This is no hyper¬ description, aa the record of the last (re years will show. During that time it has built and pnt into B1 o#t successful operation a 1X00,000 cotton aoiory and is now building another with nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up a a ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac- ory> an immense ice and bottling Works, a jtwh and blind factory, a broom factory opened up the finest granite quarry in the ' and has United State*, many other enter¬ prises i» ontemplation. It has secured soother uilroad ninety miles long, and while oeatca on the greatest system in the South, the Central, ha9 secured connection with its important rival, theEast Tennssaee, Virginia auJ Georgia, It has just secured direct inde¬ pendent connection with Chattanooga and tb« IV< st, and has the President of a fourth railroad residing here and working to its completion. With lb five white and. three colored o’i arches, it tsnaw building a 110,000 new pre?byterian ohuroh. It has increased its opulation by nearly one-fifth. It has at¬ tacharound its border* fruit growers from early every State in the Union, until it is BO w turron aded on nearly every side by or- kards an . vineyards. It is the home of the rape an i its wine making capacity has doubled every year. It has successfully naugurated a system of publio sohools, with seven years curriculum, second to none. Thin is part of the record of a half decade and simply shows the progress of an already mirable city, with the natural advantages having the finest climate, summer 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 census of 1890, it will have at a low estimate between 6.000 and WO people, and they are ull of the right, urt—wide-awake, up to the tiinee, ready to weleome strangers and anxious to secure de- setUsiB, who will not be any less wel- ome if they bring money to help buildup 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.

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 Stab. Single hand¬ ed among the metropolitan press, it has stood by the mon 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 our 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 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 nuallyjrom the people and locking them up in vaults to serve no purpose bnt 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 ure 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, pictur- 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 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 Jus dollar invested in The Weekly Star 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-e“of V«RS TOtrv u ' > it IN NEW No Children Need Apply. A well known newspaper man, who l»ad been temporarily residing in Phila¬ delphia, changed his base of action to this city. His family consisted of his wife and five children, all of the latter liavi-g passed tho mewling NSw age. Find¬ ing himself well settled in York he looked about him for a nest for his mate ami young. He was told of a handsome, well appointed flat in a location conve¬ niently near to the prominent hotels and which a bachelor friend of his had just vacated. He inspected it and was de¬ lighted. The janitor was all smiles and smirks. The price was reasonable. Tho delighted journalist brought forth his pocket book and, while mentioning some well known persons as sponsors for his good name, proffered a month’s rent in advance. The still beaming janitor, with¬ out extending a hand, inquired: “Pardon me, sir, but are you married?” indignant “Why, certainly,” was the somewhat response, for our friend saw in the question nothing more than tho evidence of a suspicion as to tho legality of his conjugal relations. Still beaming, the janitor said: “Any children, sir?” Proudly uttered was the response: “Four boys and a girl.” No longer beaming the household agent said, coldly: “I am very sorry, sir, but I cannot let you the apartments.” “Why not?”—this in indignant aston¬ ishment. “Because, sir, the other tenants would leave in a body if we admitted children to this house. Their destructiveness wo might put up with, but their noise is what is most objected to. In New York people get all the noise they want in the streets, It so they want quiet in the house. ’ ’ was in vain that protestations were made as to the angelic character of the youthful quintette in question, and use¬ less was tho emphasis laid on tho fact that all the youngsters had passed tho boisterous age. The fiat was inexorable. No children need apply. An exceptional case, you say. That’s what our friend said. He went from house to house inspecting flat after flat, but everywhere the insurmountable “Have you any children, sir?” put a stop to further negotiations.