Mr. G. A. Cunningham, Griffin, Ga.:
Dear Sir: Yours of the 3.1 received
at Ft. VVayne: also box of pamphlets
and jag of wine. The pamphlets tire
being placed where they will do the
most good, as is also the wine. I
give them all to understand tint it is
'‘M’sejonaiy wine,” and from tLo ex¬
pressions of pleasure by those who
taste the wine I am inclined to the
opiaiot that if I had enough of Mr.
Hassetkus'a wine to givo them all one
drink, I could convert the whole -
North, but the trouble is that they
all would want to settle around Grif-
6d.
Am meeting with even greater sue
cess than I anticipated, and if there
is not another grand march through
Georgia within the next two years I
shall be greatly disappointed. The
state fair at Jackson was a grand
success—25,000 on the grounds on
Thursday, aud every one examined
the Georgia exhibit and pronounced
it the feature of the fair. The Grif¬
fin chair excites universal admiration,
as do also the Griffin plaids, Got

The abovo is very encouraging,anti

the north from the vintage now on
rand, Mr, Hasselkaus will have mere
than double the amount next year,
and every prospector and every acs
tual sett'er will be guaranteed v bot¬
tle of the best. If that doesn’t fetch
them, after being shown how they
can go ahead and in a fow years
make as much wine as they want to
drink and sell, why then they must
be obdurate against nil inducements:
Commissioner Giessner, in the
above, as .veil as by his conversation
here, shows bis usual grasp of the
bnsincss be has in hand. Each part
of Georgi i is exhibited by him by its
most er'ient f dntes, and ho recog¬
nizes the fact winch the News has
st rdily and successfully endeavored
to impress upon the world, that this
is essentially a grape growing and
wine making section. Those new¬
comers who have bceD most success¬
ful—a success that although just bo
ginning is already exciting the at
tontion and surprise of people both
here and abroad—are those who have
put their time, money and skill into
vineyard?, large or small. Considcra
ble space is devoted to this impor
tant fcutje< t in the Griffin pamphlets
being dis'Ll uted as mentioned.
If north..a emigrants “al! want to
settle arou td Griffin’’tbe r e is i .uuj
enough for them, and they could not
find a mo. o pleasant, healthful or
profitable location.

It enema that the mnsie was not ap

young men who were in the second
story of tbe building were so rude a*
to throw rocka into the crowd of eer
enaders. Now we do not wish to
make a lengthy comment apen the
affair, but it doen seem that the

more discretion than to have burled

were young ladies- Surely they
