(j tiffin i® the liveliest, pluckiest, ni6>t pro
-ressivetown in Georgia. I bis is no hyper
ollcal descri lion, as the record of the last
lire years will show.
During that time it has built a-ul pat into
most successful operation a $100,000 cotton
factory aud is now building another w ith
nearly twioe the capital. It has pnt up a
■,*.ge iron and brass foundry, a fertiliser fne-
ory, an immense ice and bottling works, a
lash aud blind factory, a broom factory
opened up the finest granite qnarry in the
failed State®, and has many other enter¬
prises in ontemplation. It has secured
jnothc allroad ninety miles long, and while
| ooateu on the greatest system in the South,
the Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia. It has jast secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
the W. st, aud has the President of a fourth
' railroad residing here and working
to its ultimate completion. With
Us five white and three colored
churches, it is now building a $10,000 new
Presbyterian ohnroh. It lias 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 Bide by or¬
chards and vineyard. It is the home of the
grspe and its wine winking capaoity has
doubled every year. It lias successfully
inaugurated a system of public schools, witi
a seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the reoord of a half decade
aud simply shows the progress of an already
admirable city, with the natural advantages
ot having the finest climate, summer and
winter, in the world.
Griffln 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, jt
will liuve at a low estimate between 6,000 and
7,000 people, aud they nre allot the rigid
aort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
welcome strangers and anxious to secure de
arable settlers, whowlll 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 just now, and that is a big hotei
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-
tioufor a hotel in the South, just mention
Griffin.
Griffin is the place where the UrurriN
Nv-wsis published— daily and weekly—the
nesi newspaper in the Empire State ot the
Georgia. Please enclose stamps in sending

Me Aden, of New Jersey, Frames a Bill to

Washington, Dec. 7.—Representative
McAdoo, of New Jersey, has prepared a
joint resolution, proposing an amend¬
ment to the constitution, setting apart a
day for the election r.T presidential elec¬
tors and forbidding the voting for any
state or local officials oil that day. The.
resolution provides that the election for
presidential electors in the several states
shall be held uniformly on the same dav
in each state—that is, on the third Tues¬
day of October of the year in which the
electors aie to be chosen,
“My idea,” sain Mr. McAdoo, is to pre¬
vent deals,combinations nnd trading,and
then to narrow the contest down to the
national issues. This change will also
prevent by the bunching voters from of being tickets, imposed will upon
and de¬
feat, to a certain extent, the coi rupt use
of money. Tho democratic party has
entered -on a holy crusade against the
dominant plutocracy, and proposes to
surround tin ballot box with all possible
safeguards. As a genera! rule 1 am op¬
posed to tinkering with the constitution,
nut this seems to lie a wise and conserv¬
ative measure, and violates no principle
o! the instrument as it now exists."
