This is port'of the record of ti half decade
and simply sh ows 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 coun¬
ty, situated m west Middle Georgia, with a
healthy, fertile and rolling country, 1160 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¬
sirable settlers, who will not be any less wel-
some il.thcy bring money to help bnild up the
town. There is about only one thing we
used badly just now. and that is a big hotel.
We have several small onss, but their accom¬
modations an entirely too limited for our
business, pleasure and health seeking guests.

This brief sketch is written April 12th, 1889,
and will have to be changed in a few months
to embrace new enterprises commenced and
completed.
