Griffin,
Griffin U the Iireliest, pluckiest, most pro
gressive town in Georgia, 'this is no hjper
bolival descii, tion, as the record of the last
live yews will show.
Daring that time it 1ms built and put into
most successful operation a >100,000 cotton
factory and is raw building another with
nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up a
a ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac-
ory, an immense ice and bottling works, a
sash and blind factory, a broom factory
opened up the finest granite quarry in the
United States, and has many other enter¬
prise* in ontemplatiou. It has secured
another dll road ninety miles long, and while
ooatea on the greatest system in the South,
the Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennsssee, Virginia
and Georgia. It hag just seeured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
the West, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to ita ultima'e completion. With
its five white and three colored
churches, it is now building a $10,000 new
Presbyterian ohuroh. It has increased its
population by nearly one tiftli. 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¬
chards 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, will,
a seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the rcoord of a half decade
and simply shows the progress of an already
admirable city, with the natural advantages
of having the finest climate, summer and
winter, in the world.
Griffin is the county seat of Spalding
county, situated in west Middle Georgia, witli
a healthy,fertile and rolling country, 1150
feet aboTe 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 righl
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
weleome strangers and anxious to secure de
sirable 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 wc
need badly jnst now, aud 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-
tionfor a hotel in the South, just mention
Uriffiu.
Griffin is the place where the Gairns
Naws is published—daily and weekly —the
t>#si newspaper in the Empire State ot the
Georgia, Please enclose stamps in sending
f#r sample copies.
This bnot saetoli will answer July 1st
1688. By January 1st, 1889, it will have to he
changed to keep up with the times.

Mr. Gerry s scheme for the celebration

these men display in getting up enter

may enlist their services, is well recog¬
nized throughout the town. They typify
in the highest degree what is known in
the west ns a "hustler." Mr. Gerry's
ideas at first seemed rather large, hut
the public has gradually grown feeling up tc
them, and there is a genera!
about here that when the celebration of

It has now become as much a fashion

fellow, though a quiet and honest little
man', and his withdrawal will not to felt
by the general public, like the as he lias, for in¬
stance, nothing of Kelly, newspaper or

It is not unlikely that a good deal of
Ward's fame is a reflex of the celebrity
of iiis wife. People very often talk atout
the pair. It was such an odd thing for
an actress of Helen Dauvray's theatrical promi¬
nence to give up the life of a
star, and all that that implies, and sink
into a life of absolute domesticity and
retirement, that tho idea lias gained a

Miss I’auvray does not for she seem particular¬

The story which Marshall P. Wilder is

“Of coni'M' not." said the doctor orae-

much, drink too much, too
much. You should eat but two meals a
day, drink nothing but red wines, and
smoke one big passed cigar only after dinner."
A month and the doctor met
the patient again. The marks of misery
and gloom were upon the face of the pa¬
tient. “I am atout ten thousand per
cent worse," he said. “The eating was
all right, and the drinking was all right
but smoking that one cigar a day nearly
kdled me.”
“How so?” asked the doctor.

Nf.w York, Dec. 1. —[Special.]—Amid
the hustling crowd that “swirls." as the
author of •• Asuiodeiii." would say. in and
out of newspaper row, [ caught the eye
of ex-Senator “Joe" McDonald, of Indi¬
ana, this afternoon. People hoar little
of McDonald nowadays.
For years he l a- divided the honors of
the law practice of his state with Benja¬
min Harrison, who, in the second week
of next January, will become president
of these United States. When Hen¬
dricks was alive he ranked at the, bar
with these two men, it is a notable fact,
that, while the three were good lawyer ,
they were likewise potent politicians, li
comparisons were made, McDonald
would lie picked out as the beet lawyer
of the trio. 1 le enjoys a practice second
to that of no attorney in the west. He
was in the senate during the stormy days
of the Ms ye , fraud and tore a conspicu¬
ous part in all important matters. He is
a tall man. with a bald head, and be¬
trays the v . stern w in dress and appear¬
ance. He doesn't travel on the style ot
his apparel.but what "Joe" doesn't know
about Indiana and her politics is lit’rally
not worth knowing.
'•I'm in town on business." lie said.
••What else could I be in for? To think,
much less speak about politics, is tc
make my very si ul sick. To think tliat
tiie tost and noblest president the coun¬
try' lias ever seen should be snowed un¬
der, is enough to paral.y z • the most phil¬
osophical.
“John Sherman yvill haw a jilace in
the cabinet, dej end on that. He is (Jen.
Harrison's most tried frii nd. and Harri¬
son is not it man to go back on his
^rieuds. but 1 don’t think Harrison yvill
do other than try his best to be popular.
Mark my iiis words, notwithstanding the
fact of having will adopt "bloody-shirtors" in
his cabinet, lie no stringent
measures, and will leave the affairs ot
the south to the people of the south.'’
A tall, rather English looking gentle¬
man, with a faint accent, is the husband
of Mrs. Langtry. 1 watched him as he
boarded the Aurania the other day. He
thinks he has deceived everybody, for
he has registered at "The Ashland" un¬
der an assumed name; but "what are
yve here for" if not to penetrate disguises
and unravel identities? 1 wonder if the
Lily's husband really wishes thinks to see tier
divorced, or whether he there is
yet hope of reconciliation? Who knows?

