I Griffin is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro-
< 1 gressive town in Georgia. This is no hjper-
boHcal description, as the record of the last
flye year? will show.
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
sashaud blind factory, a broom .factory
opened up the finest granite quarry in the
Duited States, and has many other enter¬
prises in :on temptation. It has secured
another . ail road ninety miles long, and while
ooateci on the greatest system in the South,
the Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennsssee, Virginia
gad Georgia, It has just secured direct inde¬
pendent connection witli Chattanooga and
the West, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to its ultimate completion. With
t« livo white and three colored
ehurches, it is now building a $10,000 new
Presbyterian church. It lia3 increased its
population by nearly one fifth. It has at¬
tract 1 around its borders fruit growers from
nearly every State in the Union, until it is
now surrounded on nearly every side by or¬
chards and 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 rcoord of a half decade
aiid 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 west Middle Geo r gia, 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
7,000 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 he nny 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.
\V« have several small ones, but their accom¬
modations are entirely too limited for our
business, pleasure and health seeking guests.

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 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 ithasbeennnswerv
ing in its fidelity the administration of Grov¬
er Cleveland, It is for him now—for Cleve¬
land and Thnrman —for four years more of
Democratic honesty in onr national affairs,
and of continued national tranqnility and
prosperity. For
people who like that sort of Democracy
lie Stab is the paper to read.
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 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 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 Star is a great
newspaper. Its tone 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 Sunday Star 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 current literature, reviews,
art criticism, etc. Burdette’s inimatible hu¬
mor sparkles 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 Stab is a large paper giving
the cream of the news tbew >rld over, with
special features which make it the mos
complete family newspaper published. The
fanner, the mechanic, the business man too
much occupied to read a daily paper, will
get more for ,his dollar invested in The
Weekly Stab than from any other paper
It will be especially alert during the cam
paign, and will print the freshest and most
reliable political news.

HYDROPHOBIA and fright.
iiuathr Attributed to the Former Really
Caused by the letter.
The principal event In the convention
oi the Slate Medical association was the
discussion over the existence of hydro¬
phobia. Tlie debate was interesting and
valuable, and while there was a great
difference of opinion on certain points,
all agreed that the public were unneces¬
sarily scared over hydrophobia; that
even alleged cases were of great rarity,
and that in the majority of casco in
which death resulted from a- dog’s bite
hydrophobia ill was not the cause of death,
the popular symptoms of hydropho¬
bia west shown to be common to many
forms of convulsions tetanic and convul¬
sions resulting from hysteria.
Dr. 0. W. Dulles, who had been ap¬
pointed by the sepiety to Investigate hy¬
drophobia, read his report for the year.
Pasteur’s methods he said, were not at¬
tracting the same attention they id a
year or so ago, ai*d are in a fair way 60 to

cases the previous year, he said, where
he had formerly treated 800 a month.

creasing the mortality of those who fall
into terror over hydrophobia. Pasteur

specified several cases, one being the case
of a man who dreamed he died of hydro¬
phobia, and on awakening was taken
with convulsions through fright and
died.
“The fear is wors* than 'the bite,” said
Dr. Dulles, “for not one of the animals
In the cases mentioned gave evidence
that they had the rabies. The living in
dread of death from hydrophobia is often
the cause of death. Too often the diag¬
nosis of the case is made by the laity and
confirmed by the doctor. There is noth¬
ing more senseless, more cruel, more cal¬
culated to cause death than the senseless
test of water.” Dr. Bulles spoke of the
exaggeration of forwble restraint sup¬
posed to bo necessary in hydrophobia
cases, and denounced the use of narcot¬
ics. “Hydrophobia Is a misnomer,” he
said, "and is not & specific inoculable
disease. I do not deny people fall into a
certain state after brfng tkat bitten by a mad
dog, but I do deny the state is pro¬

Dr. Shakspeare, of this city, dissented
from the opinions of Dr. Dulles, and said
he spoke only from the standpoint of and a

