Griffin,
Griffin in tliu liveliest, pluckiest, most
gressive town in Georgia. I his is no hj per
bolkal descri lion, as the record of the
five years will show.
Daring that time it has built and put
most successful operation a $ 100,000 cotton
factory und is now building another w
nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up
urge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer
ory, an immense ice 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 iu ;ontemptation. It has secured
another ,-allroad ninety miles long, aud while
ocateu on the greatest system in the South,
the Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia. Ithasjust secured direct
pendeat connection witli Chattanooga and
the Wt st, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to its ultimate completion. With
its five white and three colored
ohnrches, it is now building a $ 10,000 new
Presbyterian church. It has increased its
population by nearly one fifth. It has at¬
tracted 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 vineyard. It is the home of the
grape and its wine making capacity has
doubled every year. It hag successfully
inaugurated a system of public schools, witL
a seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the record of a half decade
and simply shows the progress of an already
admirable city, with the natural advantages
of haring the finest climate, summer and
winter, in the world.
Griffin is the county sent of Spalding
county, situated iu west Middle Georgia, with
a healthy, fertile aud 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 Btrangers and anxious to secure de
•irable 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 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 anybody that wants a good loca¬
tion for a hotel in the South, just mention

A Letter from the President—Johnny Jingo
Ingalls in Town—Strange FncU
About the Vote for Presi¬
dent—A Had Ureuk.
Nf.w York, Nov. 24.—[Special.]—A
personal letter from President Cleveland
has been received by a prominent gen¬
tleman of this city, in which he says he
will remain at Oak View until the meet¬
ing of congress, in order to devote his
entire time, without interruption, to the
preparation of his annual message to
congress. He will deny himself to all
callers except officials who call on public
business, and his afternoon receptions to
the public will be suspended until after
the meeting of congress. He declares he
will not visit the White House again this
month unless it is found necessary to
meet the members of the cabinet there.
The president adds that Mrs. Cleve¬
land is “greatly opposed to our not re¬
turning to the White House at once, but
I feel as if l were more capable of hard
labor in our present retreat.”
Senator John J. Ingalls arrived to¬
night on a visit to some of his republi¬
can friends. It is not unlikely that his
coming will create more or less of a stir,
as he is undoubtedly one of the most
taking and popular of the members of
the republican party. Hjs principal
charm lies as much in his talk as any¬
thing. The same habit of forcible and
felicitous expression which characterizes
his everyday speeches in tlie senate are employed
in life, and, accordingly, lie is
listened to with great eagerness. Mr.
Ingalls's jubilation over the election finds
vent in the. scraps of talk which are pub¬
lished about him throughout the west
and his criticisms of the president are
impressive, because of his linguistic and
rhetorical exuberance.
1 hear Mrs. Amelie Rives-Chanler is
hard at work on her new book to be
called “A Simple Vision." The news¬
paper cuttingly will hint that the forth¬ '‘La
coming volume rival Zola’s
Reve” in its purity, and are daily making
odious comparisons and speculations
upon its sale. After all, that is the prin¬
ciple thing.
Some *“* brought
singular facts were out in
by a politician of this city yesterday
comparing the relative number of ballots
polled in different parts of tho country
at the November elections. Thus, in
South Carolina, just about one-third of
the voters went to the polls this year,
and the total vote of the state, as offici¬
ally reported, was only 72.565. This is
fully 12,000 'ess than the vote there four
years ago. at the previous one-half presidential the
election, and less than of
vote pi He I in 1880. Thu population of
the state is two-thirds large as that of
the city of New York, and yet this city
polled 274,745 ballots, or three and a half
times more than .South Carolina. The
politician went on making similar com¬
parisons with other parts of the country,
and with the elections of other years,
and those of my readers who choose to
follow his example are sure to be in¬
structed and surprised by the facts they
will discover.
,** Sherman the
The break of Gen. at
chamber of commerce dinner, where he
proclaimed that ho was glad President
Cleveland had been defeated, because he
appointed “a rebel,” Judge Lamar, to a
cabinet place, was the talk yesterday of
down-town merchants and bankers,
many of whom are members of the
Union League Club. The ante-election
speech of lien. Sherman at the club was
recalled. He then declared that every
soldier in the army should at all times
show the greatest respect and regard for
his comtuander-in-chief, the President
of the United States, and somehow Gen.
Sherman's utterances at the chamber of
commerce banquet didn't seem to tally
with his grandiloquent remarks at the
Union League. But there was much
charity for the old war horse on the
ground that his public breaks with were
stated to be more numerous every
month he lives.
*** criticising
Speaking of army officers
publicly their commander-in-chief, the
president, recalls the experience of a
New York newspaper man when sent to
Gen. Phil Sheridan just before his last
illness, with the desire for an interview
as to liow he viewed President Cleve¬
land's administration. Gen. Sheridan
was at the Fifth Avenue hotel at the
time, and wore a plug hat and pepper-
and-salt sack suit. He didn't look much
like the fighter he was. When the news¬
paper man stated iiis errand, the general
spoke in dignified but kindly tones, and
said: “Don't you know that I cannot
talk on that subject ? I’ll oblige you as
far as 1 can on any other subject, but I
must bo excused in this matter.”

