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.

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 for sample copies.

NICHOLS, agent tux Northwestern Mutual Life surance Company, Of Mllwankee, Wis. The most reliable nrni ee Company in America, sng2Mly GRIFFIN GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 14 1888 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, THE STAR. A GREAT NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER. T.hk Star is the only New York newspaper possessing tional the fullest confidence of the Na¬ Administration and the United Dem¬ ocracy of New York, the political battle ground Jeffersonian of the Republic. is good enough Democracy, for the Star. pure and simple, ed among the metropolitan Single hand¬ stood by press, it has the men called by the great Democ¬ racy to redeem the government from twenty-five and years of Republican wastefulness For these corruption four and despotism to the South. 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¬ eqne mighty ing they are. good the best The Sunday Stab is as as class magazine, and prints about the same amount of matter.

HARRIS, D.FRrifclt. SMltO. 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 to be done, for hi3 empire. Twenty ago Brazil had nine insignificant manufactories, all together having spindles. There aro now in that forty-six such manufactories, five which alone have 40,000 spindles. They make yearly 83,000,000 of yards of ton goods. This is but one item, is paralleled in every direction. country has also progressed remarkably in tural production quite Argentine as a in manufactures. The lic in South America alone has kept with Brazil. Thirty years with ail ago Pedro was in a struggle which sorts conservatism and bigotry, progress. Ho persisted in importing ma¬ chinery and tools and ideas, and lived long enough to know that he triumphed. The crowning result is recent abolition of slavery.—Globe-Demo crat. 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 tion, as the sole object is to prv.a:.! laying of the eggs from which tho aro hate) * ' THE COEMOSWKJMII.
