Griffin, Ga.
Griffin is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬
gressive town in Georgia. This is no hyper¬
bolical description, as the record of the last
five years will show.
During that time it has built and put into
most successful operation a $100,000 cotton
factory and la now building another with
nearly twice the capital. It has put up a
Urge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac¬
tory, an immense ice and bottling works, a
aash and blind factory, a broom factory
opened np the finest granite qnarry in the
United State*, and has many other enter¬
prises in -outemplation. It has secured
another. ailroad ninety miles long, and while
looatcu on the greatest system in the South,
the Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennsssee, Virginia
and Georgia. It has just secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
the Wr st, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to its ultimate completion. With
its live white and three colored
charches, it is now building a $10,000 new
Presbyterian ohnroh. It has increased its
population by nearly one-fifth. It has at-
tracte I around its borders fruit growers from
nearly 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 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 reoord 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.
Griltln is the county seat of Spalding
county, situated in west M iddle Georgia, with
a healthy, fertile and r Jiiiig country, 1150
feet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it
will have at a low estimate between 6,000 and
7,oflOpeople, and they are all of the right
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
welcome strangers and anxious to secure de¬
sirable settlers, who will not he any less wel¬
come 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
business, 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, the political battle
ground Jeffersonian of the Republic.
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 Thurmau—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 Star Btands squarely on the National
Democratic platform. It believes that any
tribute exacted from the people in excess of
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 j lire and wholesome,
its news service unexceptionable. Each iesue
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 Star is as good as the best
olas3 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
delightful letters are of its choice offerings.

GEN- ALVIN P. HOVEY,
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR GOV¬
ERNOR OF INDIANA.
A Backslididg Free Trader Without
Any Particular Record or
Strength.
Special to Correspondence of News.
Indianapolis, Aug. 8.— The nomi
nation of Gen. Alvin P. Hovey for
Governor by the Republicans, will be
quite satisfactory to both Renubli
cans and Democrats. He is an ex-
Democrat office holder, whs, since
the war, has been a Republican, but
not much of a Republican until after
he was elected to Congress from the
Evansville district two years ago.
About the best tariff reform ('‘free
trade,” as the Republicans call it)
talk I ever heard was from GeD.
Hovey a’few years ago at his home at
Mt. Vernon, no was then known
among his neighbors and friends as “a
free trader,” and was iu full accord
wiih his son-in-law, non, Augustus
Menzies, a well known Democrat and
ardent revenue reformer.
Gen. novey has made no reccord
in Congress worth mentioning, ne
has devoted himself entirely to pile
on the taxes, build up the surplus,
and vote for each and every scheme
that would take niouey out of the
Treasury, ne has been wild on the
subject of pensions,favoring the most
extraordinary schemes in the way
of pension legislation. If his views
in this respect conld have been ad
opted, they would have bankrupted
the Government. Gen. Hovey will
doubtless receive the votes of all the
Republican soldiers in the State as
will as the votes of his party. He will
not, however,add any strength to the
ticket, as Governor Porter might
have done, and the soreness of nob
ertson's friends in the three north
eastern districts in the State, coming
right after Gresham,s defeat, will
work to the advantage of the Demo
crats.
Ira Chase, the candidate for Lien
tenant Governor, is a dandy. For a
“parson” he is “perfectly wreckless“
and goes in to win at any cost, ne
ran agaiDst Col Matson for cougress
two years ago, and was only beat
en by 500 votes.
On the whole, the ticket nomina
ted by the Republicans of Indiana to
day is a good ticket, That said, all
is said. Tickets cut no figure in the
fight this year: The issue is princi
pies, not men,

SUMMER SOCIETY.
Gossip About What is Going On in
Griffin Circles.
While the weather has been op
pressively warm most of the past
week, it has not altogether broken up
the little entertainments which so
successfully fill up the chinks in the
social intercouse of Griffiu. Ouo
of the first and most pleasant occas
ions of this kind since last writing
was a small supper given by Mrs.
M. E. Crittenden, on Crittenden
Avenue, Griffiu Bank Square, to
Miss Anita Brunson, of Anniston.
Ala., who is spending a few weeks
here. The guests were few in num
ber but thoroughly congenial, and
the refreshments delightful and ams
pie, while the delightful "companion
ship of the hostess’ fair and honor
ed guest lent a rare charm to the
evening.
# * «
The exertion of receiving seems
to be greatly less when confined to
the ladies themselves—though they
are probably more critical if seem
ingly less exacting than men—and
this may be the reason why there
Have been three ladies receptions tho
past week and only one general one.
Mrs. Jno. B. Mills gave one of these
exclusive affairs on Tuesday after
noon and Mrs Thos Nall followed
quickly with another on the same
evening.

Ou Wednesday afternoon Mrs T
R Mills gave one of her most in
imitabia entertainments in the same
line at her beautiful suburban home
‘‘Alary Villa.” Tho occasion in
every respect was one of perfect
saccess. Mrs Mills, assisted by Mrs
Geo Cope and Mrs Frank Holland,
entertained her friends in a most
charming manner. The guests upon
arriving were ushered into the parlor,
and after a few moments of picas
ant conversation were invited into
the dining-room to partake of ele
gant refreshments, consisting of the
most delicious salads,saudwiebs,ices,
and fruit. Then upon reentering
the parlor Mrs Holland presented in
her usual graceful manner the love
ly little favors that will always be
a happy reminiscence of a happy
•vent. Among those present were

Miss Doyle, of Boston, and a well
known Southern lady writing of

which were draperies of crentn,
flowered with pink roses and green
leaves. On her head she wore a hat
of white chip trimmed with roses.
After strolling through the corridors
of the hotel for a while sho disappear
ed only to reappear in a tennis suit
of cream and scarlet Jersey cloth,
broad silk sash and tennis cap of
scarlet. A little tennis and thon a
retirement from the scene. When
the luncheon bell resounded Miss
Doyle returned to the salon attired
in a simple white mail of exqaisite
texture, with tulle hat and white
parasol and fan. Later iu the after
noon I saw the girl, who is really a
handsome woman, strollling upon
the beach clad in a bathing suit of
black, with an elegant sash and vest
of Roman striped silk, stockings,
striped lengthwise, of tho same
shades, and a most bewitching little
cap set jauntily upon her golden
head. Purely she did not go
the surf with the lovely sash?
think I hear you say. Oh, no,
only strolled up and down the
sands for tho effect of the thing.
Very few go in bathing, as
surf is not good. Well, she then
camo into the dining room later on
in a lovely white silk mull,
ly ti immod in pink and blue ribbons
hat to match, and blue slippers
ing roguishly out from beneath
frills of her skirls. I saw her
more until eleven o’clock supper,
and then she looked magnificently
lovely in a pale blue decoliette
with sweeping traiu and
of diamonds, Tnese were only a
of her many costumes.”
* * «
One of Griffin’s society belles was
asked why she remained in the city
all summer, “Because,” she replied,
“I can find no place so cool, I
off twice, but returned h»me
ing that there was no place like our
own delightfnl city.” This is
rue. While the weather has been
oppressive for the past lew
there is never a time that there
a fresh breeze somewhere to be
found, and people only go off to the
resorts because it is the fashion
do so. There is no absolute
for it.
