Some towns can haveget-np-and-git, while others are supremely blessed with sft-up-and-sit; the former gal¬ lop up to success, while the latter re¬ trograde into that state of decay de¬ scribed by Charles Dickens as ‘the dry rot.’”. Three new fancy groceries are to be opened in Griffin shortly. John Holman and J. A.

This gentle¬ man, while to a position as desirable as could b» found in the North, has a wife who suffers from the rigors of the Northern climate, and hence a change is desirable. He haa not forgotten Griffin, with which he was favorably impressed at the time, and was pleased with the ac¬ count of the many improvements that Mr. McCasian was able to re¬ count since bis visit here. He said he regarded Griffin as a fine point for a first-class female seminary—one that would cost about $50,000—and that he would be down here some time this fall for the purpose of looking into the matter and to make further investigations into the suitable¬ ness of Griffin as a winter resort. From the position that he occupies and our own personal knowledge of the Ohio gentleman, whose name is withheld at present for good reasons, w* are certain that be would not be connected with any institution not of the highest order, and Griffin may well congratulate herself if he should mature the plans mentioned. As to the many advantages of the place for such purposes, it will be easy to point them out when he comes. Bucklep’s Arnica Salve.

Smm Secant Railroad Transaction* and Their Effect on UrUBn-Tbe C. and M. Branch. It seems that President William¬ son, of the Chattanooga, Rome and Coinrobus railroad, will be able to gst into Griffin without the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama road. Upon his promise to build to the Georgia Midland and Gulf road if Columbus would raise $25,000, that amount was promptly subscribed by the citizen* of that go-ahead place, and It is said tnat work will begin at once. Connection will be made either at Woodbury or Warm Springs, and solid trains will be run through from Chattanooga to Columbus. Woodbury and Warm Springs are both nearer to .Griffin than to^Go- lumbus, and the road from Chatta. nooga to Griffin by this route will be as direct os from Chattanooga to Columbus, so that Mr. Williamson will come across to this point inde¬ pendent of the Central system. He has said, and Col. Machenhas said, that this waa the one lacking essential to the building of the branch of the Covington and Macon road from Monticello to Griffin. The Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus road wants au eastern outlet—the Covington and Maeon wants a west¬ ern outist. Eaeli can secure what it most wants by the building of this branch to Griffin. The logic of the situation favors the building of this connecting link. Both roads are doing a good local business, and each can do better still by a connection that will give them more territory. In connection with this promised speedy extension of tbeChattanooga, Rome and Columbus road, thefollow- ing from thelastissue of tbe Jackson Argus is most significant: “WILL IT BE BUILT? IT LOOKS THAT “way. “The Argus readers will remember that some months ago we said in these columns that tits Griffin branch of the Covington and Macon railroad was „ ‘This not morning dead, bat asleep. that it we can say has partially waked from its slum¬ ber* and new interest is being taken in its construction. New surveyors arrived in town last night and this morning left for Griffin, looking over the old road bed. They were accom¬ panied by Mr. Sam McKibben. “Major Key was in Jackson this morning looking after the road, and while he was somewhat reticent as to the plans of th* headworkers of the enterprise, ple he said we could intended tell our stop peo¬ that never to work “The until Argus the fa road was enthused, complete. and a»ain thinks the road will be bnilt at an early day.” THE COLUMBUS SOUTHERN. Heavy trains of steel rails have been passing through Griffin for weeks past over the Georgia Midland to be laid on the tracks of the Colum¬ bus Southern road, which fa now in process of rapid construction. This road .built by the friends and.projec- tors of the Georgia Midland, will give a competing line to Florida, where it will connect with the Florida Central and Peninsula railroad, with its six hundred miles of railway al¬ ready constructed. THE COLUMBUS AND ROME ROAD. That the management of the Cen¬ tral railroad believes that William¬ son fa in thorough earnest about his proposed extension to the Georgia Midland road, is shown by the man¬ ner in which they are trying to nega¬ tive its effect by the building of the Columbus and Rome road to New- nan. The Savannah News of recent date contained the following account of an interview with President Alex¬ ander: “How fa your Columbus, Greenville and Newnan extension getting along?” General E. P. Alexander was asked yesterday. The General replied that the road is a part of the Savannah and West era system, and $300,000 of the bonds of the Savannah and Western were reserved to change the narrow gauge road from Columbus to Green¬ ville to standard gauge and to ex¬ tend the road from Greenville to Newnan. Gsb. Alexander says that a survey tog corps has been put on this week to locate the road from Greenville to Newnan, and it mar connect with the road at Sharps burg. The work of widening the track between Co¬ lumbus and Greenville is under way, and it fa expected that by next spring the road wffl be in operation, “is it a scoop?” In the meantime the Atlanta and Florida road seems to have been gobbled up by the Richmond Termin¬ al system; though what it wants with tbe road fa hard to say. The board of new ‘directors of this road was elected recently and pub¬ lished in the News Aim Sun. Wednesday the tew directors mst and sleeted tbe following offers: Colonel R. F. Maddox, president. Mr. Cecil Gabbett, 1st Vice Presi¬ dent and General Manager. Mr. E. W. Marsh, 2nd Vice Presi¬ dent. Mr. R. J. Lowry, treasurer. 5S- ■ * tSpwBvsa ............ . i secretary. road which, is a part of the Terminal system. * President Maddox says positively that his road has not been sepoped, and tbeelectioa of Mr. Gabbett was purely accidental- Mr. Gabbett has stock in the road. 4 Col. Maddox says there has been a negotiation looking to thsseBing out to tbs Richmond terminal crowd, but that is now off and they do not con¬ template, directly or indirectly, to allow them by any means to get con¬ trol of the road. All the same, the Atlanta Journal broadly intimates that the A. & F. has been scooped; and anch“acciden- tiai” elections certainly make st range coincidences. ~ Good-bye to Atlanta’s great inde¬ pendent transcontinental line! THE MARIETTA AND NORTH GEORGIA. Now it Seems that another new Georgia road wants connection with Griffin’s successful independent sys¬ tem. We do not know what there is in it, but find the following in a late issneof the Henry County Weekly: Below we give the contents of a letter written by Mr. W. G. Whidby always 1 tions to railroad enterprises, and we think just now, as such a fine chance presents themselves itself for direct our people with to North con¬ nect Georgia that they shonid not lose the “It opportunity. is people have been true our taxed enormously to build the G. M. & G. railroad, but if we could give the same enterprise another boost it would be to the interest of all parties concerned: Here is the letter : Cedabtown, Ga., Aug. 13,1889. itors Weekly—How will it suit the >ple of McDonough to have the Marietta & North Georgia rail road extended via Decatur and Clarkston to McDonough to connect with the Georgia Midland ?

