Griffin is tlie liveliest, pluckiest, most pro
gressive town in Georgia. This is no hyper¬
bolical description, as the record of the last
live years will show. *.
During that time It lias built and put into
most successful operation a $100,000 cotton
nearly nctory twice and ta the ijaw capital, building it has another with
pnt up a
a ge iren and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac-
ory, an immense ice and bottling works, a
sash and blind factory, a broom faotory
opened op the finest granite quarry in the
United State*, and has many other enter¬
prises in ontemplation. It has secured
another. ailroad ninety miles long, and while
ocatea on the greatest system in the South,
the Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennessee, Virginia
uud Georgia, It has just secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
tbs W< st, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to its completion. With
its live white Riding rand three oolored
churches, it is now a $10,000 now
Presbyterian oharefi. 'It has increased its
population by nearly one-fifth. It has at-
t m c >d around its borders fruit growers from
early every State iu the Union, until it is
now surro- uded on nearly every side by or-
hurds ai. a vineyards. It is the home of the
rape ah x its wine making capacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully
nuiiguruted a system of public sohools, with
Mjven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part pf the reoord of a half decade
and simply shows the progress of an already
durable city, with the natural advantages
1 laving the finest climate, summer and
nter, in the world.
Griffin is the county seat of Spalding
ounty, situated in west Middle Georgia, with
healthy, fertile and rolling country, 1150
ect above sea level. By the census of 1890, it
will have at a low estimate between 6,000 and
UK) people, and they are all of the right
oi t—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
weleome strangers and anxious to secure de-
irable settlers, who will not be any less wel-
o me 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 gnests.
If you see anybody that wants a good loca¬
tion for a hotel in the South, just mention
Griffin.

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 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 Republican wastefulness
and corruption and despotism to the South.
For these four years past ithasbeenunswerv
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 affairs,
and of continued national franqnilify and
prosperity.
For people who like that sort of Democracy
tlie 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 economic ally
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 wa*te
fulness and dishonesty, it regards as %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 tlie Star is a great
newspaper. Its tone is i ure and wholesome,
its news serviee unexceptionable. Each iesue
presents an epitome of what is best worth
knowing of the world’s history of yesterday.
Its stories are told in good, quick, pictur-
eqae Edglish, and miirlity interesting read¬
ing they are.
Tns Sunday Star is as good as tlie best
class magazine, and prints about the same
amouut of matter. Besides the day’s news
it is rich in spesial descriptive articles, sto
ries, snstches of current literature, reviews,
art criticism, etc. Burdette’s inimatible hu¬
mor sparkles in its columns; Will Carieton’s
delightful letters are of its choice offerings.
Many of the best known men and women in
literatnre and art are represented in its col
nmns.
The Weekly Star is a large paper giving
the cream of the news the w >rld over, with
special features which make it the most
complete family newspaper published. The
farmer, the mechanic, tlie 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 most
reliable political news.

HAIR GROOMER.
How One Woman Earns a Livelihood.
Care of the flair—Trimming.
The names of the Occupations which
refined women in reduced circumstances
are seeking nowadays are legion. Tlie
field of type writing, stenography and
telegraphy has long been crowded by
women who have to earn their own liv¬
ing and the living of families, and who
cannot do manual labor. Places as pri¬
vate secretaries, all sorts of clerkships in
shops and business offices, “traveling
agencies,” editorships, employments by
the score have been added to that which
twenty-five years ago was almost tho
only occupation in which a refined
woman thrown upon her own resources'
could engage—that of teaching children.
There are women now who even write
for the papers, and have attained famo
as reporters, tramping about town at all
hours and in all sorts of weather. A re-
poo ter was introduced by a friend, tlie
other day, to a lady who was earning a
very comfortable livelihood as a liair
groomer.
“I’m not a hairdresser,” she said, “I’m
a hair groomer. I don’t do up hair at
all. I only comb the hair and give it
that general attention which every
woman’s hair demands two or three
times a week. There are lots of women
in the city who are in this business and
who would scorn to call themselves pro¬
fessional hairdressers.”
She was an elderly lady, tall and slen¬
der, and dressed neatly and with excel¬
lent taste in black. Her manners were
gentle and refined. Her face had that
dark, quiet look seen on the faces of In¬
valids or of women who had a good deal
of suffering. She was living in a re¬
spectable boarding house.
