GRIFFIN, GEOBfilA, U. S. A.
Griffin I* the brat and moot promising
city in the South. Its record for the
half deeade, its many new enterprises in
ation, building and contemplated, prove
o be a business statement and not a
bolical description. .
During that thus it has built and put
most successful operation a #100,000
actofry and with this year started the
of a second of more than twice that
ft has put up a large iron and brass
a fertiliser factory, an immense ice and
tling works, a sash and blind factory,
broom factory, opened up the finest
quarry in the United States, and now has
our large oil mills in more or less advanced
stag** Of Construction, with an aggregate au-
thoriced capital of over hali a million dollars.
Pfted for two charters for street railways. It
• hassecured another railroad ninety miles long,
and while located on the greatest system in
$he South. the Central, has secured connec¬
tion with its important rival, the East Ten¬
nessee, Virginia and Georgia. It has obtain¬
ed direct independent connection with Chat-
t&nooga altar‘Says' and the West, and will break ground
In ’ lor ‘a fourth road,' connecting
with a fourth independent system.
With its five white and four colored church¬
es, it has recently completed a #10,000 new
Presbyterian church. Ithosincreaseditspop-
ulatioa by nearly one fifth. It has attracted
around its borders fruit growers from nearly
every State to the Union, until it is now sur¬
rounded on nearly every side by orchards
and vineyards. It has put up the largest
to the State. It is the home

. It has successfully in-
i of public schools, with a
um, second to none.
I the record of a half decade
and simply sk ows the progress of an already
admirable city, with the natural advantages
of having the finest climate, summer and
winter, to the world.
Griffin is the county seat of Spalding coun¬
ty, situated to west Middle Georgia, with a
healthy; fertile and rolling country, 1150 feet
above sea level. By the , census of 1890, it
will have at alow estimate between 6 000 and
7,000 people, and they ore 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-
soraeif.they bring money to help build up the
town. There is about only one thing we
nebf badly just Bow, and that is a big hotel.
We have several small ones, but their accom¬
modations are entirely too limited for our
brndne**, pleasure and health seeking guests.
If you see anybody that wants a good loea-
*a hotel to the South, just mention

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,