—New York Cor. Philadelphia Times. Sketch Artist and Camera. “No, I do not think that amateur pho¬ tography is supplanting out door sketch¬ ing,” said a well known Fulton street dealer in artists' materials a few days since, In response to a question of a re¬ porter. “While I do not say that the converse of that proposition is true, I do know for a fact that a larger number of sketch¬ ing classes have gone into the country this summer than have ever before, had and, as a rule, these classes a very large membership. It is a theory of mine, which, I think, can be really demon¬ strated, that there is readily no reason why tho sketch artist and the amateur photographer should not work in perfect harmony, and that the union will be greatly to the benefit of both. “I can give you an instance,” he went on, “where the camera has been of un¬ told service to one of the artists on a well known magazine. Formerly this artist, of more than local renown, used to sketch wholly from nature, but now, when making a tour through England, Scotland, or where he may chance to be, he always carries his camera along, and when he comes across a pretty bit of landscape, a ruined castle or anything else he wishes to preserve, he at once takes a negative. Thus you see that in a few weeks’ time he can take hundreds of negatives, while months would be con¬ sumed on bis tour if ho were compelled to sketch each view himself. When he reaches home he throws the negatives onto a piece of cardboard, touches them up with India ink, then in some way de¬ composes the silver on the plate, leaving the India ink drawing in its place. The drawing is then photo-engraved and is published in the magazine as a bona fide sketch, while, in fact, it is purely a piece of mechanical work.”—New York Mail and Express. How to Test a Mushroom. The mycophagist selects from wood or field a specimen of toadstool which by its external appearance extends an invi¬ tation to try it. Hard, dry, leathery, fetid, slimy, or decomposing ones are left rigidly alone—as they should be. Carefully removing the fungus from its habitation, and after noting its botanical characteristics, a small piece is tasted raw; if it is nauseous, It is thrown away and branded as non-edible; if it is hot, acrid, or bitter, a small piece is cooked without seasoning; if it retains any dis¬ agreeable qualities over the coals, it is branded in like maimer; if it loses them all, larger pieces are cooked and eaten until the kind either gives signs of nox¬ ious If qualities or proves to be harmless. the specimen is mild and pleasant to the taste (a small piece) both raw and cooked, the same care is observed' until a full meal is eaten; and it is very neces¬ sary that it should be; for in one family of gill bearing toadstools—the Amanitas —no sign either cooked or raw is given of its deadly properties. This is the only family to which deaths have been traced; and the botanical characteristics of its members must be thoroughly mastered. There is no other method of testing that is safe. Charms of salt and silver are as useless as the romances of the fortune teller, and even worse; for, if believed in, they inspire a confidence that ‘leads directly to serious results,—Charles Mc- Ilvaine in Lippincott’s Magazine. The many remarkable cores Hood’s Sersa pariUo accomplishes are sufficient proof that it does possess peculiar curative powj t4) ers, HARD AT WORK. BRICE GETS UP EARLY AND LA¬ BORS LONG. What the National Executive Com¬ mitteeman are Doing For the Success of the Party. New York, July 2(5. — [Special.)— Calvin S. Brice evidently feels the re sponsibility of his new position, and has gone into his new duties with even greater vim than he formerly did with the many business affairs in which be was so long engaged, the cares of which are now left com pletly to his partner, Gen. Thomas. The example of punctuality which he seta (he is almost invariably the first person to put in apearance at the Democratic headquarters), is causing many early toilets to be made and early breakfasts taken by the assist ants. Among the callers on Chair man Brice this morning were: Ex- Congressman Benjamin Lcfevre, of Ohio; Charles M. Fox, Washington; M. McLelland, of Pittsburg, member of the Democratic State Committee, of Pennsylvania, and Co!, Jones, of Kentucky. S. P. Sheerin,Secretary of the Com mittee, who has been on a visit to Connecticut, returned this morning, and, with Assistant Secretary Dickin son, was closeted with Mr. Brice for an hour. The purpose of the confer ence was to select more campaign documents for distribution. Many applicants for documents from State and county committees were receiv ed this morning and not a few from individual politicians. Mr Dickin son said that quantities of papers would be sent only to committees, but that individuals might obtain single copies of the documents. The chief business before the com mittee this week will be the distri bution of the Mills Bill, accompanied by the speeches of the leading Demo crats while the bill was under discus •ion. Five hundred thousand copies o(the bill will be printed. It is proposed to make the German bureau one of the leading depart ments at the headquarters this year. “It will be a campaign of intel lect,” said Mr. Brice to day. “The people ot the country are tired of personalites, and whichever party tries to gain votes by circulating lies about its opponent is certain of de feat. Then are great issues this year. There are great cureDcy questions, and the loose constructions of the CoDslituti in in regard to Federa power. If we educate the masses of the people to these qustions, vve. will have onr bands full, without going into disgusting personalises. I be lieve that this campaign will be of great benefit to the voters of this Country, no matter who is elected, for (be distribution of the immense amount of documents relating to economic questions, which we pro pose will have and educational effect which will be felt for many years. The Executive Committee intends to make a clean campaign, send out documents whenever asked to,and re ly oa the good sense of the people for success. We will do all wo can to show up the weak points in me political records of the Republican candidates, but we shall leave their private lives alone.” When They Leave Us, The exodus of our bodily troubles is doubly weloome if their departure is unaccompanied by pain.

