Griffin,
— —
(iriffln is the liveliest, pluckiest, most
gressive town in Georgia. This is no
bolical description, as the record of the
live years will show.
During that time it has built and put
most successful operation a $100,000
actory and is now building another
nearly twice the capital. It lias put up
a ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer
tory, an immense ice and bottling works,
sash and blind factory, a broom
opened np the finest granite quarry in
Ui.ited State®,. and has many other
prises in .outemptation. It has
another ail road ninety miles long, and
ocateu on the greatest system in the
the Central, has secured connection with
important rival, the East Tennsssee,
nd Georgia. It has just secured direct
pendent connection with Chattanooga
the W< st, and has the President of a
railroad residing here and
to its ultimate completion.
U five white and three
oharches, it is now building a $10,000
Presbyterian church. It has increased
population by nearly one fifth. It has
truc'.r ’Vound its borders fruit growers
neuriy every Ntate in the Union, until it
now surrounded on nearly every side by
chards an 1 vineyards. It is the liome of
grape an ; its wine making capacity
doubled every year, it’ has
inaugurated a system of public schools,
a seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the record of a half
uud simply shows the progress of an
admirable city, with the natural advantages
of having the finest climate, summer
winter, in the world.
Griffin is the county seat of

a healthy, fertile and ru ling country,

will have at a low estimate between 6.000
7,o00 people, and they are all of the
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
welcome strangers and anxious to secure
sirable settlers, wbowill not be any less
corae if they bring money to help build up
the tow n. There is about only one thing we
need badly ju6t now, and that is a big hotel.
We have several small ones, but their accom¬
modations are entirely too limited for our
business, pleasure arid 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 pfiitical battle
ground of the Republic.
Jeffersonian Democracy, pure and simple,
is good enough to■ the Stak. 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 and years of Republican w stefulness
For these corruption four and despotism to the South.
years past it has bcennnswcrv
ing Cleveland. in its fidelity the administration of Grov¬
er It is for him now—for Cleve-
land and Thurman—for four years more of
Democratic horesty in onr national affairs,
and of continued national tranqnility and
prosperity. For
he Stab people wholike that sort of Democracy
is the paper to read.
The Stab stands squarely on the National
Democratic platform. It believes that any
tribute exacted from the people in e cess 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 lockinf millions an
nunlly from the people and them up
in vaults to serve no purpose but invite waste
fulness and dis :c -e .ty, 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 Stab is a great
newspaper. Its tone is i are and wholesome,
its news service unexceptionable. E. eh issue
presents an epitome of what is be.i 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 Stab is as good as the best
class magazine, and prints about the day’s the same
amount of matter. Besides news
it 13 rich in spesial descriptive articles, sto
ries,snatches criticism, of current Burdette’s literature, inimatible reviews, hu¬
art etc.
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 arc represented in its col
uinns,
The Weekly Stab is a large >rld paper giving with
the cream of the news the w over,
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 The
Weekly Stab than from any other paper
It will be especially alert during the cam
paign, and will print the freshest and most

tVmiuth of a Uvlug Room.
The needs common to all women arc
•o common that few regard their impor¬
tance. To say that warm rooms are
essential to health and beauty sounds like
a well truism, but the fact is that among all
to do classes it is the rarest thing to
find a really warm house. A heated
bouse, burning up coal and vitality to¬
gether, is common, but not one so
cool soundly built that rooms do not readily
off, and where comfort is felt with
moderate heat, or where draughts do not
tow rheumatic twinges, with wrinkles to
match. Out of doors dress and exercise
keep up the natural heat. Indoors the
quieter life and shutting off the greater
part of the sun’s rays render the case
all different^ occupied The constant should temperature be of
keep the blood rooms at Its normal enough heat to

lower by night. Instead, when steam is
up, or the furnace burns np, you will
find the glass at 85 degs. on the north
wall of rooms. Two hours or less after
the heat goes down the thin walls lose
their heat immediately, and it is 45 degs.
in the same place. I describe what I
have noted repeatedly In houses where
comfort was supposed to be the first con¬
sideration.
Such variations are enough to try the
Strongest frames. To say nothing of
neuralgia and lung troubles, it is impos¬
sible to keep a good complexion through
such ruinous changes of temperature.
The heat dries it into fine wrinkles, the
cold semis the blood inward, leaving the
face blue and features pinched. Let the
husband who wishes to keep his wife in
freshness be careful that she has warm
rooms to live in. The injm, to the cir¬
culation which destroys all bloom and
elasticity strikes deeper in time, causing
failure of the heart or chronic inflam¬
mations. As you value bloom and long
life, never permit yourself to bo chilly
for five minutes. No matter what ther¬
mometers say, if you are out of order
enough to feel chilly the thing to do Is
to raise the heat till the blood absorbs
heat and grows warm again. For heat
is life, and the chilly precepts of certain
hygienists who seem to consider comfort
as a crime have cost unsuspected victims.

More Text and Fearer i’ictuves.
The illustrations of a magazine form
one of the largest items of the expense of
its production; the elimination of this
expense would enable the proprietors
either to diminish the price of subscrip¬
tions, or to augment the payments to
authors, or both; and either would be a
benefit to literature. Again, under the
present system, a large portion of the
articles are written mainly to serve as a
vehicle for the illustrations; without the
illustrations, they would not be worth
printing; consequently, if there were no
illustrations, the articles would not bo
written, and their place would be sup¬
plied by articles that were worth print¬
ing—another gain to literature, and a
gain both in quality and space. Indeed,
a well illustrated article is very seldom
read at all. The purcliaser of the maga¬
zine looks at the pictures, and perhaps
examines so much of the text as may en¬
able him to form some idea of what the
picture represents; he says to himself
that he will read the article some other
day, and before that day comes the next
issue of the magazine has appeared, and
the same thing is repeated. Were there
no pictures, there would be an end of
this.—Julian Hawthorne in Belford’s
Magazine.
Plague of Rats in China.
A plague of rats is reported in t recent
number of The Pekin Gazette, which re¬
calls the German legend of the rats of
Hamelin. Certain postal routes have had
to bo changed in Outer Mongolia on ac¬
count of the honeycombing of the whole
country by myriads of rats, who have
bun-owed and eaten up the pasturage so
extensively that the supply of food for
camels and horses is greatly diminia d,
and the burrows are dangerous to all
mounted travelers and couriers. Tho
prize offered by the Australian government
for a riddance of the rabbits which infest
that country may afford a suggestion to
the authorities in China to offer induce¬
ments whjch M. Pasteur or some un¬
known Whittington may find advan¬
tageous enough to undertake the task of
ridding the country of tliece vermin.
China and the Chinese have been afflicted
enough of late, what with earthquakes,
floods, restricted immigration, etc.—

A Marvel in Steel.
There are 150,000 mile3 of railway in
tho United States; 300,000 miles of rails
—in length enough to make twelve steel
girdles for the earths circumference.
This enormous length of rail is wonder¬
ful—we do not really grasp its signifi¬
cance. But the rail itself, the little sec¬
tion of steel, is an engineering feat. The
change of its form from the curious and
clumsy iron pear head of thirty years
ago to the present refined section of steel
is a scientific development. It lias now a
beam whose every dimension and curve
and angle are exactly suited to the tre¬
mendous work it lias to do. The loads it
carries are enormous, the blows it re¬
ceives are heavy and constant, but it car¬
ries the loads and bear*, the blows and
does its duty. The locomotive and the
modem passenger and freight cars little are
great achievements, and so is the
rail which carries them all.—John Bo-
