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 our section The conception is a most happy one, and we have no misgivings ;io to the ultimate success of the dem onstration. In order, however, to se cure a representative turnout, and as additional stimulus to effort in this e Exposition managers of- 9100 in gold to the best P-W pf iwe»ty-five and a Id to the best company out- flta. From the daffy reports Mi : , Jack J, Spalding, ehahv Young Men’s Democratic 1 published in the Atlanta ution, it appears that the young '?;i of the State are taking hold of s movement With remarkable una- dty and enthusiasm. needless to say that Jiownan j'oweta wiU he largely and credit- ^ jopr^ented, and the movement in--! gs rated by our young men last week oukl receive the most hearty public odorsement, No county in the State s more solidly Democratic than Cow- si,. and none perhaps more heartily in- lorses Mr. Cleveland and his adminis- The prospect now is that not han four companies from Newnan county at large will report for Atlanta on the 18th prox., and ottSo much to expect that to one . companies will be awarded the rize. .

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.

On motion of J. B. S.

S.* Burch, “Geo. A. Carter, 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 | Notice to Debtors and Creditors.
