Griffin, Ga.
Griffin is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬
gressive town in Georgia. This is no hyper¬
bolical description, as the record of the last
live years will show.
During that time it has built and put into
most successful operation a $100,000 cottou
aotory and Is now building another with
nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up n
a ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac¬
tory, an immense ice and bottling works, a
swh and blind factory, a broom faotory
opened op the finest granite quarry in the
Uuited State®, and has many other enter¬
prises in ;ontemptation, it has secured
another . allroad ninety miles long, and while
ocatca on the greatest system in the Sonth,
the Central, has secured connection Vir^nla witta its
important rival, the East Tennsssee,
nd Georgia. It has just secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
ths Wi st, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to its ultimate completion. With
ta five white and three colored
ohurchos, it is now building a $10,000 new
Presbyterian ohuroli. It has increased its
population by nearly one-fifth. It has at-
t racted around its borders fruit growers from
nearly every State in the Union, until it is
now surrounded on nearly every side by or¬
chards and vineyards. It is the home of the
rape and ita wine making capacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully
Inaugurated a system of public schools, with
u 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 haying the finest climate, summer and
winter, in the world.
Griffin is the county seat of Spalding
county, situated in wc3t Middle Georgia, with
a healthy, fertile and r dling 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 nre all of the right
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
weleome strangers and anxious to secure de¬
sirable 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 just 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 seeking guests.
If you see auybody that wants a good loca¬
tion for a hotel in the South, just mention
Griffin. Gbiffin

AN ALLIANCE MEETING.
Col. L, F, Livingston Delivers an Able
Address to tlje Farmers,
A huge number of Spalding conn
t>’s citizens were in the city y»ster
day to attend a called meeiing of
the Farmer’s Alliance. About 10
o’clock a. m. they assembled in the
courthouse, where it had been an¬
nounced the meeting would take
place. The meeting was called to
order by President D. II. Ponder.
Col. L. F. Livingston, of Covington,
was introduced to the audience, and
delivered an eloquent address. His
speech from beginning to end was a
severe condemnation of Trusts and
everything that proved oppressive to
the farmers. Especially did he al¬
lude to Trusts. He said that they
were the farmer’s bitter enemies and
hesitated not to crush them when a
favorable opportunity presented it¬
self. He fully explained the mean¬
ing of Trusts in an impressive man
ner and no one who listened to his
discourse failed to receive a thor-
ough knowledge of their real mean¬
ing. He stated that the object of
the Alliance was not to fight the
merchant or anybody else, but the
farmers wanted fair play and were
going to have it. That the farmers
wanted a division of the profits and
as they were entitled to it were go¬
ing to contend for it, and that this
was one of the objects ot the Alli¬
ance. He told the farmers that if
they thought the Alliance would be
of no benefit to them, and if they
did not intend to take the proper in¬
terest in it that they should, for them
to go to their homes and have noth
ing further to do with it. On the
contrary, if they found that it would
prove beneficial lo them, to use every
effort in their power to improve and
hold up the organization. He warn
ed them particularly in regard to
their frequent complaints of mer¬
chants and lawyers using unfair
means towards them, to remember
that they themselves were not ficc
from fraud and some of the farmers
were just as bad.
The credit system he criticised se
verely and said that no farmer should
allow himself to be led into such a
trap if he could possibly avoid it.
The Alliance proposed to do away
with this system entirely and with
the co-operation of the farmers they
would succeed. As it now stands
the farmer gets but little of theprofits
enjoyed by the merchants. In ref¬
erence to diversified agriculture he
said that too much attention was paid
to cotton. Every one, he thought,
should have his little patches of pota
toes, sugar cane, etc., so that should
he be so unfortunate as to have a
mortgage on his cotton he would
have these to resort to. By these
means they would be independent of
all Trusts and avoid all future con¬
flict with them,
The farmers were ' too extrava
gant and bought many things that
were really not necessary and could
easily have done without. He hoped
to see the time when every farmer
would be able to wear a broad cloth
suit and own a fine carriage and hor
ses. But until that time did arrive
he hoped they would all live within
their means. In regard to the poli¬
tics of the organization he declared
that it was not a political organ, but
was opposed to unfriendly legisla¬
tion. Congress, he said, did not
look to tha benefit of the farmer and
Congressman Stewart would verify
this assertion. But they could ap¬
propriate thousands of dollars for im
provement of river navigation when
it was simply a big haul out of the
farmer’s pockets.
