griffin is the county seat of Spalding coun¬

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 are all of the right
sjjrt—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
welcome strangers and anxious to secure de¬
sirable settlers, who will not be any less wel¬

need badly just now, and that is a big hotel.
We have several small ones, but their aecona ’