C- W. Clark it Son JUDUE ALLEN IN FAIE1IK A Few Thoughts, Notes ami Crop Ke« ports. Ehitor News. A few thoughts on the history of my travel, crcp re¬ port, it will no doubt bo of interest to you and the many readers of the News. I have traveled from Griffin to Fayetteville by private conveyance. After leaving Griffin up to 4 or 5 miles the crops, cotton and corn were good, a continual falling off in cot¬ ton crop up to this point was very perceptible. Com good, the cotton crop showed to late planting or com ing up of the plant, and alow or sluggish culture, which retarded its growth and fruitage. There be¬ ing only one month to the end of its fruiting, all of which I think in sures a short crop. So much as seen on highway travel, Fayette¬ ville, the county seat of Fayette coun ty was organized in 1823, has not grown to any considerable size yet, the population in 05 years only 400 inhabitants. The matorial make up however, is of the best, citizenship. I have never met in any round of travel a moic hightoned, genial, sociable, hospitable, clever set ofpeo pie. C. E. Bonnet, an old Confed erate army chum, who I have not seen since the dose of the war, until Saturday the 21st., ultimo, is a citi zen of this place, and is worth $200, 000 dollars, is plain, unpretentious, unasuming and retired as the hum blest citizen. He extended to mo the very kind hospitality of welcome in bis domain so long as I desired to stay. I accepted a most excellent dinner with him. He presented me with a large size photograph of his, which was appreciated by me. The town of Fayetteville since the Atlan ta & Florida railroad passing through the place has aroused and stimulated the citizens of the place to the interest of beautifying, and remodeling the old ancient buildings into the more modern style, which adds greatly in taste and beauty to its appearance. There are 7 dry good stores, I drug store,2 hotels,1 buggy and woodshop a livery carrier, Methodist and Bap tist church and Institute of learn ing, Prof. Parker in charge. Taking the make up in citizenship of Fayette ville all in all they are whole souled confides, in full fellowship and love, yet, for the rightous but lost cause of the south for h ; r independence, which they prove by precept and ex ample. The Judge Ordinary Frank lyn, and Clerk S. C. Stokes, are both dis bled Confederate soldiers and the ffices they hold, is so held in sympathy as an appreciation to the cause in which they were disabled and 1 glory in the spirit hoping it may never die in the south, but will live until rolling years shall cease to move. I have never seen in life a town as a family more of one¬ ness. there are no city “Ikes” no one mounted on stilt walkers, no swell back und dignity, no want of boot lick nor not any importance can be seen above any of their ears, a family of unity, which is my glory, for it shows the imprint of God, in the fabric of their creation. There two attorneys and two physicians n, this p'm-e, who are truly creatures of cireuan-laeesr living off the mis fortunes of the people and are very necessary in times of disease and trouble to regulate and adjudicate differences legally, and administer a soothing to natures demands in afflie NUMBER 156 ation, and dt>e*se, and see tlfilt no one dies without an excuse of a pro fesaton ible death, which- -y legitt mate. - ■ The Democratic % 2dtfi Sthtorfafooan ty con von lion met hare Srturbay the 21«t July. 1888, to elect delegates the district convention which meets in Griffin July 28th, to nominate a candidate for Senator of the 26th District, for the next General Assam biy of Ga.
