Griffin U lUe liveliest, vlnokioat, most pro
t ressive town in Georgia. This is no by per
ollcal description, as the record of the last
Ore years will show.
Oaring that time It has built and pat into
most successful operation a f100,000 cotton
factory and is now building another with
nearly twiee the capital. It has pat up a
i*t ge iron and brass foundry, a fertiliser fac-
ory, a» immense ice and bottling works, a
yash sad blind factory, a broom factory
opened up the flnegt granite quarry in the
Vuited State", and has many other enter¬
prises in -outemplatiou. It has secured
another allroad ninety miles long, and while
ooateu on the greatest system iu the South,
the Central, has secured connection witli it#
important rival, the East Tennessee, Virginia
and (ieox#**. Ithas juat secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
the Writ, and has the President ef a fourth
railroad reaidiug here and working
to ita ultima'e completion. With
Us five white snd three oolored
churches, it is now building a $10,000 new
Pre-byteriau ebnroh. It has Increased its
population by nearly oue 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-
chaids 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 publiosclioo's, with
a 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
ot having the finest climate, summer and
winter, in the world.
Griffin is the county seal of Spalding
county, situated in west Middle Geo- gia, with
a healthy, fertile and rolling country, 1150
foot above sea level. By the census of 1890, it
will have at a low estimate between 6,000 and
7,000 people, and they era all of the light
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
weleouie strangers and anxious to secure de
sirable settlers, who will not be any less wel
eome if they bring money to help build np
the town. There is about only on* thing we
need badly just now, and 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 wauts a good loca¬
tion for a hotel in the South, just mention
Griffin.

London, Dec. 14. —[Special.]— It is
rumored that Osman Digna has offered
to give up Stanley uu 1 Emin, ills prison¬
ers, if Egypt will abandon Suakim; oth¬
erwise they will be killed. The cabinet
is now discussing the offer.
The press is excited over the report,
and urge the cabinet to abandon all petty
differences while human life is in peril,
and to accept the rebel chiefs offer with
out parley. The Times suggests that in
case it should prove a subterfuge, ticaty
should be made permitting the British
army to remain at the works in order to
recommence operations.

London, Dec. 18.—The Standard ays
it lias reason to believe that a letter re¬
ceived at Suakim from Osman Digna,
stated that the Muh.li's lroo,»3hadat

held out bravely,but his men mutineered
and delivered him, with the white trav¬
eler, (supposed to be Stanly), to the Mah-
di's leaders. Digna sends proofs tend¬
ing to support the tfuth of his asser¬
tions.

C. Platt says the press story that Blaine

Members of congress from Blaine's state

It is officially stated thut the president

Denver, Col., Dei’. 14.—Okl Colorow,
the White river chief, is dead. He died
at his camp near the mouth of the White
river, a few miles from Ouray Indian
agency, of pneumonia.
Colorow has been under military sur¬
veillance of this post since the confer-
erence of Gen. Oroide with Gov. Adams
at Meeker in September. 1887. Since
that time the whereabouts of the old
man have teen known at all times to the
commander of this post. Since the at.
tack upon his camp near Meeker by
Sheriff Kendall he has never passed east
of the reservation line, and has always
accused the settlers of White river of
hypocrisy sionate and betrayal. He had a pas¬
driven regard for White river, and
when to the reservation located
his people on that stream, only a few
miles above the agency. Colorow has
been feeblo for some months, and was
given his permission to go with a few of
followers to the mountains south
of the post during the summer
months to get the benefit of the cool
atmosphere dai it of a higher altitude. A few
s ago was announced that he was
sick an 1 a phi sician was sent to attend
him. He at once taw that pneumonia
had fastened its death fangs upon him,
and so stated to his friends. Great con¬
sternation was at once apparent, and to
the hour of his death manifestations of
gloom became noticed. The squaws of
his tribe stole off to the willows on the
river banks, cut their hair and otherwise
gave vent to their grief at the approach¬
ing demise of the great chieftain.
When visited by an interpreter and
asked if he wanted to talk before dying,
the old fellow at first thoughtfully snook
his head and followed by saying he had
been wronged and persecuted by the
whites, and that some of his own people
(the White River Utes) had talked two
ways, meaning that they iiad deceived
him. Upon being questioned regarding
the report ho had caused to be
sent to the department at Wash¬
ington relating to his losses, he said with
one lias exception always allowed his claims the were impression true. He

prevail that some of his followers were
Killed at Rangely, and upon his death¬
bed denied the same. He said none
were killed, but he wanted the govern¬
ment to think so, believing thereby tc

the two
Indians who Kendall tried to arrest, stole
the horses, but he offered to let the of¬
fended parting select any two horses out
of his band to satisfy them, which offei
was refused. Just a few minutes before
the old chief died he called Gua, his son,
to him, and asked to be taken out to the
bank of White River, where lie was laid
on his blankets and died among the wil¬
lows of the stream upon which ho hao
passed the most of hi* years.
