Atlanta. Oct. 21.—The unveiling of
the Grady monument here was attend
ed by tbu greatest demonstration and
the grandest ceremonies ever known in
die history oi Georgia. The entire city,
the state, the south and the nation join
ed m honoring the memory of the new
south’s lavorite son. The largest throng
that evex gathered on the streets of At
lanta was crowded and packed on Mari-

th monument to btocks distant. Win
dows near tiie scene of the day’s exer
cises were occupied by people anxious
to hear and see tribute paid to a uni-
T.r-al favorite of the land.
The day was a holiday in the city and
business was entirely suspended. Every
ci ixrn had a desire to take part in the
dc.oion. Rich and poor, white and
coioted—the entire population turned
out.
No man occupied a wanner place in
l’..ehearts of the people, no man lias

lib career was one of usefulness. A
life to voted to the common good, and
the l.e.uTi.nis i with which the «l.ty’-
tr.br.to was offered to his great aud
noble life, is a glowing index of the
friendship he commanded.

with a severe case of pneumonia. He
returned at once to Atlauta, and de
spite the best medical attention which
could have been had died in the course
rvL^s w His funeral occurred on
Christmas day, and was the largest
ever witnessed in Atlanta. The usual
holiday festivities were entirely sus
pended throughout the city by all
classes of people from morning until
night on that «iay.
The very fact of Christmas festivi
ties being suspended in a southern com
munity is sufficient evidence of the esti
mation iu which he was held by his fel
low townsmen; but much more evidence
followed. For many weeks afterward
the newspapers north and south con
tained a remarkable number of personal
tributes to bis character and worth
from his personal friends.
The Monument Movement.
Before the mortal framo of the new
•oath’s favorite had been consigned, to
its mother earth, a movement was pro
jected to erect a monument to his mem
ory. That it has be»n successful goes
without sayiug. As soon as it had been
announced that the Grady Monument
association had been formed and would
receive voluntary subscriptions until
thirty days after Mr. Grmly’s death,
free will offerings came pouring in from
all over this country, and when the
time had expired it was found that $31,-
000 had come from the purses of a gen
erous aud patriotic people. The the
money had been easily raised and
only thing left was to erect the monu
ment. This the association at once
proceeded to do.
The Designer and Seulpton.
In answer to advertisements, out of
the large number of designs submitted
to the association, the one prepared by
Alexander Doyle, of New York was ac
cepted. Mr. Doyle is an artist of ex-
t -naive reputation and considerable
ability. Among some of his works are
the Hill monument in Atlanta, the
Garfield monument in Cleveland, the
Greely statue in New York, the revolu
tionary monument in Yorktown, Va.,
-xecuted for the government, and
many others in New Orleans, Savannah,
Toledo and elsewhere.

The Great Parade.
The first great featuie of tlie day was
a monster parade. The ar.-augjments
for the parade were perfected after 11
o’clock, and it has been said that the
procession was the longest ever seen in
Georgia. The zigzag line of march was
fully fifteen blocks in length. The
great parade was formed in divisions,
each assigned to officers from the mili
tary. Colonel Calbonn was marshal of
the day and was assisted by ten aides.
.The line of march was on Mitchell to
Whitehall, Whitehall to Alabama, Ala
bama to Loyd, Loyd to Decatur,
tur to Pryor, Pryor to Peachtree, Peach
tree to Marietta, Marietta to statue,
vnd was in the following order:
Mounted Police.
Mexican Band.
Fourth Battalion Georgia Volunteers,
Infantry.
Police Battalion.
Atlanta Artillery (without guns).
Moreland Park Cadets.
Adolph Brandt Division Knights of
Pythias.
Atlanta Division Knights of Pythias.

