3gB eGriFfin 'l VOLUME 17 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 Griffin. the Gbiffin „ Griffin is the place where News is published—daily and weekly—the best newspaper in the Empire State of the Georgia, Please enclose stamps in sending for sample copies.

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 * GRANDPAP AND ME.
