Griflln U the livelioet, pluckiest, most pro¬
gressive town in Georgia. This is no hjper-
bolioal 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
actory and is now building another with
nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up a
it'ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac-
ory, an immense ice and bottling works, a
sash and blind factory, a broom factory
opened np the finest granite quarry in the
United State*, and has many other enter¬
prises in .outemplatiou. It has secured
another . ailroad ninety miles long, and while
ocateu on the greatest system in the South,
the Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennessee, Virginia
aud Georgia. It has just secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
the West, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to its ultimate completion. With
its live white and three colored
churches, it is now building a $10,000 new
Presbyterian church. It has increased its
population by nearly onc-tiftli. It has at-
t -acted around its borders fruit growers from
n^any every ijtatc in the Union, until 'll is
now surrounded on nearly every side by or¬
chards and vineyards. It is the home of the
grape an 1 its wine making capacity lias
doubled every year. It has successfully
inaugurated a system of public schools, with
a seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the record of a half decade
and simply shows the progress of an already
admirable city, with the natural advantages
of having the finest climate; summer and
winter, in the world.
Griffin is the county seat of Spalding
county, situated in west Middle Georgia, with
a healthy, fertile and rilling country, 1150
feet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it
will have at a low estimate between 6,000 and
7, tiO people, and they pro all of the right
ort—wide-awake, up to the time?, ready to
welcome strangers and anxious to secure de¬
sirable settlers, who will not be any less wel¬
come if they bring money to help buildup
the town. There Is about 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
I luincss, pleasure and health seeking guests.
If you sec anybody that wauls a good loca-
tionfor a hotel in the South, just mention
Griflln.

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
ing in its fidelity the administration of Grov¬
er Cleveland. It is for him now—for Cleve¬
land arid Thurman—for four years more of
Democratic honesty in onr rational 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 ou 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
nually 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 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 oftlio world's history of yesterday.
Its stories are told in good, quick, pictur-
eque Edg'd-h, aud 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 spesinl descriptive articles, sto
ries, snatches of current literature, reviews,
art criticism, elc. Burdette’s iuimatiblc 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 arc represented in its col
utnns,
The Weekly Star is a large paper giving
the cream of the news the w irld over, with
special features which make it tire 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.

POLITICS AND CROPS.
HOW OHIO AND THE NORTHWEST
STAND ON BOTH.
Aa Interview With Governor Alger-
The Fall of Babylon as Seen
by Distinguished Eyes
After one day at the Cincinnati ex
position, we proceeded to Findlay,
due north of there about two hun¬
dred miles. On the w y up we pass
ed through some of the best farming
lands in the west, and Tom White
was greatly astonished to see fields
of high corn so thickly planted as to
seem almost impenetrable and bear¬
ing two and three ears on tho stalk.
It has been a phenomenal season in
hio, and crops ol all kinds are
growing and bearing wonderfully.
There is greatly less than an average
acreage in wheat in this section,
owing to the ground being in a bad
condition to plant at the proper time;
but on an excursion further north to
Lake Erie, many very beautiful
fields were seen—some cut, some
ready to cut and some with the reap
ers in the field.•
The farmers are therefore happy
and the merchants in go?d spirits, al
though the season is as dull as in the
South. Politics are not as hot as
represented in the papers, and the
campaign is not fairly opened, al
though the Democrats organized a
solid club of two hundred members
at a country precinct near Findlay
the same night we arrived there, a
week ago yesterday. In Hancock
county the county nominations will
not be made until September, and
after (hat matters will warm up to
suit the most hot blooded. Among
the local politicians of Findlay I
found plenty ol hopes of Democratic
success in the presidential election,
with no too sanguine hopes of carry
ing Ohio, although with tho splen¬
did fighting qualities of Northern
Democrats they would not admit
that there was no prospect of the
State going Democratic—and it may
go that way. But of Indiana no
doubt is expressed.
How the Republicans look at it
may be judged by an interview had
with Governor Alger, who was in at
tendance at the Exposition on our re
turn through Cincinnati, having just
come from a conference with Gener
al Harrison at Indianapolis. He sub
mitted gracefully to an interview,but
was not inclined to express himself
very freely.
