Grittin U the liveliest, pluckiest, most
preesiT* town in Georgia. This Is no hiper
olleal description, as the record of the
lire years will show.
Daring that time it has built and pot
moat successful operation a 1X00,000
factory and is now building another
nearly twioe the capital. It has pat up
targe iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer
ory, an immense ice and battling works,
sash and blind factory, a broom
opened up the finest granite quarry in
United State*, and has many other
prises in .ontemptation. It has
another ail road ninety miles tong, and
oeateu ou the greatest system in the
the Ceutral, has secured connection with
important rival, the Bast Tennessee,
and Georgia. It has just secured direct
penoeat connection with Chattanooga
the Wi st, and has the President of a
railroad residing here and
to its ultima!? completion.
ts fire white and three
ehurcbea, it is now building a inoriased $10,000
Presbyterian ohuroh. It has
* population by nearly one fifth. It has
tracted around its borders fruit growers
nearly every State In the Union, until it
now surrounded ou nearly every side by
chards and vineyard. It Is the home of
grape and its wine making capacity
doubled every year- It has
Inaugurated a system of public soliools,
a seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the reoord of a half
and simply shows the progress of an
admirable city, with the natural
of having the finest climate, summer
winter, in the world.
Oriflln is the county teat of
county, situated in west Middle Geo' gia, with
a healthy, fertile and rolling oountry,
fast above sea level. Jty the census of 1890,
will have at a low estimate between 8,000
7,000 people, and they are all of the
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready
weieome strangers and anxious to secure
sirable settlers, who will not be any less wel
some if they bring money to help build np
the town. There Is about only one thing
need badly just now, and that is a big hotel
We have several small ones, but their
modations are entirely too limited for
business, pleasure and health seeking guests.
If you see anybody that wants a good loca¬

course, does not affect the justice of the
demand, but it serves, and will continue
to serve as an excuse for inaction. The
