Griffin,
Gridin U the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro
greseive 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 operatiou a 1100,000
actory and is now building another
nearly twice the capital. It has
a 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
United State®, and has many other
prises in xmtemplatiou. It has
another ailroftd ninety miles long, and
ocatca on the greatest system in the
the Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennsssee, Virginia
nd Georgia, It has just secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
the Wi st, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing her# and working
to its ultimate completion. With
ts five white and three colored
churches, it is now building a $10,000 new
Presbyterian ehnroh. It has increased its
population by nearly one fifth. It has at.
true.-, d ...ound its borders fruit growers from
nearly every State in the Union, until it is
now surrounded on nearly every side by or¬
chards an J vineyards. It is the home of the
rape and its wine making capacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully
inaugurated a system of publicsohools, with
a seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the record of a half decade
mid 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 Geo r gia, with
a healthy, fertile and railing country, 1150
feet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it
will have at a low estimate between 6,000 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.
jirable settlers, who will not be any less wel¬
come if they bring money to help build up
the town. There Is about only one thing we
need badly jnst 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 seekiug guests.
If you see anybody that wants a good loca¬
tion for a hotel in the South, just meution
Griffin.
Griffin is the place where the Gbiffin
News is published—daily and weekly—the
Dost newspaper in the Empire State of the
Georgia. Please enclose stamps iu sending

This brief sketch will answer July 1st,

PERFECT FOOD.
Perfect food is tliat which, while prepared in the most
appetizing form, is also the most wholesome and nutritious.
It should never be necessary to sacrifice the wholesomeness
of an article in order to make it more palatable, nor, as is
too often the case, should we be compelled to take our
bread or cake bereft of its most appetizing qualities in
order to avoid injury to our digestive organs.
The Royal Baking Powder possesses a peculiar quality,
not possessed by any other leavening agent, that applies
directly to this subject. It provides bread, biscuit, cake,
muffins, or rolls, which may be eaten when hot without
inconvenience by persons of the most delicate digestive
organs. With most persons it is necessary that bread raised
with yeast should lose its freshness or become stale before
it can be eaten with safety. Distressing results likewise
follow from eating biscuit, cake, pastry, etc., raised by the
cheap, inferior baking powders that contain lime, alum,
phosphates, or other adulterants. The hot roll and muffin
and the delicious hot griddle cakes raised by the Royal
Baking Powder are as wholesome *and digestible as warm
soup, meat, or any other food.
A qualification which makes the Royal Baking Powder
inestimable as a leavening agent,

A GREAT NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC

its years past ithasbeenunswerv
iug in fidelity the administration of Grov¬
er Cleveland. It is for him now—for Cleve¬
land and Tlmrman—for four years more of
Democratic honesty in v
our national affairs,
and of continued national tranquility and
prosperity. For people who like
thatsort of Democracy
he Stab is the paper to read.
The stab stands Bquarcly on the National
Democratic platform. It believes that any
tribute exacted from the people in excess 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 millions an
nually from the people and locking them up
in vaults to serve no purpose but invite waste
fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬
strous crime against the right of American
citizenship. Republican political jugglers
may call it ‘'protective taxation;" the Star’s
name for it is robbery.
Through and through the Stab is a great
newspaper. Its tone is l nre and wholesome,
its news service unexceptionable. Each issue
presents an epitome of what is best worth
knowing of the world's history of yesterday.
Its stories Edglish, are and told in good, interesting quick, pictur- read¬

I logs Trained for Smuggling.
On the Belgian frontier smuggling
with the aid of trained dogs Is said to bo
a flourishing business. Cigars, ani¬
and laces constitute the trade. The
mals receive a special training for tbeii
profession. The practice consists in
traveling from one placo in Belgium to
another in France and vice versa, avoid¬
ing the high roads and tlie revenue men.
Tiie latter they are taught by bitter ex¬
perience to avoid, for tlio smugglers who
train them keep a good supply of uni¬
forms of i-evenuo officers on hand. These
uniforms are donned by confederates
whom the dogs have never seen, and
these fellows beat and stone the dogs un¬
mercifully. The result is that tho dogs
run whenever they see a genuine officer.
When tho dog is started off on his jour¬
ney with bis load tho smuggler sets out
for the same place, but he takes tho di¬
rect route, or travels boldly by rail, car¬
ing, of course, nothing for any
tion of Lis baggago.
There was a famous dog of this
in Maubcuge. He made the fortune
his master by carrying laces across
French frontier. His natural color
white, but ho wore all sorts of disguises.
Sometimes ho was black .sometimes
and sometimes lie was a mighty thick,
shaggy fellow. He was called
(Malin), and ho was well worthy of
name. A price was put upon his head,
and all sorts of traps and
were prepared for him. It is said
once be crossed the frontier disguised
an innocent sheep dog, travelling with
flock of sheep. His death was
tragic. Cute died in harness like a
He was chased by the revenuo
and repeatedly fired upon. In
ming across the Escaut he was
wounded; nut he managed to reach
shore, where ho died. Laces valued
15,000 franc# were found in his
ble overcoat. —Home Journal.
Tlio Brazilian Empire’s Progress.
The illness of tlio Brazilian emperor re¬
calls what he has done, and

manufactories, all together having

which alone have 40,000 spindles. They
make yearly 83,000,000 of yards of

Pedro was in a struggle which sorts

chinery and tools and ideas, and
lived long enough to know that he
triumphed. The crowning result is

Remedy for Apple Tree Rorer*.
The entomologist of the Ohio
ment station advises one and the
remedy for both the round headed and
headed borers and bark lice that so
juriously affect the tranks of apple trees.
The remedy is a wash made by mixing
quart of soft soap, or one pound of
soap with two gallons of boiling
water and then adding a pint of
carbolic acid. This mixture should be
plied late in May and again three
later with a scrub brush to the trunk
larger branches of the tree. If tlie
is rough It ought to be scraped tho before bark
wash is applied. No cracks in
the base of tho trunk where the
can enter should be missed in the a; -a
