f Orijfin,
Griffin is the liveliest, pluckiest. most pro
B grctaive town in Georgia. '11*18 U n<* hjpcr
rfleal descrii tion, M the record of the lust
Bre years will show.
During that time it ha* built a id pot into
Boat successful operation a <100,000 cotton
factory and is now building another with
nearly twice the capital. It has pat up a
targe iron sad bras* foundry, a fertiliser fai
ory, an immense ice and bottling works, a
iaah and blind factory, a broom factory
epeaed up the finest granite quarry in the
Vuited State*, and has many other enter¬
prises >u -outemplatiou. It has secured
another abroad ninety miles long, and while
ooatcu on the greatest system iu the South,
the Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia, It has just secured direct inde-
peuileat eoirowStion with Chattanooga and
he Wi st, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to its ultima'e completion. With
ta five white and three colored
churches, it is now building a $10,000 new
Pre-byterian church. It lias increased its
population by nearly one fifth. It haB at.
traded around its borders fruit growers from
nearly every State in the" Uni.-n, until,ir is
now surrounded on nearly every side by or¬
chards and vineyard . It is the home of the
grape and its wine making eapasity has
doubled every year. It has successfully
inaugurated a system of public solioo’s, Witl.
a seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the record of a half decade
and simply shows the progress of an already
admirable city, with the natural advantages
of having the finest climate, summer and
winter, in the world.
Griffin 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, it
will have at a low estimate between 6,000 and
7,000 people, and they are all of the right
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
welcome strangers and anxious to secure de
tirable settlers, who will not be any less wel
tome if they bring money to help build up
the town. There Is about only one thing we
seed 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 wants a good loca¬
tion for « hotel in the South, just mention
Gridin.
Griffin is the place where the GaitriN
News is published—daily and weekly—the
isMi newspaper in the Empire State of the
Georgia, Please enclose stamps in sending

This bnet SKeteii will answer July 1st

British Authority lidlievei

London, Dec. 17.-[Special. ]-Lord
Salisbury _ has held a private interview
of protracted duration with the queen
manifestly with the object of paving the
way for a ministerial council at Wind¬
sor tc-day or to-morrow, when theSua-
kiui policy of tin; government will he

Lord Salisbury lias resolved to make a
determined tight against the tory-Jemo-
erat leader, if not. against ltis entire tine
of argument with reference to the new
Egyptian already campaign. The premier lias
rid; gone s > far that he cannot afford
to a Change of tactics, and th •
queen's sanction of his | rograrmne is
absolutely of its necessary lo the canying out
details, whicli cannot be deviated
from on the strength of the enemy’s
documents.
The fact that Osman Digna's tetter
was addressed to the Christian gov¬
ernor of Suafeim is portentious,
however, and indicates that iie is
willing to treat directly with the
in English, entirely ignoring the Egyptians
the transaction. There is no doubt
that England alone can ar.-ive at dofinite
terms of peace, an i Osman Digna, who
is half European himself .unquestionably
favors such a conclusion of hostilities.
The only complication involved in this
mode of settlement is the fact that Eng¬
land is specifically pledged to maintain
the supreu acy of the khedive, but even
this obstacle may be surmounted by dip¬
Sail lomacy or will chicanery. Any way, Lord
bury attempt to solve tile prob¬
lem and extricate England from her di¬
lemma Mr John on Monday. Coles librarian the
the of
British Geographic society, e.\( ressos his
belief in an interview this afternoon that
Stanley is a prisoner in the hands of the
mahdi. This theory, lie asserts, is the
only one accounting for Stanley's long
silence. The mahdi is friendly to
the Zanzibaris, and this fact,
ho assumes, renders it likely
that Stanley and Turin were s.mounded
in their stockade b the n.tise- until
their provisions gave out, when they
surrendered to the Zanzibar.-, to save
their ow n live.;, and were turned over to
the mahdi for a consideration.
The tory press arc diligently throwing
doubts upon Osman Digna's story, an-1
in doing so are possibly preparing tile

Carpet Strike Imminent. -
New Yokk, Dec. 17.—[Special.]—A
strike is imminent in tiie carpet factory
of E. S. Higging at Eleventh avenue and
Fifty-third street. The - cause of the
trouble is a proposed reduction of wages.
The reduction was ordered November
12th, but owing to the inteferenco of
Carpet Workers' local assembly No. 128
it was postponed. It is believed by the
employes that if they should submit to
the order decreasing their compensation
that another cut-down will be made in
the spring. It is, therefore, improbable
that the strike can be averted, and the
general impression is that a long national and bit¬
ter tight will take place. The
board of carpet weavers will meet in
and Philadelphia for this week to devise ways