Washington, Dec. l. -{Special. |—
is stated on semi-authority that the
finished and turned over his
to congress lo the printer-- this
afternoon. It will doubtless be struck
and delivered early Monday morning.
The strictest watch is alwaya kept over
document in order to prevent pre¬
mature publication. On one or tyvu oc¬
in the past copies of messages
have 1 tee 11 purloined and hawked around
newspaper offices, but nothing of this
kind has ever happened since Mr. Cleve¬
land has been at the head of affairs.
The president is quite reticent to his
most distinguished callers regarding the
details of what he proposes to say, hut,
of course, he has talked in a general way
with some of the leading democrats in
the city, and here and theie is found a
straw to indicate the character and tone
of the message. The last message dealt
yvitli but one subject-—the tariff. In view
of that fact, it is said that the mes¬
sage on Monday yvill be of exceptional
length, and whilst the president yvill not
recede a particle from the advanced
stand taken last year on that question,
he will recommend other important leg¬
islation, and go more fully into the af¬
fairs of the government than he has
ijver done since becoming the chief ex¬
officer of the nation, lie yvill
devote a large portion of the message at
the out.-et to the necessity of revising
the tariff schedules. He will, also, ac¬
cording the public to all land that can and be Pacific learned, railroad handle
questions in a the vigoroweway, absolute ami urge of

to stand honestly by the settler, as was
emphasized Guilford-Miller in the stand taken in the fa¬
mous ease, nearly two
years ago. For this reason the demo¬
in the last campaign were opposed
by all the big land and railroad powerful.not corpora¬
which influence was
in the west, but in all parts of tiie
country. has
The president been anxious that
his administration should do something
forcing a settlement of the Pa¬
railroad question, and the commis¬
which he appointed made a report
congress on which the Outhwaite bill,
pending in congress was based. The
president this is subject expected his to say something
terse on in message. It
also understood that he will not only
stoutly the stand of his adminis¬
on the question of civil service
but that lie will recommend ad¬
legislation the for the strengthening reck¬
extension of system, lie U
this by subject those who have talked with lam
as staunch an advocate of
merit system as lie has ever been,
his general recommendations will be
just as if lie had another four
term to serve, instead of going out
office the 4th of next March.
Although Mr. Cleveland lias nut had
time in which to prepare the forth
message, it is believed that it
will prove to be one of the strongest and
interesting that lie has yet sent to

strong drink, n practice to which he was
not addicted prior to his assumption of
imperial power. To this indulgence and
its consequent effects are ascribed many

In the Richmond Dispatch of yesterday
was published a hitter invective against
the president. The author is ~a d to b • a
IMvlitician of high note and second audi-
tor of the state. It charges the president
with ;i lack of the principles which go to
make up democracy, and towards the
dose occurs this passage :
When, therefore, it was seen that
Mr. ( leveland had invited Fred Douglas
and his white wife and negro daughter
to Iiis ocial receptions at the White
House, at least four times, it became ev¬
ident he was ignoring the problem of his
age: tliat ho was, by that act, a miseege-

popular assemblies of the world. "Han¬

The popular impression that Hansard
retains a corps of i-ariiamentary stenog¬
raphers, from whose notes the delude*
are printed, is erroneous The speeches
printed in Hunsard ape taken from the
morning pajs-rH and sent to the peers or
members hy whom they were delivered
for revision and correction. As the
journals of this city rei>ort verbatim
only the *|ieeches of the lending mem-
tors, and give a mere summary of the
other*, those who have failed to get their
addreases published have inaugurated a
war on Hansard. An overwhelming
majority of the hoime have been kept in
comjiarative obscurity by Hansard. The
movement to introduce a new system
will doubtless to successful, as it has the
support of tories, liberals, liberal nation¬
alist* and I’arnelhtes.
In 1800 , Luke H. Hansard togan to re¬
port the parliamentary debates, and his
children and grand children have con¬
tinued the same business. The family

sides reporting the debates, their estab¬

some of the accounts.
