Griffin, Ga.
Griffin is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬
gressive town in Georgia. This is no hyper¬
bolical description, as the record of the last
live years will show.
paring that time it lias built and put into
i,i,.el successful operation a #100,000 cotton
tictory and is now building another with
nearly twice the capital. It has put up a
n ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac-
ory, an immense iee and bottling works, a
s;lH h and blind factory, a broom factory
o| ci.ed up the llnest granite quarry in the
IT,.lied State*, and lias many other enter¬
prises in ontemplation. It has secured
another . .ulroad ninety miles long, and while
ocateu on the greatest system in the South,
the’Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Teunsssee, Virginia
ami Georgia, it has just secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
the \V st, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to Its completion. With
its live white and three colored
o’i ire lies, it isnow building a $10,000 new
1’ro-byterian ohnrch. It has increased its
opnlation by nearly one-fifth. It has at-
r.ie'ed around its border* fruitgrowers from
early every State in the Union, until It is
now surror »ded on nearly every side by or-
iiards an i vineyards. It lfl the home of the
rape an ! its wine making capacity has
dcubled every year. It has successfully
jiangurated a system of public schools, with
roven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the record of a half decade
an.I simply sliowsthe progress of an already
mirable city, with the natural advantages
having the finest climate, summer and
i.ter, in the world.
Urililn is the county seat of Spalding
minty, situated in west M iddle Georgia, with
healthy, fertile and roll Jug country, 1150
oet above sea level. By the census of 1800, it
will have at a low estimate between 6,000 and
UW people, and they aro all of the light,
ort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
welcome strangers and anxious to secure de-
irable settlers, who will not be any less wel-
orae if they bring money to help build up
(tie town. There is aliout only one thing we
need badly jnst 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.
If you sec anybody .that wants a good loca¬
tion for a hotel in the South, just mention

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 tho metropolitan press, it has
stood by Die men called by tlie 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 itliasbeenunswerv
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 economically
administered is essentially oppressive and
dishonest. The scheme fostered and cham¬
pioned by tlie Republican part-of making the
government a miser, wringing millions an
liually 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 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 service unexceptionable. Each issue
presents an epitome of what is best worth
knowing of tlie world’s history of yesterday.
Its stories are told in good, quick, pictur-
eque Edglish, and mighty interesting read¬
ing they are.
The Sunday Stab is as good as tlie best
class magazine, and prints about the same
amount of matter. Besides the day’s news
it is rich iu spesial descriptive articles, sto
ries, snatches of current literature, reviews,
art criticism, etc. Burdette’s wiimatible hu¬
mor sparkles in its columns; Will Carleton’s
delightful letters arc of its choice offerings.
Many of tlie best known men and women in
literature and art are represented in its col
uinns,
'I'n k Weekly Stab is a large paper giving
the cream of Hie news the w arid 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 .liis 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.

HOW BOTTLES ARE WASHED.
Tlio Old Fashioned Mot hoil» • No Longer
Employed—Now Processes.
It is said that physicians of Elizabeth,
N. J., have attributed the death of a
prominent Son of Temperance of that
city to load poisoning, caused by drink¬
ing temperance beverages out of bottles
which have been cleansed by the use of
shot. Tlie theory is that the rattling of
shot in tho bottles lias caused tho lead
from which tho shot is made to adhere to
tlie glass and subsequently to betaken up
by tlie liquid when tho bottles aro re¬
filled. There aro probably a few old
fashioned bottlers who clean not only
temperance drink bottles, but also wine
bottles, with shot; but that is not tho
practice in the latest approved bottling
establishments^ Fifth where There is one in South
avenue 5,000 I Kittles aro
cleaned every day, and thoroughly
cleaned without the uso of shot.
Ordinary rqot beer and sarsaparilla
bottles aro easily cleaned, because the
material used in them is readily and
quickly solublo in cold water. Tho bot¬
tles aro dumped, throat up, into a big tub
of clean cold water, which is kept clean
by constant replenishment. Each bottle
is quickly filled and allowed to soak a
short time. Then the cleaner grasps
three or four bottles in his two hands,
holding them throat up, and shakes them
vigorously. That is sufficient to dislodge
the sugary coating, and then tho bottles
aro inverted and allowed to drain off.
