Griffin, Ga.
Griffin is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro-
giessive town in Georgia. 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 pat up a
a ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac-
ory, an immense ice and bottling works, a
sash and blind factory, a broom factory
opened up the finest granite quarry in the
Uaited State 0 , and has many other enter¬
prises in .outemplatiou. It has secured
another. ail road ninety miles long, and while
ocatcu on the greatest system in the South,
the Central, has secured connection with its
jruportant.rival, the East Tennsssee, Virginia
and Georgia, It has just secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
the Wi st, 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
Pro-byterian ehuroh. It has increased its
population by nearly one-fifth. It has at-
t fin e 1 a ounB its borders fruit growers from
nearly every btnte in the Union, until it is
now surroiv.ded on nearly every side by or¬
chards and vineyards. It is the home of the
grape an 1 its wine making capacity has
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 fiuest climate, summer and
winter, in the world.
Griffin is the county seat of Spalding
county, situated in west MiddleGeo’gia, witli
a healthy, fertile and railing country, 1150
feet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it
will have at a low estimate between 6,000 and
7, HO people, and they are allot the right
ort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
welcome strangers and anxious to secure de-
lirablc settlers, who will not be any less vvcl-
0 une if they bring money toliolp build up
the town. There is about only one thing we
need badly just now, and that is a big hotel.
We have several small ones, but their accom¬
modations are entirely too limited for our
l.u-inese, pleasure and health seeking guests.
If you see anybody that wants a good loca¬
tion for a hotel in the South, just mention
Griffin.

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, (lie political battle
ground of the Republic.
Jeffersonian Democracy, pure and simple,
is goad enough for the Smit. Single hand¬
ed among the metropolitan press, it has
stood by the men called by the great Dcmoe-
racy to redeem the government from
twenly-five^ears of Republican wastefulness
and corruption aud despotism to the South.
For these four years past ithasbeenuuswerv
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 the Republican part-of making the
government a miser, wringing millions an
nually from the peopla 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 i arc and wholesome,
its news service 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 English, and mighty interesting read¬
ing they are.
Thf. 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 spesial descriptive articles, sto
ries, snatches of current literature, reviews,
art criticism, etc. Burdette’s inimatible hu¬
mor sparkles in its columns; Will Carle ton’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
nmns,
The Weekly Stab is a large paper giving
the cream of the news the w rrld 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 4 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.

A SAMPLE REPUBLICAN.
BILL KEMBLE BOBS UP TO RUN
THE REP. CAMPAIGN.
Good News From the Golden State-
Chairnnn trice Expects to
Carry California.
Special to the News.
Nkw York, Aug. 0.— One oi the
most singular "and not the least in
teresting evolution of this campaign
on the Republican side, is the re ap
pearance of a gentleman who was a
conspicuous character in politics ten
years ago but suddenly went into re
tirement from no fault of his own.
lie is none other than the celebrated
apostle of “addition, division and
silence,’ William H. Kemble, whose
bossship of the Republican party in
Pennsylvania wound up with a sharp
turn eight years ago. Newspaper
readers will have little difficulty in
recalling this interesting bit of his¬
tory—how Kemble and others were
convicted of bribing legislators in
connection with the bills reimburs
ing railroad companies whose pro
perty was destroyed in the Pittsburg
riots of’77. It was Kemble who
discovered Quay and caused him to
be appointed Collector of State
when this misfortune befell him. It
was Quay, true to his instincts, who
by virtue of his position in the Board
of Pardons stood between Kemble
and the penitentiary when every
other resource lailed him. Kemble
though an enormously rich man and
still president of one of the leading
banks of Philadelphia, is to this day
debarred by Ins conviction from ex¬
ercising any of the functions of
zenship. It is doubtful if he will
succeed in his ambition to have his
disabilities removed in time to vote
for Harrison and Morton, but word
comes from the Quaker City that he
is the powerbehind the Quay’s throne
at Republican Headquarters, and is
easily the master spirit of the cam¬
paign. The amount of his personal
contribution to the cause of “pure
polities” is said to be very large.
Chairman Brice was looking as
sleek and chipper as % bridegroom,
when your correspondent dropped in
to pick up any late crumbs about the
progress of the campaign. He is ex
tremely hopeful of carrying the
State of California, and judging
from tho amount of mail matter
which was pointed out as coming
from that .State with assurances
of Democratic triumph, the Chair¬
man’s enthusiasm seems to be well
founded. Dr, James M. Donahue,
Vice President of thh Democratic
State Committee of California told
your representative that not in years
has the Golden State Democracy
been in such excellent form. He in
sists that California is as certain to
go Democratic as Virginia. Blaine^s
great populaaity on account of his
especial championship of the Cali¬
fornia side of the Chinese question,
caused thousands of Democrats to
swing in line for him four years ag®.
This element of strength will not
only be restored to the Democracy
this year, but the same reasons which
impelled Democrats to support the
Republican cisely reversed ticket conditions will under pre-'
transfer
thousands of Republican votes to
Cleveland.

There were last year a few failures
iu Griffin, while several large liquor
houses returned to Atlanta as soon as
prohibition was over, thereby roduc
ing the amount in money, solvent
debts and merchandise. Yet with
all theseidiscouragements Griffin more
than held its own, making a gain of
85,000 in taxable property, while the
gain would have been nearly $100,000
but for such causes. That the
general business was good and out
look now is healthy is shown by the
fact that while the city appraisers
only made an increase of $2,973, the
taxpayers volutnarily returned $18,

TO TAKE THE STUMP.
Prospects of a Campaigu in Tills Cou-
gresional District.
The Atlanta correspondent of the
Telegraph furnishes this interesting
information:
Col. George Thomas, the Repnbli
can candidate for Congress, is now
engaged iu shaping his law practice
so that he can take the stump about
the 15th. He will speak in every
county in the district, and bis main
topic will be the tariff, upon whicn
he is well versed. He will let the
“bloody sb: l” issue severaly alone,
as he believes it would stir up nonce
essary antagonism, He is of the
opinion tl-t owing to the chaotic
condition of the Democratic party in
Fulton county, there will be no
trouble in carrying it. Col Thomas
says several protection Democrats
have given him to undertand that
tnvy will aid him all they can. While
ofjeonrse Judge Stewart will be re
elected, it would be folly on the part
of bis friends to think that he would
have a walk over.
