■ c- V )i \\MK J7 Griffin, Ga. Cri/Bn i' the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro- greksiro town in Georgia. This is no hyper¬ bolical description, as the record of the last Are years will show. During that time it has built anil put into most successful operation a $100,000 cotton notary and is now building another with r nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up a „ gv iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac¬ tory, an immense ice and bottling works, a gas h and blind factory, a broom faotory opened up the finest granite quarry in the United State", and has many other enter¬ prises in outemplation. It has secured another .nlroad ninety miles long, and while oeateu on the greatest system in the South, the Central, has secured connection with its important rival, the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia. It has just secured direct inde. pendent connection with Chattanooga and the Wt st, and has the President of a fourth railroad residing here and working to its ultimate completion. With ts live white and three colored ohurches, it is now building a $10,000 new Presbyterian church. It has increased its population by nearly one-fifth. It has at- tr i 'e,? around Its borders fruit growers from nearly every State in the Union, until it is now surrounded on nearly every side by or¬ chards an J vineyards. It is the home of the grape and 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. This is part of the record of a half dccad* ami simply shows the progress of an already admirable city, with the natural advantages of having the finest climate, summer and winter, in the world. Griffin is the county seat of Spalding county, situated in wpst Middle Georgia, with a healthy, fertile and rolling country, 1150 feet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it will have at a low estimate between 6,000 and 7,o()0 people, and they nre all of the right aort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to weleome 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 business, pleasure and health seeking guests. If you see anybody that wants a good loca¬ tion for a hotel in the South, just, mention Griffin. Griffin is tho place where the GaU'Fix News is published—daily and weekly—the east newspaper in the Empire State of the ( eorgia, I’lease enclose stamps in sending for sample copies. Tills brief sketch.will answer July 1st, 18tfc. By January 1st, 1889, it will have to be clumged to keep up with the times.

Is it a fact that the Royal is the only puro and wholesome baking powder made 2 There are three classes of these articles: The cheap powders which are made of alum and are concededly poisonous; the phosphate powders containing from 8 to 12 per cent, of lime, which is an ingredient of the phosphate used In them, anci inseparable from it; and the cream of tartar powders. The cream of tartar baking powders, to which class ^ the Royal belongs, to be pure must be made from abso- 1T lately pure materials. The ordinary cream of tartar of the market contains lime. The Royal Bakiug Powder is made from cream of tartar specially refined and prepared for its use by patent processes by which the lime is totally eliminated. There is no other process by*which cream of tartar can be freed from lime—made 100 per cent, pure—in quantities practical for commercial purposes. Other bak- ing powder makers, not being able to obtain these chem¬ ically pure goods (which are used exclusively in the Royal), are dependent upon the cream of tartar of the market, refined by the old-fashioned methods, by which it is im¬ possible to remove the lime and other impurities. These are the reasons why the Royal is absolutely pure, while other baking powders contain lime or alum. © The absolute purity of the Roydl Baking Powder not only renders it more perfectly wholesome, but its freedom from all extraneous substances makes it of higher leaven¬ ing strength and effectiveness.

The cloud illumination caused by tho electric lights of Detroit and YpeiJanti is occasionally so well defined in outline, as seen from the Ann Arb'.i observatory, that It occurred to the uirector to inau¬ gurate a series of altitude measurements for the purpose of determining tho heights of all forms of clouds visible at ] Ann Arbor after twilight. The central portion of Detroit is about thirty-fivo miles from tho observatory, while Ypsilanti is only fifty-eight miles distant. Tho azimuths of the two cities differ al>out 30 degs., so that tho condi¬ tions for determining tho heights of tho upper aud lower clouds can always bo nlade favorable when the atmosphere is sufficiently transparent,. When the clouds are very high, the Detroit illumination is so well defined that the probable error of a singlo measurement of an altitude is only a few minutes of arc.