Th# house near Mrs. H. A. Hin¬ ton’s, about 3% miles northwest of here, was burned last Saturday night. There is no dount at all as to the house being set on fire, and we trust that the parties who did the dastardly work maybe captured and reap the fu'l extent of the law. N. T.

Its record lor the past half decade, its many new enterprise* in oper- ation, building and contemplated, prove this o le a business statement and not a hyper- oiie&l description. During that time it has built and put into most successful operation a f100,000 cotton actory and with this year started the wheels of a second of more than twice that capital. It has put up a large iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer factory, au immense ice and bot¬ tling works, a sash and blind factory, a broom factory, opened up the finest granite quarry in the United States, and now has Our large oil mills in more or less advanced stages of construction, with an aggregate au¬ thorized capital of over half amillion dollars. It is putting up the finest system of electric ighting that can be procured, and ha* ap¬ plied for two charters for street railways. It has secured another railroad ninety miles long, and while located on the greatest system in the South, the .Central, has secured connec¬ tion with its important nval, the East Ten¬ nessee, Virginia and Georgia. It has obtain¬ ed direct independent connection with Chat tanooga and the West, and will break ground n a few days fora fourth road, connecting with a fourth independent system. With its five white and fourcolored church¬ es, it has recently completed a $10,000 new Presbyterian church. It has increased its ul&tio* by nearly one fifth. It has attracted around its borders fruit growers from nearly every Stats in the Union, until it i* now sur¬ rounded on nearly every side by orcharde and vineyards. It has put up the largest fruit evaporators in th* State. It is the home of thsgrape andits winemakingcapacity has doubled every year. It has successfully in¬ augurated a system of public schools, -with a seven years curriculum, second to none. This is part of the record of a half decode and simply shows the progress of an already admirable city, with the natural advantages of having the finest climate, summer and winter, in the world. •tiffin is the county seat of Spalding coun¬ ty, situated in west Middle Georgia, with a healthy, fertile and rolling country, 1150 feet above sea level. By the census oi 189W, it will have at alow estimate between 6 000 and T,000 people, and they are all of the right sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to welcome strangers and anxious to Becure de¬ sirable settlers, who will not be any less Wel¬ come if they bring money to help build up the own.
