h ■ A iffin,
Griffin is tile liveliest, pluckiest, most pro
gresaive town in Georgia. Tlxis is no Uj per
diva', description, ns the record of the last
fire years will show.
During that time it lias built and put into
most successful operatiou a $100,000 cotton
factory and Is now building another w ith
nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up a
-urge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac-
ory, an immense ice and bottling works, a
sash and blind factory, a broom factory
opened np the finest granite quarry in the
I’uited States, and has many other enter¬
prises in ontemplatiou. It has secured
another mlroad ninety miles long, and while
ocatcu on the greatest system in the Seuth,
the Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia. It has just secured direct inde¬
pendent coaneotian with Chattanooga and
the W< st, and has the President Of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to its ultimate completion. With
its live white and three CJlored
ohurches, 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 has successfully
inaugurated a system of public schools, with
u seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the record of a half decade
and simply shows the progress of au already
admirable city, with the natural advantages
of having the finest climate, summer and
winter, in the world.
Griffin is the county scat of Spalding
county, situated in west Middle Georgia, with
a healthy, fertile and roiling country, ll. r >0
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 ail of the right
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
welcome strangers and anxious to secure de
sjrable settlers, who will not be any less wel
eome if they bring money to help build up
the town. There is about only ore 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

Birmingham, Dec. It. -—[Special.]—
There is absolutely no truth in the re¬
port that llawes lias made a confession,
lie says lie has made no confession, and
still doggedly maintains his innocence.
The terrible mvstery, notwithstand¬
ing the carnival of blood and death that
Birmingham has gone through with, is
yet unhappily unsolved The two ne¬
groes Walker Martin and Jeff Brown,
are still in jail. The mysterious trunk
has been more closely examined this
morning and blood spots discovered in
the bottom.
There is little doubt now in the mind:
of the officials that this trunk was used
to carry off the body of little Irene, but
it lias not yet been discovered. The
draining of the lake at Lakview pro¬
gresses slowly, although since the dis¬
covery of the trunk pver on the moun¬
tain, it is not thought that the body will
be found in tiie lake.
The soldiers are all here.
The governor lias issued i.o orders,
and it is hardly probable now that the
murderer—Hawes or his accomplice—
will be removed.
Sheriff •Smith has given $25,000 bond,
and the governor is going to reinstate
him in his position, and will order him
and Gol. Jones to take charge of the jail.

Washington, D. C\, Dec. 11.—The re¬
turns (ff average plantation price* of
cotton f.r all grade* reported the first of
December, show that they run a little
lowei than those of December, 1887.
The averages are a* follows: Virginia,
8.3 South cents Carolina, per pound; North Georgia, ( arolina, 8.5;
8.5; 8.5; Flori¬
da upland Iziuisiana, 8.-); Alabama, 8.6: Texas, 8.5; Mississippi,
8.5; 8,4; Arkansas,
8.5; Tennessee, 8.5. The average plan¬
tation value is nearly eight and one-half
cciiis. Distance to market and scarcity
of gins in M)tm> districts in Texas and
Honda make a slight reduction in price.
The vv. ather for jacking was only mod-
- rately favorable during the past month.
There has treeu a large numlier of rainy
day-, and killing fro-ts have generally
occurred couqaratively early in the
month.
