A, Griffin is tlie best and most promising little i ty in the th. Its record for the past half decade, its many new enterprises in oper¬ ation, building and contemplated, prove this o be a business statement and not a hyper- olieal description. During that time it has built and put into most successful operation a $100,000 cotton actory and with this year started the wheels of a second of more than twice that, capital. It lias pat up a large iron and brass foundry, n fertiliser factory, an immense ice and bot¬ tling works, a sash anl blind factory a broom factory, opened np the finest granite quarry in tlio 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 a million dollars. It is putting up the finest system of electric ghting that can be procured, and has ap¬ plied for tuo artera 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 rival, the East Ten¬ nessee, Virginia and Georgia. It has obtain- d direct independent connection with Chat tanooga and the West, d will break groun llii few days for a fourth road, connecting with a fourth independent system. With its five white and foureolored church es, it has recently completed a $10,000 new Presbyterian ehnrch. 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 ruit evaporators in the State. It is the home of the grape audits winemakingcapacity has doubled every year. It has successfully in augurated a system of public schools, with a seveii years curriculum, second to none. This is part, of the record of a half decade 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. 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 ol 1890, it will have at alow estimate between0 000 and 7,000 people, and they are all,of the right sort—wide-awake, np to the times, ready to welcome strangers and anxious to secure de¬ sirable settlers, who will not be any less wel eoim if they bring money to help build up the wn. There is about only one thing we esd bally justnow, and that is a big hotel We have Several small ones, but their aceom modations are entirely too limited for our usine s, pleasure and health seekig nguests If you see anybody that wants a good loca tion for a hotel in the South, just mention Griffin.

The froBt is in the cold, cold ground, the ’simmon is ripe on the tree and jthe possum hangs fat with prehensile cale. Hot- punches come on apace and Tom and Jerry will soon be here to spend the winter. It is true that the violet still gives up its perfume to the air and the chrysanthemum is in its prime; but the sunflower has shed its leaves and the morning glory has gone where the woodbine is alleged to twine. The circus has faded, and the down has on his cheek the hectic flush of the man who goes to Florida to be shipped home on artificial ice. The sweet low voice of the sawdust prima donna is husky with some¬ thing besides gin, and the doorkeeper is obliged to go too oft to the bar. For these and other reasons, which are plenty as blackberries in the sum¬ mer, the 10x20 cent show yesterday went through its evolutions and gyrations to only a small though very select audience. Mayor Stewart and Alderman Powell lent the dignity of the city by their presence,Unele Sa in Hammond waa a delegate from Cabins district and Jeter Gay represented the back sections of Union, Archy McFarland applauded the female performers, two newspaper reporters in full dress occupied the reserved seats, and a bill collector for Blakely stood around on one foot. There were others there, who were willing to stand around and contract typhoid phneumonia or sit down and shiver on the hard blue hand-painted boards; but they were too cold and shriveled up to count. The performance was very good, otherwise we would not have said so in Sunday’s edition when the chances of collection were so small; but the weather was better adapted for mak¬ ing ice than for playing circus. The cold shrunk up the concert so much at both ends that it was very. short indeed; while the elephant’s legs, which were as long in the abstract as Jeter Gay's, diminished inthecon- crete to about the length of Gene Drewry’s. The receipts were merely nominal and in quite inverse ratio to the a ppe¬ tite of the canvas men, which the manager says grows daily larger as. the audiences grow smaller. Some day they may turn in and eat up’the audience, and then the manager would have to turn his circus into a dime museum of Feejee cannibals. It is about time to call the circus in. A DEAD NEGRO. Too Much Liquor and Cold jWeather Do Him Up. About daylight on Sunday morn¬ ing Pete Nichols, a negro whose home was at Frank Freeman’s, four miles from town, was found lying stiff with cold and nearly dead between the Central and the S. G. & N. A. R. R. tracks, near the Georgia Mid¬ land crossing. A jug, with the odor of corn liquor, was found near by, with a string around the handle. The police were notified and car¬ ried the man on the baggage trucks to the station house, where a fire was built. Dr. Collier was called, but did not attempt to revive him, as he was too near death. The jury of inquest returned a ver¬ dict of death from congestion of the lungs,’ said congestion produced from exposure when in an intoxicated condition. There Is some mystery surrounding facts connoted with the affair. The fact that his hat was found fifty yards from his body, his coatfiileeves being torn entirely off, his pockets turned out and evidences of a considerable scuffle, ga verise to the suspicion that he was a victim of foul play, yet no marks of violence were found on his body. It was possibly only a scuffle with John Barleycorn, who sometimes throws his victims with considerable violence. What the Dickey Birds Say. That partridges that have hung for a few days after being shot are always more palatable. « That in the matter of oyster pat¬ ties a great deal must always depend upon the pastry. That a new caprice is to eat celery for breakfast, but no one can tell how long it will last. That there is a deal of huipbug about some alleged literary “dis¬ coveries” of the day. ' Medical often puzzle themselves men over the large sale that Dr. Bull’s Baby Syrup enjoys. Its great popu¬ larity is due only to the excellent qualities possessed by the household medicine. 25 cents. ¥M| ~!-T GRIFFIN GEORGIA TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 19 . 18SP.

In answer to a question as to what the policy of the league would be toward their seceding players, speak Mr. definitely Spalding said that no one could for the league, but his" personal idea was that if the p’ay era persist in their conspiracy and show in some more sub¬ stantial wav than by empty threats that they really intend to carry their scheme into operation he had no doubt the league clubs enjoin would the players make every from possible playing effort to in any other organization, Mr. Spald¬ ing said it was the opinion lawyers of some of the most prominent of the country He that had such an opinion injunction from will hold. seen no any lawyer to the contrary. ’ life Association** Plight, New Yoke, Nov. 17,—When the Kan¬ sas City cfnb resigned from the Amer¬ ican zation association left yesterday sadly demoralized that organi¬ was in a condition.
