Griffin , 6r«.
(jrilllu is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬
gressive town in Georgin. This is no hyper¬
bolical description, as the record of the last
live years will show.
During that time it has built and put into
most successful operation a $100,000 cotton
aetory and is now building another with
nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up a
a ge iron and brass foundry, n fertilizer fac-
0 ry, an immense ice and bottling works, a
sash and blind factory, a broom factory
opened np the finest granite quarry in the
United States, and has many other enter¬
prises in .outemplatiou. It has secured
another . ailroad ninety miles long, and while
ocatcu on the greatest system in the South,
the Central, lias secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennsssee, Virginia
and Georgia. Ithas just secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
the West, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
lo its completion. With
its live white and three colored
ohurclies, it is now building a $10,000 new
Presbyterian church. It has increased its
opulation by nearly one-fifth. It has at-
mrird around its borders fruitgrowers from
early every i tate in the Union, until It is
now surrounded on nearly every side by or-
hards alia vineyards. It is the home of the
rape an.) its wine making capacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully
inaugurated a system of public schools, with
seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the record of a half decade
und simply shows the progress of an already
uiirable city, with the natural advantages
having the finest climate, summer and
ntcr, in the world.
Gridin is the county seat of Spalding
ounty, situated in west Middle Georgia, with
healthy, fertile and roll lug country, 1150
eet above sea level. By tho census of 1890, it
will have at a low estimate between 6.000 and
irth) people, and they are all of the right
ort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
welcome strangers and anxious to secure de-
irablc settlers, who will not be any less wel-
ome if they bring money to help build up
the town. There is about only one thing we
need badly just now, and that is a big hotel.
YVe have several small ones, but their accom¬
modations are entirely too limited for our
l u incss, pleasure and health seeking guests.
If you sec anybody that wants a good loca¬
tion for a hotel in the South, just mention
Gridin.

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 ithasbeenunswerv
iug 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 tranqnillty 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 the Republican part-of making the
government a miser, wringing millions an
uually from the people and locking them np
in vaults to serve no purpose but invite waste
fulness aud 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 i ure and wholesome,
its news serviee 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 SunCay Star is as good as the best
class magazine, and prints about the same
amount of matter. Besides the day’s news
it ib rich in spesial descriptive articles, sto
ries, snatches of current literature, reviews,
art criticism, etc. Burdette’s iuimatible hu¬
mor sparkles in its columns; WillCarleton’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 newspaper published. The
farmer, the mechanic, the business man too
much occupied to read a daily paper, will
get more for ,his dollar invested in Tbb
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.

