Griffin , 6 r«.
Griffin is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬
gressive town in Georgia. 1 his is no liyper-
bidieiil description, as the record of the last
s Ur., years will show.
During that time it baa built and put into
must successful operation a $1(56,000 cotton
actory and is now building another with
nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up a
1 if ge i ron and brass foundry, a fertilizer f ac-
tui y, an immense ice and bottling works, a
sssil aud blind factory, a broom factory
opened up the finest granite quarry in the
bulled State*, and has many other enter¬
prises in ontemplatiou. It has secured
another. .olroad ninety miles long, and while
ocateu on the greatest system in the South,
the Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Teunsssee, Virginia
aud Georgia. Ithasjust secured direct inde¬
pendent commotion with Chattanooga and
tha VVi st, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and -working
its ultimate completion. With
ta live white and three colored
churches, it is now building a $10,000 new
Presbyterian ohuroh. It has increased its
population by nearly one-fifth. It has at-
‘ tim ed :i i mind Its borders fruit growers from
nearly every Btate in the Union, until it is
now surrooaded on nearly every side by or¬
chards an 1 vineyards. It is the home of the
grape and Ita wine making capacity has
doubled every year. It haa successfully
inaugurated a system of public sohools, with
a seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the record 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.
Gridin is the county seat of Spalding
county, situated in west Middle Georgia, with
a healthy, fertile and ro .mg oountry, 1150
feet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it
will have at a low estimate between 6,000 and
7,MW people, and they are all of the right
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
welcome strangers and anxious to secure de¬
sirable settlers, who will not be any less wel¬
come if they bring money to help buildup
the town. There is about only one thing we
need badly just now, and.that is a big hotel.
We have several small ones, but their accom¬
modations are entirely too limited for our
busineis, pleasure and health seeking guests.
If you see anybody that wants a good loca¬
tion for a hotel in the South, just mention

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 political battle
ground Jeffersonian of the Democracy, Republic.
pure aud simple,
is good enough for the Stak. 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-wholike that sort of Democracy
the Stab is the paper to read. -
The Star 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 bnt 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 the Stau is a great
newspaper. Its tone is i ore 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 Stau is as good as the best
class magazine, and prints about the Sanaa
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 liu-
morsparkles in its columns; Will Carleton’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
nmns.
The Weekly Stak is a large paper giving
the cream of the news tliew irld over, with
special features which make it the mos
complete family newspaper published. The
farmer, the mechanic, the business man too
much occupied to read a daily paper, will
get more for Jiis dollar invested in The
Weekly Stab that, from any other paper
It will be especially alert during the cam
paign, and will print the freshest and most
reliable political news.

In as small a county as Spalding, this list
speaks well for the heaUhfulaesa of tiie sec¬
tion. Here are seventy-two good citizens
all over si sty-nine years old and therefore
practically within the lines of the psalmist’s
three score and ten allotment of life. Many
of them are even “Jackson Democrats,” hav¬
ing cast their votes for that heroic leader
of the party.
A Desperate Man.
“Papa,” said a palo but oeautiful
girl, “I refused Mr. Sampson last night,
and as he started to go he said:
“Miss Miflinton, your refusal has
made me desperate; all the colors of my
life have changed; look m the papers to¬
morrow morning;" and, with a groan.be
was gone. Oh, papa, see what dreadful
thing lias happened."
“Was his first name Gejrge?“ asked
the old man, scanning the paper.
‘Yes, papa“
has “ll-m—Ueorge Sampson. Yes, he
been sent np for ten diys."

The Central’s Progress
General E, P. Alexander, president
of the Central system, in an interview
with a Savannah News reporter said
that his road had several important
plans to develope, but it was yet too
early to talk about them. The Central
is certainly gridironing a large portion of
the South, either by purchase or con
srtuctions, and on the completion of its
projection lines will have a great mile
age an l valuable loritury.

by concurrent testimony in affirming, that
if you will use twice or tbriee a day Hostet-
ter’s Stomach Bitters, an enabling medicine
of long ascertained purity and tonic virtues,
that you will be materially aided. It pro¬

THE LAWN PARTY.
The 0. 0 Club Does Itself Very
Proud.
’TL whispered on the terrace high,
Ti* whispered on the lower,
Tis whispered where the shadows lie
Inside the pavilion door.
’Tis whispered when the loving swams
Have reached the pasture bars,
’Ha whispered in the scented la»ir
Beneath the silent stars.
When night descends on grove and gtada,
And flowers arc gemmed with dew.
’Tis whispered in the trees’ dark shade
And on the piazzas, too.
Will often at the garden gate,
Where lovers bill and coo,
’Tis whispered when the hour is late
And when ‘tis early too.
Do tak6 away!” lenry, please,
your am
But those who heard generally no¬
ticed that Henry didn’t.
And pray why should he? It was
a lovely night and a night for lovers;
a trifle light, but Col. Boyd’s three
acre lawn affords many secluded
spots among the trees.
The beauty and chivalry of Grffin
was there, with many accessions from
other points. The grounds were
large, but the O. O. Club spread it¬
self and covered the ground very
fully. It captured and captivated
the town.
The lawn party of Friday night
was the largest affair of the kind
given in Griffin for several years, and
one of the most enjoyable. Col. J.
D. Boyds’ lawn was first illuminated
with Chinese lanterns, but they soon
paled beneath the light and charm of
such a moon as is only seen in a South
ern sky. Here the couples wander
ed about, or sought the house, where
every deor was threwu open, and
where a string band played for the
dancers and spectators. At a reason
able hour choice refreshments were
served on tables on the lawn and in
the house.
From the expert manner in which
the affair was conducted, the initials
of the club might seem to mean
“Old Ones,” but it is really the young
ones who are taking tbc swim away
from the older sets. The officers of
the club are: President, H. N. Smith;
Vice-President, Miss Pearl Dismuke;
Secretary, H. L. Scheuerman.
