Griffin , Ga.
—;-
Griffin Is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬
gressive town in Georgia. This is no hyper-
bolical description, as the record of the last
five years will show.
During that time it has built and put into
most successful operation a # 100,000 cotton
^tory and is now building another with
nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up a
Inrge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac¬
tory an immense ice and bottling works, a
■ash and blind factory, a broom factory
opened up the finest granite quarry in the
UUted State*, and has many other enter-
Mother . in ontemplatiou. It has secured
ail road ninety miles long, and while
located on the greatest system in the South,
the Central, has secured connection with its
'oU ■ ortant rival, the East Tennessee, Virginia
Georgia. It has just secured direct inde-
\uaeat connection the witli President Chattanooga of fourth and
y, e W<st, and has a
railroad residing here and working
jc itg ultimate completion. With
it8 five white and three colored
churches, it is now building a $ 10,000 new
p re :byteriau chnrch. It has increased its
population by nearly one fifth. It has at¬
tracted around its borders fruit growers from
nearly every State in tbe Union, until it is
bow surrounded on nearly every side by or-
obards and vineyards. It is the home of the
grape and its wine making capacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully
inaugurated a system of public schools, with
• seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the reoord of a half decade
snd simply shows the progress of an already
admirable city, with the natural advantages
of having the finest climate, summer and
winter, in the world.
Griflln 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.
g 0 r t—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 buildup
the town. There is about only one tiling wc
need badly just now, and that is a big hotel.
We have several small ones, but their accom¬
modations are entirely too limited for onr
business, pleasure and health seeking guests.

PIKE COUNTY COURT.
The Grand Jury Gives a Warning to
Cotton Weighers.
The October term of the Superior
oourtof Pike county adjourned i'S
two weeks session in said oounty on
the J2tb.
JudgeJ. S. Boynton presided the
ffrst week, with the fine looks and dig
nity of an Englsh Lord. He being
disqualified in the cases set for second
week, secured the services of Judge
Gustin, of Macon, to preside for him.
The criminal docket was taken up on
Tuesday, which consumed the remain
der of the session. Judge Gustin in
his impartial charges to the jurors
and his rulings on points of law dis
tinguished his excellent ability so as
to secuie for him the high esteem of
the good citizens of our county. The
cases that were disposed of before
him which have not yet been men
tion in the News are as follows: W
B, Hudgins, larceny from house,
fined $75 and cost. Adam Johnson
(col.), felony, obstructing Ga. Mid
land & Gulf Railroad; penitentiary
6 years.
The grand jurors found only 33
true bills at this term of the court,
whioh were mostly of a petty charao
ter. They also called the attention
of the general public to the fact that
scalesmen who weigh cotton for the
public were only allowed by law 10
C^nts per bale and anything over or
in excess of that was contrary to the
spirit of the law end would subject
the one for overcharging the 10 cts.,
to a fine of $500. See section in
code of Ga. 4552.
The grand jurors in taking leave
of his honor, Judge Gustin, said y
could not forget our efficient So icitor
General E, Womack, for the pol ie
ness and able counsel he had < xto id
ed to their body during court, fcad
they would recommend that oir rep
resentatives vote for and use every
honorable means to secure his elec
tion to the same position, as he was
a tower and a terror to the evil doers
of our country and county.
The Griffin News is still widen
ing and popularizing. Judge G. W.
Gustin, of Macon, and W. X. Beall,
of Thomaston, the Flint Circuit Re¬
porter, are among those who subscrib
ed this week, in order to keep up
with the legal proceedings of this
part of Georgia. A. H. R.
THE NEGRO NORTH AND SOUTH.
The Theory May be Different, Bot
the Practice Is the Same.
The Findlay (O.) Republican gets
off the following:
“While Allen G. Tbnrman isasenr
ing the colored man of the North
that the Democratic parly is tbe
true and only friend of his race,
Douglas Glessner,brother of the edit
or of the Courier, is publishing such
sentiments as these in his paper, the
News, at Griffin, Ga,: ‘AH white
men should turn out to the election
next Wednesday and vote for their
own race. Further,‘The question is
whether we want the country ruled
by white men or by negroes. We
do not not believe that Spalding
county politics have fallen to so low
an ebb as to admit of more .bun one
answer, but that answer should be
made emphatic and convincing for
all time to come.’ ”
The Findlay Courier truthfully
and effectually auswers the above in
this way:
“The Republican quotes from a
Southern Democratic paper a para
graph advocating the election of white
men to office. The principles eonnei
ated thus have been practiced by the
Republicans of Ohio ever since the ne
gro was made a voter. While pat
ting him on his back for his vote,
he word has been quietly passed
around Dot to let a colored man
have an office. Only four months
ago a distinguished colored man was
a prominent candidate for delegate
at large from Ohio to tbe Republi
can National Convention, but of
course be was slaughtered in the
house of his friends. And yet if it
wasn’t for the colored vote, the Re
publicans would not have a ghost of
a show in Ohio. The Republicans of
Ohio do Dot treat the negro any bet
ter than do the Democrats of Geor
gia.”

By tlie helpful, genial action of that most

action of the Bitters, unlike that of average

The Public Schools.
Prof. Graham desires us to state
that tbe public sshools keep railroad
time, and that pupils should be pres
ent between 7:35 and 8 o’clock a. m.,
by that standard. It is not dcsira
ble that pupils should cento before
7:35, as they would not be und^r the
supet vision of the teachers.
Professor Graham also wants a cor
dial invitation extended to every
body, and especially the ladies, to
visit the schools as often and as free
ly as possible. If more attention of
this kind were paid to our public
schools, it would be an encourage
meat to both pupils and teachers.
