It is putting up the finest system

lias secured another rail road ninety miles long,
and while located on the greatest system in
the South, the Central, has secured connec¬

With Mb five white and fourcoloreil church

admirable city with the natural advantages
of having the finest climate, summer and
wiuter, in the world.
Griffin 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 of 1S90, it
will have at alow estimate between 6 000 and
7,000 people, and they are all of the right
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
welcome strangers and anxious to secure de¬
sirable settlers, who will not be any less wel
some if 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 accomj

settled upon by congress, and the gen¬

down ifi%-committee room. It is pro¬
posed now that more power be given to
the navy department.
It has always been maintained by
naval officers that the practice of con¬

the board of officers appointed for that
purpose. It is believed by the depart¬

that the
