Griffin, Ga.
Griffin is tlic liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬
gressive town in Georgia. This is no hj pc,r-
bolieal description, as the record of the last
live years will show.
During that time it lias built and put into
most successful operation a #100,000 cotton
actory and is now building another with
nearly twice the capital. It has put up a
a;ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac¬
tory, an immense iee 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 ontemplatiou. It has secured
another uilroad ninety miles long, and while
ocatcu on the greatest system in the South,
the Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennessee, Virginia
nd Georgia. Ht has just secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
the Wt st, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to its ultimate completion. With
ts te 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-
ractcd 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 and iit we 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 record of a half decade
and simply shows the progress of a a already
admirable city, with the natural advantages
of having the finest climate, summer and
winter, in tile world.
Griffin is tho 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
sir able settlers, wliowiU not be any less wel

the town, there is about only ore thing we
need badly jnst now, and that is a big hotel.

Wash i:,<; ton. D. C„ Oct. 8.—Special
An eve in which has happened but seven
times in the Iiistory of the nation has
been repeated.
Melville IV. Fuller, the eighth chief
justice ot the United Stales has been
sworn inio his high office, and congress¬
men, senators, politicians and prominent
public officials left for the nonce their
move or less arduous duties to glare the
illustrious occasion.
Mr. Fuller spent Iasi niglii quietly at
his spacious stone mansion on the hill
just north of the city, which will lie
the residence of the new chief of the
judicial depitituient of the government
l’or the next fifteen months until a dwell¬
ing owned hy the family shall have been
erected. Mrs. I idler is an active, ener¬
getic woman ot noticeable beauty and
remarkable force of character. While
not trained in the stately code of the
colonial and revolutionary school, which
gave to the court circle its first chief
lady. Mis .Say, she represents the easy
grace, vivacity and decorum of modern
maim us and methods in social inter¬
course which may be said to be typically
American.
During .tailed, the evening several prominent
men and in a dignified manner
congratulated the second democratic
chief justire, and wished him long life
and health during his career. Mr Fuller
arose in the morning, and after break¬
fast took a short drive for exercise with
two of his pretty young daughters
At the time appointed the steps and
corridor of the capitol Were alive with
people anxious to catch a glimpse of the
white-moustached little gentleman who
comes walking slowly up the steps arm
in arm with Associate Justice Miller, the
senior member of the court. Following
came the several justices arm in amr.
The liist part of the ceremonies took
place in the robing room. Only a few
legal It lights were permitted to bo present.
consisted, however, of but little more
than the taking of the oath of loyalty to
the government, which every military,
naval 01 civil officer under the govern¬
ment, except the president, is leqttired
to take as follows;
“I, Mellvillc \V. Fuller, do solemnly
swear that I ha ve never voluntarily borne
arms against the United States since I
have been a citizen thereof; that. I have
not voluntarily given aid, countenance,
counsel or encouragement to persons en¬
gaged in armed hostility thereto, that I
have neither sought nor accepted nor
attempted office to exercise the fund ions of any
whatever under any authority or
pretended authority in hostility to the
United States, that I have not yielded a
voluntary support to any pretended gov¬
ernment, authority, power States or constitu¬
tion within tho United lm tile or
inimical thereto; and I do further swear
that to the knowledge defend and ability I will
support and the constitution of
the United States against all enemies,
foreign and domestic, that 1 will bear
true faith and allegiance to the same;
that I take this obligation freely, with¬
out any mental reservation or purpose of
evasion, and that I will well and faith¬
fully discharge the duties of the office on
which 1 am about to enter, so help me
God.”
Then came the second or judicial oath,
by which Mr. Fuller enters upon (he du¬
ties of Ins office and was taken in open
court, which was crowded with the no¬
tables of the city. The new chief jus¬
tice entered I lie conrt room with Asso¬
ciate Justice Miller, nnd ascended the
bench, lie was attired in Ins black,
silk robe and received the oath with his
hand upon the desk, before which tifty-
two years ago, the Ili-t demo is'j. . hief
justice, Roger A. Taney stood li was
in 1*2(5 and during the last year of Pids-
ident Jackson’s second term that Mr
Taney became chief justice, succeeding
the illustrious John Marshall There
are probably but very few members of
the bar of the supreme court of the
United States of that day living oath,the to-day.
Mr. Fuller took prescribed the following and taken by
one originally chief justices since the
all of the seven
foundation of the government;
“I, Melville Weston Fuller, do solemly
swear that I will administer justice with¬
out respect to persons and do equal right
to the poor and the rich, and that 1 will
faithfully and impartially duties incumbent discharge and
perform all the on me
us chief justice, according to tin- host of
luv abilities and understanding, and agreea¬
bly to the constitution laws cf the
United Slates, so help my God ”
Chici Justice Fuller then bowed hisae-
knowl" 1- •!i;>Tits to the members of the
court, the members cf the bai and the
spectator- present. The clerk of the
court here came forward and presented
the newly install -d chief justice with a
handsomely l nmd copy of the docket of
cases.
These pr- e,.-,lings are much more elab¬
orate than those with which Chief Jus¬
tice Wait" was inducted into the posi¬
tion, but it was thought that it was more
in keeping with the dignity of the posi¬
tion.

