MUFFIN, GEORGIA, II S. A.
Griffin is the beet and most promising little
i ty in the th. Its record lor the past
hall decade, its many new enterprises in oper¬
ation, building and contemplated, prose this
o le a business statement and not a hyper-
olieal description.
During that time it has built and put into
most successful operation a f‘100,000 cotton
iictory and with this year started the wheels
of a second of more than twice that capital.
I t has put up a large iron and brass foundry,
« fertiliser factory, an. immense ice and bot¬
tling works, a sash and blind factory a
broom factory, opened np the finest granite
„ |iuany in the United States, and now has
our largo oil mills in mow or less advanced
stages of construction, with an aggregate au¬
thorized capital of over half a million dollars.
It is putting np the finest system of electric

with a fourth independent system.
With its five white and fourcolored church
e% it has recently completed a $10,000 new
PfPffijy terian church. It has increased its pop¬
ulation by nearly one fifth. It has attracted
around its borders fruitgrowers from nearly
evgry State in the Union, until it ia now sur¬
rounded on nearly every side by orchards
and vineyards. It has put up* the largest
ra it evaporators in the State. It is the home
of the grape audits wine making capacity 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 hall 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 of 1890, 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