“What does General Harrison
think of the outlook?” was asked.
“He is very well satisfied and
quite confident of being elected.
There is wonderful enthusiasm for
him in Indiana.”
“What are the prospects in Micbi
gan, Governor?”
“I have no doubt the Republicans
will carry the State by a good ma
jority, but still the Democrats are
making a bard fight.”
“You have seen, of course the
numerous reports about your large
contribution to the Republican cam
paign fund’”
“Yes, the papers have had a good
deal to say about me, and I never
affirm nor deny their assertions.”
At this point Governor Alger re¬
ferred the interviewer to Mr. Hop
kins, who is running tho Republican
campaign in Michigan, with the re
mark that Mr. Hopkins could speak
more intelligently in regard to poll
tics than himself.
“I have just come from Michigan,’
said Mr. Hopkins,“and I think I un
derstand the situation there pretty
well. The Democrats intend to
carry the State if they can. They
have nominated for Governor A. R.
urf, of Saginaw, a very wealthy
man,who was a Republican four years
ago. He intends to win if possible
AB he is not the kind of a man who
would accept the empty honor of a
nomination unless he thought he
could be elected. The Democratic
Greenback fus’on this year does
not amount to much* It only in
eludes the former Greenbackers who
now lold State or Federal offices.
One wing of the Federal Greenback
ers, headed by Moses W. Field, of
Detroit, will support the Republi¬
cans because they are opposed to free
trade. Another wing, known as the
Union Labor party, promise to nomi
natea full State and Electoral ticket
at their convention on the loth of
this month. Burt and his agents
are trying to capture the Union La
bar people and the indications arc
that they will suceed, I acknowledge
that the fight in Michigan will be a
hard one, but I see nothing to make
me believe that the Democrats can
carry the State.”
A thing as well worth seeing as
the exposition is the “Fall of Baby
Ion/’ a grand spectacular display oc
cupying several acres of ground and
with an auditorium in which several
very good sized audiences can be
lost. Besides Mr. White and myself,
of Georgia, there were several distin
guished visitors on Thursday night,
among them Governor Alger, of Mich
gan, his sons and daughters, and
Governor Foraker, of Ohio, with his
wife and children. Both Governors
were warm in their praise of tho
great spectacle and frequently ap
plauded portions of the performance
with us, seeming particularly pleas
cl with the graceful evolutions of
tho three hundred ballet dancers. Af
ter the performance, and the specta
tors had taken leave of the smoking,
charred ruins of Babylon, Govs. Al
ger and Foraker took luncu with a
number of Cincinnati magnates;
while Tom and I, not cariDg for so
much formality aud exchange of com
pliments on a hot evening, took our
wiener wurst, switzer cheese and tho
usual Cincinnati beverage in the ante
chamber of the auditorium and pro
ceeded by a green line car back to
town. • D. G.
TIIE ENGINEER’S VOTE.
Brotherhood Men Down On Morton Be¬
cause He Is In Sympathy M illi the
“(J” Officials.
Winoa, Minn., Aug U .— A relia
able locomotive engineer and mem¬
ber of the Brotherhood said in an in
terview today: “Do you know that
Paul Morton, 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 p ration? Levi P. Mor
ton has declared himself to be in sym
pathy with the road and the policy
it has adopted in the recent strike,
and cjnsequently has made himself
an enemy of the Brotherhood of En¬
gineers. It is only within the past
few days that this knowledge has
crept out, but I know that there is
to be a united effort among the
Brotherhood of Engineers to down
the Republican ticket. Of course
there are members of the organiza
tion who will follow party lines, and
vote in accordance with their best
judgement; but at tire same time
there are many who will rolr quish
their party fealty and vote a. they
choose. 1 think that when it comes
down to a vote in November, and in
the coming campaign, that the
Brotherhood of Engineers will cut
quite a conspicuous figure in favor
of the Democratic ticket. Action
has already been taken by a number
of 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 exp.-ct but a small
vote for the ticket ot which he is one
of the heads.”

Notes From the Horticultural Meet-
ing;
Jno. Keith came down in time to
put in some good licks for Griffin.