Governor’s Horse Guards.
Governor Northen and Stuff.
Mayor and General Council.
Carriages Containing Governor David B.
Hill, Distinguished Guests, the Family
of Mr. Grady and the Grady Mon
ument Committee.
Fire Department.
During the course of the parade an
alarm of fire was given, and the break
ing of the march by the department,
which went dashing to the scene of the
conflagration, created qnite a sensation.
On arriving opposite the . statue the
Grady cadets were detached from the
colninu and occupied a position around
it ns a guard of honor. The procession
coutiiined the march np Marietta street
until the carriages reached the statue at
ubont 12 o’clock noon.
Around the statue was erected a large
f lat form with a sealing capacity of
,000 people. It was gaily decorated
with bunting and floral contributions
from the ladies of the city. Those
prominently identified with the ceremo
nies occupied the platform. Abont the.
platform there was a mass of people
numbering probably 50,OIK) or more.
The Unveiling Oremuulea.
The exercises were begun shortly af
ter 13 o’clock, and were presided over
by Charles S. Northen, of the Grady
PRESIDENT CHAS. & NORTHEN.
Monument association. The Mexican
band discoursed sweet music, after
which the statue was nnveiled by Miss
Gussie Grady. Tbe scene that followed
the uncovering of the bronze representa
tion of Mr. Grady beggars description.
For minntes a demonstration prevailed,
the like of which was never known be
fore in the recent history of the south.
After the nnveiling. a ferventprayer
was offered by the Rev. Dr. J. w. Lee,
daring which' every head was bowed in
silence.
When the prayer had been rendered
Hon. Falion Colville was presented to
the vast an lienee and delivered an ad
dress in bebaif of tlie 1110:-ament com
mittee. Mr. Coiviiie reviewed the his
tory of the movement up to the days
exerc ses. He r-oid now lhe money had
been gotten and said that the completed
monument was a voluntary offering
from a patriotic people to a p uriot.
He ably prewnled the work of the com
mittee. Following Mr. Colville’s speech
intuic was next ou thd programme.
President Northen then presented
Hon. Clark Howell, wiio, after appro
priate remarks upon the career of Gov
ernor D. B.Hill,
introduced him
to the multi
tude as the or
ator of the oc
casion. Tbe
appearance of

was the signal
for prolonged

Governor Hill’s Oration.
Among other things, be said: "This '
*» on unaccustomed spectacle. The
scene which we are now witnessing
scarcely finds a parallel in all the his- .
upon which the earnest attention of the
whole American people is rivited at this
hour, because o. its peculi ir signifi
cance. Not to tbe memory of a great
4lhlwr v a s^t$aujuati it Jjiip
statue' unveiled today, Dut to a plain
citizen of tbe republic--a ‘journalist,
orator, patriot. ’
j Journeying so far, intermitting for a
season official rouri no and political du
ties in order to be present with you be-
: side this dedicated monument of your
j enduring and proud memory, I have
j questioned whether the act might not
speak more occeptably than any word
of mine.
To pay th j due tribute of a personal
friendship, i,t is enough to come hither
m silence, and amid this throng of
Georgias’s sons, and of southern men
from sister states attesting a common
heritage of grief and pride, here cast
my leaf amozg yonr lansels, and pass
ing to my northern home,
“And bid fair peace to his sab^shoucL”
To commemmorate ths mark he
mode, the prizes he won in a high call
ing, there needs no eulogy from me.
His acquirements, his gifts, his genius,
the ontlinea of his manly character, the
circmnstanccs of his career, are best
“jw?, t0 you among whom he lived
and did his best, until for him—too
soon, alas!—tho night came, wbichends
all our brief days and work.
Yet beside this tomb, before this si
lent token of a nation’s mingled grief
and homnge, no greater tribute could I
Psy *° Henry W. Grady’s memory and
pnblic services, than to repeat the story
of his brave life. That life—so brief
and yet so full—is the history of a no
ble purpose born iu the generous im
pulses of a warm and patriotic heart,
stirred by the sufferings and despair of
his stnek >u countrymen, sustained by
ins confidence in the south’s resources
and the sonth’s manhood, ai ielbyhis
own great genius and practical energy,
and accomplishing within his lifetime
its great end—the restoration of the
south’s prosperity and the complete re
conciliation of north and south.
Truly does his name live in the mem-
ory of this people! Rich as Georgia is
in the fame of her brilliant sons, few
names among yonr illustrious men hold
a more sacred place in vour affections.
Great orators you have had—Toombs,
Stephens, Hill—yet the eloquence of
none came from a truer heart or ex
pressed a more exalted pnrpose. Great
statesmen and brave soldiers you have
bad, bnt none gave his life and his
genins to a nobler task. He was the
symjiatlietic friend in vonr days of ad
versity; he was your inspiration i:i d tys
of struggle; he yonr hone in times of
despair; he was the embodiment of your
dew aspirations—tne representative of
ye-nr new ideas—the leader in vonr now
prosperity. When upon the solid fon-id-
ations of success which you and he have
built, tlie complete structure of a glori
ous statehood shall be reared by your
posterity, jealondy may those future
generation preserve tbe memory of that
young Georgian, and point with venera-
liou to this noble statue—repeating
softly and reverently the words of this
inscription—"Henrv W. Grady, jour
nalist, orator, pa:not.”
And when from distant states and a
colder clime strangers shall walk
through the streets of yonr beautiful
city, and gave a[K>u this memorial of
your love and pri le. affectionately in ly
they recall the life-work of this he
aved sou tiler, lev, aud reverently carry
away witu them as an inspiring aud
patriotic, memory the touching tribute
which you have inscribed in these let
ters of stone, that "when lie died be
was literally loving a nation into
peace. ”
A nation in peace. A broad land dis
turbed by no civil distensions, threat
ened by no foreign enemy. A pernio
united and homogeneous, prosperous
and happy. No truce of conflict, uo bit

