GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, D S. 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.
Griffin is the place where the G biffin News

paper inthe Empire State of Georgia. Please

THE AUTUMNAL CIRCUS.
It Play* In* Very Pale Luck, Indeed
It is a little cool for circuses.
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

coveries” of the day.
