\ . OrifFir \ H iOl.l-MK 17 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. I'itOftSSIUNAL DIRt Cl OR H ENRY C.

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 very linn hold in the opinion of all man kind that her husband must have more than the ordinary in his composition.

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.

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.