Mr. and Mrs. V. L. Hughes were
taken in charge by Sheriff Hurst on
their ariival, but they were not lock
ed up.
Seneca Burr, our old townsman,
was a wholo committeo of reception
in himself the way ho got around.
David Bailey, Jr., wouldn't listen
to J. D. Husted calling Griffin a ru
ral city without rising to object.
Griffin, the “Rural City.” will en
tertain the society next year just tho
same.
Rudolf Oetter will be one of three
delegates to tho State Agricultural
Society, making another scoro for
Spalding county.
Cjt'.on fi Ids near Albany are white
with opon bolls and picking has com
rnenced.
Mr. Reed, Waycross, says 90| per
cent, of his Marianna plum cuttings
rooted. This shows what tho wiie
grass section can do.
L. A. Rumph has on his place near
Marsliallvillo 10 acres of egg plants,
10 acres of okra, 1 acre of collards
and 1 acre of mustard—all grown for
seed.
Mr. Anthony, of Macon, showed
07 varieties of grapes, the largest
number by any ono exhibitor. We
hope ho will do as well or better next
year at Griffin and bring along sam
pies of wine also.
The efficiont assistant Secretary
H. N. Starnes, of Marietta, promises
to show what North Georgia can do
in the way of grape culture next
year.
Dr. Jones, of Herndon, exhibited
specimens of the Bertram grape, or
iginated by him, which will certain
ly prove an acquisition for table and
wine use and vines will be eagerly
sought when the Doctor puts them
on tho market.
Mr. Husted's essay on the uecessi
ty of new varieties of fruits was ro
ceived with good attention and rais
ed quite au interesting discussion
on the subject of hybridization.
Prof. Newman in a private conver
Ration said that underdrawing vine
yard land previous to planting will
pay as an investment.
Our old citizen Jno. Keller was on
the grape committee and read a good
report, but wo are sure that commit
tee will have more onerous duties
next year at Griffin.
The committee on wine was a sine
cure, only one specimen being exLib
ited. We trust their labors will not
be > dry next year.
TWe ladies from Griffin wereatten
live and appreciative listeners to the
debate?, which cannot be said of the
majority of lady delegates.
To conclude wo may may well say
that with such representative men as
Messrs. Hasted, Oetter, Wayman and
VanDyke, Spalding county can well
be proud of her delegation. W.

A (‘tenant Ocoassion.
< )u Friday afternoon, just after
the closing hours of business, the cm
ployes of tiie New York Stone pre
sented Mr. I). W. Shaffer with a
pair of exquisite ink stands, a unique
paper weight and a beautiful gold
pen and holder. Tho occasion be
ing the giving up of the position as
manager of the New York stcre to
engage in busisness for himself.
Mr. B. G. Randall was spokesman
for the party and did his part well,
In conclusion ho said: “In asking
your acceptance of this small gift, of
course we do not do it for its intrin
sic value but rather as a token of re¬
membrance of those you have been
associated with for the p ist two years.
In your leaving we fr" ’ lie loss of
an energetic manag' • tr friend
and a kind boss, an.; •> ish for you
that success that shoald como to one
whose fine business qualities and
agreeable manners justly entitled him
to receive.”
It was a pleasant surprise to Mr.
Shaffer and found him somewhat at
a loss for something to say. In a
few well chosen remarks, however,
he thanked his friends and former
associates for this evidence of their
regard and assured them that memo
ry would often call up tho pleasant
years of business and friendly rela
lions with them. He said good by with
the kindest feeling for one arid all
from the book keeper to the smallest
cash boy. He had tried to make it
pleasant for all and now parted with
them feeling satisfied they had left
nothing undone which could possibly
show their willingness to conform to
his wishes. He wanted to say to the
incoming manager that if he had
looked in lorty states be could not
have found a more delightful set of
associates than the clerks and cash
boys of the old New York store.
The 'Decision was a very happy
one throughout and showed in a
very marked way that Mr. Shaffer
was most highly csteemt-,1 by thos
who served under him during his
management. 4
The editor joins with the salea
men of the New York store and
many otht r friends in wishing Mr.
Shaffer unbounded success in his
new business.
