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 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.

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¬ cago News.__ 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 refreshes the hardened mind. Give Hood’s Sarsaparilla a fair trial. It will do yon good. d 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.” MEN OF THE HOUR. Roger Q. Mills has a passion for the collection of odd walking canes. Elijah Gibbons of Irontown, O,. is 105 years old and frisky as a boy. Ben Butler has left Boston in the yacht America for his annual summer cruise. Joseph Davis of Wayne county W. Va., has a daughter aged (5 years» who weighs 250 pounds.

Editor News:—I promised to write through your valuable paper lo many friends, etc. I left Griffin the morning of July 25th for Par Texas, arrived in Atlanta at 10 and left at 1. Just here let say as far as I could see crops are from Atlanta to Chattanooga. in Chattanooga at 0:50 and for Memphis at 7 o’clock: *bad an night run and could notsee the Reached Memphis at G:10 on morning of 26th and after four hours left for Hoxie we arrived at 4:30. On this I flfiw some of the best’eorn and cotton I ever saw and from present indications the corn will make all the way from 25 to 75 bushels per acre the cotton will make a bale to the acre. I lay over at Hoxie three hours. I have a sister living in twen ty miles of Hoxie who I will visit as I come back and give a description of the country, crops and people, I left Hoxie for Texarkana at 7:30 where I arrived at 7 o’ciock on- the morning of the 27th. On this run I went through Little Rock, the capi tol of Arkansas. Another night run so cannot tell any thing about the crops. Loft Texarkuu at 9:15 aud arrived at this place at 11;40 where" I found my brother-in-law waiting at the depot for me. In the run from Texarkana to Paris it is in the odgo of the timber almost all the way, hence I could not see much but what I did see I am well pleased with. I saw good look ing crops. The railroad runs up Red river from Texakana to Pane, which is only 16 miles from the In dian Territory. From what I have seen of Paris it is a much larger and nicer city than I thought to find- The people say times are dull, but it seems that there is a great deal of trade, trnfic building, &c., going od. Somo as, fine brick buildings as I have ever seen are here and the court house is one of them. The college is also a fine structure, holding 750 pupils. Let me say to the farmers of Geor gia that, the farmers of this portion of Texas are hauling their corn and oats to market. Corn brings from 30c. to 35c, per bushel and oats from 20c. to 30c. I saw hay coming in from the meadows by the wagon load at 25c. to 35c. per bale. I will have to close. You will hoar me next week and I will give what I know to be facts about the country. I forgot to say I got here safe and sound and found my sister and Ler chii ( ren in good health. Well, Mr. Editor, I know yo can sympathise with a fellow after travel about 800 or 1000 miles and is covered with dust and That is jubt the condition bumble servant was in when I Paris, Well, I have scrubed some of it.
