Griffin, Ga.
Griffin is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬
gressive town in Georgia. This is no hyper¬
bolical description, a3 the record of the last
five years will show..
During that time it ha3 built and put into
most successful operation a $100,000 cotton
aotory and is now building another with
nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up a
a ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac¬
tory, an immense ice and bottling works, a
sash and blind factory, a broom factory
opened up the finest granite quarry in the
United State*, and has many other enter¬
prises in ;ontemplation. It has secured
another ail road ninety miles long, and while
ocatea on the greatest system in the South,
the Central, has secured connection with ita
important rival, the East Tennsssee, Virginia
nd Georgia. It has just secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
the W< st, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to its ultimate completion. With
ts five white and three colored
churches, it is now building a $10,000 new
Presbyterian church. It has increased its
population by nearly one-fifth. It has at.
rae’od 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 an i ita wine making capacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully
inaugurated a system of public schooCs, with
a 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 having the finest climate, summer and
winter, in the world.
Griffin is the county seat of Spalding
county, situated in west Middle Georgia, with
a healthy, fertile and ro !iug 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 light
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
weleomcstrangers 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 onr
business, pleasure and health seeking guests.
If you see anybody that wants a good loca-
t ton for a hotel in the South, just meution

A Democratic Gain in the State of
Maine, the Home of Jim
Blaine.
New \ out:, Sopt. 15.—The follow
ing dispa.c!t has been received at Na
tional Democratic headquarters:
“Portland, Me., Sept. 14.—To Cal
vin S. Brice, Chairman: Dingley’s
paper, Lewistown Journal, claims to
have returns from the whole State,
showing Republican plurality of 18,
495, or 1,250 less than in 1884. Re
publicans increased their vote 904;
Democrats 2,154, making straight
Democratic vote 085 larger than ever
before cast. Total Republican vote,
79,603.
M. Briggs, Secretary.”
Hon. John I. Hall,
The Jonesboro Democrat pays the
following deserved tribute to the tal
entocl gentleman who has boen select
ed to represent this district iu the
State Senate:
“This gentleman will be pressed
)y his friends for President of the
next Georgia Senate. It is not too
much to say of Judge Hall that no
bettor nun will be found in the
Souf. for the place jd Ihi. we s y
without desiring to disparage the
claims of any of the other woithy
gentlemen who aspire to it.
‘ Judge Hall was appointed to the
Circuit bench by Governor Smith at
the age of thirty or thirty-one years
and at once gave evidence of lirst-
clas ability and developed into one
of the best judges in the State. In
point of administrative ability he is
equal to any and is second to no
man in the State. He has held other
positions of honor and there ns on
the bench made splendid records.
His power and ability as a lawyer is
recognized and felt wherever his
large and exetnsivo business carries
him. We hope to see him'preside
over the next Senate. 1 *
