THE aMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER SUNDAY. OCTOBER 18, 1891. An Imposing Monument to His Memory. JOURNALIST. ORATOR. PATRIOT. A CHILDLESS HOME. Smith and h!» wife have every luxury that money can buy, but there la one ‘ elr thing lacking to their happiness. Both are fond of children, but no little voices prattle, no little feet patter In their beautiful home. “I would give ten yean of my life if I could have one peaithy, living, child of mv own,” Smith aften says to himself. No woman can be the mother of healthy offspring un less she herself is in good health. If she suffers from female weakness, general debility, bearing-down pains and func tional derangements her physical con dition is such that she cannot hope to have healthy children. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a soverign and guaranteed remedy for all these ailments. Worn-out, “run-down,” feeble women, need Dr. Piercers Favorite Prescription. It builds them up. It's • powerful, re storative tonic, or strength-giver—free from alcohol and injurions drugs. The entire system is renewed and invigora ted. It improves digestion, enriches the blood, dispels aches and pains, gives re freshing sleep; and restores flesh and Cerenianles of Use Unveiling—America*. Di.llnuiiUlifd Sim, to Do Kflin Honor.

When on the dif of December, 1889, the sad new* of bis demise was pnblished, and. it was learned that his meteoric fame,' which np to that time was increasing year by year, and even day by day, had been shronded in the shadows of death, a nation mourned. The city of bis resi dence bowed down in grief. The south wept. The whole country, that ‘‘he was literally loving into peace,” monmed. Mr. Grady was born in Athens, Ga., in 1851. During his boyhood he enjoyed the best educational advantages, bnt the four years of the civil war seriously in terrupted bis studies, and most of his time during that period was spent in visiting the various points where his father, Colonel Grady, was stationed with his regiment. When peace came it found the lad fatherless. Colonel Grady having fallen in battle. Yonng Grady found that he hod no time to low in equipping himself for his or. He graduated at the State uni versity; and then took a postgraduate course at the University of Virginia. Daring his terms in each of the institu tions he was the youngest student in at tendance. He studied diligently wbat suited his intellectual bent, but paid tittle attention to branches in which he had no interest History, Belles-lettres, Anglo-Saxon sod Greek attracted his at tention, and he stood high in all of thesei, His' command of language was remark able from the first In the literary so- ctatiea of both anjvettittaa he canted eg tbs highest honors as a speaker. While a student hs wrote a letter to the Atlanta Constitution, which pleased the editor so much that hs asked for an other. • When the first press excursion after the war was tendered by the au thorities of the State road, he represented The Constitution, and his boyish oorro- spoudenoe. under the signature of ’’King Hans." wsa the most popular and widely oopied of all the “write ups” of the trip, A-Year or two later than this, yonng fcmwas in journalism in earnest as the editor and one of the owners of the Romd (Ga.) Daily Commercial. Rome, however, was not large enough for the sprightly and enterprising yonng editor, and in 1873 Mr. Grady purchased an interest in the Atlanta Herald. The Herald was one of the best newspspert ever printed in the eonth. The Sunday editione and trade issues were the mar vel of the day. The Herald, however, was conducted with more sejl than dis cretion, so far as its business depart- IMtk tat SERBV M’F’QCO.NAaHmU.TgMI $500 Reward! 1 WlBwttl pay too above rtward fwaareaM of Llrar pnrlniat. pj-prpiU.

The appearance of signed articles in parallel columns and in di. rect conflict was a novelty in journalism and helped the paper immensely. Mr. Grady's Prohibition tendencies were well known and were considered remarkable in a man of his temperament and surroundings. He was. moreover, one of the few Prohibitionists who did not hesitate to avow that be loved drink. Probably no better statement of his po sition was ever made than that which he wrote to iiis yonng friend (afterward his successor), Mr. Clark Howell. In a letter Inclosing a birthday present, be wrote: My win will Itu Just about your ni;i* when yon areaUmt mine, iiiul be will enter the paper when you are aitoui where 1 am. 1 have cot to looking at you n» a i*ort of prefUrurhu: of what m> Min may be. and of looking over you and rejoicing in your nuccesa, an I aball want you to find toward him.

By marrying young your children grow up when they are » pleasure to yon. You feel the responsibility of life, the sweetness of life, and you avoid bad habits. If you never drink, never gamble and marry early, there in no limit to the useful and distin guished life you may live. Yon will be the pride of your father’s heart and the Joy of yoor mother’s. 1 don’t know that there is any happiness on earth worth having outside of the happiness of knowing that yon have done your duty, and that yon have tried to do good. Yon try to build up. There are always plenty others who will do all the tearing down that is necessary. Yon try to live In the sunshine. Men who stay In the shade always get mildewed. Mr. Gmdy was called the prophet of the new south. He was active in every enterprise that promised the development of her resources and the satisfactory adjustment of the vexatious problems that appeared to him as retarding her progress. His speech before the New England society at its annual banquet In New York in 1880 was pnblished in almost every daily and weekly paper in thp United States and the London press complimented it in the highest terms.

It disappeared from the field after n short time, and Mr. Grady became southern correspondent of the New York Herald. In 1880 Mr. Grady purchased a fourth interest in The Constitution, taking the position of managing editor and retain ing this post tin til his death. Hs was the penin, of that paper, though Me partner, Mr. Howell, on sans occaatono divided honors with him. This was no ticeably the case when the great Oeorg{a Prohibition campaign was is progress.

TM* proved a great success in every wsy, president Cleveland and his wife were among the attendants. In 1888 he organised and conducted the Piedmont Chantenqna at Balt Springs, sixteen miles from Atlanta. In October, 1888, Mr. Grady delivered a speech at the Texas state fair, et Dallas, and thii speech was equal to any he had e*er taade. He traveled in a special car, and was from one end of Texas to the other greeted yith one con tinuous ovation. In November of the same year he ad dressed thousands of cheering people at the Augusta (Ga.) National exposition. This speech was pronounced to be equal to the Dallas and New England address es, and his standing was acknowledged as one of the great orators of the world. Mr. Grady had often been suggested for the second place on the national ticket before the Democratic convention in 1888, bnt - he refused to tarn aside from his chosen work among his own people to seek after political honors. He was also urged to become a candi date for the United States senate, bnt he declined the honor. He was n jour nalist by instinct, and kept his thoughts in the newspaper work. In the fall of 1889 he went to Boston, and on Dec. 13 he delivered an address before the Merchants’ club of that city, which proved to be one of the greatest if not the greatest, effort of his life. No apology is necessary for quoting here a few of the wonderful passages in that speech. It sealed hiB fame as one of the great orators of history, and will live tqgether with the ablest efforts of the great men of the world. His de scription of the son’.h which he loved so well was full of poetry. He said: Far to tbs south.
