f an already
admirable city, with the natural advantages

Griffin is the county seat of Spalding coun¬
ty, situated in west Middle Georgia, with a
healthy,fertile and rolling country, 1150 feet
above sea level. By the cen ras of 1890, it
will have at alow estimate between 6 00Q and
7,000 people, and they are all of the right
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
welcome strangers an.d anxious to secure de-
sirable settlers, who will not be any less wel-
some if„they bring money to help build up the
town. There is about only one thing.we
need badSy just now, and that ia 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 loea-
tfoajor a hotel in the South, just mention
paper to the Empire State of Georgia. Please
enclose stamps in sending for sample 1 copies,
and descriptive pamphlet of Griffin.)
This brief sketchis written April 12th, 1889,
and will have to be changed in a few months
to embrace new enterprises commenced and

Between the Civil Service Commission and

W/.sMlNBTOH, May 7.—The biggest task
ever undertaken by the civil service oomniis-'
siou was assumed when it took charge of the
5,000 employee of the railway mail service.
There is tienfakas ■«», SaSi. spili^ : • >1 ssi 1119 ^ liw u.pin -sii ii
, i
signs point to a row between the so-called
civil service commission, which at present
consist* of one mugwump member, and tile
railway mail service officials.
Where the Trouble Comes In.
Under the rules when a call is made for a
postal clerk'three name* will be submitted
for each man wanted, ahd from these ap-'
pototees will be selected. Here comes iu
the difficulty, as the officials have been un¬
able to devise a scheme whereby men can be
selected who live adjacent to the railroad
lines on which they are to lie employed, as
lt is very necessary they should do.
Under the rules tha railway mail superin¬
tendent only designates in his call for clerks
the states to which they are to be charged.
Whether they pro wanted for railroad lines
in the north, east, west or south part of the
state, the civil service commission is notsup-
posed “sssjfi to be informed, “ and in fact declines to
n ,
IpoSei
own a home in St. Louis.
A Suggestion.
It has been suggested that the railway
mail officials be given authority to look over
the list of eligibles and select men who live
adjacent to the railway lines for which the
men are to be appuuted. This the civil
service commission will uot agree to for fear
the enforcement might be used iu tbe inter¬
est of qjen eadorssd by the politicians. The
commission at the same time expresses it*
inability or disinclination to study up the
a, cation of railway lines and mail routes in
order to select men who live near to them.
The only alternative, therefore, is for a gen¬
eral order to be issued compelling ail postal
clerks to reside on the line of the railroad on
which they are to be employed. H.
The postofflea officials think such an order
is the only solution of the problem. They
do not expect to get a first-class set of clerks
through the tortuous workings of the civil
service examination aad e selection, and for

The Supreme Court.
Washington, May 7.—Soon after the ad¬
journment next Monday of the supreme
court for the summer vacation, Chief Justice
Fuller will go to Charleston for a while, and
then to Chicago, and it is probable that he
will remain ia that city the greater portion
.of the summer. The chief justice speaks en¬
couragingly of tlie progress of business be¬
fore the supreme court. The term about to
close he says, will show that a little has been
gained since it began. Gases that in the
ordinary course of supreme court proceedure
would have required three years to be
reached, have been settled iu two years and
eight months. the chief
Tbs business before the court
justice thinks could intermediate be expedited by appellate the es-
sti’.biisiiment of an or

tor Davis’ bill.
‘•This plan,’’ Chief Justice Fuller says,
“wa.t tried in Illinois, and aoout two years
ago the supreme court of that state was en¬
abled to catch tip with business that had ac-
cumu’.aU‘don the docket. While it might not
have such luck in t in sn weaaa court of the

at that port, lias, it is said, been decided
upon at the state d rwnmaat few consul

tributed to the c ose isrsonal and
friendship existing between Gou. King and
Secretary Blaine. lUm. King’s name was
mentioned early for e iliestor of the port of
Baltimcre, and tbe iulluence of Mr. Blaine
would perhaps have s cored tho appoint¬
ment, but, for the decision of the cabinet offi¬
cers at their first meeting not to interfere
with matters in other department* tim
their own., Geu. King, it is stated, has bad
the Paris appointment under consideration
for some time, hesitating to go abroad on
account of business interests requiring his
presence in Baltimore. It is Upderstood in
Washington, however, that be will conclude
to accept the consul generalship, which ia
both an honorable and profitable position.

of tiie summer in the mountains of West

portion of summer have been completed by
the president, who wished to hare hit famUy

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA. THU
A NEW WRINKLE
Either Administration.
stows, O., May 7.—Tha chuuge in
administration has caused a curious state
affairs at {forth Jackson, this county.
tha former Republican administra¬
tion George W, Shaffer waa for many year*
postmaster, running tbe offles in con¬
with his store. Whan Mr. Cleve¬
took charge of government affairs Mr.
Shaffer waa retired, and Edward Foulk, a
Democrat, waa appointed as his successor,
and Still botes the appointment. Mr. Foulk
promptly removed tha office to hia store, la
which his brothel-, George Foulk, is a part¬
ner. The latter is an ardent Republican,
and has made application for the postmas-
terehip, to succeed his brother, and, If suo-
cessful, will allow the office to remain where
itia. ■-
Another of the Same Sort.
Lapobte, Lid., May 7.—At Stillwell, tide
county, two brothers are in partnership in
carrying on a country store. One of them
is a Democrat while the other ft a Republi¬
can. The brother who i* « Democrat has
had charge of the postofflea until recently,
when tiie Republican brother was appointed
postmaster. Thus they hold tbe postofiloe
just the same. This ia a new wrinkle in the
postoffleeUne, and works under either nd-

