’ Re CriFfin \ VOLUME 17 Griffin , Ga 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.

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.