As they aro made of transparent green
glass, it is easy , to see when they aro
clean. Care is taken to wash out any
flies that have been sepulchcred in the
bottles in their searcli for sweet things.
Tho old fashioned stone bottles that were
formerly used for root beer have long
been discarded, as too heavy and costly.
Tho cleaning of soda water bottles is
more carefully done. Hero warm water
is used, and tho workman manipulates a
four pronged tool that looks like a fork.
Each prong is mounted with a stiff blado
of India rubber, of such shape that when
the prong is thrust into tho bottle tho
rubber blade reaches the inner side of the
bottle. In front of tho workman is a
cocoa mat. Tho bottles aro filled, the
prongs thrust in, and then tho four bot¬
tles at onco are rolled across the mat.
Tins serves a double purpose. Tho mat
cleans the outside of the bottle, and the
rolling brings the whole inside of tho bot¬
tle in contact with tho rubber blado. A
few vigorous rolls cleans the bottlo thor¬
oughly, and then it is rinsed and ready
for use.
Still another process is used for lager
beer bottles, which require even more
vigorous washing. This is done by a
machine with revolving spindles, on
which are placed rubber brushes. Tho
bottle is thrust over tho spindle, which is
run by steam, and running water* carries
off the scum. Each bottlo then gets a
thorough internal scouring.
It is, in fact, an essential element of
success in the bottling business to keep
tho bottles clean, and no manufacturer
who expects to keep his custom would
dare neglect the essential element of
cleanliness. The element of cost prevents,
if no other considerations could do so, tho
slow and tedious method of cleaning bot¬
tles with shot. There was a bottle wash¬
ing machine in use here not long ago
which cleansed bottles with revolving
bristle brushes, but tho wear and tear of
bristles was found to bo too expensive,
although tho work done was very effec¬
tive. Tho substitution of rubber blades
for tho bristles proves to bo cheaper and
quito as thorough. of
A much better way than the uso
shot for cleaning bottles is to put a small
piece of iron chain with small links into
tho bottles with aorno water. This, when
rattled about, will clean a bottlo well. Of
course, if a bottle has been filled with any
greasy substance, tho only way to clean
it thoroughly is with strong alkab, and
this is done by all careful bottlers.—New
York Sun. •
Tlie Heights of Clouds.
Tho cloud illumination caused by the
electrio lights of Detroit and Ypsilanti is
occasionally bo well defined in outline, as
seen from the Ann Arbor observatory,
that it occurred to the director to inau¬
gurate a series of altitude measurements
for tho purpose of determining the
heights of all forms of clouds visible at
Ann Arbor after twilight.
The central portion of Detroit is about
thirty-five miles from the observatory,
whilo Ypsilanti is only fifty-eight miles
distant. Tho azimuths of tho two cities
differ about 30 degs., so that the condi¬
tions for determining tho heights of the
upper and lower clouds can always bo
made favorable when the atmosphere is
sufficiently transparent. When the clouds
aro very high, tho Detroit illumination is
so well defined that the probable error of
a elngio measurement of an altitude is
only a few minutes of arc. When the
clouds are low, the nearer illumination is
well defined and the farther one either
invisible or coincident with the apparent
horizon. The greatest and least heights
recorded up to the present time aro re¬
spectively 17,580 and 770 feet.—Amer¬
ican Meteorological Journal.
An Eastern Newspaper Custom.
The New England papers have a rather
amusing way of prefixing a man’s call¬
ing or family relationship before his
name, as for instance: Chemist 8mith
went into Druggist Brown’s store yester¬
day, and while there met Rector Rob¬
inson, who was talking with General
Notions Jones and his wife. Husband
Jones told Rector Robinson that Daugh¬
ter Jones was much interested in religious
matters, and had attended many of Re¬
vivalist Gush’s services. It is also ru¬
mored that Son Jones has been recently
converted.—New York Tribune.
horticultural society.
