of the rock, among some bushes that grew there. The bird flew off her nest as the men came near, and - showed five blue eggs, that looked as if they had just been la. 1. “Can we move that nest somewhere else?” asked Corliss. “I’m afraid not, sir. We’d tear it to pieces getting it out, and it isn’t cfc nil go’ likely that you could get the bird to to sitting again anywhere else. We’ve got to go on, so we may as well rip it out and throw the eggs away.” “No,” said Corliss. “We won’t dis¬ turb her. Let her bring out her brood right there.” “But we’ll have to stop the work on tin bu’’d'ng‘” “Let us stop it then.” And so orders were given that opera¬ tions on the addition should be suspended. They were suspended; and the hands stood still, drawing their pay for doing nothing, or next to nothing, while the robin sat on her neat with her air of great consequence and zealous attention to business, and had her food brought her by her mate, and at last hatched her brood. And then there were three weeks more to go by, at the least, before the young ones could fly. Corliss visited the nest frequently, not with any uneasiness or impatience to have thdrobin and the young ones out of the way, but with a genuine interest in their growth. The old birds had all the time they wanted, and when at last they had sternly helped the the clumsy, reluctant youngsters over edge of the nest, and they snowed them¬ selves to be able to get about on their own hook, orders were given to resume the building operations; and the dull boom of the gunpowder, tearing the rocks apart, was hoard where the birds hsgl peeped. It was an idle freak, a practical man would say, of a man who may have had more money than he knew what to do with. Perhaps it was a freak, but it was one of the sort of freaks that make the world better.—Boston Transcript “Lis¬ tener. ’ ’ __ The Potency of Facts. A fact is always a fact, whatever may be the consequences. The question is, whether it is true; the student should recognize no other. Many of the facts encountered in our studies are obscure and hard to explain, but that does not prevent their being facts; or, at least, the chief question should be to learn whether they are facts. Besides, contradictory facts are the ferment of science. I once asked a distinguished naan of science how a certain discovery he had made was getting on. “What “H is .net getting on,” it?” he replied. jo. the flatter With Tanxiously ai^ed. except-the»ewhich “Why,” he said, fa¬ “I find no tacts are . vorable to it; and,” be adfted, “it takes contradictory facts te teach us.” : This is true. The theory will either explain the posed to it acid which have entered into It; or it will be replaced by a vaster and more comprehensive theory. In both cased there is a gain tor science, which would not have been obtained if we had hes itat ed, on account of vain scruples, to seek out and verify the facts in ques¬ tion.—Paul Janet in Popular Science Monthly.

Hew the StoHtUoi ef a Great Conntry WHI toObfaincd—Features ef the BUI. Washington, Jaly 19.—|Speoial] —It ie not probable that tbe Senate will ohaege tbe bill for the taking of tllfe next census which Mr. Cox, Chairman of tbe Census Committee, hfts just got through the Bouse. If it does change it at a 11,the alterations will be so very slight as to be im¬ material. The census of 1800 will not be on a$ great a scalp as was the oensne of 1880. The result of tbe latter was a set of twenty two vol amet, the last of which has just been issued from tbe Government Print ing-office. The next census will re eu!t in only six volumes. There will be no (reatiAes on forest trees, petro¬ leum, coke, water power, the social statistics of cities, wages paid, and tbe price of commodities oonsumed by wage workers, the socialelogical changes, lighting and healing, min ing, tecbnelogy, Alaska generally, and ship building. There are two reasons why these subjects will be omitted.One is that such subjects as water power, the sooialology oi cities and forestry were completely covered in 1880, and the publics tions about them have a permanent value, and are as good now as when first got together. Other subjects will be omitted because it is not de sirableto have such a great mass of matter only of temporary importance as was ground out by the last cen¬ sus, and because they are under Government bureaus specially organ ized to handle tnem. Tha main ob¬ ject of the census, the enumeration of the population of tbe country, has been kept in view by Mr. Cox. He made an estimate some time ago, taking tbe census of 1870 and that of 1880 for bis ground work, that the census of 1890 will show tbe population to be 64,476,5000. Shortly after he had fignred this out he received a letter from Mr. Edward Atkinson, tbe well known writer on political economy,in which Mr. Atkin son said that be bad made a similar estimate to that of Mr, Cox. His con clnsion is that the next census would show the population to be 64,500, 000. The nearness of the estimates of these two experienced men is cer tainly striking, and adds to their value. Tbe cost of the last censos was $6,080*000, aboat nine and one half cents per capita. The cost per capita of the next census will be more than nine and one half cents, because the supervisor and enumer ators and others engaged in the work of the census will be better paid than they were in 1880. It is thought that the cost of the 1880 census will be in the neighborhood of fifteen cents per capita. In mak ing up his admirable bill Mr. Cox followed the plan of enumeration drawn up by tbe late President Gar¬ field for the centos of 1870. Th : s plan was enlarged in several particu Ian, as experience dictated. One festote vf. tbe next censos, which many people desired to see in- it, will be absent. . It w Ike question of aortal fodebtedaeis, mortgages, etc. There Mas been a gnat deal said on tbat subjeet in the debates in grass during the present session, and tbe proposition that it be ed upon by the next census has many friends. It was finally abandoned beoause it w$s thought to be impos sible to secure correct Information on the subject, for people would be naturally adverse to givinn informa tion about their financial e m harass • ments. Tbe completion of the cen tus will be followed by a new Con ■ - ‘ • ■ JUST RECEIVED. C- W. Clark A Son. gressional apportionment.

Twto years ago tbe Manufacturera' Record printed statistics showing tbst northern visitors left annually in Florida about $7,000,000, not counting the money invested there. It now says that daring tbe past winter 30,000 northern visitors were entertained by tbe St. Augnstine hotels, and that according to s low estimate, they left $2,000,000 in that town. Tbe bnikUng of tbe Ponce de Leon, says tbe Record, was looked upon as s folly of s man so wealthy that be did not know what disposition to make of bis money; bat, contrary to expectation, the profits of the first season; it is said, were considerable, And next winter it is expected they will be mooh larger. Tbe Winter travel to this section was greater last season than it ever has been, bnt next winter it ought to be still greeter, and it will be if the proper inducements are held out. It is becoming as muob a custom among Northern people to viait the South daring tbe winter as it is for them to ge to the mountains and eaaside jn the mniniea The sever¬ ity of ■ tba winters there chases tbe people to a milder climate.
