Pike County Journal: “The Griffin

The paper now appears as the Gbif-

The Brunswick Times calls Griffin
the Experimental City. This is very
good, but almost toe dubious. Grif¬
fin is certainly willing to try many
experiments in the way of' progress,
including the experiment farm; but
it is no experiment as a city, having
long been an assured success in that
line.
J.C. Lifsey, of Lifsey’s Store, has a
curiosity in the Way of ahenegg. It is

there is no socket for the eyes. Only
a little painting with a lead pencil,
makes it a remarkable egg. The hen
that lays these eggs belongs to. J. J-
Moore and she has produced several
like it. They are about the size of a
common hen egg, with about the
same weight. It is an interesting

The Barnesville Gazette says : “Re¬
port says that a young man in Grif¬
fin during the last three months
drank three hundred glasses of beer,
and various other liquors. However
he says he has seen the error of his
way, and proposes a change. We
hope he can change.” When we re¬
flect that this is only a little over-
three glasses of beer a day, it does
not Item so very much after all.
Doubtless [there are invalids in Barnes
ville who purchased more than this
during the same time from the pub¬
lic dispensary.
An exchange very truly says: “A
live paper is characteristic of a pros¬
perous and growing city and vice
versa. When a city grows its paper
improves and its progresss is clearly
shown in its colums.” Every mer¬
chant and business man in a com¬
munity is vitally interested in sus¬
taining the local newspaper,’as it is a
recognized test of the life and public
enterprise of the city in which it is
published. Nothing promotes public
improvements more than a live news¬
paper, and a journal is almost whol¬
ly dependent upon the good will and
patronage of the local merchants.
JT WAS TEXAS CLOTHING
Which Mr. Simmons Distributed
Among His Friends.
Charleston S. C., May 28th 89,
To Editor Griffin Sun.
Dear Sir:—I notice that the Griffin
News of the 1.4 Inst, have my name
mixed up in a very disgraceful affair.
I only learned this today by a clip¬
ping sent me from the New^ by
friend in Griffin, or you would have
heard from me sooner. I am so it
seems connected with the burglary
of Cole & Ingram's store at Turin
Ga., and am wanted by the Macon
police, permit me to state through
the columes of your valuable paper
my account of the case. Upon Apr.
9th I was in Galveston Bexar Co
Texas, up to the 27 of April I was in
River Side Walker Co. Texas, on In¬
ternational and Great Northern R.R..
from the 27 up to the 80th of Apr
•was enroute to Griffin.
“It is impossible for a man to be in
two places at the same time.
When I came to Griffin I gave to
Mr. Lucious Simmons a coat, to Mr,
Wm. E. George a suit of clothes, and
I am perfectly willing that they
should be identified, the clothes were
bought in Houston Haris Co. Texas,
and paid for in hard cash having two
or tffree suits left, I tried to dispose
of them in Griffin but not getting a
reasonable offer and being about to
leave, and the express office -closed I
simply requested Charlie Manley to
forward them to a friend of mine in
Macon, a gentleman by the name of
Walter Southerland, he read them
0. K. I wrote to Charlie M&nley tell,
ing him of their safe arrival. If Messrs
Cole & Ingram desire to make the ac¬
quaintance of Willie O. Simmons I am
certainly at their service. From today
28th until the 1 of June I will be
found at the Charleston Hotel in
Charleston 8. C., from the 3rd, of
June, athomeinGriffin; “TheNEws”
also states that I have been engaged
in several shady affairs in Griffin.
“Well that’s news to me.” It Seems
the News has some special antipathy
against me, why I do not know, but
I suppose I am like the proverbial
yellow dog, viz. everybody is ready
to give him a kick
I do not suppose Capt. Wiley, of
Macon, wanted me, neither did detec¬
tive Shackelford. They both know
how to get a man when wanted as I
met them both face to face near the
Brown House in Macon, and spoke
to Capt.
I simply write this in justice to my¬
self and for toe benefit of my Griffin
friends. v
, Respectfully yours,
- Wills. O. Simmons.

HOW GRIFFIN PROPOSES TO
CELEBRATE 4TH OF JULY.
The Biggest Firemtuilc Tournament
Ever Been in Middle Georgla--

Committee. ' L
With all the prominence that has
recently been given to Griffin, we
need andean command the biggest
Fourth of July entertainment ever
given in the South,
It will advertise us and bring us
more money,than anything else
can do.
The best wa ? is to have a fireman’s
tournament, and we are going to
have it.
The size, of it depends upon onr
citizens.
On an impromptu and hasty can¬
vass yesterday enough was secured
to make the aifair.a success if every¬
body comes up as those who have
subscribed. And knowing the Bpirit
of our citizens we are satisfied that
all the companies in the State may
prepare for the finest contest they
have ***
evecseen.
At a meeting yesterday afternoon
Messrs. Huff, Morris, Mills, Glessner
and Daniel were appointed to contin¬
ue the collecting of subscriptions, and
they will proceed with the work today
and report at ageneral meeting of fire¬
men and citizens to be held at the
Greys’ armory at six o’clock this
evening. Let everyone be present
and assist toward making .the occa¬
sion a success, and let every one sub¬
scribe in the meantime, who has not
done so.
Fire companies abroad are apprW
ed to be in readiness for a more form*
al notice.