Why Aaron Burr 1’Ieased.
A chapter devoted to Dr. Hague’s early im¬
pressions of that remarkable personage in our
American history, Aaron Burr, deserves
more than a passing notice. Tho family re¬
lationship to his accomplished and brilliant
wife gave the schoolboy almost daily oppor¬
tunities for observing the charm of Col.
Barr’s manner and conversation. Dr. Hague
enlarges with enthusiasm upon the case with
which that accomplished man put himself in
communication “with people of every class,
from the highest to the lowest, from the most
cultured to the rudest, old and young alike;
instinctively quick to adjust himself, as to
thought, tone and manner, to any personal
presence whatsoever, confident in his ability
to win responsive feeling, and realize the aim,
or even the, whim, that may have impelled
him at the time."
For illustration he describes the entrance
of the colonel into the parlor, once when he
had himself been left there for a moment
alone; “his physique, air, style of movement,
realize a boy’s highest ideal of the soldier
and the gentleman; while his keen and genial
glance and sunny smile, expressive of a per¬
sonal interest as real as if I had been a sena¬
tor, awaken a feeling quickly responsive to
the tone of cheer in his greeting: ‘Well,
Will, I’m glad to see you. Have they left
you here alone?’ ” Dr. Hague sums up the
aggregate of the impression which this fas¬
cinating man made upon him as a boy, and
says that Col. Burr realized to his youthful
conception “the highest type of cultured man¬
hood, and awakened an intense desire to ap¬
propriate and assimilate the elements of
manly power of which he was ever before
me as the most complete exponent.”—W. L.
Kingsley in New England.
Frank Stockton’s Literary Work.
He said: “Yes, I write only my private
letters. 1 dictate all my literary work, and
that to a long hand amanuensis. I think
the mechanical jingle of tho type writer
would disturb my thought; but I am looking
forward to the invention of the phonograph
and graphophone, and hoping that I shall be
able to use them when they are perfected.
Then one could carry his machine with him
wherever he went, and talk into it a chapter
of a novel at his pleasure and send it off for
some one else to transcribe. I dictate about
1,000 words every morning, and I find that I
can do my work easier and better by dictation.
Part of the time I sit-while dictating, and
sometimes get up and walk up and down the
floor. I do not dictate continuously, and I
may rest for fifteen or twenty minutes be¬
tween certain sentences or paragraphs. I
compose, however, my whole work beforo I
begin to put it on paper, and that even to
sentences and conversation.”
I told Mr. Stockton that I could not under¬
stand how a man could thus carry a whole
novel in his head, and he smiled as ho an¬
swered: “I find my memory very good in
such matters, and after once composing a
novel or story in my mind I find it but little
changed from its first composition when I
put it on paper. I do not revise to a great
extent, and my stories arc usually sent off as
they are written. I often write tho last chap¬
ter first, and of ‘Tho HundredthfMan’ I dic¬
tated first the first chapter aud then the last
chapter, with its conversations. I don’t see
how one could write a symmetrical story
without he was sure what the end would be
beforehand.—Frank G. Carpenter in Now
York World.
The New Educational System.
The experimental course of the manual
training system was begun the other day in
some of Now York’s public schools, and if
the new system proves to be what its friends
claim for it, it will most likely be made a
permanent feature of tho regular school
course. This system is not to be engrafted
upon the old course of study, but combined
with it in such a way as not to increase the
demand upon the time or energy of the
pupils. Hours formerly devoted to other ex¬
ercises have been either shortened or are
wholly given to practice in some branch of
the new system.
All pupils must begin at the beginning of
the alphabet, so to speak, of this course; but
naturally thoso who are sufficiently advanced
will pass rapidly on to what is set down for
the grade to which they belong. For in¬
stance, those who know how to sew will not
tarry long in the third primary grade, where
they are taught, according to general direc¬
tions in the manual, “the use of the thimble,
etc.” They wiU go through the eighth grade
of the grammar school, learn to sew on but¬
tons (bless them!) and how to put on patches
neatly and to darn stockings, and so on to
the higher branches of sewing. In the third
grammar grade the cooking lessons begin.
Special teachers will be employed to instruct
not only the pupils, but their regular teachers
as well. In the departments of drawing,
modeling, “shop work” aud |carpenter work,
the same scope and purpose which govern
the other branches will prevail.—New York
World.
Social Progress in India.
Borne enlightened natives of India are
taking active steps to put an end to the scan¬
dals of infant marriage and enforced widow¬
hood. Legislation has hitherto been withheld
on this subject in deference to what has been
conceived to be the customary and religious
law of India. The learned Brahmins of the
reform party now maintain that true Hindoo
law is repugnant to these scandals, and call
upon the government, if it will not de¬
clare, to appoint at least a commission to
inquire into the true state of the case. A
memorial is being signed by the natives,
asking the appointment of a commission
composed of Hindoos and Europeans of op¬
posite views, official and non-official, old anrl
new Sanscrit pandits or learned men, to as¬
certain whether the principles of a bill sub¬
mitted with the memorial are not perfectly
consistent with the Hindoo law. This bill
would date the marriage from the time when
the bridegroom took home his bride, instead
of from what is practically only a betrothal;
and thus at one stroke would afford relief to
millions of unhappy Indian women.—Chi¬

Dyspepsia
Makes tbo lives of many people miserable,
aud often leads to self destruction. We know
of no remedy for dyspepsia more successful
than Hood’s Sarsaparilla. It acts gently, yet
surely and efficiently, tones the stomach and
other organs, good appetite, removes the headoche, faint feeling, and
creates a cares

Sarsaparilla a fair trial. It will do yon good.

THE ENGINEER’S VOTE.
Urol her hood Men Down On Morton Re*
caw* He is in Sympathy With the
“Q” Official?.
Wrap a, Minn, Aug 2.—A relia
able locomotive engineer ami mem¬
ber ot the Brotherhood said in an in
terview today: “Do you know that
Pavti^iorton, the General Passenger
and ticket Agent of the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy railroad, is a
nephew of Levi P. Morton, the nomi
nee on the Republican ticket for
Vice President, and by his aid has
obtained his position ? Levi P. Mcr
ton has declared himself to be in sym
path/ with the road and the policy
it has adopted in the recent strike,
and consequently has made himself
an enemy of the Brotherhood of En¬
gineers! It is only within the past
few days that this knowledge has
crept e$t, but I know that there is
to be ^ united effort among the
Brothemood of Engineers to down
the Republican ticket. Of course
there aae members of the organises
tion who will follow party lines, and
vote in accordance with their best
but at the same time
there aqe many who will relinquish
their party fealty and vote as they
choose. I think that when it comes
down to a vote in November, and in
the coming campaign, that the
Brotherhood of Engineers will cut
a conspicuous figure in favor
of the Democratic ticket. Action
has already been taken by a number
lodges, and it is hard to tell what
public announcement may be made
in the future. It is settled that Mr.
Morton, in pronouncing himself in
favor of the “Q” road, has antagon
ized the feelings of the railroad
men, and can expect but a small
vote for the ticket ot which he is one
of the heads.”

In the run from Texarkana to

almost all the way, hence I could not
see much but what I did see I am
well pleased with. I saw good look

of Texas are hauling their corn and
oats to market. Corn brings from
30c. to 35c, per bushel and oats from
