Griffin, Ga.
Griffla is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬
gressive town in Georgia. This is no hyper¬
bolical description, as the record of the last
live years will show.
During that time it haa built and put into
most successful operation a $100,000 cotton
factory and is now building another with
nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up a
la ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac¬
tory, an immense ice and bottling works, a
gush and blind factory, a broom factory
opened up the finest granite quarry in the
U i.ited States, and has many other enter¬
prises iu .ontemplation. It has secured
another. uilroad ninety miles long, and while
located on the greatest system in the Sonth,
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 fourth
railroad residing here and working
to its ultimate completion. With
ts five white and three colored
churches, it is now building a $10,000 new
Presbyterian church. It has increased its
population by nearly one-fifth. It has at-
tra^'e 1 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 J its wine making capacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully
inaugurated a system of public schools, with
u 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.
Griffin is the county seat of Spalding
county, situated in west Middle Georgia, with
a healthy, fertile and n Jing country, 1150
feet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it
will have at a low estimate between 8,000 and
7,'JOO people, and they are all of the right
sort—wide-awake, 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 thing we
need badly jnst now, and that is a big hotel.
Wt have several small ones, but their accom¬
modations ore 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 Ghpfix
News is published—daily and weekly—the
nest newspaper in the Empire State of the
Georgia, Please enclose stamps in sending

This brief sketch will answer July 1st,

changed to keep up with the times.

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 p ditieal battle
ground of the Republic.
Jeffersonian Democracy, pure and simple,
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 our national affairs,
and of continued national tranqnility and
prosperity. For
people who like that sort of Democracy
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 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 tho Stab is a great
newspaper. Its tone is i urc 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.
The Sunday Stab is as good as the best
class magazine, and prints about the sam.
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 inimatible 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 are represented in its col
umns,
The Weekly Stab is a large paper giving
the cream of the news the w >rld over, with
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 t 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.

WOMAN IN TI1E ALLIANCE.
Her Assistance Necessary to Make the
Order Perfect.
Emtob News: —The*7th resolution of our
platform fully justifies the Alliance in admit¬
ting the ladies into the organization and by
a careful examination of the declaration of
purposes set forth in that resolution, I think
that they can not only be admitted, but it is
our duty to give them a pressing invitation
to assoriate with us, that they may not feel
any embarrassment when assistance is need¬
ed, and may become more fully acquainted
with the principles of the order, and share
iu the accomplishment of the great work
that it has undertaken.
The brightest jewels that it garners are the
tears of widows and orphans and its impera¬
tive commands are to visit homes where
lacerated hearts are bleeding, to alleviate the
suffering of a brother or sister, to bury the
dead, to care for the widows and educate the
orphans, to exercise charity towards offend¬
ers; to construe words and deeds in their
most favorable light, granting honesty ®f
purpose and good intention to others, and
to protect the principles of the Allianee unto
death. Its principles are reason and equity,
its cardinal doctrines inspire purity of
thought and life, and its intentions are peace
on earth and good will to ail mankind.
Now, the principles set forth are of a di¬
vine origin and it becomes our whole doty
to study them, and live up to their full meas¬
ure. It will be out of question for man to
accomplish this great work without the hear¬
ty co-operation of woman, the helpmate cre¬
ated for man, to share his joys and sorrows
and to elevate him to a higher order of civil¬
ization. There is nothing with which she
comes in contact that is not purified and re¬
fined by her, and the Alliance is the best
means that lias ever been introduced to the
famers of America for thorn to so complete¬
ly educate, train and cultivate that social re¬
lationship that should exist between them
as a class. This feature alone ought to com¬
mend itself to the laboring class and make
tlie order indispensable to them. Every
creature has a social spirit that must be cul¬
tivated to’make them useful and happy.
They are dependent one upon the other just
as the Creator designed them to be, and each
in turn must fill their position if they would
enjoy anything like peace and happiness in
this life. Social intercourse is the means or
motive power in elevating man to a higher
plane than the brutish disposition in which
ignorauce and vice always immerse him and
only those engaged in agricuituraljpursuita
can feel the great need of it, as the cares of
life fall heavily upon both sexes alike. The
limited time they have for the cultivation of
social habits makes it more important that
they should have a society where the best
heads of the most polished, refined and cul¬
tivated can meet and associate with each
other as a people of one common parentage.
By this means the great principles set forth
at the heading of this article may be fully
executed and vindicated.
It lias been said, “A man’s work is from
sun to sun, but a woman’s work is never
done,” aud there is a good deal more truth
than poetry in the assertton, This being
true, her lot must be wearry and monoto¬
nous, an J such as to disqualify her for the
important position intended for her to fill
when she was created a helpmate for man.
The Alliance will meet as often as neces¬
sary and in these meetings the ladies will
form new acquaintances, and the families of
the neighborhood will be brought together
in closer connection and sympathy than lias
ever heretofore existed, all of which will have
a tendency to break up the monotony of
farm life. This feature of the order com¬
mends itself to every one, and should have
the encouragement of all, both in and out of
the Alliance, so that tlie principles so essen¬
tial to the prosperity and happiness of an
oppressed people can be fully developed.
Once a month the farmers with their wives,
sons and daughters can meet without any
feelings of sectarianism, or party prejudice,
but as member* of one common family, bat-
ling for one common cans#—the improve
ment of the members of their order socially,
mentally, morally andjmancially, Woman
here realizes that her life is not wholly a life
of toil, but she is to fill a place in the econo¬
my of nature with a specific mission to per¬
form that none except those with tiie tender
ness and zeal of her nature can ever perform.
It is the duty of man to love, cherish, pro¬
tect and value her, for when educated and
esteemed as she ought to be she rises to dig¬
nity and distinction, and has a refining in¬
fluence that imparts softness to the tone of
man. when her rights are properly respected
our communities can exhibit a higher order
of civilization and rtfinement.
There are many other reasons why she
should enjoy the privileges of our order, but
for fear of trespassing upon your space and
taxing your patience I will close this article
by saying that tlie women are Admitted into
the Alliance in full fellowship with us, and
are entitled to hold any office from the high¬
est to tlie lowest. We do not charge them any
fees nor ask them to r dues, We love, ad¬
mire, respect and esteem them for their vir¬
tue, beauty, intelligence and amiableness
end want them with ns for the pleasure of
their company and tlicir power and influ¬
ence for good on society. It is said that
“'the hand that rocks the cradle sways the
world,” and
“They talk about woman's sphere
As though it had a limit.
There is not a place in earth or heaven,
There is not a task to mankind given,
There is not a blessing or a woe,
There is not a whisper yes or no,
There There is not a life, feathei’s or death, or birth, worth
is not a weight of

