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.

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 York Sun._ 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 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.

She floes Sailing With. a Young Man- Thelr Yacht Is Upset and Brawn Iuto the Rapids. 9 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. The many remarkable cures Hood * pariUo accomplishes are sufficient that it doc* possess peculiar curative pow era. ( Fresxi j- :i ■ CANTALOUPES. EVERY MORNING. C* W. Clark & Son.