The people are become very much inter¬
ested in the Washington centennial next
April. It is one of the few celebrations
which seem to catch the busv citizens of
New York family, body, soul, and boots,
and people who go to understanding Europe this winter that
do so with the full
they are going to lose a very large and
pretentious sort of show.

laid up for a fortnight with a cold that
was so severe as to incapacitate him for

that he was dangerously ill. It was said
at Palmer's theatre last night, however,
on Mr. Palmer's authority, that Mr.
Boucieault was much better. His wife
said she believed he would be able to
resume his duties at the school in a day
or two.

It is bad *** Knight,
too about poor George
the actor of “Over the Garden Wall’’
fame. He is suffering with paresis, ap¬
parently from the same causes which re¬
sulted in the death of John McCullough
and Bartley Campbell, and which have
prostrated Tony Hart. It is said he can
not live long. Knight's real name is
George Sloan. He started on the stage
as he a variety actor. About ten years ago
married Miss Sophie Worrell, of the
famous Worrell sisters. The marriage
estranged Miss Worrell from her rela¬
tives for the time being, but finally,upon
the birth of her first child, her relatives
became reconciled, and have ever since
been good friends.
Mrs. Knight thinks the cause of her
husnana s ureas ing down was me latmre

which he based hopes of future great¬
ness. He thought so much of this piece
and his part in it that he had a $15,000
picture painted representing himself in
one of ihe scenes.
This play did not take, and from that
Mr. Knight seemed to get worse. About
two months ago it was noticed that his

rumor that Col. John G. Moore, Judge

Blaine a cabinet place, whether It is the
president-elect's pleasure qr not. They
tried at first to coax Frye into stepping
aside in order to allow Blaine to return
to the Senate, but Frye did not accom¬
modate them worth a cent. Now they
are after Hale, but the latter is '’heck-
mating them by insisting boldly in an
interview that as nine-tenths of the rank
and file of the republican party want
Blaine in the cabinet, he feels sanguine
that such an honor will be tendered to
the man from Maine. Hale want* to
hold on to his own seat in the senate,
and prefers it to a cabinet ixwdtion. He
is right. I myself am as certain that
Blaine will go into the cabinet if he wants
to as that John Sherman will not go
in if he wants to. The moment the
Sherman big fellows would get an really idea tliat John
like to become
secretary of state, that very moment
they will set to work to prevent his ob¬
taining the coveted prize Sherman has
had a certain kind of political success in
Ohio.liecanse he happened to get started
in the right, groove more than a quarter
of a century ago, but outside of the state
he is royally detested by the republican
politicians, his ambitions and whenever (hey have he nipped tried to all win of
a Sherman presidential has alwavs nomination. The mistake
loyally made has been that
he did not stand by hi* political
friends, lie is too selfish, and no matter
how able and prominent in the senate he
ha* been, his methods have repelled the
men who swing the state delegations. It
is awfully galling to John Sherman to
know that a lightweight man like Harri¬
son is going to be the president of the
United States after March 4th.”
If Iowa is to have a place in the cabi¬
net the great question is, who is to get
the honor ? It is said by friends of Mr.
Clarkson, the editor of the Des Moines
Register, that ho is not anxious to be
numbered among Harrison’s official ad¬
visers, and some of Senator Allison’s ad¬
mirer* think that he will hardly consent
to leave the senate to even take the treas¬
ury portfolio. He is a lead¬
ing man in the aenate,
congenial and legislative duties are more
to him than executive. Still,
if the pressure is strong for him to take
the new place, he may yield, and that
would mean that the chances of other
men in the northwest would grow beau¬
tifully less.
There is a story that Senator Sherman
would not care to go into a cabinet that
includes Gen. Alger, of Michigan, as one
of it* members. It will be remembered
that tiie charge was freely made at the
time of tiie national republican conven¬
tion in Chicago that Alger’s money
weaned away from Sherman's support
for the presidency many of the negro
delegates of Virginia from corralled the south. those Riddleberger
darkies here
when they were on their way to Chicago.
Riddleberger detests Sherman’s general
principles, and when Sherman, he discovered that
Mahone was for he set to work
to “do up” the man from Ohio. With
Alger s 1 oodle he succeeded. Had Sher¬
man not lost so many of the delegates
lie pledged might to eventually him at the have state captured conventions the
nomination at Chicago.
It begins to look as if there is now no
cliace for a southern republican in Har¬
rison's cabinet, unless Goff of West Vir¬
ginia is selected, or unless Gen. Hender¬
son of Missouri is appointed attorney-
general.
