r eCriFfin VOLUME 17 Griffin , 6r.a. Griffin is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬ gressive town in Georgia. This is no hyper- bolical description, as the record of the last five years will show. During that time it has built and put into most successful operation a $100,000 cotton actory and is iiqw building another with nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up a urge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac¬ tory , an immense ice and bottling works, a sash and blind factory, a broom factory opened op the finest granite quarry in the Uuited States, and has many other enter¬ prises in ion temptation. It has secured another. ailroad ninety miles long, and while ocatcci on the greatest system in the South, the Central, has secured connection with its important rival, theEast Tennsssee, Virginia nd Georgia. It has just secured 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 ts five white and three colored churches, it is now building a $10,CO new Presbyterian church. It has increased its population by nearly one-fiftli. It has at- trnefe around its borders fruit growers from neaiI) every State in the Union, until it is now surrontided on nearly every side by or¬ chards an 1 vineyards. It is the home of the grape an-t 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 decade uml 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 scat of Spalding county, situated in west Middle Georgia, with a healthy, fertile ami r iling country, 1150 feet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it will have at a low' estimate betwoon 6,000 and 7,IKK) people, and they ore all of the right sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to weleome strangers and anxious to secure de¬ sirable settlers, who will not be any loss wel¬ come if they bring money <o help build up tlia 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 the place where the Gbifi'in News is published—daily and weekly—the nest newspaper in the Empire State of the Georgia, Please enclose stamps in sending for sample copies. This brief sketch will answer July 1st, 1838. By January 1st, 1889, it will have to he changed to keep up with the times. n 0FESSI0NAL DIRECTORY HEADQUARTERS Protective Leak's Collecting and Agency of Georgia. UltlFFIN, ------- GEORGIA. S. G.

HARRIS, D, p„ President, sumo, V# * SCHOOL IN ALGIERS. Tlie Intellect!!!)} Training of Yean* Ar»bj Is Very Limited—A Noisy Set. On the other sido of tho central public square is a school, a small Babel of sixty boys or more. The intellectual training of children is very limited, and causes but little anxiety to parents, who teach them in early childhood to repeat, ‘‘I tes¬ tify that Mohammed is God's apostle ," and to hate Christians. The remainder of their education consists in the acquire¬ ment of a few rudimentary rules of arith¬ metic and the practice of committing to memory as much of the Koran as possi¬ ble. Let ft be understood that we are re¬ ferring to the purely Arab schools, and not to others where French influence is gaining ground; one of tho largest build¬ ings In Algiers Is tho Lyceum, where about COO Christians, Jews and Mohammedans are educated together. The old professor of the school on the publio square has as¬ sistants of different ages for the younger boys, so that there is a continual running stream of big and little voices, each try¬ ing to outcry the other; higher and more shrill they yell as they take in a fresh breath and repeat what they know at such a rate that it seems impossible that any one should distinguish one syllable from another. In fact, during my stay I often asked my young factotum of the day what was being recited; his only answer was a sig¬ nificant shrug of the shoulders—“Jo sais lah-—Illah pas, mossou—connais pas ca, moi,” Al¬ - Allah - Achbah - Mohammed- wally-golly-jolly-holly, of voice, repeated at the top your and at lightning speed, a thousand times a minute if you can. will give you, my reader, a faint idea of what one cf tho youngsters is saying; then multiply by the number engaged in this noisy method of committing the Ko¬ ran to memory, and you may get still nearer the effect. Children are made to recite in as loud a voice as possible, in order to strengthen their lungs—a re¬ quirement especially necessary for a muezzin, who calls to prayer from the top of tlie minaret Those who are to follow a trade are sometimes taught writing and a little useful arithmetic. To vary the monotony of those recita¬ tions at school, tho lad is occasionally taken across tbo knees of the old teacher, who sits tailor fashion, holds the offender by the ankles, and administers blows with a rod on the soles of hi3 feet—a mild form of bastinado. The pupil’s stationery and books at the Arab school do not cost his parents a great amount A slate, so called, but made of hard wood, is tlie medium of knowledge. The surface becomes as smooth as glass by repeated application of fine pipe clay, which is moistened with water and rubbed on with tho fingers. When tho lad has filled his slate on both sides with dictations from the Koran, written in ink with a reed pen, and has committed its contents to memory, ha washes it and renews the coating of clay. A mistake is easily corrected with the wet finger. Tho Arab boy has all the mischief of any other school boy, and as he must break, chew, crack, nick and mend something, his slate ends by being a kind of one horse shay put together again with glue, nails and bits of tin and brass, cross beams and comers; the marvelous clay fills up all tho chinks. On the wall hangs a large blackboard; on the floor matting lie burnooses and shoes, but no primers, grammars, geog¬ raphies or other ink stained accessories which strew the benches and desks of our schools. Groups of dear little black eyed boys from 3 to 5 years old, other groups of different classes, youths of 17, 18, all wearing their red tarbouches with big blue tassels, jackets and burnooses of all. shades and colors, enlivened by streaks and spots of sunlight sifted through the intricate designs of the windows and stained glass, make a charming kaleido¬ scope. All around is the plain white¬ washed wainscoting, considerably soiled and stained by the backs, hands and heads that lean against it; and above are exquisite arabesques in stucco—for the interior, though the somewhat dilapidated, hand, and is untouched by restorer’s re¬ mains one of the very finest examples of Moorish art. Tho building was a small mosque, the ornamented and painted wooden ceiling of which, almost in ruins, is supported by arches and onyx columns. —F. A. Bridgman in Harpers Monthly. Power of "Guarantee Companies.” “Tho guarantor companies wield an enormous power. For instance, we bond every man m the Gould system, of rail¬ roads. We had to look up the record of every one of them. Our investigation is very searching as to a man’s record and habits. We will not bond one who can be called a drinking man. It isn’t a question of total abstinence, but if a man is known to get under the influence of liquor he is too bad a risk for us. If he has stolen in one place we will not bond Kim in another. Once a thief, always a thief is our principle, and though it seems a little severe we cannot escape it. The weeding out process was carried on with vigor, and a man whom we wouldn’t bond had to go. It was a great respon¬ sibility, and sometimes no doubt we made mistakes. A man’s personal ene¬ and mies would sometimes traduco him deceive us. When we found that such an injustice had been done we bestirred ourselves in earnest, and you can be sure that the injured man got a place on the road at least as good as the one he had lost. Through this investigation the per¬ centage of stealing has been greatly re¬ duced.”—New York Mftil and Express. Admiral Hornby says that England would require at least ISO cruisers to protect her merchant vessels from the enemy’s cruisers, and that she has but fartv-two. BLAINE’S MOUTH.
