Griffin,
Griffin is the liveliest, pluckiest, most
gressive town in Georgia. This is no
bolical description, ns the record of the
five years will show.
During that time it has built and put
most successful operation a $100,000
actory and is now building another
nearly tWiee the capital. It lias pnt up
u ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer
tory, an immense ice and bottling works,
sash and blind factory, a broom
opened up the finest granite quarry in
Uuited States, and has many other
prises in .ontemplation. It has
another . ailroad ninety miles long, and
oeuteu on the greatest system in the
the Central, has secured connection with
important rival, the East Tennessee,
nd Georgia. Ithasjust secured direct inde¬
pendent connection witli Chattanooga and
the West, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and
to its ultimate completion.
ts five white and three colored
churches, it is now building a $10,00 new
Presbyterian church. It lia3 increased its
population by nearly one fifth. It has
tnirb' 1 around its borders fruit growers from
nearly every State In the Union, until it is
now surrounded on nearly every side by or-
ilmrds r:, 1 vineyards. It is the home of the
grape ai. 1 its wine making capacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully
inaugurated a system of public schools, A ith
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 Cue world.
Griflin is the county seat of Spalding
county, situated in west Middle Georgia, with
a healthy, fertile and riling country, 1160
feet above sea level. By tbo census of 1890, it
will have at a low estimate between 6.C00 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 be any less wel¬
come if they bring money to liolp build up
the town. There is about only one thing we
need badly just now, and that is a big hotel.
W r e have several small ones, but their accom¬
modations are entirely too limited for our
business, pleasure am’, health seeking guests.
If you see anybody th it wants a good loca¬
tion for a hotel in the South, just mention

£U«*teF Artist and Camera.
"fco. I do »k>t think that amateur
tography is supplanting out door
ing,” said a well known Fulton
dealer in artists’ materials a few
since, in response to a question of a
porter.
“While I do not say that the
of that proposition is true, I do
for a fact that a larger number of
ing classes have gone into the
this summer than ever before, and, as
rule, these classes have had a*very
membership. It is a theory of mine,
which, I think, can bo roally
strated, that there is readily no
why tho sketch artist and the
photographer should not work in
harmony, and that tho -union will
greatly to the benefit erf both.
“I can give you an instance,” ho
on, “where tho camera has been of
told service to one of the artists cn a
known magazine. Formerly this artist,
of more tlian local renown, used
Bketch wholly from nature, but now,
when making a tour through England,
Scotland, or where he naay chance to bo,
ho always carries his camera along, and
when lie comes across n pretty bit
landscape, a ruined castle or
else lie wishes to preserve, he at once
takes a negative. Thus you see that in
a few weeks’ time he can take hundreds
of negatives, while months would be con¬
sumed on his tour if he were compelled
to sketch each view himself. When he
reaches home he throws the negatives
onto a piece of cardboard, touches them
up with India ink, then in seme way do-
composes tho silver on the plate, leaving
the India ink drawing in Its place. 1110
drawing is then photo-engraved and is
published in the magazine as a bona fide
sketch, while, in fact, it is purely a piece
of mechanical work.”—New York Mail
and Express.
now to Test a Mushroom.
The mycophagist selects from wood or
field a specimen of toadstool which by
its external appearance extends an invi¬
tation to try it, Hard, dry, leathery,
left fetid, slimy, or decomposing ones are
rigidly alone—as they should bo.
Carefully removing fho fungus from its
habitation, and after noting its botanical
characteristics, a small piece is tasted
raw; if it is nauseous, it is thrown away
and branded as non-edible; if it is hot
acrid, or hitter, a small pieco is cooked
without seasoning; if it retains any dis¬
agreeables qualities over the coals, it i*
branded in like manner; if it loses them
all, larger the pieces are cooked and eaten
until kind cither give#signs of nox¬
ious qualities or proves to bo harmless.
If the specimen is mild and pleasant to
tho taste (a small piece) both raw and.
cooked, tho same care is observed until a
full meal is eaten; ana it is very neces¬
sary that it should be; for in one family
of gill bearing toadstools—tho Amanitce
—no sign either cooked or raw is given
of its deadly properties. . This is the only
family to which deaths have been traced;
and the botanical characteristics of its
members must be thoroughly mastered.
There is no other method of testing that
is safe. Charms of salt and silver are as
Useless as tho romances of the fortune
teller, and even worse; for, if believed
in, they inspire a confidence that leads
directly to serious results.—Charles Mc-
Ilvaine in Lippincott’s Magazine.
l iauk Stockton's Literary Worts.
He said: “Yes, I write only my private
letters. I dictate all my literary work, and
that to a long hand amanuensis. I think
the mechanical jingle of the type writer
would disturb my thought; but I am looking
forward to the invention of the phonograph
and graphopihone, and hoping that I shall he
able to use them when they are perfected.
Then one could carry his machine with him
wherever lie went, and talk into it a chapiter
of a novel at his pleasure and send it off for
some one else to transcribe. I dictate about
1,000 words every morning, and I find that I
ean do my work easier and better by dictation.
Part of the time I sit while dictating, and
sometimes get up and walk up and down the
floor. I do not dictate continuously, and I
may rest for fifteen or twenty minutes be¬
tween certain sentences or paragraphs. I
compose, however, my whole work before I
begin to put it on pajier, and that even to
sentences and conversation."
I told Mr. Stockton that I could not under¬
stand how a man could thus carry a whole
novel in his head, and he smiled as ho an¬
swered: “I find my memory very good in
such matters, and after once composing a
novel or story in my mind I find it but little
changed from its first comp>osition when I
put it on paper. I do not revise to a great
extent, and my stories are usually sent off as
they are written. I often write tho last chapi¬
ter first, and of ‘The HundredthJMan’ I dic¬
tated first the Orst chapter and then the last
chapter, with Its conversations. I don’t see
how one could write a symmetrica] story
without ho was sure what the end would be
beforehand.—Frank G. Carpenter la Now

