Grtflln to Have the Grandest Tourna¬
ment Ever Held in the State-
Tests and Prizes.
We have no hesitancy in saying that
the Firemens Tournament to be
held here on the 4th of July will be
the biggest thing of the kind ever
held in Georgia. The first prize
offered is as large as was ever offered
elsewhere, while the minor prizes are
such that one company by skill and
good luck can carry off more money
than from any similar occasion. The
fortunate company which can come
off victorious .in the first and se¬
cond tests and make best time to
plug will win #825, while with a
good runner in the foot race tills
may be farther increased to the
handsome aggregate of #845. This
is worth working for, and with the
central position and easy accessibili¬
ty of Griffin is bound to bring many
companies to contest.
Besides the firemen’s contests, there
is an attractive list of foot races
which wilt bring many to town to
witness and contest. It is the idea
of the committee to advertise the
affair well, and to make it a notable
day for Griffin.

and prizes:

Henry County Weekly: “The Grif¬

Thomaston Times: “W. E. H.
Searcy has sold the Griffin Daily Sun
to Mr. Douglas fllewner and the Sun
and News will be consolidated, and
thus give Griffin onegood daily. The
Farmer and Fruit Grower and the
Southern Alliance of Atlanta have
been consolidated, and Mr. Searcy
will edit it. We wish the united pa¬
pers much prosperity.”
Henry County Weekly: “Col. W.
E.. H, Searcy will move the Alliance
Journal: Farmer and Fruit Grower
to Atlanta, as its growth has been
so phenomenal that it is necessary
for him to seek a field where every¬
thing pertaining to the Alliance may
be secured for his paper. The Jour¬
nal is undoubtedly one of the fore¬
most Alliance organs in the south.”
By the following paragraph it
seems that the Constitution has at
last dropped onto Mr. Leak: "Mr-
8. G. Leak r the eminent poet, is still
sending contributions to the Consti¬
tution office, to the bottom of Which
his name is written. The signature
is probably meant to indicate that
he performed the manual labor of
writing them, as they were not ac¬
companied by the necessary nfflda-
vits.”
Th© entering wedge of a complaint that
may prove total is often a slight cold, which
a dose or two of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral
.might have cured at the commencement. It
would be well, therefore to keep this remedy
within reach at all times.

A Hotel Needed.
Inquiries are being received here
every day from people in South Geor¬
gia and Florida, who are looking for
pleasant {dace to spend the summer,
and if they could be accommodated,
our city would speedily be filled with
summer boarders. Other towns
around here are already being filled
with this class of summer visitors,
who, besides all other reasons for
having them, are an addition to so¬
ciety. This is in itself a great argu¬
ment for a hotel, and a large one,
such as we should have. Along with
the otheT improvements, this should
not be foxgotteu. A large handsome
hotel, with all the late Improvements,
and prdperly run would do us. more
good than any thing else, just at
present..

BE OF GOOD CHEER.
To the honest inquirer after truth, who,
troubled with some contagious blood dis¬
ease, seeks a remedy which will com.
pletely eradicate from his system every
germ oi blood poison, that the ones he
loves—his wife and his children—may be
saved, the experience of others comes as
a ’mighty revelation. Common sense tells
him actual results are the only sure proof
of curative virtue. Read the following
true testimony:
Twelve years ago I contracted a terri¬
ble case of blood poisoning. My affile-
tionwas truly horrible. I had no appe-
ulcers, and In fact I was a total wreck.
I had been under the treatment of several
of the leading physicians of Atlanta;
tried nearly every blood remedy adver¬
mained tised; went several to months, Hot Springs, receiving where I re. ,

to me.
