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 •some if they bring money to help build up the town, there is about only ore thing we need badly jnst 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 auybody that wants a good loca- ion for a hotel in the South, just mention Griffin.

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.

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 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.

The sentiment of the whole German people may he found in the letter of Heim Julius Csesar, a prominent mer¬ chant,of Cologne, writing to a friend.

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 .

She was known then as the “beautiful Laura K< hirmer." She had a handsome face and a fascinating manner, and her voice, a light Her soprano, was of an exquisite qual¬ 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.

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.
