^Griffin VOLUME 17 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.

The most reliable Ic UtADGQ Compani in America, atig'-odly 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.

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.

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 dent, Mr. Kennedy stated that he grateful for the kind and enb manner in which he L-d been veil home; that the yearnings of Learnt for nil these years ha . bum * uihward, and now that has ic cbed home all he wants is fair chance ta work for a living.
