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. Griffin is the place where the Gmffin News is published—daily and weekly—the nest newspaper in the Empire State of the Georgia, Please enclose stamps in sending for sample copies.

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. Many of the best known men and women in literature and art arc represented in its cql minis, The Weekly Star is a large paper the cream of the news the w >rld over, with special features which make it the complete family newspaper published. farmer, the mechanic, the business man much occupied to read a daily paper, will get more for 4 his dollar invested in Weekly Stab than from any other paper It will be especially alert during the paign, and will print the freshest and reliable political news.

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.

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 Mesdames llowell Horne, Geo. Me Call, Walter Beeks, Dr." DrCwry, John Mills, Dr. Daniel, Clark Brooks, James Brawner, Nannie Clark, Jim Mills, Cass Johnson, Irby lies, Henry Burr, W. H. Lyons, John Bishop, Tom Nall, Rebecca Rock¬ well, Henry Bishop, Dr. Tebault, Susan Bailey, Elizabeth • Mills, Dr. Mallory, Charles Mills and Misses Ilalliday and Mall. ry. * * Friday night the boarders at the Curtis House gave a large soiree to which most of the elite was invited. The house was handsomely decorated and illuminated and mine host and Ins guests played heir parts to per fection. * « * Mrs. W. J. Kincaid, who went to Alleghany Springs, Va., a couple of weeks ago, has left thero because of the crow 1 and gone to Yellow Sulphur, about ten miles distant, Jeff Davis ^od Alias Winnie and Mrs. Hayes are also sojourning r.l the Yellow Sulphur. * * * While the girls at home are trying to keep cool and waiting for autumn, the summer girls at the resorts are trying to keep coo! and keep an ac count of tho lovely toilettes display ed. AmoDg the most notable belles at Old Point Comfort this summer is Miss Doyle, of Boston, and a well known Southern lady writing of her, says> “I never saw such elabo rate toilettes in my life; for instance, in one day sho wore the following dresste: At an eleven o'clock break fast she made her appearance in a lovely moss green China silk, over Motts’Apple Vinegar! m Just received Bbl 8.

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. The Immigration Pamphlet. At a meeting of the committee lay morniug the final were made to get out tho pamphlet for distribution through missioner W. L. Glessuer.
