Augusta Evening Neva: "They think, now they have discovered the long lost Charlie Kjss in Atlanta. This chestnut will hardly prove as attractive drawing a card as the Gbantanqua.

The specimen of granite from the Griffin qaarries has been dressed to varying smooth* nesa on ita different sides and is ready for the immigration cat. The polished side is as smooth and handsome as the finest granite monument, and it is a prettypieceof stone any way you look at it.

Frank Kcnington, a boss superintending, the Gack l&yihgon the Central Raiiroadt thinks the saloons close too early in Griffin; and when Dock Isen prepared to close up at 12 o'clock on Tuesday night be said he wouldn’t go, and drew a pistol on Mr. Ison when the latter stepped ont to call the police. Yeeterday morning he was fined $2*2,50 for carrying concealed weapons. Stranger, make a mistake when they try to run Griffin; we have officers aud ordinances for that purpose, The interior cities of Southern and Middle Georgia, where suitable hotel accommoda Cons offer, will be filled with Northern visl tors next winter. The Florida points will be avoided to a great extent aud the more pleasant and healthful regions of Georgia will \>e songht as a refuge from the rigors of ths Norfcern climate. If Griffin had such a hotel asTliomasville or even Ft. Valley or Barnesville, it would be filled with delighted visitors fron December to March. What ac oommodatie ns we now have are taxed to their utmost capaoity, and t ran*lent guests fre¬ quently are mu able to find proper lodging- We have the biggest sort of an oportunity to become a popular resort if we would ctfly embrace It. — « ♦« ■ — Really Woodfrful, Yea.
