GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, U 8. A,
Griffln in the b«rt and mont promising little
jty in the South. Its record lor the post
|,olf decade, its many new enterprises in oper¬
ation, building and contemplate*!, prove this
o te a business statement and not a hyper-
olicol description.
Daring that time it has built and pnt into
most successful operation a $100,000 cotton
artory and wit? 1 this year started the wheels
ut a second of more than twice that capital.
Jt has put up a large iron and brass fonndry,
• fertiliser factory, an immense ice and bot¬
tling works, a sash aul 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 lees advanced
stages of construction, with an aggregate nu-
thorised capital of over half amilhon dollars.
It is putting up the finest system of electric
i ghting that can be procured, and has ap-
plied for ted oharters for street railways. It
has secured another railroad ninety miles long,
end while located on the greatest system in
the 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
tauooga and the West, and will break ground
na few days for a fourth road, connecting
with a fourth independent system.
With its five white and fonrcolored church¬
es, it has recently completed a $10,000 new
Presbyterian church. It has increased its pop¬
ulation by nearly one fifth. It has attracted
around its borders fruit growers from nearly
every State in the Union, until it in now sur¬
rounded on nearly every side by orchards
and vineyards. It has put up the largest
fruit evaporators in ths State. It is the home
of the grape and its wine making capacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully in¬
augurated a system of public schools, with a
■even years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of ths record of a half decade
and simply shows ths progress of an already
admirable city, with the natural advantages
•(having the finest climate, summer and
winter, in 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 eea level. By the census of 1890, it
will have ot 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 said anxious to secure de¬
sirable settlers, who will not be any less wel¬
comed they bring money to help build up the
own. There is about only one thing we
need badly just now, and that is a big hotel.
We have several small ones, but their aecom
modations are entirely too limited for our
usine s, pleasure and health seeking guests.
If you sse anybody that wants a good loca¬
tion for a hotel to the South, jurt mention
Griffin.
Griffin is the place where the Griffin News
s published—daily and weekly—the best news¬
paper in tilt Empire State of Georgia. Please
enclose stamps in sending for sample copies,