“I was cornered and I had to do it,”
she said. “I had to earn my living sud¬
denly, and the only way I could think of
to do so at my age was to care for
women’s hair. My mother was for years
an invalid. She had beautiful hair, and
it used to soothe and quiet her to have
me comb her hair and strobe it softly.
In this way I learned to care for tho hair,
especially that of nervous women. There
a great many women, of course, of
the so called upper classes who can’t
to keep maids and yet who want
their hair cared for regularly. They
don’t like to have professional hair¬
dressers around them, either. It is to
women I look for my patronage.
“What do I do to the hair? Well,
first I rub it dry with a soft and then
with a hard brush. I don’t put a lot of
water and ‘‘cleaning stuff’ upon the hair
at first as some do, but after I have the
dandruff all out, I wet the hair with a
simple solution which I know to bo effec¬
tive and not deleterious; then I rub and
brush the hair dry again. Next comes
the trimming. I pull out tho gray hairs
one by one, taking care to pull them so
that the scalp is not lacerated, and the
hair cells themselves destroyed. There
is a great art in pulling out hairs. You
must pull them in the direction in which
they lie in the scalp just as you would a
sliver of wood from your hand, in tho
direction in which it entered. Men or
women can’t pull out their gray hairs
themselves, for it is utterly impossible
for them to see that they are pulling the
hairs out on the proper slant. Of course,
you know that people are very their touchy heads. on
the subject of gray hairs in
It makes a woman have the blues for a
week when her first gray hairs come.
Now, when gray hairs are tho result of
age I never meddle with them; the only
thing to do is to let them come. But
they are often tho result of sickness
or some other little trouble, and it is
then often possible to be prevent their com¬
ing. Baldness is to doctored in just
the same way. I can never cure, though,
and nobody can cure the baldness of peo¬
ple, like accountants and others, accus¬
tomed to work all day with the glare and
heat of gaslights or electrio lights beating
down upon their heads. In their cases
hair cells have been literally burnt
out.
“Well, individual finally, I trim the hair. I cut
each hair separately so as to
make it even with the others. When
the hair is gathered up in the hand and
cut square across in a lump, as it were,
with the scissors, the straggling hairs are
not reached. The result is only to make
the hair shorter and quite as uneven as
before. Then I part tlie hair simply and
do it up plainly. As I told you, it
women want their hair done up in any
the fancy styles they mustn’t come
to me.
“How much does it pay me? Well, I
think I ought to get $1, at
each time I visit a lady’s house. If
lady lives a great way up town and it
me all the afternoon or morning to
up and see her, I want more money, of
And, on the contrary, when two
three patrons live near each other,
I can moderate the price a little to
one. It is a humble way of getting
living, I know, but it is respectable,
I shall stick to it.”—New York Sun.

THE BITTER FRUIT OF BELIEVING
A NEWSPAPER.
A Brilliant Expose of the Latest Scheme
of Henry Grady and Hie
Constitution.
I never read the Atlanta Constitu
tiou ! It is one of the fixed ruler
and principles of my life, that I never
violate (as I do other good resolu
tions), except when I am looking for
the notice of some excursion, and
then I generally regret it bitterly,
iu eack-oloth and ashes. But un¬
fortunately, I have friends who al¬
ways read this noted paper, and in
the kindness of their hearts, they
cannot endure to see mo thus ouIn
side the pal of civilization. They
consider my benighted condition
worthy of the deepest pity, and to
alleviate my misery, they frequently
narrate to me glowing d .-scriptions
of the wouders they have seen in
this marvellous paper.
One evening as I sat quietly read
ing an interesting book, one of my
friends came in, and enthusiastically
began to tell me all the glorious
things the Constitution had to say
about the Piedmont Chautauqua,
Deep down in my heart, I had al¬
ready begun to cherish a vague feel
ing of interest in this “grand educa
tional enterprise,” and when the
next morning I received a copy ol
the paper, I immediately read all
that Mr. Grady had to say on this
subject. I have a deep-rooted ad
miration for Mr. Grady. Almost
every one is compelled to indulge in
hero worship of read’ some his’magniifi description,
and ever since I
cent address in New York, I have
had a perfect adoration for this
southern knight, the champion of the
Lost Cause, fie had expressed the
feelings of my own heart in such ex
quisito language, that his words
echoed down into the depth of my
soul. I reverenced him as a devout
catholic does his patron saint. When
I learned that Mr. Grady was so
enthused on the subject oi Chautau
qua,I immediately determined to go
and see with my own eyes this mar
vel of the South.
