Griffin,
Grimn U the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬
gressive town in Georgia. This U no hyper¬
bolical description, as the record of the last
five years will Bhow.
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 put up a
a ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac¬
tory, an immense ice and bottling works, a
sasli and blind factory, a broom factory
opened up the finest granite qnarry in the
United State 0 , and has many other enter¬
prises in :on temptation. It has secured
another . ailroad ninety miles long, and while
ocntcu on the greatest Bystem in the South,
tho Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia, It has just scoured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
the West, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to its ultimate completion. With
tg live white and three colored
oharches.it is now building a $10,000 new
Presbyterian ohnroh. It has increased its
population by nearly one fifth. It has at-
trae'e 1 a round its borders fruit growers from
nearly every t tate in the Union, until it is
now surrounded on nearly every side by or¬
chards an 1 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 publio schools, with
a seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the record of a half decade
uud simply shows the progress of an already
admirable city, with the natnral advantages
of having the finest climate, summer and
winter, in the world. *
Griffin is the county seat of Spalditfg
county, situated in west Middle Georgia, with
a healthy, fertile and rolling country, 1150
feet above sea le^el. By the census of 1890, it
will have at a low estimate between 0,000 and
7,000 people, and they are all of the right,
soi l—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 build up
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

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 Republic.
Democracy, pure and simple,
is good enough for the Stab. 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—forCleve-
land and Thurman—for four years more of
Democratic hones ty in onr national affairs,
and of continued national tranquility and
prosperity. For
people who like that sort of Democracy
he Stab is the paper to road.
The Stab 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 cseantially 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 but 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 St Ait is a great
newspaper. Its toDC is i ure 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 8unda v Stab is as good as the best
class magazine, and prints about the same
amount of matter. Besides the day’s news
it is rich in spesial descriptive articles, sto
ries, snatches of cur Pent literature, reviews,
art criticism, etc. Burdette’s inimatible hu¬
mor sparkles in its columns; Will Carlcton’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 Stab is a large paper giving
the cream of the news the w 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 ,his dollar invested in Thk
Weekly Stab thau from any other paper
It will be especially alert during the cam
paign, and will print the freshest and most
reliable political news.

C0NKLING ON BLAINE.
A LIVELY DINNER CONYEKSATION
WITH LORD ROSCOE.
The Seeds of the Whirlwind That De¬
feated Mr. Blaine In IPs I’resi.
dentlal Aspirations.
New York, Sept. 1.—“Roscoe Conkling,
were he living, would, I believe, stump Ur*
State for Clcveland.and Thurman,” The
author of this startling assertion was Myron
Bangs, a well-kown citizen of Fnyeitesvilie,
this State, and a life-long and most intim¬
ate friend of Roscoe Doubling.
“I knew Mr. Conkling intimately,'’ he ad¬
ded. “He talked to me freely on political
subjects. I know he depised Mr. Blaine, and
that he entertained a high respect for Mr.
Cleveland. In (he summer of 1886, Mr.
Conkling one day invited me to a codfish
tongue dinner at John Chamberlain’s Carle-
ton Club. During the dinner our conversa¬
tion turned on politics. At laH Folgei’s
name was mentioned. Mr. Conkling’s eyes
flashed, his whole lorm seemed to dilate, and
with more passion in his voice than I had
ever before observed, be said: ‘The Folger
incident is one of the blackest pages of foul
treachery. James G. Blaine, in that cam¬
paign—of 18Sr—knifed the Republican party
because of a personal quarrel with President
Arthur. In that campaign, Blaine sowed
the seeds of the whirlwind that defeated him
in is: ’. Folger was one of the most upright
men that ever graced American politics. Ho
was, moreover, a very sensitive man. Blaine’s
treachery killed him. Mr. Blaine is as direct-
Jy responsible for the death of Folger as
though lie had run him through with a
knife.’
“Mr. Conkling here paused, overcome with
emotion. When he recovered himself, he
continued: ‘It is here generally believed that
I withheld my support from Mr. Blaine in
1884 for reasons of personal animosity. This
is nottiuc. Wlnitever my personal feelings
might have been, my loyalty to the Republi¬
can party would have caused me to support
my party, had I believed it to be for its best
interests. Mr. Biaine I knew to be a traitor
to bis party. I knew him to be a corrupt
man, the tool of rings, and that, if made
President, he would bo sure t* get tho coun¬
try in trouble. Consequently I could not ad¬
vise my friends to support him, ’
“I asked him his opinion of Cleveland, and
he said: ‘Mr. Cleveland is making an excel¬
lent Tresident. He is proving himself an
able, honest, fearless man. He seems to
place his idea of duty high above political ad¬
vantage, He will go down in history as one
of our great Presidents. His grasp of nation¬
al affairs suiprlses me. Had I not witness¬
ed it, I would not have believed that any man
whose practical knowledge of Government
was gained in a brief term; as Governor of
this State could so readily have mastered
the science of Government •
“Shortly after this conversation I went to
Washington in company with Mr. Conking
and Colonel and Mrs. Robert G. Ingersoll and
Judge Loclirane, of Georgia. While at the
capital, I called on the President in the com¬
pany of Judge Lochrane. la the course of
our conversation with Cleveland, I mention¬
ed to him that Mr. Conkling was in our par¬
ty. Mr. Cleveland expressed the highest
respect and admiration for Mr. Conkling,
remarking that Oneida and Onondago coun¬
ties, Mr. Conkling’s stronghold, had held the
balance of power m New York State in I88L
He signitiedjhis desire to fees Mr. -Conkling,
tnd requested me to bring him to the White
House. I tried to persuade him to pay the
desired visit, but in vain. He said: “If I
visitthe president people will say that I have
some favor to ask, some ax to grind. I do?
feated Blaine in 1884 and closed his politi¬
cal career, The president knows tbit. That
is all the satisfaction I ask.”

commissioner of immigration, of
Americas, whenco tbo car was built
and fitted up by the Georgia Central
railroad company for the use of th#
Bureau of Immigration, as st mcana__
of advertising the state of Georgia
and inducing emigrants to locate
there. It contains everything that
is raised there. The cotton exhibit

rious and no doubt interesting arti
clos, to the ladies, ia the inside of
the bonnet gourd. It is a pithy
substance, honey combed like
sponge, which is used for dish rags
by tho colored people. It is said to
be much bettor adapted to that par
pose than cloth. While tho car was
at Americos an old colored man pro
sented the commissioner a case of
tho liquids ho had collected and
among tho rest is a bottle of as fine
“mountain dew” whisky as was
manufactured in a moonshine still.
It is perfectly colorless and looks
more like alcohol than the whisky
sold around here. The display of
fruit is not large, but it embraces a
largo variety. Those who hate never
scoh any but the persimmons grown
iu this locality will bo surprised to
find tho Georgia articles as large as
a pomegranalo and resembling it
very much in appearance. If the
astringency ot one of tho Georgia
persimmons is to the Ohio article as
its size is to the former, no wonder
it ia the standard of disagreeable