A Large Display of Fruits; Vegeta¬
bles rnd Flowers
A special exhibition meeting was
bold ifi Patterson's Hall with a full
attendance and good exhibits.
President Husted presided ami
after tlie reading and adoption of
minuets of previous meeting he
statcdL that the object of the society
is for diffusion of fiuits,nomenclature,
culture, gathering and marketing.
A fffll display of products is need
ed to Assist, and producers should
bo encouraged to exhibit at meet
ings; unfortunately a class of people
who stem to consider a table of
fruit as common property and help
themselves to exhibits, disregarding
the affection'the owner has for what
he shows. Several have protested
against thoughtless persons approp
riating fruit aud felt indisposed to
contirfje their contributions, fn the
absence of any designated topic the
question ol tho best and most profit
able grapes for market was then dis
cussed. Mr. Getter considered the
Ives at the head of tho list although
many consider it a poor grape, it is
free from black rot and mildew,and
on aocoui.t of its productiveness and
good carrying qualities it was tho
most desirsble grape for market.
Mr. Van Dyke states that Ives and
Concord the main money crop grapes,
Ives the best shipper but many con
sumers like and will have Concord
and will always sell, notwithstanding
itsliablility to rot aiid its tender
skin
Mr. Ilusted stated Ives had a poor
reputation North probably because
it was a poor grape when northern
grown, but as grown here was much
sweeter and better, if treated as well
as our newer varieties, it would prob
ably make a fair grape by good cul¬
ture. There are, however, some new
varieties, nearly as fine as hrt house
grapes viz. Empire-State, Duchess,
and Niagaria. Tho Niagara is simi
lar to the Concord and of better
quality as grown here than in the
North where it originated and will
sell in N. Y. City at about 3 'times
the price of Ives. It is delicate and
don’t give good crops without bag¬
ging. Bags cost U0 cents per in.
and putting on GO cents per m. and
value of grapes enhanced 2 to 3 cts
per Ik, and they protect from birds,
insects and weather and oan raise as
many thus per acre as Ives. Better
deversify crops and not hang all on
one variety of grapes. Mr. Getter
agreed with Mr. Husted about Nia
gara being easily affected by rot and
would not consider it advisable to at
tempt raising them without bag
ging. Missouri! ileis'ing is how
ever his first choice as a white
grape, does not rot and will give
good yield per acre perhaps as much
as Ives. Mr. Waddel the “Mary”
is a catawba seedling originating at
Owego, N. Y., he considered it a
particularly desirable grape, with
best qualities of Catawba|and freedom
from rot. He gathered!!) lb* f r om
70 vines planted last spring. At
grape growers meeting in Rochester
last season it was considered a bet
ter keeper and a better grape than
the Catawba, liis Empire State bad
not rotted this jear.
Mr. Getter thinks 2 to 4 wires for
trelles roost economical method
training vines on account of saving
tying vines and the spreading
toliage giving fruit light and air
and protection fromsuo shine, which
is particularly necessary in this cli¬
mate. It is most nearly following
nature to allow the vine to spread
on wires and let fruit hang in a na¬
tural pendulous nranuer, no friction
of bunches against posts and they are
easily gathered. Mr. Stanley
a few last year and he was well
tied with it and quite agreed

stakes They rotted Ladlv
thought deep cultivalion the n- is> n
of it, is very much in favor of wire.
Mr. Waddell stated that in Yates
county New York, with probably
1800 acres of vineyards they were all
wire. It gives a chance to ripen and
grapes to dry after a rain and thus
prevents rot in a degree. Ilia grapes
have brought 12 to 18 cts in N. Y.
City and others at same time and
same market were only getting8 cts,
which difference he credited greatly
to the use of wire trellise.
Mr. Van Dyke says that position
hasbtt'eto do with rot—has 0,000
vines on the ground and little rotas
any one, Farvors terllis, but they
will grow on the ground without rot
Mr. Husted has some grapes on
the ground and they rotted badly
lie admitted that Mr Van Dyke had
success but be thioks it far better
to tie up vines
