VOLUME 17
p ■ Griffin,
!| (ifitiiu is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬
gressive town in Georgia. This is no hjper-
bolieal description, as the record of the last
Ore years will show.
Duriug that time it has built and put into
most successful operation a $100,000 cotton
M ttiry and is now building another with
nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up a
a ge iron and brass foundry* a fertilizer fac-
0 ry, an immense ice and bottling works, a
gash and blind factory, a broom
opened up the finest granite quarry in the
United State®, and has many other enter¬
prises in .outemplation. It has secured
another . .nlroad ninety miles long, and while
oeatea on the greatest system in the South,
the Central, Iras secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia. Ithasjust secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
the Wt st, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to its ultimate completion. With
its five white and three colored
ohnrches, it is now building a $10,000 new
Presbyterian churoh. It has increased its
population by nearly one-fifth. It has at-
t rae'e 1 around its borders fruit growers from
nearly every State in the Union, until it is
now surroin.ded on nearly every side by or¬
chards and vineyards. It is the home of the
grape and 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 finest climate, summer nnd
winter, in the world.
Griffin is the county scat of Spalding
county, situated in west Middle Georgia, 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,WH) people, and they are all of the right
ort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
weleome strangers and anxious to secure de¬
finable settlers, who will not be any less wel-
oome 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.
We have several small ones, but their accom¬
modations are entirely too limited for our
Itiiness, pleasure and health seeking guests.
If you see anybody that wants a good loca¬
tion for a hotel in the South, just mention
Griffin.
Griffin is the place where the Ubiffin
News is published—daily and weekly—the
vest newspaper in the Empire State of the
Georgia, Please enclose stamps in sending
for sample copies.
This brief sketch will answer July 1st,
18818. By January 1st, 1889, it will have to he
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 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 and Thurman—for four years more of
Democratic honesty in onr national affairs,
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 squarely on the National
Democratic platform. It believes that any
tribute exacted from the people in excess of
the demands of a government economic ally
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 i u"e 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 nrisrkty 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 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 irid 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 alert during the cam
paign, and will print the freshest and most
reliable political news.

His Correspondence With the Com¬
mittee.
The following correspondence is
self explanitory:
Griffn, GA.Joly 28 tb,1888.
Hon. Jxo. I. Hall, Griffin, Ga.
Sir:— As a committee appointed
by the c'emocnftT^SfvenlTon for tbe
26th Senatorial dislrict, which met
in session this day and nominated
you as the party’s candidate for sena
tor. We as a committee from that
body, were delegated the pleasant
duty of informing you of such action
and to ask yon to accept the nomina
tion.
We are pleased to be able to say
that your nomination was unanimous
and heartily tendered by tbe conven
tion which, without dissent adopted
the following resolutions;
Resolved, That the Democratic
party of the 26th Senatorial district
takes pride in commending to the
district Judge Jno, I. Hall, who pos
sesses those qualifications of mind
and character whieb eminently
fit him for the position, to which bis
party has called him.
Resolved further, That in view of
the all important measures which
wili come up for consideration he
fore tbe next session of the Legisla
ture we feel in the person of Judge
Hall we shall have a representative

ests of the people of Georgia.
With high personal esteem and re
for you we have the honor to
Your obdient servants.

Committee.
Griffin, Ga., Aug. Gtb, 1888.
Messrs. W. B. Hudson, W. M. Mai
lett and Charles R. Wolsey, Com
mi t tee,
Gentlemen: —Your communication
the 28th ultimo,in which you as the
the committee of the 26th Senatori
Democratic convention notify mo
of my nomination as the candidate of
the party for tbe Senate, was jeceiv
ed very late on the day it bears date
and a continued absence from homo
on professional business has prevent
ed an earlier reply.
I accept the nomination tendered
tome by the convention through you,
and if your choice is ratified at the
polls I shall protect aud further the
interest of the people to the best of
my ability. My position on the lead
ing questions that will likely be dealt
with in the next General Assembly
is well known to the voters of the
district; for on those questions I de
dared my views fully before the pri
marv was held which resulted in my
selection for the senate.
There are other questions—per
haps many—that may come before
the next General Assembly, but as I
have not the space in this short let
ter of acceptance to refer to and dis
cuss them I will simply say that in
all matters I shall use my best judg
ment to Promote the interest of the
people.
Please accept for yourselves, the
convention you represent, and the
people of the district my sincere
thanks for the honor conferred upon
me by the nomination, and I give my
special thanks for the very flattering
terms in which the convention saw
proper to present me to the voters of
the 26th Senatorial district as the
democratic candidate for the senate-
With high regard-, I am

