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.

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.

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. The following is a full list of those present: Miss Fina Hopkins with Jas.
