Griffin ,
Griffin is tbe liveliest, pluckiest, most |>ro
greoite town in Georgia. This is no hjpcr
oil cal descri. tion, as the record of the last
(Ire years will show. «
During that time it has built and put into
most successful operation a $100,000 cotton
faotory and Is now building another with
nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up a
arge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac-
ory, sa immense ice and. bottling works, a
sash and blind factory, a byoom faotory
opened up the finest granite quarry in the
United State*, and has many other enter¬
prises in -outeinplation. It has secured
another ..ttlroad ninety miles long, and while
ooateu on the greatest system in thcJSeuth,
the Central, haa secured connection with ih>
important rival, the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia. It has just secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
lie Wist, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing _ here and working
to its ultimate completion. With
ts live white and three colored
ohurchcs, it is now building a $10,000 new
Pre-byterian churob. It has increased its
population by nearly one fifth. It has at.
traded arouud its borders fruit growers from
nearly every State in tbe Union, until it is
now surrounded on nearly every side by or¬
chards and vineyard. It js/hfi home of the
grape and its wine making eapasity lias
doubled every year. It has Successfully
inaugurated a system of ptiblie sciioojs, yvifU
u seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the record of a half decade
and simply shows the progress of nn already
admirable city, with the natural advantages
of having tha finest climate, summer and
winter, in tbe world.
Griffin is .tbe county scat of Spalding

7,(MX) people, and they are all of the right
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready te
