Tins is no hyper¬ bolical description, as the record of the last lire years will show. 7 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 a . ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac- or y, an immense ice and bottling works, a sash and blind factory, a broom factory opened up the finest granite quarry in the Ui.ited States, and has many other enter¬ prises in .outemplation. It has secured another. abroad ninety miles long, and while ooatca on the greatest system in the South, the Central, has secured connection with its important rival, the East Tennessee, Virginia end 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 five white and three colored ohorches, it is now building a $10,000 new Presbyterian church. It has increased its population by nearly one-flfth. It has at- t rarle ’ a-ound its borders fruit growers from ■early every State in the Union, until it is now surrounded on nearly every side by or¬ chards and vineyards. It is the home of the grape ar.'l 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 sud simply shows the progress of an already udinirable city, with the natural advantages of having Die 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 ruling country, 1150 feet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it wilt have at a low estimate between 6,000 and 7 ,,03 people, and they are all of the light ort—wide-uwake, up to the times, ready to weleome 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, and that is a big hotel. We have several small ones, but their accom¬ modations are entirely too limited for our business, pleasure and health seeking guests. If you see anybody tint wants a good loca- tionfor a hotel in the South, just mention Griffin. where the Gbiffin Griffin is the place News is published—daily and weekly—the vest newspaper in the Empire State of the Georgia.

Bread, biscuit and cake, now generally made by tlie aid of baking powder, enter so largely into our daily food that their debasement by the introduction of any inju¬ rious or deteriorating substance is a matter of serious concern to the public health. What baking powder shall we use to avoid the lime and alum now found in so many leavening agents, and to insure pure, sweet and wholesome bread, is a question, therefore, of direct importance to every individual. The “Royal” has been determined by the Govern¬ ment chemists and the most prominent food analysts to be the only baking powder made that is entirely free from lime, alum and other impurities, and absolutely pure. It is made from cream of tartar refined for its exclusive use by patent processes by which the tartrate of lime is totally eliminated. No other baking powder manufacturer uses chemically pure cream of tartar, and hence the adulteration of other brands. The “Royal” is, accordingly, the only baking powder that will produce perfectly pure bread, biscuit, cake, pastry, etc,; and these articles are now pro¬ nounced more wholesome when raised by the Royal Baking Powder than when leavened by any other agent. • It is particularly a question of health, therefore, what baking powder we shall use; and those who appreciate the miseries of dyspepsia and other ailments that follow the use of impure food, will not hesitate to select the “ Royal.” 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 Jeffersonian of the Republic. and simple, Democracy, pure 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 onr national affairs, and of continued national tranquility and prosperity. For of Democracy people who like that sort 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 taxationthe Star’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 mighty interesting read¬ ing they are. is good the best The Sunk ay Star as as 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 inimatiblc hu¬ mor sparkles in its columns; Will Carlcton’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 umns, large . . The Weekly Star is a paper giving the cream of the news thewirld over, with special features which make it the most complete family newspaper published.

