GRIFFIN, GEORG IA, U S. A.
Oriffin Is the beet and most promising little
tty in the th. Its record for the past
half decade, its many new enterprises in oper¬
ation, building and contemplated, prove this
o he a business statement and not n hyper-
olical description.
During that time it hoe built and put into
most successful operation a f100,000 cotton
uctory and with this year started the wheels
of a second of more than twice that capital,
it has put up a large iron and brass foundry,
a fertiliser factory, an immense ice and bot¬
tling works, a sash and Wind factory a
broom factory, opened up the finest granite
quarry in the 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
{fitting that can be procured, and has ap¬
plied for two 'arters for street railways. It
hassecured another railroad ninety miles long,
and while located on the greatest system in
the South, the Centred, has secured connec¬
tion with its important rival, the East Ten¬
nessee, Virginia and Georgia. It has obtain-
d direct independent connection with Chat
tansoga and the West, d will break groan

with a fourth iudepeudeutsvstem.
With its five white and tourcolored church

It has increased its pop¬
ulation by nearly one fifth. It has attracted
around its borders fruitgrowers from nearly
every State in the Union, until it io now yur-
rouuded on nearly every side hyoo^orste
and vineyards. It has put up the largest
ruit evaporators in the State, It is the home
of the grape andite winemakingcapacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully in
augurated a system of public schools, with a
seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the record of a half decade
and simply shows the progress ot an already
admirable city with the natural advantages
of having tbe finest climate, summer and
winter, in the world.
Griffin is the county scot of Spalding coun¬

healthy, fertile and rolling country, 1150 feet

will have at alow estimate between 6 000 and
7,000 people, and they are oil of the right
eort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
welcome strangers and anxious to secure de¬
sirable settlers, who will not be any less wel
