VOLUME 17
Griffin,
Oriftin is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬
gressive town in Georgia. This is no hyper¬
bolical description, as the record of the last
grt> years will show.
During that time it has built and pnt into
most successful operation a #100,000 cotton
factory and Is now building another with
nearly twice the capital.. It has pnt up a
l» : ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac¬
tory, an immense ice and bottling works, a
eesh and blind factory, a broom faotory
opened up the finest granite quarry in the
United State 8 , and has many other enter¬
prises in ;outemplatiou. It has secured
another. .ulroad ninety miles long, and while
located 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 W< st, and has the President of a fonrth
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 ohurch. It has increased its
population by nearly one-flfth. It bas at-
trarfe around its borders fruit growers from
nearly every State in the Union, until it is
now surrounded on nearly every side by or¬
chards a-.d vineyards. It is the home of the
grape ani its wine making capacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully
inaugurated a system of public schools, with
• seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the record of a half decade
mid simply shows the progress of an already
admirable city, with the natural advantages
of having the 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 r. Uing country, 1150
feet above sea level.* By the census of 1890, it
will have at a low estimate between 6,000 and
7,o<K) people, and they are all of the right
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
weleomestrangers and anxious to secure de¬
sirable settlers, who will not be any less wel¬
come if they bring money to help build np
the town. There is about only one thing we
need badly jast now, and that is a big hotel.
We have several small ones, but their accom¬
modations are entirely too limited for our
basiness, pleasure and health seeking guests.
If you sec anybody that wauts a good loca¬
tion for a hotel in the South, just mention
Griffin. Gbiffin

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 Democracy, Republic. and simple,
pure
is good enough for the Stau. 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 ithasbeenuuswerv
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
people wholike that sort of Democracy
the 8tab 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 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
fnlness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬
strous crime against the right of American
citizenship. Republican political jugglers
may call it ‘'protective taxatipu;” the Stab’s
name for it is robbery. Stau is great
Through and through tho a
newspaper. Its tone is j ure 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-
eqne Edglish, and mighty interesting read¬
ing they are.
The Sunday Stak 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, eto. 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 arc represented in its eol
mans, #
The Weekly Stau is a large paper giving
the cream of the news tbewwld over, wi,tk
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.

ADVERTISING THE SOUTH.
THE IMMIGRATION CAR ARRIVES
IN GRIFFIN.
It Will Leave Today For Newnan
What Alabama is Doing
in This Line.
Inducing immigrants to come to
the South, started by the News near
ly seven years ago, has at last become
the fad both in this State and Ala
bama, both of which states are about
to send special cars to the North for
the purpose of disseminating litera
ture and information. In Gerogia
this is done under the auspices of the
Central Railroad and State Agricul
tural Society; in Alabama it is very
properly done by the State.
The GeorgiTcar arrived bore at 7:20
o’clock last night, under the charge
of Commissioner W. L. Glessner, of
Ainericus, and will leave at 9:45 this
morning for Newnan, to be present
at the State convention of the Agri
cultural Society and the members
will bo given an opportunity to in¬
spect the car.
After the Newnan oonvention
Glessner and the car will return to
Macon and then go to. Americus,
where the bulk of tho exhibits from
throughout the State have been
ordered sent and the car will be
loaded, return to Macon, and then
set out on ihe western tour for the
inspection, delight, surprise and
wonderment of the people of the
boundless west as they are assem¬
bled attheir county fairs and state ex
positions. It is expected that Com-
missioner Glessner and the exhibit
car will reach Mafcon about the first
or second day of tho State Fair in
October next.
Ail western investors and would
be immigrants to Georgia will be
given low railway rates and all
tickets will be sold direct to Macon
and from this point the people will
be transported to any section of the
State desired, at one cent per mile.
Thi3 is a splendid scheme for adver
tising Georgia and the fair, popula
ting the State and making the ex
hibition a success.
A brief description oi the car may
not bo uninteresting: It is 50 feet
long, of the Central’s standard of con
struction. It is painted the Cen
tral’s standard color, Tuscan red. Tn
one end of the car is an office, lava-
tcry,berths and all the conveniences
of a home. In the other end are
portable shelves, three feet wide, for
the exhibits, and these shelves can
be connected with tables on which
to show the exhibits. There is also
an air tank for water to keep fresh
any of the exhibits desired. The
apartments of the car are complete
and convenient in every particular.
On one end of the car are painted
the words—“Georgia Agricultural
Society:” on the other end—
“Georgia Immigration Bureau.’’
On the middle panel on each side of
the car the words—“Georgia Exhi
bit” and the great seal of the State.
The seal is painted in oil on canvas
and the canvas fastened against the
side of ihe ear. The seal is a fine
piece of painting. It was done by
Mr. W. L. Kline, aged about seven
teen years,who is the talented son of
Col. T. D. Kline, ex-superintendent
of the Southwestern railroad and the
work reflects great credit upon his
superior artistic skill.
During the presence of the car
here this morning most of the exbib
its wil( be taken on for this point,
and all those who have anything
»aady should be on hand with tbeir e*
hibits. At the Same time, the car
goes back to Americas, and goods
may be shipped there until a week
from tomorrow. Let Griffin have a
good exhibit; and from what we have
seen she will have. But we can tell
IMm;
better after seeing everything placed
in the car today.
WHAT ALABAMA 19 DOING.
Hon. R. F. Kolb, commissioner of
agriculture and immigration of the
state of Alabama, left Montgomery
yesterday morning for a six weeks
trip through the northwest, where
he goes for the purpose of advertis
ing the advantages of field, forest,
water and climate of Georgia’s great
sister state. He will be accompan
ied by a party of about a dozen of
Alabama’s leading citizens from dif
ferent parts of the state.
The party will make their tour in
a passenger and dining car specially
provided for the trip, another car will
contain the various exhibits of miner
als, field products, manufactures,
soils, etc., from the different parts of
the state. The interior of this car
is divided into eight sections, each
made of Alabama pine and finished
in oil, making it exceedingly hand
some. Captain Kolb also takes with
him several thousand copies of that
handsome and valuable book, “Ala
bama As It Is,” which gives in its
BOO pages full and reliable informa
tiou as to tbc state, and also contains
tho very latest map of Alabama,
brought absolutely down to date.
