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 county, situated in west Middle Georgia, a healthy, fertile and ru ling country, feet above sen letch By the census of 1890, 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 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 reliable political news.

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 degs. of 98 without any chilling or change— *ay 75 to 78 degs. by day and 15 degs. 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. —Shirley Dare. 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.— Demorest’s Monthly. 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- por t S \fflgflTinP.

NEW YORK POLITICS. THE INEVITABLE FIGHT IN YORK CITY Ssfween Tammar.y and County ocracy-Will Bring Out the Vote—Hill’s Strength for Governor. Special to the Daily News.

Without any il pressure had been bivught to fjom the White House, the two fac tions might have been Induced to their differences and present an un brokenfront to the enmy.