Baffled Boomers Destitute end Anxious

Arkansas Crrr, Kan., May 7.—Tbe suf¬
fering of the boomers finds most prominent
evidence along this northern border. Sun¬
day 1,M» wagons on tiie man* down and
800 wagons on the way back were counted.
The groves in the Arkansas and Wabmt
river valleys, that afforded camps for the
boomers before tha daacent, are filling again
with the returning unfortunates. There
are hundreds of families among them who
have arid everything to make the trip and
now have nothing left The tight of men,

Oklahoma City is the most promising town
site. Capt Crouch, the old successor to
Boomer Payne, was Saturday elected mayor,
defeating a preacher whose platform was
against gambling and whisky. As long as
tint latter is excluded, as it is now, serious
trouble cannot occur in Oklahoma.
The Marshals Did Tlietr Duty.
Springfield, III., May 7.—Referring to
tbe charges of land-grabbing in Oklahoma
by deputy United States marshals, Maj.
Bluford Wilson, who baa just returned from
that territory, says the marshals are in no
“It tenot true,” said he, “that Marshals
Needles and Jones, or their deputies, have
seized upon and occupied the best tends.
There have been no frauds committed by
deputy marshals. They not only respected
the law themselves, tot they forced others
to respect them.
“In spite of tbe diligence and of tbe sol¬
diers and the deputies, the country was full
of skulkers, many of whom sought to enter
upon and occupy tends long prior to high
noon of April 22, and wherever this was ob¬
served the sneaks were summarily ejected,
and it is largely from this class that the cries
of fraud against tiie deputise have ema¬
nated. they have filled the ears of the col¬
umns of the press and the department of
officials at Washington with their outcries.
These skulkers have combined, and are
making common cause with others who lost

THE SIOUX’8 L AND8.
White Men Appropriating Part of the
Reservation In Northern Nebraska,
i Yankton, Dak., May 7 .— Between the
Niobrara river and the Missouri, and be¬
tween the Niobrara river and the Keys
Paha river ia a point of the tend embraced
within the great Sioux reservation. The
progressive white man has fastened his
covetous eyes upon tltis patch of grounds.
Bottlers are assembling at Niobrara and are
quietly tipping across the Niobrara river
and occupying claim* upon the tract above
described.
They are occupying it se individuals and
colonies, but as they increase in number
they will doubtless organise for mutual pro¬
tection and defense. Under the several acta
of recognition by tbe government this is
Sioux territory. It does act becomes part
of the state of Nebraska until the Indian
title is extinguished. The Indian's title can
only be extinguished by treaty agreements.

MACHINERY HALL.
Hitherto, in 1867 and 1878, she has had
world's fairs, which wars at those times the
greatest yet held. The third, which was
opened Sunday, far exceeds them in magni¬
tude, importance and splendor as human
achievements of the present surpass In 1878 thosqpf there
even the proximate past
were displayed inventions that in 1867 would
have been esteemed chimerical; this year, in
turn, sees an array that scarcely the wildest
enthusiast had dreamed of eleven years ago.
The actual physical extent of the present ex¬
hibition correspondingly goes beyond that
of its predecessors. The exposition covers 192
ares.
The gardens' of the Hotel das Invalides French
contain tha exhibitions of the
colonies, of the several ministers and of
social economy. At the Qua! d’Orsay are
the halls of agriculture, viticulture, fisheries
and general food products. The Troeadero
gardens are given up to fruits and flowers
in the open air and iu glasshouses. The
ijBDJnps Q0 Ja&rs, whotb b c ‘, u i on KfflW the
of tbe great opening scenes of the revolution
were enacted.
At the entrance, spanning the gateway
with the vast archways of it* base, rises tiie
gigantic Eiffel tower, 808 metres high. Pass¬
ing underneath it the Central gardeu is
reached. This has a monumental fountain

in the middle, and is surrounded by build¬
ings containing exhibitions of fine arta,
belles lettres, the liberal arts, and various
department* of industry.
These buildings stand on parallel lines and
are crossed iu their axis by a high gallery
surmounted by a dome which lead* to the
hall of machinery. The cost of the build¬
ings in the Champs de Mars, exclusive of the
Eiffel tower, has been about *4,000,000, and
itia intended that they shall remain aa per¬
manent structure*. exposition Tho total outlay author¬
ized for the entire is *8,600,000, of
which *600,000 is held as a reserve fund.
The earthworks required a removal of
7,500,000 oubio feet, The drains and water-
pipes of the Camps de Mars were lengthened
by about two miles, and more than 40,000
tons of iron aiid steel were used by tbe
builders. The toll of machinery is 1,899 feet
long and 159 feet high, covered with a roof
of iron, wood and glass, having a span of
360 feet in the clear, the greatest ever at¬
tempted. A gallery extends around the in¬
terior for the display of the lighter classes of
machinery and from end to end run four un¬
broken lines of shafting The ton ia distributing derived from the
