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.

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.

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.

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. 2roup County Matters.
