Griffin, Ga.
-t-
G tiffin is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro-
gussive town in Georgia. This is no hyper¬
bolical description, as the record of the last
live years will show.
During that time it has built and put into
most successful operation a $100,000 cotton
actory and is now building another with
nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up a
! a go iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac¬
tory, an immense ice and bottling works, a
sash and blind factory, a broom factory
opened np the finest granite quarry in the
United State®, and has many other enter¬
prises in .ontemplatiou. It has secured
another railroad ninety miles long, and while
locateu on the greatest system In.the South,
the Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia. Ithasjnst secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
Dm VVt st, auJ has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to its ultimate completion. With
U live 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-
ti :i••'<■ 1 a-nund its borders fruit growers from
nearly every State in the Union, until it is
bow 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.
Tliis is part of the record of a half decade
a nd simply shows the progress of an already
admirable city, with the natural advantages
o( having the finest climate, summer and
«inter, in tue world.
GrifUn is the county seat of Spalding
county, situated in west Middle Georgia, with
a healthy, fertile and roi’ing country, 1150
fe.'-.t above sea level. By the census of 1890, it
will have at a low estimate between 6,000 and
7,"OJ people, and they nre all of the right
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
welcome strangers and anxious to secure de-
•>irable settlers, who will not be any less wel¬
come if they bring money to help buildup
tlie town. There is about only one thing we
need badly jnst now, and that is a big hotel.
We havo several small ones, but their accom¬
modations are entirely too limited for our
business, pleasure and health seekinggnests.
If you see anybody tii it wants a good loca¬
tion for n hotel in the South, just mention
Griffin.

GRIFFIN GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 17 J888
PROTECT OUR BREAD.
The machinery of the law cannot be put at work too
Rpeedily or too vigorously against the wholesale adultera¬
tion of the things we eat. Both the health and the pockets
of the people demand protection.
There is no article of food in general use more wickedly
adulterated than the lower grades of baking powder.
These baking powders contain either lime, which,
introduced into the system in too free quantities, causes
serious disorders of the kidneys; alum, a corrosive poison,
or lime phosphates and sulphates, which are condemned by
physicians as deleterious in their effect when taken under
certain physical conditions.
For raising bread, biscuit or other food only the very
best and purest baking powder should be employed.
The absolute purity of the Royal Baking Powder
makes it pre-eminently the most useful and wholesome
leavening agent known. Containing no lime, alum, phos¬
phate or other impurity, it leaves no alkaline # acid resi¬
duum in the food, and its use insures pure, light and sweet
bread, biscuit and cake, that are perfectly digestible and
wholesome whether hot or cold, fresh or stale. Its leaven¬
ing power has been determined the highest whenever tested
by official authority, and all chemists and writers on food
hygiene commend it for its sterling qualities.
The sale of adulterated baking powders has been pro¬
hibited by statute in several localities. It will be in the
interests of the public health when their sale is made a
misdemeanor every where, and the penalties of the law are
rigidly enforced.