HOW GRIFFIN LEADS
THE COTTON MARKETS OF THE
WHOLE STATE.
Paying Higher Prices Than Any Oth¬
er Place in Georgia—The
Boldest Buyers.
The fact is rapidly forcing itself
upon the the public that Griffin is
fast taking pre-eminence in the com
mercial circles of tho State in more
ways than one.
Having spoken of other ways, we
speak particularly now of Griffin’s
importance as a cotton market.
There is no doubt but that, with
the waking of those energies which
had grown lethargic until other
places were beginning to draw away
trade, Griffin is regaining bor posi
tion as undenied mistress of the
trade of Middle Georgia.
Tbe Board of Trade buying gain
ed shipping rates that put us on a
par wilhJAtlanta, the cotton buyers
are doing their part by paying to the
producer even more than this advan
tage amounted to.
From the opening of t’ueseason up
to this time Griffin has paid tho high
est price for cotton of any inland
market in Georgia. While Atlanta
and Macon were paying 9 cents,
Barnesville 8£ cents, Hawkinsville 8£
cents and other markets about the
same, with Americus, however, brag
ging of paying 9i, Griffin has paid
and is now paying 9J cents.
The fact that Griffin is paying
more for cotton thfln any other place
in the Slate i3 uound to bring to our
warehouses thousands of baleB that
would go elsewhere, and our roceipts
aro obliged to be greater than for a
number of years past- It is well
known that Griffia cotton buyers al
ways pay higher prices than other
places-—in fact, they buy at an ad
vance almost the total receipts of sur
rounding towns—but not until now
have tehy recently had an opportuni
ty to 6how what-they could do under
circumstances when they could fair
ly compete with tbo whole State.
Tbe effect of such equal advantages
is seen to bo to tbrc .v all other cities
to the tail end of the procession.
Already people arc briuging their
cotton here, and others aro nnnounc
ing tLeiir intention to come, who
have not Lcen trading here for ten
years past,
Griffin's pluck and Griffin’s enter
prise aro fast p issing into a proverb
not only in tbe State but out of it - ,
and the News is prepared to say
that in baying cotton neither of
these qualities witl bo lacking dur
ing the present season.

He was followed by Jackson Me

fierce tirade against the white people.
He said that “the negroes were tak
ing up all their time fixing up to die
while tho white people wero preparing
to live.” He stated also that“thene
gro never got justice at the hands of
the white men.” He said he’d “be
dogged if they wasn’t the prettiest
people in the world if their hair is
short.” His speech from the begin
ning to the end was the signal for con
tinued bursts of laughter. He is a
very witty negro, but not at all cdu

After the conclusion of his speech
the convention adjourned after hearti

A chapter devoted to Dr. Hague's early im¬
pressions of that remarkable personage in our
American history, Aaron Burr, deserve#
more than a pawing notice. The family re¬
lationship to his accomplished ami brilliant
wife gave the schoolboy almost daily oppor¬
tunities for observing the charm of CoL
Burr's manner and conversation. Dr. Hague
enlarge# with enthusiasm upon the ease with
which that accomplished man put himself in
communication “with people of every class,
from the highest to the lowest, from the most
cultured to the rudest, old and young alike;
instinctively quick to adjust himself, as to
thought, tone and manner, to any personal
presen- whatsoever, confident in his ability
to -via responsive feeling, and realize the aim,
or > van tin; whim, that may have impelled
hi: at the time.’’

Will, I’m glad to soe yon. Have they left

“■oSregate of the impression which this fas¬

Newspapers,
It is unfortnnate that (!«. ignorance
of many people prevents them from
feeling the proper amonnt of appre
ciation for newspapers.
Men who are regarded as intetli
gent with reference to roost oUter
things are often those who have no
appreciation whatever for newspt
pers.
At the same time the newspaper i»
the roost powerful agency in bring
ing abont the progress and advance
ment of a community. They‘build
cities and by their aid enterprises
aro inaugurated aud it ia contended
that without the aid aud cooperation
of tbe local press, no undertaking in
which tbe public ia interested can be
made to succeed.
As a rule tbe newspapers cheer
fully lend their influence to every
worthy movement inaugurated in a
community, but there is no specie I
reason why they should do this grat
uitously, other that in a general way
every enterprise benefits a communi
ty and, by aiding every enterprise,
the newspapers thereby benefiH theta
selves in a general way. But they
are not benefited any more than the
banker, the lawyer, the merchant or
tbe shoemakor. Therefore, 00
moro should be expected of the news
papers without pay than from private
individuals, In the matter of selling
advertising space, the conscientious
publisher gives value received. He
is under no obligation to his subscri
burs to boost the enterprises of pri
vate citizens, or, for that matter, to
use any extraordinary exertion in
furthering the interest of tbe com
munity. When it gives the news its
mission as a newspaper has been fnl
filled.
It is, however, gratifying to the
fraternity < f true journalists to know
that not 01.0 would hesitate to each
fiice anything in reason for the good
of his secf qn and they find genuine
pleasure in devoting space to all
things loading towards tbe publie
good. It is important that the pub
lie should bear these things in mind
