,■ l)e Griffin Daily News. VOLUME I? Griffin, Griffin is lh<‘ liveliest, pluckiest, most pro gressive town in Georgia. This is no hyper j bolleel description, ag the record of the last j five years will show. During that time it has built and put into most successful operation a ♦100,000 cotton factory and is now building another w ith nearly twice the capital. It lias pnt up a arge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac- ory, an immense ice and bottling works, a •ash and blind factory, a broom factory opened np the finest granite quarry in the United State*, and has many other enter¬ prises in .ontemptation, it has secured another. offroad ninety miles long, and while ooateaon the greatest system in the South, the Central, has secured connection with its important rival, the East Tennessee, Virginia aud Georgia, It has Just scoured direct inde¬ pendent connection with Chattanooga and the West, and hRS the President of a fourth railroad residing here and working to It* ultimate completion. With it* five white and three oolored ohurches, it is now building a $10,000 new Presbyterian church. It has increased its population by nearly one fifth. It has at. traded around its borders fruit growers from nearly every State in the Union, until it is now surrounded on nearly every side by or¬ chard* and vineyard. 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, witl a seven years curriculum, second to aone. This ia part of the record of a half decade aud simply shows the progress of an already admirable city, with the natnral advantages of having the finest climate, summer and winter, in the world. Griffin is the county seat of Spalding county, situated in west Middle Geo gia, 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 sirable settlers, who will not be any less w el¬ come if they bring money to help build up the town. There is aboutonty one thing we need badly jnst now, and that is a big hotel We have several emull 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- tionfor a hotel in the South, just mention tiriffiu. Griffin is the place whers the UmitriN News is published—daily and weekly—the oesl uewspuper in the Empire State ol the Georgia. Please ei,(dose stamps in sending f#r sample copies.

EXTENT OF THE DISASTER AND DISTRESS the Terrible Work of Stornuirivau Wnv*t» llogi'iiilng to b« Kuovrn—Crleg of Uistrens All Along; the < oast —Crew Unheard of. Nf.w York, Nov. 29.—The damage caused by the storm in this city is not known. Along tlie water fronts there aicfp many placei indications of the effects of tlie fierce gales and high tides,but within the city itself the streets and* buildings hav e only the usual soaked appearance after a rain storm. A floating coal ele • vator in the East river, at the foot of Grand street. came down with a mighty crash early, this morning. A large part of the mud bank along the East river, near Twenty-sixth street, has been washed away, and the water front in that neighborhood presented a sorry looking appearance. Over the city hung a dark mass of clouds and mist all day. Telegraph and telephone mixes are getting into liettor shape again, and, al¬ though some of them, in places where the gale was most severe aud where there was nothing to break its force, are still iu bad shape, it is becoming possi¬ ble for an electric current to move some distance without “changing cars.” Many of the found steamers, which did not dare to put to sea on Monday, left their piers yesterday,as there seemed to be no doubt that the fury of the storm had been spent. The anxiety of the managers of the Ocean Steamship company of Savannah concerning the overdue steamer Chatta¬ hoochee of that line has been allayed by a dispatch saying that the Chattahoo¬ chee, in company with the steamship Mars, had put into Newport News for coal and to escape tlie welcome fury of the storm. Scarcely had this news boon received, however, before a message from the Maratime exchange was deliv¬ ered to Mr. Walker, Ihe agent of ihe company, stating that the Nacoochce, the sister ship of the Chattahoochee, had gone ashore in tlie Carolina, storm on the danger¬ ous coast of North about seven miles south of Cape Ilatteras. The addi¬ tional information that the officers, ere\\ and passengers were safe was all that i ould he learned. The Naeoochee left Savannah Friday with a crew of forty-one men and a lim¬ ited number of passengers. She carried a miscellaneous but valuable cargo, principally cotton, pig iron and worth oranges. about The vessel and cargo arc $300,000; both aro insured. There are now outside somewhere seven pilot beats which were out in tlie gale of Sunday, and which have not yet been sighted or heard from. All of these carry their full complement and of of six them men for handling tlie boat, board. most have six pilots on ri«V. AVGUSTA EXPOSITION. The City t» Full of Georgians and South Carolinians.

All trains last night and this morning were crowded. The city was full of Georgians and South ('aroliuians. A large number of Georgia and South Carolina legislators were present. ■Gov. Brown. Senator Colquitt. Senator Butlor. Gov. Richardson, and both legislatures were in session on the grand stand. Henry \V. Grady deliver! d his speech of welcome to the immense audience, and was interrupted of frequently terrific cheer¬ by a spontaneous outburst ing. It is doubtful if Mr. Grady was ever accorded a more enthusiastic recep¬ tion, or closer attention to his eloquence. He pictured the rapid development of tlie south, especially the manufacturing and industrial progress of Georgia and South Carolina, compared glowing thetwosover- colors eignties, and painted in the friendship between them, which the god of love and peace had declared must remain indissoluble forever. Senator Butler, of South Carolina. »< plied to the speoch of welcome. Georgia has seen few such occasions, and to night the city is given over to ju¬ bilation. Augusta is proud of h»r great indus- trial exposition. Firemen iu a Tower.

If the contract for the construction of these vessels can not be obtained at rea¬ sonable prices from outside firms, the secretary of the navy is authorized to build such vessel or vessels at any navy yard he may designate. • TIIE WEST VIRGINIA COUNT.
