Tile Young Democracy of Coweta
Elsewhere in this issue will be found
the proceedings of a public meeting
held by our young men last week for
the purpose of organizing one or more
<• mipanies of twenty-five each, to be
jr«nxt of an escort for President and
Mrs, Cleveland upon the occasion of
1 heir approaching visit to Atlanta dur
ing the Piedmont Exposition. This
movement is in pursuance of a plan set
♦hi foot by the management of the Ex
position and turned over by them to
Hie Young Men’s Democratic League
♦if Atlanta. It is proposed to bring to-
getlier, from all sections of the State,
an escort of at least ten thousand of
< Georgia’s young manhood, who shall
fittingly represent the young Democ
racy of the South in welcoming the
only Democratic President they have
ever known, or that has ever visited

happy one, and we have no misgivings

onstration. In order, however, to se

islature last Wednesday to a place on
the Supreme Court-bench, made vacant
by the death of Judge Samuel Hall.
He was opposed by Judge James Hook
of Augusta, and Hon. John T. Clark,
present Judge of the Pataula Circuit.
Hon. W. Y. Atkinson and Hon. J. S.
James voted for Simmons; Hon. J. C.
Mixon voted for Clark.
Ex-President Jefferson Davis
will attend the reunion of the Confed
erate veterans at the State Fair, and
extensive preparations for his enter
tainment will be made by the patriotic
citizens of Macon. His visit will be a
distinguished honor for Macon, an
equally strong card for the Fair, and
an event of unspeakable delight to
thousands of Georgians.
The Brady bill received a final qui-
tus in the Senate this week, by a close
vote. On amotion to reconsider the

vote stood 17 and 17. Being a tie, Pres

Whereas, Great preparations are be

I t-lve press and people of Atlanta for
their push, enterprise and patriotism.

Col. P. H. Brewster explained the
object of the meeting. It was called
to agree upon some measure to advance
the interests of the members by form
ing a permanent organization, to carry
into effect such plans as would insure
the purposes of the meeting.
On motion of J. B. S. Davis the fol
lowing agreement was signed by those
whose names appear thereto, to-wit:

Major Thomas A. Grace.
“After the fever of life, after weari
nesses and sicknesses, fightings and de-
spondings, struggling and succeeding;
after all the chances and changes of
this troubled, unhealthy state, at length
comes death: at length, the white
throne of God; at length, the beatific
vision.”
And still, despite so glorious a con
summation, and as though deeming 1
earthly things supreme, we who are
left to straggle and grieve and suffer a
little longer, mourn the departure ofj
our best-beloved, as those who “will !
not be comforted.” Blinded by Na-;
ture’s tears, we see in “God’s angel of
perfect love” only “the King of Ter
rors.” Our religion teaches us that, for
the ransomed spirit, absence from earth
bespeaks its presence in heaven; that
what we call the end is but the begin
ning;—but our hearts are so shut in
with bitter regrets for our own present
loss that the sweet consolations cannot
reach them, even while as Christians i
we acknowledge “these things ought;
not so to be.”
To Major Grace the last messenger
came as one hearing, not a death-war
rant, but a glad release. In his real, ;
his former life among us, he had stood i
as a gallant soldier, foremost in the j
ranks. Patriotic and public-spirited,
the good of his country and hiscommu-,
nity ever held the highest place in his
regard. In his private life, tile pros
perity which aided in giving him posi
tion and influence, enabled him to obey j
the promptings of a noble nature in l
performing acts of generous benevo
lence, and indulging in unstinting hos- i
pitality. In these things, his record .
has been known and read of all men. j
To us who knew him then, his life in :
its prime is easily recalled;—to himself, i
ere he passed away, it had become as a !
faded vision. Adversity had come to
lend its bitterness to the weakness of
declining j’ears, and his spirit chafed
under the restraints and disappoint
ments that, to his sensitive nature,
seemed but a mocking requital of the
services that he had sought to render
to society and to the world. For him,
life’s zest was gone. “Only Waiting,”
sometimes impatiently, for the rest the
grave should bring, it is hot strange
that when Death came to claim him,
Life yielded without a struggle. The
“perfect peace” that marked his fea
tures in tneir last repbse, was, we will
trust, an earnest that his spirit had
found that “rest that remainethforthe
people of God.”
It is pleasant to dwell upon the vir
tues of the dead. In the character of
him whose life we would here commem
orate were many traits to challenge
our-admiration and win our love, In it
Were blended the bravery and tender-
ness that constitute the spirit of drival
ry. His nature was alive to beauty and ;
gladness, keenly, appreciative of friend- j
ship, and in generous sympathy with |
