Griffin is the county seat of Spalding county, situated in west Middle Georgia, with s healthy, fertile and r ising 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 weleomestrangers and anxious to secure do. 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 our business, pleasure and health seeking guests. If you see anybody that wants a good loca¬ tion for a hotel in the South, just mention GrlfDn. * Griffin is the place where , the Griffin News is published—daily and weekly -thc nest newspaper in the Empire State of the Georgia, Please enclose stumps in sending for sample copies.

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 aere yesterday evening and wiil open up to-morrow. Yours truly, The abovo is very encouraging,anti l here can be no doubt that Commie- sior.er G-. suei Ly_,es will bo at least to some extent realized; and the past shows that when northern peo* lie coma down this way Griffin and Spaulding county always get their share of settlers.

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.

Hard cash, wo presume, is so cal¬ led to distinguish it from soft money —or is it because it is so hard to get? Many of the large summer hotels are mere tiding boxes. Perhaps this is why so many matches aro made at our large summer hotels. Among the idiosyncrasies of West eru hfe we read of a band of horse- thieves who recently broke in the city-hall of a small Kansas town and kidnapped tho Mayor. If the base-ball umpire would base his decisions on what he thinks did not happen, he would always please the the errand stand, and retain about usual average mm wo Au interesting problem has been propounded by a young man aged ten, who wishes to know whether if coming events cast there shadow before, going events cast their shad dow behind, The relative difference in magni tude between the West and the East is shown by the fact that the West¬ ern man raises com by the acre, while tho Eastern man, as a rule, raises them by the foot. A philosopher observes that a man wants a great many things that he dosen’t need. The sage might have added that man needs a great many things that he dosen’t want. This is especially true of man when he is a small boy. A scientist asserts that a mile be¬ low the surface of Findlay, Ohio, a tiro is raging at a temperature of 3500 degress.