THE OLD METHODS.
THE REPUBLICANS WORKING THE
ANCIENT CAMPAIGN RACKETS.
Falsehood In Truth’s Garb Arguing
With Labor Against Tariff
Reform
Washington, Aug. Hi. - (Special.)
—.Public Printer Benedict, who lias
returned from New York, says:
‘ New York will give her electoral
vote ior Cleveland and Thurman,
notwithstanding the stories now cir
culated to the contrary. Will Hill
be renominated? Of course ho wilt
and wbat is more he’ll be reelected.
The identical papers that oppose Gov.
Hill now and are try ing to defeat
him for the renomination mado the
same attempt in ’85 and signally fail
ed. This little Republican boom in
New \ r ork will fall to pieces after
Hill’s renomiualion. New York is
naturally a Democratic State and
will prove no exception in Novem
ber.
“The Tariff issue has been worked
by the Republicans since 1 In
all the campaigns, whether State or
National, the cry of the Republicans
has been ‘vote for protection, 1 but
some how or other the workingmen
have much good sense to believe
that.the Democratic party is opposed
fco^their welfare and advancement.”
Mr. Benedict said it was the Repub
licans who were circulating the stories
that Gov. Hill and the Administra
tion were working against one an
Other. There was no foundation,
whatever, for the reports that it would
be a knifing campaign.
A PATCH OF GRASS.
Over Twenty-Three Thousamd Pounds
Gathered From One Acre.
Macon Telegraph.
Io traveling over tho State it has
been a matter of surprise how little
attention is paid to the cultivation of
the grasses. Cotton stills holds sway
Even in North Georgia clover is neg
lected for cotton.
Not long since, while passing the
farm of Col. G. W. Munro at Put.
nam, on the Americas and Buena
V ista road, a patch of grass arrested
our attention. On inquiry, Co),
Munro informed us it was a pet
grass of his. It is an annual, and
has to be cultivated as cotton' But
Col. Munro lias gathered as much as
23,720 pounds from an acre in one
season. This grass grows from fonr
to eight feet Ligb.
Col. Munro so as in the fall, and
the seed germinate noxt spring, It
is carious, but it is necessary for
the seed to lay in the ground during
winter. The United States botanist
Dr. George Vasey. has given the eu
phonious name paritum prolifernm
geni calatnm, to this grass, but the
neighborscall it the Munro grass,
Col. Munro has been planting this
grass for twelve years, and will doubt
less exhibit the hay at the State
Fair.
An Ex>( liter Justice’s Opinion.
Judge O. A. Lochraue, of Georgia,
in a letter to Dr. Diggers, states that
he never sutlers himself to be without a
bottle of Dr. Diggers’ Hncklebery Cor
dial for the relief of all bowel trouble.

THE LAST CON FI I).
He Returns From the War to Ills Geor¬
gia Home.
Macon Telegraph.
Mr. Miles Kennedy, the last of the
Confederates, has at last reached his
old home in Sumter county, and
was welcomed in Americas yesterday
in a royal manner.
In the Telegraph of the 10th in
slant appeared the announcement of
his presence in Macon the day be
ioro. He was then on his way to
Sumter couutv for the first time since
he shouldered his gun in 18(51 and
went to tho war. Ho was wounded
near Richmond during the dying
days of the Confederacy and was laid
np for some timo after Lee’s sarren
der at a farm house six miles from
Richmond, and there tenderly nurs
ed until fully recovered by the
dangh’er of the uuu at whose house
he was staying. The war being over
and being solely without means, he
marr ed the girl and wont to farming.
Ou the fourth day of last April he
hitched up his faithful and only steer
to his wagon and with his wife and
ten children and $8 ia mcoey, all be
possessed, turned the steer’s head
toward old Georgia. His travel was
necessarily slow and it was often
that Mr. Kennedy had to stop on his
way and work for money with which
to purchase food for bis steer and
family. The children kept healthy
all the way, only one of them befog
at all sick, but the steer at one time
was taken down and for a time there
were gloomy prospects for the old
soldier and his brood. Finally the
steer got well, and on the 9th mutant
the entire party reached Macon.
By means of the Telegraph the
Americus people were advised of his
his coming, and yesterday he arriv
ed, havfog mado the distance from
Macon to Americas, 71 miles, in six
days-
Onr Americas correspondent thus
relates his reception;
Ameiucus, August 15.—Miles Ken
nedy reached Americas this morning.
He was met some distance out by a
delegation of cititizens, headed by
the Americus brass band, and escort
ed to the court house square, where
the citizens had turned out en masse
to teceivo him. It will be remember
ed that Mr. Kennedy is the “return
ing Confederate soldier,’ ^who pass
ed through Macon one week ago
bound for his home in Sumter coun
ty, with his wife and ten children, car
ryfog his earthly possessions in «
wagon drawn by a solitary ox.
As tated above he arrived this morn
fog. Professor Van Riper was on
hat i and photographed the family
bes. Is the ox and wagon. Colonel
A. S, Cutts then formally welcomed
him homo in the presence of 1,000
people-
In the crowd was his sister, Mrs,
M. M, Hart. The meeting between
them brought tears to many eyes.
By slight effort about $100 in
money and provisions was soon rais
#d for him and his dependeut family,
In con versa ion will) your cerrespon

The Stab stands paper squarely the National
