ATHENS BANNER TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 28,1891 A LESSON FROM HENRY GRADY’S LIFE Conciliation between those who at one time or another in their lives have differed, is a course to be com mended and urged by every one. It is human nature to. differ in opinion from those around you ; it is to be expected that men now and evermore will cling tenaciously to their principles and wage relentless warfare against their opponents. These differences often engender bitterness that ends in personal diffl' culty, they often terminate in the family feud, in which different fami lies become estranged and continue so through generations; it often spreads to whole States with intense feeling ; and sometimes in which nations are engaged. Yet when the battle smoke lifts and the wounds of war are healed, is it not much better to exercise the spirit of conciliation than that of enduring hatred ? In this spirit the lajte Henry W. Grady bore his last message to our brethren of the North, not as a sup pliant-; but as a friend and brother, and above all, as an Araeriqan, and charmed with the eloquence pf his silvery tongue and the logic of his thoughtful mind the sons of New England as they gathered in the home of Phillips and of Sumner. He died with his noble work scarce begun. The foundations were laid with a master hand, but the magnif icent superstructure remains yet to be reared. There is no valid reason why the people of the North and the South should longer remain estranged. The partisan bitterness that rankles and the political spleen that envenoms, would serve the country and the world much better if they were con verted by the magic of common sense doctrine into the generous and enno bling principle of conciliation. Not that either side of the late civil war should ever give up the principles, dootrines or traditions of their fathers, but that the unsucs cessful should submit with grace the question settled by the arbitra ment of the sword, and that the snc>* cesstul should be satisfied with the victory they won at the point ot the bayonet. The stars end stripes inspire loy alty and allegiance in thq Southern breast to-day as much as they did when they floated over Jackson and his men at New Orleans, or fluttered to the breeze over the halls of the Hontezumas. Afl are Americans now and are in terested in carrying the great Re public on to the highest pinnacle pf glory and renown. The question must be solved some day. Why not begin to solve it now? The first suggestion towards its solution seems to be this: The peo ple of both sections are not well enough acquainted with each other T bey do not understand the circum stances surrounding each other, and and, the conditions which bind each station to the performance of their duties. They should become better acquainted with each other ; should learn more of each other’s institu tions and customs ; and in propor tion as their knowledge of each other increases, just so rapidly will the sectional spirit vanish. The negro question is viewed by the people of the North as “ through a glass, darkly,” and their judgment on it is made np from hearsay and what is read in partisan papers. If they would investigate it thoroughly they would come to the conclusion that the people of the South in pa tience and forbearance are now work* ing out in a masterful way the most p ortentous problem ever offered for solution. A gentleman from New England, who tougkt through the entire war in the Federal army, and who has made the South bis home for ten i v years past, tells us that if the people 1 of bis section could be brought to a realization of the conditions that now 'I N surround the people of the South they would agree with him that the negro question is safe in the hands of the sons of Diriei, and that no more loyal people can be found in Ibeir devotion to the re-united Re those happy days- THE SUB-LAZY MAN TALKS ABOUT OLD ATHENS.

MR GILIJtl.AND’S LIFE. Hr. Gilleland was nearly fifty-three years old. He was born in Athens, and was a son of Mr. Jpbn Gilleland Hp was educated here at private schools, not having the advantage of a university education. Mr. Gilleland was a .self-made man. Schools before the war were not what they are today and Mr. Gilleland went oat from their walls to enter the busy fields of life un tutored to an extppt, but bent upon paving the way to suqpefs in whatever he undertook tp do. Just after he had left school the first guns going to vote the Democratic ticket, which, after all, is the people’s picket. | The alliance of Georgia will go slow in this matter. The Banner is for the Alliance to the end. We believe much good has come of it, and we think the farmers do right to unite. The Banner believes the third party to be a scheme of therepubli can protectionests to break up the fast increasing , power of the Democracy, and hence Thr Banner beg? the Alii-1 on~)ll2,000.” ance to have nothing to do with .it.

All this made the Clerk’s office the more laborious. That officer was a very accommodating man, and he tried to be obliging to all. Many years after this, when a citizen of Athens offered the late Col. S. P. Thurmond, and urged him to become a candidate for Mayor, that gentleman said: “Ob, A Pronunclamento.

Mr. Daniel McKinzie, an old Banner typo, went to the war and lost an arm at the battle of Manassas. Soon after tbe war, perhaps in 1865Jor ’66 he was elected to this position, we do not remember juBt how long Mr. McKinzie filled tbe place, but think it was for two years. He then left Athens and located in Franklin County and taught school for a number of years. At tbe last election for connty officers in that county he was elected Ordinary and still hold that position. #*# a On the retirement of Mr, McKinzie from the clerks office, Mr. Albert L. Mitchell, a one-armed soldier and a bright young lawyer, was at once rec ognized as a most suitable man was lected without opposition. Mr. Mitchell held the place for a few years, until the establishment of the county court, when he was promoted to the • of that court, and hence he resigned his place as clerk of the city council. On Judge Mitchell’s retire ment Mr. Gilleland was elected clerk, and has filled the position ever since, [ most satisfactorily to all concerned. *vr no, , you I of the Uaiv«rsity on the morning 1 believe in 112th of August.

Tuesday afternoon a large congre gation assembled at First Metbodist church to pay the last tribute to the memory of Mr. W. A. Gilleland. The Mayor and members of the city oouncil, together with the police offi cers escorted the remains to the church followed by the bereaved family and relatives and friends. Arriving at tbe church the officiating minister Rev. H. H. Parks walked in front of the remains. The choir, consisted of Mrs. Wallace Brumby, Mrs. W. W. Lampkin and Messrs. Haselton and J. H. Huggins while Mrs. Bailie Stanley presided at the organ. The music was very sweet and impressive, ana many eyes moisten ed as the solemn words “1 would not live alway,” in soft and subdued notes fell upon thq ear. Mr, Parks read tbe 9th Psalm and a part of tbe 15th chapter, of 1st Corin thians, as the scripture lessons and then gave out Hymn 895. “Thee we adore, eternal napm,” etc. After the singing of the hymn, Dr. Lane off.-red up a tnost fervent prayer. Mr, Pa;ks here read another short lesson from Eccles iastes, andjselectod as a text a verse from St. John’s gospel “I must work the works of him that teat; me while it is' day, for cho night cometh when no man can. work.” The preacher first explained tbe text with reference to the work of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and that it applied Jo His work while incarnated aud to the sa« ifleial ottering which he made pf Himself for the sins of the vyorlj. minister then applied the words of the ■e-t to his congregation. And what is the great work enjoined upon every hu nan being? A preparation to meet Gi 1. The minister showed in what this preparation consisted. By nature alt arc sinners, aud in rebellion against Op 1. The heart must be changed uud th. nature renewed. This is de.rly taught in the scriptures. VVhgt is : au’s work in this matter? Repea ter oe, and this is enjoined upon all mi i. Coupled with this there must be faica in the Lord Jesus Christ. Genu in*» repentance, faith aud prayer accom- •>ar ring, always lead- to conversion and regeneration. When this is attained, a ma^’s Christian life is just commenced, adh it must be a warfare from that lame till the day of death. “Do the work of Him that sent me. ■ The preacher next showed the time when this work was t.o be.dono— “'v .ilt* it is day,’ —that is during the probation which is given us.