The Pike County S. S. Convention.
The Sunday School Convention of
PikeeomPy convened at BlnfF Spring
camp ground Aug. 1st, President T.
J. Barrett piesidiug. The meeting
was called to order by the President
with singing and prayer by the Rev.
J. Singleton, followed by an address
of welcome by Arthur Pope, son of
Judge J as. Pope, of Zebulon, It
was quite appropriate and delivered in
good style, which has added another
laurel to his attainments: if improv¬
ed will bo a gem of great price in his
future usefulness. D, P. Blake, son
of Capt. A. W. Blake, of Griffin, re
sponded in quite an eloquent address,
equally appropriate as the address of
welcome, which points for him a
bright future in usefulness and an
orator with proper training.
Tbe roll call of schools and respon
ses were next in order. The response
to roll call report 2000 Sunday school
scholars, including superintendents
and teachers, in Pike county. The
various topics for the advancement
and interest of Sunday schools wore
elaborately discussed by able divines;
essays, speeches and songs from the
adult scholar to the smallest juvenile
were entertained.
Rev. Henry Quigg, D. D., Presby
terian divine, entertained the conven
tion in a very eloquent lecture on
the traiuiug of children and church
modification, which was replete in ed
ification. Tlio illustrations be used
were practical, showing up human
nature in many forms. His conclus
ions on church modification wero
amusing in accent, aggression and
modern progression of tho churches.
That the Methodist was always satis
fied with the little quantify of water,
just enough to sprinkle in baptism;
the Presbyterians a sufficient quanti
ty only lo pour; the Baptist in an
cient days were not satisfied with a
less quantity than the river Jordan,
or Phillips creek, but id these more
modern daya wero satisfied with tho
small quantity of a church tank half
full. Al) of which indicated a church
milloniutn in tho near future, which
would be the proudest day of his life.
The essays, reading one of which
attracted my attention in particular
by Miss Ophelia Manley, daughter cf
Washington Manley. She read an
essay with the rhetorical force and in
flection of the distinguished and able
pastor of the Methodist church in
Griffin and who is one of tho ablest
divines in the North Georgia confer
ence. Miss Manley ought to have
had a priz\ Next and last on the
speaker, but not least, the ex-Presi
dent of the convemiou and President
eleetjare no doubt men of sterling
worth in Sunday school advance
ment.
Next tbe prize singing, three
schools only chiding for the prize.
The schools were Barnesviile, CLnta
ry Nelson and Fincher. The prizes
were a silk banner and one dozen
“Gospel Voices, ’ also five dollars in
gold offered to the best class of sing
ers under 12 years of age. The
judges were Capt. A. W, Blake, Prof,
Jae. Biasingame and CoJ. John
Banks. The Barnesviile contestants
were Mrs. J. C. Porch, Misses May
Stafford, Pearl Swatts, Jean Ken
drick, Lutie Tyler, Lncy Murphey
and Belie Crowdei; Messrs J. M.
Cochran, J. il. Lambdin and B. Z.
Holmes, oi ly nine against forty or
fifty in ei.her of the other c:.is*cs
In juBtice to the Barnesviile class
they chose the most difficult piece in
the musical books, yet they were
trained to opera music, voices well
cultivated, full cf music, which was
enchanting in angelic sweetness. I
never heard sweeter siDging in the
Brooklyn Tabernacle in New York,
and yet the judges awarded the
prizes to the Century Nelson school,
I know not from what standpoint,
but suppose they acted on the princi
pie of State fairs, awarded lo those
whose influence to the enterprize was
largest. Prof. Jas. Blas.Dgame pre
sented the prizes in a beautiful ad
dress, likewise the response received