Without loss of a moment, in
greatest hastp, I made all my ar¬
rangements, and after many accidents
and much fatigue fiually found my
sell on board the train, breathless in
deed, but still happy, for 1 was
bound for the glorious Chautauqua !
All the way to Atlanta I indulged
myself in visions of what 1 was soon
to see, and I he moments spent at way
side stations filled me with itnpa
tience. When I found that I had to
wait an hour and a half before the
train left, 1 was much distressed, and
the attractions oi the Gate City fail¬
ed lo receive the attention that I us¬
ually bestow upon them. When
once more I boarded the car and
found myself rapidly nearing my
destination, I was delighted. In
fancy I pictured all that I was soon
to learn about Ait, Elocution, and all
the mysteries of Pyschology, and
with a surprised atart heard the an
nouncemet t that we had reached
Balt Springs. My friends endeavor
ed to persuade me to waite until
late in the afternoon to go to the
ground,—tried to entice roe with de
scriptions of the cool beauty of the
spring, the rocks and ferns, but noth
ing could deter me from continue
ing my way until I was safe inside
the gates. At first I was dazed,
bewildered with what I saw before
me. Somsaid, “Come up to tbe
Rose Mound,” and I looked eagerly
around in search of the mass cf south
ern rcses, whose bright colors clothed
tbe earth with beauty. At first I
felt a slight chill of dissapointment,
s vague, indefinable feeling that it
was —the not exactly what I bad small; expected
roses were alt so bnt

reason told me that I ought not lo
have looked for full grown trees.
Instantly I began to remark upon the
beauty of the winding walks that
lead to the summit, and the view of
the surrounding country that you
could obtain from that pleasant
point. The sun’s rays were pouring
down upon the poor little roses, and
they droopod their heads in weari
ness, I sympathized with them to
such an extent that I carefully re
frained from going nearer, least I
be foiced to join in their burning
misery. I decided to walk down to
the Tabernacle, and on the way I
passed by a large building in the
process oi erection, in front of which
were seated q dozen members of the
Mexican band, Io spite of the glare
and the heat they seemed quite bap
py, and I gazed upon them with ad¬
miring curiosity.
Upon reaching the Tabernacle,
great was my surprise to find this
magnificent structure in a very in
cipient condition. Workmen of all
kinds and descriptions were busily
employed in every portion of the
building, and the sound of hammer
and saw filled the air. Strange sul
phurons fumes of a terrible nature,
floated through the atmosphere, fill
ing the wind with fearful ideas of
buckets of ^ burning low « tar '"K* were 0 "* constant
ly being carried by pulleys up to
the roof for what purpose I could not
imagine, but my guilty conscience
seemed to tell me, that tbe smell
thereby, was a punishment overtak
ing me for my past misdeeds. The
shadow and coolness of the Taberna
cle were sweet after tbe blistering
heat outside, but the noise of man?
hammers, together with the dreadful
fumes that seemed to eminate from
Hades, made life there almost a tor
ture.
Suddenly, with a very grateful
heart, I remembered the lake! I re
minded my long-suffering friends,
who were now looking weak and
weary, of the cool beanty of the wind
ing walks through the woodland, on
the margin the water! Once more
we issued forth into (he sunlight,
and gasping for air, hurried down
tbe path that lead to tbe lake. We
soon found it was a difficult matter
to walk in safety, for to the rear of
the Tabernacle the ground was cover
ed with piles of loose lumber, that
seemed left there as snares for tbenn
wary. * Stumbling down tbe hillside
we reached a little rustic bridge, that
was charmingly quaint and pretty,
Tb s was supposed to lead to tbe Is
lar. 1, hot it takes a great deal of
stn ’y, and a thorough knowledge of
the Constitution to discover tbe fact.
Soiue day, there may be an island,
so ure day, it may be surrounded by
cool murmuring Waves—but not
now! Now ’tis a pretty bit of ground
with a few trees and benches upon,
a sheet of shallow water in front,
and all around a border of mnddy
land, that tbe most vivid imagination
could not convert into water. At
the rate in which the water is now
being pumped in, it will be sometime
before ordinary mortals who don't
read the papers, will properiy nndar
stand tbe beanty of tbe lake. Off 1 1
