Griffin, Ga .
Griffin is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬
gressive town in Georgia. This is no hjper-
bolieal description, aa the record of the last
five years will show.
During that time it has built and pot into
most successful operation a $100,000 cotton,
actory and is now building another with
nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up a
a ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer f ac-
ory, an immense ice and bottling works, a
sash and blind factory, a broom factory
opened up the finest granite quarry in the
L uited State 0 , and has many other enter¬
prises in ontemplatiou. It has secured
another allroad ninety miles long, and While
ocatea on the greatest system in the South,
the Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennsssee, Virginia
an J Georgia. Ithasjust secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
tin W< st, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to its completion. With
its live white and three colored
e urches, it is now building a $10,000 new
Presbyterian church. It has Increased its
opulatiou by nearly one-fifth. It'has at-
n:aroundits borders fruitgrowers from
early every State in the Union, until it is
now surrounded on nearly every side by or-
hards an 1 vineyards. It is the home of the
rape an 1 its wine making capacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully
naugurated a system of public sohools, with
teven years curriculum, second to none.
T his is part of the record of a half decade
uiut simply shows the progress of an already
uiirable city, with the natural advantages
having the finest climate, summer and
i. ter, in the world.
Griffin is the county seat of Spalding
aunty, situated in west Middle Georgia, with
healthy, fertile and ri ding oountry, 1150
cot above sea level. By the census of 1890, it
will have at a low estimate between 6.000 and
i (K) 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 settlors, who will not be any less wel-
o me if they tiring money to help bnild 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 toolimiteJ for our
business, pleasure and health seeking guests.
If you see anybody that wants a good loca¬
tion for a hotel in the South, just mention
Griffin.

QUEER THI NGS ABO UT NOSES.
The Nose at ClvIIIzwtloo All Right with
Some Interest Inc Exceptions.
The following paragraph has been going
the rounds of the press;
‘M. Le Bee, the French savant, says
iliat ‘the nose is gradually losing its
power to discharge its traditional func¬
tion in the case of the civilized peoples;
when the senso of smell vanishes alto¬
gether, as will infallibly be the case one
day, the organ itself will follow its ex¬
ample sooner or later, as nature never
conserves useless organs, and the nose
must go.’ The olfactory sense is keener
in the savage than in the civilized man.”
A New York specialist on the nose, to
whom this was shown, said:
“Well, Frenchmen seem to delight in
making such extravagant statements.
There are men and women of tpday who
have the most powerful senso of smelL
The trouble is that i^is not always edu¬
cated like that of the savage. Savages
have good eyes, and good ears, and good
noses, and because they educate their
eyes and their ears and their noses they
:an hear, see and smell better than a man
who does not educate those senses. As
far a9 the olfactory sense dying out is
concerned, that is not true, I think the
reason this French savant thought so is
because so many people nowadays have
colds and catarrh, due to the civ¬
ilization that we are struggling
under. Imperfectly heated rooms,
improper ventilation, a thousand
and one conditions that are not all
sanitary, produce colds and catarrh; and
when a man has catarrh his olfactory
sense, of course, is interfered with. A
healthy civilized man who has no catarrh
can smell just as well as a savage can
smell, and can seo just as well as a
savage. A modern Anglo-Saxon, born
and brought up in civilization, if taken
out into the woods and subjected to the
same education in woodcraft that a
savage has, will leave the savage far be¬
hind in his sense of smell and the other
senses. You know it used to be said
that an Indian could run all day and
run all night, and endure much more
than a white man; but in these six-day-
go-as-you-please races an Indian has no
show whatever.
“All the senses are very intimately
connected with each other. That there
is a close relation between the eye and
the nose is 6hown when a person has
what is popularly called a cold in the
head. The eyes will water and feel
weak. Snuff pepper or irritants of any
kind up the nose and it makes the eyes
water. Very often there are polipii, or
little growths in the nose that Irritate
unconsciously oftentimes. A great many
specialists have found that farsighted¬
ness is affected by the nose, and that the
removal of obstructions in the nose will
Improve the eyes, so that patients will
not have to wear glasses. And near¬
sighted patients, their it is nearsightedness claimed, have also by
been cured of •
treating the nose. Where a person’s
eyesight is affected by growths in the
nose, temporary relief has been obtained
by treating the parts with cocoaine.
What is thus temporarily accomplished
by the use of cocoaine, it is declared, can
be permanently accomplished by remov¬
ing the obstructions.
“Persons having such obstructions also
have nose colds which come from a cu¬
rious irritable susceptibility of the nose,
caused by the pollen of different plants.
Among the various ill effects which are
produced by growths in the chronic nose are
noises in the ear, deafness, ca¬
tarrh of the throat, failure of the voice,
asthma, heart troubles, stomach troubles,
even troubles with the skin. To illus¬
trate: Many opera singers, when their
voices fail, will consult a nose specialist,
who will restore their voices frequently
by some simple nasal treatment. Not only
asthma" has been cured by such treatment,
but many other chest troubles, chronic
bronchitis notably. So skin diseases of the
most obstinate forms, acme especially,- the
where red pimples come out all over
face, have been cured by nasal treatment.
It seems hard to believe, but one man
who had been troubled for years by what
was supposed to be rheumatism in his
knee was entirely cured by the removal
of certain growths in the nose. ”— New