IS ENTITLED TO.
At Least as Good as Atlanta, and
Possibly Better-—An Ener¬
getic Griffir.ite-
On Tuesday a delegation from the
Griffin Board of Trade composed of
President J. D. Boyd, Secretary W.
H. Brewer and C. G. Mills and A. C.
Sorrell visited Atlanta to confer
with the railroad commission on im
portant matters.
The first of these was the rate on
cotton from here to Savannah, and
having succesBfallv proven that Gnf
fin m a competitive point the com
mittec feels assured that the case
was so pat that Griffin will at least
get Atlanta rates, which are 45
cents. Mr. Brewer thinks we may
do better than that, and places the
figures at 41 cents. The decision
of the commission will be made
known in a few days.
The attention of the Contral rail
road authorities present was called
to the fact that while Atlanta ODly
pays 20 cents for bagging from
Savannah, Griffin pays 32. They
professed to be surprised at this, but
on being confronted by their own
own books promised to rectify the
matter. The committee were also
assured by the Central that other
itemB should be looked after and
Griffiu given the rates she is en
titled to.
ill the advantages that we have
gained or are liable to gain in rates
are due to the building of the Ga.
Midland, and yet there are those
who purport to regard this road as
an unqualified evil.
A member of the committee was
loud in praise yesterday of Mr.
Brewer, the active secretary of the
Board of Trade, who is well posted
on rates and whose efficient man
agement of the case created a most
favorable impression. His services
at this juncture are proving of great
value to Griffin and should be ap
predated at their full worth. Noth
ing much is gained in this age with
out kicking for it, and Mr. Brewer
not only is not afraid to kick but
knows how to do it without hatting
himte f or his cause on the pricks.

Flat Shoai.s, Ga., Aug. 15.— We
are needing rain.
Two lovely youDg ladies from For

friends.
J E Nott, of McDonough, spent

H B Neal has returned after spend

There is a great deal of improve
ment of all kinds going on and pre
paring to be done, which shows the
spirit of the farmer, and they antici
pate a grand harvest this fall, such
as has not been in 20 years. For
they can hardly say they lack for
rain a day. So when yon find a man
and his crop is not good, his laud is
not good or it is from some neglect
of his own. I traveled from here to
Mountville, Troup county, aud I
never saw better corn crops nor bet
ter prospect for cottoD. It has
rained nearly every day for the last
six or eight days in the vieinity of
Mountville. The pea crop is the
most flattering where the speckled
pea was planted early. There is a
fine crop of dried ones now and they
are being gathered and baled up as

" Superior Court Proceedings,
The following business was trans¬
acted in tho Superior Court on Wed¬
nesday;
State vs. Joe Hodnett. Burglary.
Not guilty.
State vs. John Lewis. Shooting

State vs. RobertChutin. Burglary,
Guilty, recomended to mercy.
State vs. Elbert McGower. Mur¬

The last case is pending and will
probably last most of today. Our
readers will remember that it is the
case of one railroad hand alleged to
have murdered another on the Ga.
Midland road about four miles to¬
ward McDonongh, and where the
murderer fired the bushes to escape
detection, but the partially burned
body and clothing were found and
the latter are now in the conrt house.
Both parties are colored, The Solici

CHEAP HATES.
u Opportunity Offered the People of
the North to Visit Georgia.
The rate committee of tho Southern
Passenger Association has made tlie fol
lowing rates for the Georgia State Fair
to be hold at Macon October lOtlr to
20th:
One faro for ronnd trip from Cincin
nati, Louisville, Evansville and Cairo,
tickets good for fifteen days.
An effort is being made to have the
same rates extended over all the roads
north of the Ohio river which run into
Cincinnati, Louisville, Evansville and
Cairo, and it is expected that the effort
will prove successful.
After the excursionists reach Macon
and ;et through with the State Fair, an
opp iinnity will be given them to visit
the Expositions at Angusta and Colum
bus, and other points in the State,
the Central Railroad carrying them at
the rate of a cent a mile.
A visit to the State Fair will giv 3 the
excursionists a fair idea of the agricnltur
al and industrial resources of the State,
as eighteen counties, from different sec
tions of the State, will exhibit all the
productsof those counties. To give some
idea of the display tb u will be made by
these coun io, wo note the fact that at
a local fair held a few days ago one farm

children of a Sunday school on the tub
ject of temporanco. Ho is very

Rising before the school, he poiu!
to his bit of blue ribbon and said: “Now,

There was no reply for a moment;
