Griffin is the best and most promising little
ity 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-
olii al description.
During that time it has built and put iuto
most successful operation a #100,000 cotton
actory and with this year started the wheels
of a second of more than twice that capital.
!» has put up a large iron and brass foundry,
s fertilizer factory, an immense ice and bot¬
tling works, a sash anl blind factory
broom factory, opened up the finest granite
quarry in the United States, and now has
oar large oil mills in more or let* advanced
stages of construction, with an aggregate au
thorized capital of over half amilhondollars.
It is putting up the finest system of electric
gating that can be procured, and hag ap¬
plied for 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 Tcn-
aetsee, Virginia aud Georgia. It has obtain-
<1 direct Independent connection with tlha t
tnuooga and the West, d willbreak groun
na few days fora fourth road, connecting
with a fourth independentsvstem.
With its five white and four colored church
a, .t has recently comnleted a SI0.0UQ new
Presbyterian church. It has increased its pop¬
ulation by nearly one fifth. It has attracted
ureund 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 the grape and its winemakiugcapacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully in
augurated a system of public schools, with a
seven years curriculum, second fo none.
This is part of the record of a half decade
und 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

Savannah, Or., Dec. 28. - When the
jail at Jessup was attacked the military
were about a half a mill dLtuit. By
the time a detachment of th; troop*
reached the jail th - mob had departed,
leaving the dead holies of tho-n -srroes
Johnson and liopp •# in their •■■ID. The
commander of ill - mil/to -v h 1 sug¬
gested to the mayor that -a >ij;,-r, guard
the jail, but the mayor said the sheriff
could protect the prison -rs.
The Georgia Hussari have returned
here. The B e-isa i -k company re¬
mains on duty bv r -quest of the mayor.
The hussars sa v the trout tin is over.
They say hun'.reds of c hired people
were taken into the hou ;« . of leading
white citizens and protected from dan¬
ger, remaining all night.
A Jessup dispatch to The Morning
News says Mayor Hobb, has called a
public meeting to take steps to defend
the town. It is believed that tie; negro
desperado Brewer and a large force of
negro- s are near tile town ready for a
night at'a k Citiz-n, are arming to
ail th-- i'/un wick Rides if necessary.
A rp.-i -I train was run out to the

bad received word from Brunswick that
Kyai. the white man accused of insti-
gat ii: the trouble, vva. in Brunswick,
but the mayor will not take steps to
have Ryan brought i ack. There is still
great excitement in the conntry around
Jessup, but affairs will probably quiet
down soon.
It is in tin- region of turpentine dis¬
tilleries and saw mills and the Jessup
troupe is likely to disorganize labor for
some time to come.

As to the killing of the negroes in jail

Philadelphia, Dec, 28.—Some news
of solemn interest to til - coat trade has
reached this city frointlu- home of the
anthracite industry. A dispatch says
that the Pennsylvania Coal company
lias shut down its mines at Dunmon-,
Pleasant Valley and about Pittstou,
with the exception of one colliery at
each place, which is kept running to
supply local demand. The number of
mines shut down is fourteen and 4,000
employes are thrown out of work,

A dispatch from Scranton states that
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West¬
ern company q notice cat six of its
most important i ollieries announcing
suspension changes of work until the weather
stilli -iently to overcome the
present stagnation in the trade. The
collieries affected, the Brisbin, Sloan,
Dodge, Manville, Atclibald aud Hall-
stead. employ over 2,000 miners and
lalxirers. It is stated that the suspen¬
sion will soon become general through-
out the Wy.-ming and Lackawanna val¬
leys unless tl;- r - is <s an ai increased demand
for coal. Ii .s stat ated that the Delaware
and Hudson Canal company's mines
are daily expecting similar notices.

of which I a- been but too well known.
Report alter n-poiu has been received
about the piti iDie state of the coal trade.
There is no mystery, about it. The
causes are pate.it to everybody. As
long as we continue to have mild spring
weather in midwinter tin* coal men will
continue to complain or starve, or will
go into sonic other business. Miles of
cars loaded with coal are said to block
up the side tracks and fill the storage
yards of all the principal mining com¬
panies. There is no place to put the
coal when it is mined.

in its turn, was about 2,500,000 tons

output was gradually growing beyond
tin- demand, and the surplus was held
for future sales. Had that winter been
a very cold one the great amount of
stored coal might have been used up
and a demand at tir- existing prices
might have been created. Instead came
a remarkably mild winter, bringing joy
to the hearts of the cod consumers, but
so; riers row and to dealers! thi j rpdHeers! The immense miners, stock car¬

As the present winter seems inclined
to {lose as a lecord smasher for mildness,
the coal men are in despair. Each week
now shows a decrease of output, and
the news from tile mining districts,
printed in the first (tut of this article,
will simply a-Id a little io the length of
the coal men's faces. Up to the end of
the second week of the present month
the output (o date for this year was
34,016,825 tons as against 81.991.474 tons
during the same ca-rio.l of 1848 . It is
estimated that the aggregate output for
this year will be J.0Uu.dOO tons less that
that of 1888 .
