TI|eCfiFFin 'i Daily News. VOLUME 17 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 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 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.

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 Without a woman in it,” Concord. Ang. 10th, 1888. fl. W. W, REDUCED RATES! griffin to have the rates she 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. ' 4* A Pleasing Prospect in Meriwether and Troop Flat Shoai.s, Ga., Aug. 15.— We are needing rain. Two lovely youDg ladies from For syth, the Misses Lawson, are spend ing vacation with their grandparents, Mr and Mrs G W Head, at Flat Shoals, to the delight of their many friends. J E Nott, of McDonough, spent two days at the Shoals and returned this evening to McDonough. H B Neal has returned after spend ing a^conple of weeks roving from place to post. 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 if it was September or October, While I was in MonDtville I was invited to participate in the reunion of the 4th Georgia Regiment and the 13th Georgia, 35th Georgia. 41st Motts’Apple Vinega Just received lib!

" 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 at another. Guilty. State vs. RobertChutin. Burglary, Guilty, recomended to mercy. State vs. Elbert McGower. Mur¬ der. 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 tor general is conducting the case for the State and Col. Thurman for the defence. 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 er exhibited one hundred and twenty va rieties of prodacts raised by himself.
