ONE OF THE THREE FIRST CITIES OF GEORGIA.

We can advertise a city, get new people and fresh nponey to come, but the future after all lies with ourselves. Griffin fortunately has found this out and is acting upon it . Ten years ago her citizens were sitting, dowu, and wishing vainly for some one else to come along and help to build up the town. Ever? thing was at a standstill and everybody in the old ruts. Population remained station¬ ary and the advent of a new settler in the community was a nine days wonder. How different now! Large factor¬ ies have been built and their number and size increased each year; new railroads have been wrested from rival cities and turned through ofir streets; enterprises unthought of have been conceived and carried into successful operation, and a new spirit animates the whole communL Look at what has been done dur¬ ing the nine months of the year not yet gone. - A great new industry has been ad¬ ded to the town in the manufacture of cotton seed oil. The State experiment (arm has been located here against the com¬ petition of the richest and most powerful communities in the State. A new bank has been established with $100,000 capital. This a few years ago would hare been consider¬ ed something to stop and rest upon for a quarter decade; but it is now in successful operation as one of the | established institutions of the town, and within fifteen weeks after it opened its doors, in one hour’s eanvass last week more than enough shares were subscribed for another new bank with $50,000 capital. A liberal subscription has been raised for a new railroad which is. bound to be built. - A company has been formed, with $25,000 capital, with a coutractto furnish the city with the best elec¬ tric lights to be had. These are simply the more impor¬ tant things that hare been done. Numerous smaller enterprises need not be mentioned to fill out this large list. ’ ; -• But a city is sometimes judged as, much by what it attempts as by what it succeeds in doing. Although not hilly belidHngdn its benefit,Grif¬ fin no longer stands back when any¬ thing of even possible advantage may be obtained, and thus was one of the three bidders for the Alliance Exchange. While we failed to se¬ cure it, it placed ns in the same class and advertised ns alongside of At¬ lanta and Cordele—the first the most successful city in the State and one of the beet known for enterprise on the continent; the second a new town that is being boomed with the vigor that comes from the un¬ stinted use of capital in the modern methods by which some towns are built in a day. Griffin, Atlanta and Cordele stand alone in this latest list of the most enterprising dries of the Stare. ' What has done all this? Has the once longed for flood of foreign capi¬ tal poured in to) accomplish these things?' No; everything has * been done by Griffin’s own citteens with their own money.

But what have all these enterprises profited? They have profited so well that Griffin is today in the most prosper¬ ous stage of her history* Not only has the pa pul ati o nat the ~eity and county largely increased with ffP those who are themselves and attracted by pros¬ perity and thrift; but Griffin’s com¬ mercial supremacy has been regained and all competition overshadowed* Cotton is pouring in from every sec¬ tion and the volume of trade is sur¬ passing the most sanguine anticipa¬ tion of all the merchants. Money is more plentiful than for years and debts are being paid up as never be¬ fore. It is true that this state of af¬ fairs is partly owing to bounteous harvests; but it is largely due to Griffin’s life and enterprise, and dims not fluctuate with every season _as in other places. Many people fail to understand or appreciate Hie era in which they live. It is the mission of the newspaper to point out the signs of the times and in this case they are so plain that they need only be arrayed to become prominent.

Pomona, Ga., Oct. 19.—TVe are not deadjnor sleeping but simply too busy to hear and write the news. Every body h» busy and cheerful. Although we have had several weeks of beautiful weather our farm¬ ers still find no idle time. Robert Rouse, of Camilla, Ga who has been spending the week with his cousin Chas T. Smith .left for home yesterday. Mr. Rouse is a very pleasant young man and we hope he will visit us again soon. R. J. Manley, Jr., and family spent Thursday at Hampton. i Capt. P. E. Brown, of Henry coun¬ ty, was in town Thursday. Miss Edna Stanley, one of our sweetest young ladies is visiting her sister Mrs. J. H. Smith, of Concord. Capt. N, C. Napier, editor of the Walker County Messenger, is in town looking after his crops in this sec¬ tion* t,-!*,,;,', J. J. Sutherland left yesterday for a months visit with relatives, at his old home in Woodstock, Ontario, Canada. A. G. VanDyke is on a business trip to points in Ohio. Angns Sutherland, after a months vacation at his native Canadian home, has returned much improved in health. Mr. Sutherland visited Niagara Falls and several other points of interest in the northern states. He reports the weather as being rainy and cold north and says he is glad to get back to Middle Georgia. . 8. M. Wayman and family are vis¬ ing the Exposition at Atlanta today. Mr. Jackson, of DesMoines, Iowa, spent yesterday hare as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Wayman. Several of our young people ‘ went up to the Exposition, Wednesday. There were 10 exposition tickets sold here Wednesday morning for the accommodation. We do not think that any town of twice the size of Pomona, can show a larger list of passengers. Some of onr young folks were so carried away (with the Exposition we suppose) as to foiget to return home with the rest of their party but found their way home the next day without meeting with any eerions mishap. * There will be services at the Bap¬ tist church, Saturday and Sunday.