An English Hydrocarbon Engine.
A pleasing launch—known as of the
“Zephyr type”—is now built in England, obtained
the motive power of which is
from a highly volatile hydrocarbon, one of
of the early products in the distillation
petroleum, selling in tbi3 country for
about ten cents a gallon. Within five
minutes after lightning up the launch is
ready to start at full speed, and, the
action being automatio, the eight boat miles can run
at a speed several of from hours seven without to at¬ an
hour for any
tention whatever being required, except¬
ing only occasionally lubricating the bear¬
ings. The entire central portion of the
boat is available for passenger accommo¬
dation, giving double accommodation as
compared with steam. There is a very
large saving in weight of machinery
owing to the very small size of tlie vapor
generator, and this reduction in weight
renders lighter scantling of bull admissi¬
ble, so that the launch weighs only a
ton, machinery included. The foil sup¬
ply requires no attention whatever, be¬
ing perfectly self acting, all hand firing
being abolished, and owing to absence
of coal the whole arrangement is ex¬
tremely cleanly. Full speed is main¬
tained with a consumption of one and a
quarter gallons of the hydrocarbon per
hour.—New Orleans Times-Democrat.

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 it has been unswerv
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 tranquility and
prosperity.
For people who like that sort of Democracy
the Stab is the paper to read.
The Stab stands squarely ou 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. Tee 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, taxationthe Stab’s
name for it is robbery.
Through and through the Star is a great
newspaper. Its tone is ) urc aud 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 F.dglish, 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
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 the w )rld over, with
special features which make it the most
complete family new spaper 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 daring the cam
paigD, and will print the freshest and most
reliable political news.

Mac#n Ness.
We herewith publish particulars
of the sad drowning, at Niagara
Falls, on Thursday afternoon, of Mrs.
P. ,1. Tully, neo Miss Lily Stephan,
daughter of our well known fellow
citizen, Mr. William Stephan. We
gather our information from special
dispatches, under date of July 19,
from Niagara Falls, to different
Northern papers:
“.Mrs. P. S. Tully, a young and
handsome married woman, lost her
lifa this afternoon by going over the
American Falls. Mrs. Tully was
twenty-two years old, and came here
with her husband from Macon, Ga., a
few months ago, and had been mar¬
ried three years. She had the repu¬
tation of being the handsomest bru¬
nette at Niagara.
“She accepted an invitation to go
out sailing with Will If. Barber,
whose mother keeps tbe Grand Trunk
ticket office in the International Ho¬
tel. At 2 o’clock this sfternoon they
went out driving, and at Fort Day,
just above the reservation grounds,
above the falls on the American bank,
they left the carriage and hired a
sail brat, saying they would probably
not return until after dusk. Neither
knew anything about sailing, but
they thought the stiff northerly
breeze would take them up the river
ami thqf current would bring them
back. All went well until 4 o’clock,
when they got out of their course on
the Canadian side of Grand Island,
and were obliged to tack. The wind
was puffy, and, not understanding the
helm, they jibed the craft and it half
filled with water. Mis. Tully ran to
the opposite side, screaming to Bar¬
ber to save her. He let go the line
to assist her, and as he did so a squall
struck the craft and knocked it over.
The young woman got her dress
caught in the tackle, but after a
struggle, during which they were
both neailv drowned,-Barber man¬
aged to get a good hold on the keel
and held her in his arms.
“Thus they stayed fer two hours,
hoping against hope, and all the
while drifting rapidly down the liver,
or circling in the eddies. At last
Mrs- Tully became insensible and
Barber felt his strength fast giving
T After a lime he gave up hope
id decided that they must both
drown or g > o\n the falls. This is
the last he remembers. The woman
must have slipped from his arms.
The tug Jewett, of Buflalo, picked
Barber up at 0 o’clock and found
his companion's hat tied about hi*
neck. The yawl took bitn in an in¬
sensible condition to the residence of
Mr. Howard, and after a long effort
he was resuscitated and told the
story as related.
“At 6 o’clock, some Mexican tour¬
ists, stopping at lhe Prospect House,
saw the body of a woman shoot un¬
der the Goat Island bridge and go
over the American Fails. Her hus
band left the bridge a few minutes
before this, having been there with
his partner watching for it.
“When seen this evening the nus
band of the dead woman was nearly
wild with grief. He bad only just
arrived home for supper when he
heard the dreadful news from bis
brother, who had seen Howard. I he
body of the young woman will be
ooked for in the whirlpool and at
Lewiston tomorrow, though it is not
likely that a body going over the
American Falls will be recovered.