Therefore it behooves the farmers
to vote for honest men and men who
will promise to look to the farmer’s
interests, and pay less attention to
the interest of Democracy. He said
that it was a fact that corporations
had forced Congress to take the tax¬
es off of express, banking, etc., and
why could not the farmers combine
and make them come to their lertfis?
In conclusion the speaker stated
that the Alliance, perhaps, might
die, but would be succeeded by a
similar^orgamzation just as grand
and noble and would surmount all
difficulties and come out with ban¬
ners flying. To do this the farmers
tnu»t make any reasonable sacrifice to
further the interes’s of the Alliance.
After the conclusion of Col. Liv¬
ingston’s speech the meeting adjourn
ed until the afternoon, when they
hold « private session.

UNCLE CHARLEY HAMMOND,
A No’ed Figure In tho AnnaU c>f Itil
Locality,
Charles Hammond was born at
Cherokee Ponds, Edgefield district,
South Carotins, July 10, 1793. His
grandfather emigrated to South Car
olina long before the Revolution,
wh3n the father of the subject of this
sketch was about seven years old.
The father of Charles Hammond,
Capt, Joshua Hammond, was a Cap
tain dnring the war .of the Revolu*
tion, and a man of sterling character
w*bo lived to the ripe old age of 113,
and the mother of Charles Hammond
lived to be 80 years old.
Uncle Charley was a soldier in the
war of 1812, in Col. John Catter’s
regiment, Capt. Cheatham's com pa*
ny, and has been for years a pension¬
er of the government.
In the year 1826 he moved to the
then new country of Georgia, set¬
tling in Monroe county, nejr Hign
Falls. Next year he moved to Butts
county, where he resided until 1849,
when he moved to Henry county,
now Spalding.
Mr. Hammond was twice married,
first to Miss Miome Martin, of Jack
son county, Georgia, by whom he
had three children; second, to Miss
Nancy Jesfer, of Edgefield district,
S. C., by whom he had ten children
—eleven in all, lived to be grown.
Mr. Hammond was a Henry Clay
Whig before the war; a Secession¬
ist in 1860 and at all times a patriot.
He furnished five sons to the Confed
erate army, and had 19 negroes freed
by the new order of things. One
son, Charles C. Hammond, died
from wounds received in the seven
days battles around Richmond in
1863.
Hammond is an honorable uarne
Abner Hammond, unoie of Charles
Hammond, was at one time Secreta-
ry of State for Georgia, while an¬
other uncle, Col. Sam Hammond,
was an old soldier of tde Revolu¬
tion, a member of Congress from
Georgia, and subsequently Gover¬
nor of tho Territory of Louisiana.
Uncle Charley was a fine type of
the old timo yeomanry of the South
—not highly educated nor brilliant
but a brave, honest man, true to his
convictions, his friends and his coun
ry. It was his kind that wrung
from King John of England the Mag
na charta which has been the bulwark
of American as well as|Eng]ish lib¬
erty .
1 ocle Charley was the oldest man
in the county, having reached the
green old age of 95 at the time of
bis death on the 13th inst.
Another link that bound us to the
past is broken, and time moves on,
bringing old age and death to all of
us. May the Angels of Mercy be with
Uncle Charley beyond the grave,guid
ing b s erring footsteps aright to the
throne of Father, Sor and Holy
Ghost. W.J. K.
