VOLUME 17
Griffin, Ga.
Grirtin is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬
gressive town in Georgia, This is notijper-
boiical description, as the record of the last
Are years will show.
During that time it has built aud put into
most successful operation a 1100,000 cotton
actoryaudis now building another with
nearly twice the capital. It has pnt 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
United States, and has many other enter¬
prises in outemplatiou. It has secured
another. allroad ninety miles long, and while
oeatcu on the greatest system in the South,
the Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennsssce, Virginia
aud Georgia, It has just secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
the Wtst, aud has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to its ultimate completion. With
its five white and three colored
churches, it is now building a $10,000 new
Presbyterian church. It has increased its
population by nearly one-fifth. It has at-
t ra r<p ’a-tiund its borders fruitgrowers from
neatly every !)tate in the Union, until il is
now Mirror;..ded on nearly every side by or¬
chards artd vineyards. It is the home of the
grape ami its wine making ■ capacity has
doubled every year. It lias 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
uml simply shows the progress of an already
admirable city, with the natural advantages
of having the finest climate, summer and
vrn.ter, in the world.
GHJlin is the county seat of Spalding
county, situated in west MiddleGeo^gia, with
a healthy, fertile and rolling country, 1150
feet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it
will have at a low estimate between 6,000 and
7,"00 people, and they are all of the right
ort—■wide-awake, up to the times, 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 build up
the town. There is about only one tiling we
need badly just now, ami that k a big hotel.
We have several small ones, but their aceom-
inodations are entirely too limited for our
b» ; iness, pleasure ami health seeking guests.
If you see anybody tli.it wants a good loca¬
tion for a hotel in the South, just mention
Griffin.
Griffin is the place where the G biffin
News is published—daily and weekly—the
vest newspaper in the Empire State of the
Georgia, Please enclose stamps in sending

This brief sketch will answer July 1st,

changed to keep up with the times.

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 p ditical battle
ground of the Republic,
Jeffersonian Domociacy, pure and simple,
is good enough for the Stab. 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 and Thurman—for four years more of
Democratic honesty in our fhitional atlairs,
and of continued national tranqnility and
prosperity.
For people who like that sort of Democracy
the Stab is the paper to read.
The Stab stands squareiy 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 people and lockin g them up
in vaults to serve no purpose but invite waste
fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬
strous crime ugainst 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 Stab is a great
newspaper. Its tone is i urc 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 Edglish, and mighty interesting read¬
ing they are.
The Sunday St/u is as good as the best
class magazine, and prints about the same
amount of matter. Besides the dayls 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 Carleton’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 if Id 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 The
Weekly Stab than from any other paper
It will be especially aiert during the cam
paign, and will print tiie freshest and most
reliable political news.

FINE CROP PT.
Cheering News from Among the ONI
Clay Hills.
It is certainly yery gratifying to
every one to behold the fine pros
pects we have in this county for
good crops of every kind. The rains
so far this season have been exoep
tionally fine for all field crops, and
the result is the corn and cotton crops
in this section are as fine as the lands
will produce. If no unforeseen ca
lamity befalls them, these crops will
be the largest and best made in
Spalding connty for many years.
The present outlook for a good
business this fall bas never been
more flattering at this season, and if
the rains continue for the next few
Weeks ns they have in tbe past, we
can see no good reason why onr
highest hopes in this particular may
not be fully realized.
A full and abundant crop in this
section is greatly needed, and we
trust the highest hopes of our peo
plo may be fully realized in the pres
ont growing crops.
