:*Pi eCriffin '1 I r i I rr^ --------------- VOLUME 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.

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.

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.” be Loo considered Cabins can handsome hardly or elegant, bat they were fit habitations for the irogged pioneers of Amer ^ ica.
