VOLUME 17 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 Griffin. Gafnirr Griffin is the place where the News is published—daily and weekly—the nest newspaper iri the Empire State of ihe Georgia. Please enclose stamp in sending for sample copies. This brief sketch will answer July 1st, 1888. By January 1 st, 1889, it will have to he changed to keep up with the times.

For he Stab people who like that sort of Democracy is the paper to read. The Stab stands squarely on the National Democratic platform.

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.

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.

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.

The Republicans of Spalding coun ty met in the court bouse yesterday at 11 o'clock a. rri., and proceeded to hold a convention. Rev. C. T. Ad ams was unanimously elected ebair man of the meeting, and N. E. Bian on, secretary. After some discussion in regard to the absence of the del egates from Fayette and Butts, tbe meeting proceeded to tbe regular oi dcr of business. It was moved and carried that tbe Republican party of this district make no nomination for senator. S. W. Easley, of the Atlan ta Herald, a colored organ, made a Speech to the convention and touch rd upon free trade as well as looal issues. lie made a very sensible speech. He was followed by Jackson Me Henry, of Atlanta. He began by a 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 cated. After the conclusion of his speech the convention adjourned after hearti ly endorsing Col. George S. Thomas for congress and Luke Evans for the legislature. A telegram was receiv ed from Thomas stating that legal business prevented him from attend ing. They Have Come.

Wiiy Aaron Harr PIea*ed. 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.’’ F >r illustration he describe# the entrance of the colonel into the parlor, once when he bed himself been left there for a moment alon ; "ids physique, air, style of movement, realize a boy's highest ideal of the soldier and tbe gentleman; while his keen and genial glance and sunny smile, expressive of a per¬ sonal interest as real as if I had been a sena¬ tor, awaken a feeling quickly responsive to the tone of cheer in his greeting; ‘Well, Will, I’m glad to soe yon. Have they left you here alonef ” Dr. Hague suras up the “■oSregate of the impression which this fas¬ cinating i.un made upon him as a boy, and says that Col.

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.