THURMAN'S TOUR EAST. BE ACCORDED A GREAT WEL¬ COME IN NEW YORK- Campaign Committee Busy Send¬ ing Out Last Week’s Fine Dem¬ ocratic Documents Ntew York, Aug.

On he ordered printed several thousand copies of the pres message on tho fisheries ques ion- and a lucid exposition of the of the Mills bill, which was in the Commercial Advertiser Friday and Saturday. Today he getting ready lor the press Judge speech at Chicago, which considered the best speech of the up to date. The campaign is greatly pleased with Thurman’s recent oratorical top^ “tya will not run out of good material, while Mr. Thur is cn the stump,” said Col. Brice “We cannot distribute too of Ins speeches. He never a mistake. He is thoroughly accord with the democratic party, ins every utterance deserves to sent all over the country. The Roman is doing splendid work, the result of it justifies his nomi ior the vice presidency. Be¬ the St. Louis convention, it was against him that ho was too fu* office, that he might not sur¬ vive four years, and that, as a con¬ the presidency of the sen¬ would fail into the hands of the But he is in excellent health, as vigorous mentally as when' fought the railroads in the United senate, and he shotvs by his recent speeches that he is just the man whom the democrats should have nominated.

No one can doubt that the sturdy old anti monopolist’s speeches will have great influences with all classes, especially the workingmen.” The campaign committee has not yet made definite arrangements for Mr.Thurman's eastern tour. It is settled, however, that he wil] speak in New York on September 10. Af ter that it is expected that he will de liver speech* - in Buffalo, Rochester, and in some oilier places in the west ern part of the state. Then he wil! speak in New Jersey, in Boston, and, perhaps, in Maine. He has offered his services to the committee without reserve, and writes that the commit¬ tee cannot overwork him if it within reasonable bounds, ny Hall will take the lead in the Thurman demonstration next month.

Drrweyvii.lk, Ga., Ang. 30.— Cotton picking time is about on hand, and the people are glad, for money is scarce. The good people of this communi ty are fixing up the graves and cleaning off the graveyard. Last Monday being the day appointed for that purpose was a day well spent in hauling sand and rock to put around and over the graves. The good la¬ dies went and helped to dress the graves and to boss; and it was just like house work, they bossed it to their notions. On Friday last the colored people had baptising near this place. There were 21 baptized in 20 minutes. Who can beat that, and lead them iu and out, ono at a time, then stop to sing? Water melons and fruit having disappeared the loafers are eating uscadines.

W. Jackson. Death called upon her last Saturday morning, at about 10 o'clock, to leave this fair land of ours and take up an abode in a brighter world than this, where there is no ^weeping nor sorrowing, inside the golden gates. Her funeral was preached by bet astor, Mr, £. M. Hooten, Sunday evening at three o’clock. At four o’clock her remains were interred at he Uollonville cemetery, there to remain until the Lord shall come in his glory. All extend mr heartfelt sympathy to the hear' . ’ n family. A shocking occurr- i.i, happened near here a day or two ago, Mrs. Chas. Adams poured out a pan of boiling water to scald a chicken, and leaving the pan of water on the table, her little child just could reach the (op of the pan and pulled it over on it and scalded it to death. It died in a few hours. Interesting to Gum Clnwers. 4 “It is a fact," said a physiciau to a News reporter yesterday “that, girls who make a habit of chewing gum are sure to lose their plumpness acd pretty cheeks, as it develops the masse ter muscles that move the jaw to the detriment of the fatty sub stance that produces the plump cheeks. But this is not all. It is sure to stretch the mouth and spoil the raceful position of the lips, as well as produce wrinkles. The theory that it aids digestion is questionable, as constant chewing produces an overabundance of saliva when it is not needed, thus impairing the work of the glands and deterioating the digestive qualities of it when needed to assimilate food. The fla¬ voring in the gum, too, robs it of its digestive qualities. It is certainly very disgusting; bat I think it will soon play out, like the roller skating craze.” The many remarkable cures Hood’s Sara parillo accomplishes are sufficient proo that it does possess peculiar curative pow ers.
