Griffin, Ga.
- Griffin is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬
gressive town in Georgia. This is no hyper¬
bolic*! description, as the record of the last
ire years will show.
; ; During that thne It has built and put into
must successful operation a $100,000 cotton
•etory aud is now building another with
nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up a
| ■ ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac¬
tory , »n immense ice and bottling works, a
sash and blind factory, a broom factory
opened up the finest granite quarry in the
Dulled State*, and has many other enter-
prises > n contemplation. It has secured
another silroad ninety miles long, and while
Kr oeateu on the greatest system in the South,
the Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennsssee, Virginia
|fi 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 hero and working
to its ultimate completion. With
to five white and three colored
ohnrches, it is now building a $10,000 new
Presbyterian ohuroh. It has increased its
population by nearly one-fifth. It has at¬
tracted abound its borders fruit growers from
Heart; every btate 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 its wine making capacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully
Inaugurated a system of public schools, with
a seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the reoord 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
triuter, in the world.
Griffin is the county seat of Spalding
county, situated in west Middle Georgia, with
a healthy, fertile and rolling 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¬
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.
W» have several small ones, but their accom¬
modations are entirely too limited for our
business, pleasure and health seeking guests.
If you sec anybody that wants a good' loca¬
tion for a hotel in the South, just mention
Griffin.

New VonK, Sept. 17.—The New
York J,Stai publishes Ihc following
important interview with Cliauneey
M. Depcw, one of the recent can¬
didates for the Republican nomina¬
tion for the Presideifcy, and who has
returned from Europe :
Cbaumey M. Depcw was at his
desk in the Grand Central Depot yes
terday before the copper-hued gen¬
tleman who countersigns the passes
had turned up. Uptil noon he was
kept busy wringing the hands of
hundreds of friends who dropped
in to congratulate him upon his safe
return to bis native heath. Mr. De¬
pew was in one of his jolliest moods
and joked and talked politics with all
his whilom vivacity.
“Dili you find much interest mani-
fested abroad in the presidential cam¬
paign?”
“Not a partiole~on the Continent,
but prodigious in England, There
it is everywhere .discussed. You can¬
not go into a store in London or any
large city where, if you are known
or suspected to be an American,
they will not ask youjall about it.
general opinion over there is
that all the Democrats are free trad¬
in the English sense, and they
understand what a tariff re¬
former is.
“I met an Englishman, a noble¬
man of high education, who had trav

election of General Harrison.
“This surprised me, as Mr. Harri¬
is almost unknown in England.
L asked the reason for his preference.
He said that such a measure of tariff
as is proposed by the Dem
party would be the severest
ever struck at English manu¬
facturing and commercial suprema
“He said that he wts convinced
from what he had seen himself, and
what be had been told by emi¬
English manufacturers, that the
people, with free raw ma¬
and their marvelous faculty for
adapting machinery to the most com
plicated arid de’icate manufactures,
would soon coutroi the markets of
the world.
“Under the present system the En
glish manufacturer has it all his own
way, and he nnt’cipates with dread
the day when he will have to meet
bis American cousins on equal terms
in the markets o f the world.”
“What do you think of Blaine’s
speech on trusts and the paragraph
in Gen. Harrisen’s letter on tbo
same subject?”
air. Depew hesitated for some mo¬
ments. He finally replied: “I don't
care to enter into a criticism of Mi.
Blaine, but I will say that I take Gen
eral Harrison’s view of the subject.
These trusts, as some of them have
developed lately, are by no means
for the public good, and as they con
corn the whole people, the perp'e’a
representatives in Congress and the
Legislator# s should take them in
hand. I have not had a chance to
read carefully Mr. Blaine’s speech,
so I cannot discuss it.”