New York.. at juqi “No, I do not think that amateur pho¬ tography is supplanting out door sketch¬ ing,” said a well known Fulton street dealer in artists’ materials a few days since, in response to a question of a re¬ porter. that “While I do not say the converse of that proposition is true, I do know for a fact that a larger number of sketch¬ ing classes have gone into the country this summer than ever before, and, as a rule, these classes have bad..a very large membership. It is a theory of mine, which, I think, can bo really demon¬ strated, that there is readily no reason why the sketch artist and the amateur photographer should not work in perfect harmony, and that the union will be greatly to the benefit of both. “I can give you an instance,” he went on; “where the camera has been of un¬ told service to one of the artists on a well known magazine. Formerly this artist, of more than local renown, used to sketch wholly from nature, but now, when making a tour through England, Scotland, or where lie may chance to be, he always carries his camera along, and when ho comes across a pretty bit of landscape, a ruined castle or anything else lie wishes to preserve, ho at once takes a negative. Thus you see that in a few weeks’ time he can take hundreds of negatives, while months would be con¬ sumed on his tour if he were compelled he to sketch each view himself. When reaches home he throws the negatives onto a piece of cardboard, touches them up with India ink, then in some way de¬ composes the silver on the plate, leaving the India ink drawing in its place. The drawing is then photo-engraved and is published in the magazine as a bona fide sketch, while, in fact, it is purely a piece of mechanical work.”—New York Mail and Express. IIow to Test a Mushroom. The mycopliagist selects from wood or field a specimen of toadstool which by its external appearance extends an invi¬ tation to try it. Hard, dry, leathery, fetid, slimy, or decomposing ones are left rigidly alone—as they should be. Carefully removing the fungus from its habitation, and after noting its botanical characteristics, a small piece is tasted raw; if it is nauseous, It is thrown away and branded as non-edible; if it is hot, acrid, or bitter, a small piece is cooked without seasoning; if it retains any dis¬ agreeable qualities over the coals, them it is branded in like manner; if it loses all, larger pieces are cooked and eaten until the kind either gives signs of nox¬ ious qualities or proves to bo harmless. If the specimen is mild and pleasant to the taste (a small piece) both raw-and cooked, the same care is observed until a full meal is eaten; and it is very neces¬ sary that it should be; for in one family of gill bearing toadstools—the AmaniUe —no sign cither cooked or raw is given of its deadly properties. This is the only family to which deaths have been traced; and the botanical characteristics of its members must be thoroughly mastered. There is no other method of testing that is safe. Charms of salt and silver are as useless as the romances of the fortune teller, and even worse; for, if believed in, they inspire a confidence that leads directly to serious results.—Charles Mc- Uvaine in Lippinoott’s * Magazine. * ' --«■ »■ For milk shakes,ices and mineral wa ters go to Drewry’s- eod PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS.

Editor News:— Tbe two wings ol the Democratic party, Antis and Pros, each met in Zebulon, Pike county, on Tuesday, Aug. 7, with a delegation from primary election of the various districts of the county, for the purpose of electing delogates to the gubernatorial convention, which met in Atlanta the next day, and also nominate representative candidates for the next General As sembly. Now, former resolutions from both sides embodying the same substance having been accepted by Antis and Pr03 as a basis of settle¬ ment cnbocal and past differences be tween them and there being nc hob by to run on, the conservatives set to work to harmonize and heal tho breach of the long continued laoera ted wound, between the two disaffec ted parties. To do this I submitted a proposition in writing to the chair man of the Anti convention, for the consideration and action of the con vention. He directed that I hand it to the secretary to be read by him, which I did. After waiting quite a while for its reading seeing a pro per opportunity ol leisure in tbe con vention, I appealed to the chair to hear it read for tho consideration of the convention. The proposition was that a conference committee be appointed from both sides to arrange for the harmony so macb desired. My appeal was met by one of the body as being out of order. He further said that no outsider of the ones comprising the convention could be heard, that they were the repre sentativc body of the people of the county, and no one outside the con., vention bad the right to be heard, and the chairman, not knowing any bett»f, so ruled me out of order, which I submitted to, with the reply, that I had acted strictly in accord to parliamentary rule, all of whieh availed nothing. He held to his in¬ flexible ruling. So I felt to be an alien banished to the Isle of Patmos, I was not a sovereign,was not entitled to the privilege of citizenship, there fore c there was ne need of my extend ing any other proposition to that august body, so I withdrew, wag ging my own tail, proudar of my self than of their action. Now, un¬ derstand, all of this happening was in the Antis convention, up in the court room of the court house. The convention of Proa was in ses sion the same day and hour in the same bouse in tho grand jury room below. Said convention appointed a committee of three to confer with the Antis with a like proposition to the one I submitted to them, which vvts met in like manner, refusing them a hearing. Cipt. It. J. Powell, au outsider,ad dressed the chair in sacb an eloquent pathetic, true Democratic style, ask ing for leave of five minutes talk The chairman submitted his proposi tion to tbe convention, which tic. readily assented to.

Now, I unable to see why I was a!ieoated same proposition by the oonven and so much courtesy extended Powell. r Any way, they precipitately and dexterity hurried into tho nom nation with a stacked hand of only one idea in their heads, and nominal ed John E.
