rtt' riffin 'I Daily News. VOLUMK 17 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.

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.

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 Mr. Oetter’s statement. Mr. thought trellises far better than Fresh CANTALOUPES EVERY MORNING. C- W. Clark & Son. 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 Committees were appointed and after a recoss they reported as follows: Committee on grapes find exhibit ed by V.