That people rejoicing iti the universal

A Very Hard Blow Struck at Them
In Canada—Condemnation will
be put in Force Again.
Montreal, Oct. 20—A hard blow
uas been struck at-the Knights of Labor
in Canada by the Roman Catholic
clergy. Archbishop Tascherean has is
sued in La Semaine Rcligieuse, tb* or
gan of the church, a fierce article de
nouncing the principles enunciated in
their Montreal address by Grand Mas
ter Workman Powderly and Mr.
Wright as directly opposed to thelatest
papal encyclical and asking the Catho
lics to remain away from puck leaders.
The condemnation of the Knights of
Labor, made by the church four years

large number of the Catholics to join
the knights. The archbishop threatens
to pnt the condemnation again in force.
A Disastrous Failure.

Why You Should Patronize the Banner Job Office.
When one has work of an artistic nature to be executed, he naturally car
ries it to the very best artist convenient. Of Connie, an expert workman and
skilled mechanic has the latest and best machin e v> enable him to accomplish
the most satisfactory results. No one wishes to p«U iw a workman who doea
not keep abreast with the improvements of the day, for it * an impossibility
him to turn out a novel and artistic job. In printing, styles are constantly ch
ing. Type faces that were popular last year, are nov rarely used. Better ef
are seen by the most casual observer.
OUR TYPE FACES ME ML NEW
In The Banner Job Office there is to be found the largest selection of new
and artistic type in Northeast Georgia. If yon have a Poster as large as a newspa
per to print, and want it executed in an attractive style—in a style that will "catch
the eye”—The Banner office is the place to have it printed. If you have an in
vitation card that you wish to appear as if it were lithographed, send it to us. In
fact, we qave the best selection of typo for any kind cf work that is printed.
THE BANNER JOB PRINTERS.
No matter how good material a shop may have, withont skilled mechanics
the best results cannot be obtained. It is even so in t- printing office. We have
the most artistic and skillful printers to be obtained. We refer yon to samples of
our work for proof of this assertion. After all, one’s work is tho best way by
which to judge his ability. We have no “cubs” to •"hutoher’;’ work.
«JR PRESSES.^
Without good presses, it is impossible to turn cut first-class work. Mazy
jobs, which are otherwise artistic, are spoiled by poor press work. In The
Banner Job room there are five of the finest presses nade—Adam’s Patent Book
Press, The Cottrell A Babcock Cylinder Press, two of the latest improved Gordon
Presses and Golden’s Pearl.
WE PRINT ANYTHING
That can be printed. Our Stationery is the very best, and our prices are surpris
ingly low. If you wish the very best results, don’t wait ’till your stationery
£ ves out, but send yonr work in now, so that we may have time to make it a
oly artistic job.

These Messenger Boys were sent out to make special
delivery of Catalogues, and told to hurry. This idea so excited
them that they got all mixed up and don't know which is
which. They want you to pick them out and put them in their
proper order, so as to show the name of a leading piano.