sultan's displeasure.
Following close upon this come*
the new-that Laura Sehirmer, a Boston
girl and not many yeafs ’the ago a rising
and popular singer on American
opera -’age, has been poisoned, with
thii tt m other inmates of the harem of
the Sultan of Turkey: in Constantinople,
of course, where for centuries the sack
or the b . " string has been the preroga¬
tive; <J the sultan, nnd no one has ever
been the wiser. The matter has been
kept i ompletely secret, but in Milan the. friend-
of the unhappy cantatrice claim
to have undoubted evidence of this
frightful crime, boldly and a leading Milanese
paper )ms stated it is a fad ,V
cording to the story, the sultan is Ire
lieved to have been incensed at tl.c .a
tempts ot the American Minister to
Turkey, working on f.. half of Laura’s
friends, to get the w oman out of her
gilded captivity, and so ice on one night
poison 'vns placed in the cream fur¬
nished to the occupants of the imperial
seraglio, and fourteen poor women, in¬
cluding the American girl, were found
dead in the morning. Of course there
w.js no inquest, no coroner's inquiry, no
v,relict. The bodies of the victims were
hurried away* to nameless graves, and
the curtain dropped. Whan tho dogs of
Constantinople die their and hungry fellows
cat their carcasses, women are
cheaper and Jess precious than dogs there,
for tlio latter clean the streets and keep
out pestilence. only
Jen years ago, when she was
eighteen, Laura Hchirmer had already
won a proud place among Boston con¬
cert singers, and a bright future seemed
to beckon her to a yet higher place. She
was known then as the “beautiful Laura
K< hirmer." She had a handsome face
and a fascinating manner, and her voice,

ity. mother, a Boston woman, was
well-to-do, and and had the daughter best musical was reared
in luxury the train¬
ing that Boston afforded.
Her mother even boasted among her
friends that “Heine liebe Laura” was
nobly born, she being connected with
the Dutch nobility. Before her twentieth
year Laura had made so marked a suc¬
cess on the concert stage that her friends
all urged her to study for the operatic
stage, and after a year’s study she sang
at the Globe. Theater with..Charles Crown R.
Adams in “La Juice' and “The
Diamonds.” Later on she traveled in
th" United States under Slnikoseh, sing¬

It wa-, then she met herevil genius.the
English tenor, Byron. She iell in love
with him. went to Europe with him.
Her friends say ko man e-I h, r. At any
rate, they went to Milan to ,-ing and
study, and .she made her Italian debut
(litre. But it was not long before the
American colony there began to talk
about her unhappy life. Her husband's
greatest joy, they said, appeared to be to
degrade tne lovely woman who had
linked her fortunes with his. He made
her perform the most menial offices,
black his boots, cook his food and other
things far worse, and slough she, loving him.
fi ll easily into the of woman¬
hood. She grew course and reckless in
speech and action, her voice lost its flex¬
ibility. and her face and form showed
the effect- of her degradi d life. Slu- and
Byron took a theatre and tried manage¬
ment, but made a failure of it. Then
they went to Constantinople and tried il
again, and under the favoring smiles of
the sultan they succeeded better.
Last winter the American colony at
Milan heard that Laura had become an
inmate of the sultan’s harem. Some said
she had been abduct d thither, but Olli¬
ers. who knew her tastes and tendencies,
l.elievi d that she had gone willingly into
this captivity. And now comes this lat¬
est story, and all Milan holds up its hands
in horror.
