Griffin is the beet and most promising little
ityinthe th. Its record lor the past
imli decade, ite many new enterprises in oper¬
ation; building and contemplated, prove this
o be a business statement and not a hyper-
olical description.
During that time it has built and put into
most successful operation a #100,000 cotton
nctory 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,
0 fertiliser factory, an immense ice an3 bot¬
tling works, a sash and blind 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¬
thorised 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 far two. arters 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
t ubooga and the West, d will break groun
» a few days fora fourth road, connecting
with a fourth independent system.
With its five white and four colored church
«•«, it has recently completed a #10,000 new
.Presbyterian church. It taw increased ite pop¬
ulation by nearly one fifth. It has attracted
around its borders fruit growers from nearly
every State in the Union, until it is 1 now sur¬
rounded on nearly every side by orchards
and-vineyards. It has put up the largest
ruit evaporators in the State. It is thehome
01 the grape audits wine making capacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully in
attgurated 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 show* 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 of 1800, it
will have at alow estimate between6 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

REED’S COMMITTEES.
A Forecast of the Disposition of
Ohairmanships.
ALLISok OH TABIFF LEGISLATION
He Thinks the Matter Will Receive
Early and Earnest Attention—The New
Speaker Expected to He a l.lttie More
Expeditions Then Mr. Carlisle Was.
His Party Rivals Will Receive Recog¬
nition.
Washington, Dec. 4. — It is not
thought that Mr. Reed will be as slow
about making up his committees as was
Mr. Carlisle at the opening of the-ta*
I congress. Mr. Reed knows the house
I about as 1 well as any man can, and can
| easily decide where % man ought to go.
It may hot be so eas "for him to always
do just what he would like to, but he
will probably soon conclude what he
wants to do in any particular case, and
he will be apt to do that thing. He will
not be disturbed about the wounded
pride bers. or It sensibilities of his fellow mem¬
is not altogether consistent
with Eeed’s disposition to set about re¬
personal warding hi8 friends regardless of their
merits.
Place# for Sp«aker*htp Caudidates.
To a certain extent Mr. Reed will be
influenced in his committee assign¬
ments by what Mr. Carlisle did before
him. Those old members who, under
the assignment of the last house, were
at the head of the minority on certain
committees, will naturally expect to be
retained when the minority is changed
into a majority.
The four candidates who stood op¬
posed to him were men from their
standing vided in in the the party must committee be well pro¬
for way of as¬
signments, or the party organization
would be very their shaky indeed; and, more-
ever, whose among qualifications supporters and standing were men
de¬
mand for them much consideration.
McKinley will most certainly be the
chairman of the committee on i vays
and means, and Burrows will be on that
be the chairman of appropriations,-
while Henderson will be second on the
committee.
Probabilities.
E. B. Taylor, of Ohio, will probably
be the chairman of the com mittee mi on
judiciary, though he was not a sup¬
porter of Mr. Reed in the contest just
closed. Mr. Stewart, of Vermont, who
was a supporter of Mr. Reed, is on that
committee also, and may claim the
chairmanship. bly be chairman Mr. of Dingley the banking will proba¬
and
currency committee. Mr, Belden may
get the committee on coinage, weights
and measures. Bayne, of Pennsylvania,
will get the committee on rivers aud
harbors, and O’Neill, of the same state,
will, m all probability, get the com¬
merce committee. Farquhar, chairman of New
York, seems most apt to do of
the committee on merchant marine and
fisheries. Lodge is expected to be the
chairman of the committee on naval af¬
fairs. Other important chairmanship
assignments that now seem probable
are: Foreign and affairs, Hitt, of Illinois;
pos Pennsylvania; to dices public postroads, lands, Bingham, Payson, of
of
Illinois; Indian affairs, Baker, Perkins, of Kan¬
sas; territories, of New York;
public Maine, buildings Wade, and of_Missouri; grounds, Milliken, invalid
of or
and Pacific railroads, Dalzell, of Penn*

Allium ob the Tarim
Washington. Dec, 4.— Senator Alli¬
son, the author of the senate tariff bill
considered at last session of congress,
when asked what prospect there was of
legislation on tariff at this session, said:
"There will be some legislation on the
tariff, there seems little doubt of that.
Whether it will be on the lines of the
bill proposed by the senate committee of
the last congress is too broad a question
to answer now. It will be on the right
lines. The house in the last congress
sent us a tariff bill and we did with it
the best that we could. The house has
the matter in its hands how. When we
receive a bill from the house we will do
what seems best with it. No one can
foretell what that will be. I think this
congress will accomplish a great deal of
work. We have the house, the senate
and the president. deal ot and The I country do not think expects it