A COMMITTEEMAN’S VIEWS.
A STORY OF GOOD CHEER IN IN-
- DIANA.
Indications Most Favorable to Dem¬
ocracy—Hoovey is Not a
Strong Candidate.
Idianapolisj Sept, 3.—(Special )—
The story the members of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee united
in telling at headquarters this after
noon was one of good cheer. The
deep interest that is being taken in
the work was evidenced in the attend
anceofthe full committee, thirteen
in all. The meeting continued from
2 p. m, till 5 o’clock, and again this
evening a supplementary session w?s
held. The business transacted relat
ed in chief to the formulations of
plans for campaign work. Other met*
ings will be held from time to time
upon call of Chairman Jewett.
A pretty fair reflection of the polit
ical tendency of the State was obtain
ed from interviews with the various
commiteemen.
Mr Ed Richardson, of the First
district, thinks the indications are
most favorable to the Democracy.
Frank Posey, who has been nomina
ted by the Republicans lor Congress,
will be defeated by Judge Barrett by
from 1,200 to 1,300 majority. He
predicts that the Democrats will elect
Congressman in every district, except
the Sixth and Nintn. He does not
believe that Hovey will be a strong
candidate, and says that in the First
district his vote will be at least 5C3
below the number be received for
Congress* - “His Republicanism,”
Mr Richardson continued, “has never
been very strongly asserted, and it
was only by avoiding an open party
canvass that be was elected. He
made no speeches, but rode over the
district attending Grand Army meet
ings, and personally visited a great
many people. He can’t conduct a
State campaign in that way, and I
do not believe that he will be a very
strong candidate.”
Concerning the Republican lie
about the early poll forecasting Dem
ocratic defeat, Mr. Richardson said it
was the sheerest nonsense, and he
added: “There is a great deal of
nonsense about this p®ll-taking. It
is absolutely impossible to obtain a
poll of the entire State that will
show accurately how the vote stands.
There is alwajs a great deal of talk
about the poll; but the election re
turns show that the information thus
obtained was not at all leliable. I
venture to s»v that there are not
fifty counties in Indiana new that
have been polled. The general drift
of a campaign is a much better indica
tion of the result than any poll. In
1884 our people were very much dis
couraged and felt that somehow every
thing was going for Blaine. The Re
publicans, too, were very confident:
but about ten days before the election
there was a change. Democrats felt
it without being able to account for
it. Ins tny opinion that if Indianapo
Iis, Evansville, Fort Wayne and Ter
re Haute give the Democrats an ag
gregate n sjority of 25,000 they are
sure to carry the State. Fort Wayne
alone, I figare, ought to give 3,500.”
The members of the committee from
other districts give equally as favor
able reports and are cautiously but
positively sanguine in regard to Dem
ocratic prospects iifthispivotal State.

THE SINGING AT TIRZUi.
A Good Crowd and Fine Exercises «n
Sunday Last.
The singing that takes place annu
ally at Tirzah, a Baptist ohurch near
Sunny Side, proved quite a success
notwithsanding the inclemency of
the weather. At about 8 o’clock a.
m. the services were opened with
prayer by William Griffin. A. Ogle
tree was appointed to sonduct the
exercises oi the first lesson. This he
did in a graceful style and won many
compliments from his appreciative
audience. Messrs. Walters, Davis,
Kendall and Williamson, were also
selected as leaders. Each one proved
himself a master of song and acquitted
himself accordingly. After singing a
few songs a recess of ten minutes and
a new leader would be selected. The
young members of the audience did
not fail to take advantage of the in
termission. They found thisaconven
lent opportunity to speak to their
sweethearts and from the many be
witching smiles exchanged between
them surely some hearts must have
gono away heavily burdened with
love.
A recess of one hour was given for
dinner at 12 o’clock. And such a
dinner! Surely the eyes of man never
gazed upon more tempting morsels
than were spread before the eyes of
the large crowd who were in attend
ance. It was estimated thaf there
were about 500 people present. For
tunately there was an ample supply
of food on band and no one failed to
get their share. After the expiration
of the recess the services were re¬
sumed. The afternoon exercises
proved as interesting as those of the
morning and everyone seemed to be
enjoying themselves to their heart’s
content.
A revere shower of rain fell in the
morning and the crowd were forced
to stay inside the church. A light
shower fell in the afternoon, but
about 4 o’clock it ceased and the
benediction was pronounced and the
crowd dismissed. Every one left
with tba knowledge of having spent a
most pleasant day.
Tlic many remarkable cures Hood's Bars

that it does possess peculiar curative pow
