Griffin is the best and most promising little
ityinthe th. Its record for the past
half decade, its many new enterprises in
ation, building and contemplated, prove this
o he a business statement and not a hyper-
olieal description.
During that time it lias built and put into
most successful operation a $100,000 cotton
setory and With this year started the wheels
of u second of more than twice that capital.
It has put up a large iron and brass foundry,
B fertilizer factory, on immense ice and bot¬
tling works, a sash and blind factory a
broom factory, opened np the finest granite
quarry in the United States, and now has
our large oil mills in mora or lets 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 two arters for street railways. It
has secured auother 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 Tcu-
uetsee, Virginia and Georgia. It has obtain-
d direct independent! connection with Cha t
luuuoga and the West, d will break groun
uu !e»v days fora fourth road, connecting
with a fourth independent system.
With its five white and fourcolorcd church
■ i, it has recently completed *10.000 new
-Pre sby te ria netnnch. Ithasi bns increased its pop-
ulatioa by nearly one fifth. It has attracted
areund its borders fruit growers from nearly
every State in the Union, until it is 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 thegrape and its winemakingcapai ity 1ms
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 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
ealthy,fertile and rolling country, 1150 fis t
above sou level. By the census of IH'10. it
will have at alow estimate between (< 000 and
7,000 people, und 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
comi if they bring money to help build up the
wn. There is about only one thing wi¬

A movement for a fund for a

nearly $5,0-0 was raised.
The following address was issued:
To the Admirers of II. \V. (irmly;
No character in history, ancient or modern,
who bore an untitled name and fell in the
ranks of private citizen-hip ere he reached
his 40th year, ever left behind him so many
grief stricken hearts and tear stained faces or
such an abiding sense of irreparable loss as
H. vV. Grady.
Measured lv by this comparison his grand per
sonality assumes proportions vhieh could no
be comprehended while he lived. The young
men of Atlanta have inaugurated a move¬
ment to erect a monument to his memory
commensurate with these proportions; not
alone to his memory—for that is imperishable
in the hearts of his people—but also as an in¬
spiration to future generations of young men
guiding their inspiration and ambition into
paths of useful philanthropy and lofty self-
sacrificing patriotism.
Th*' Monument Assured.
The monument is already assured. The un-
paralleled spontaneity si ty of of r< response to the un-
published appeal vvhi ich zealous friends made
on the first day of the organization of the
movement has removed all question as to
enough funds being raised to build a glorious
tribute to mankind. This address is, there¬
fore, issued ii*-t as an appeal, but in order to
extend the high privileges pn of giving to this
noble cause, ise, a a privilege we do not wi: 'ish i to COIl-
fine to any y class class or or to to any any localit; locality.
While Atlanta claims him and his inonu.
