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. If you see anybody that wants a good loca¬ tion for a hotel in the South, just mention Griffin. place where the Gam Griffin is the fin News is published— daily and weekly —the best newspaper in the Empire State of the Georgia, Please enclose stamps in sending for sample copies.

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.” ______ Plaid stuffs are in high favor for the popular Irish peasant cloaks. Liberated from their Fetters By tlie helpful, genial action of that most beneficent of aperients, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, the bowels soon throw off the bur- den that paralyzed anil weaked Ibem, and resu.ue their normal freedom of action. The action of the Bitters, unlike that of average purgatives, involves no like griping or drench¬ ing. If it did it would, tiiem, be value¬ less for ordinary use.

Malarial complaints, rhea matism, debility, nervousness and kidney j troubles are completely invariably relievep promoted by it. Sleep It. and appetite are i by 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.
