The death of Col. Henry W.
Grady, which occurred Monday
morning, sends a plunging dart
of sorrow to the heart of every
Georgian that time will never
•rase, and only console with the
memory of xiis record as a lead
ing stitesman commanding 111®
world’s attention and his state's
highest aduiirslion, esteem and
honor. He was a man of brain
—a trained philosopher—a gift
ed orator. A man of broad
views. A genial, cultivated, r®
fined and Christian gentleman
of polished manners aod fine
address. He possessed that dig
nity and trait of character that
makes the man—a well-shaped
head, a face of feminine fea
tures, a short neck, set on a
broad pair of shoulders and a
full chest, betokened the man
within himself,
The good tint Col. Grady has
dona tor Georgia and the South,
words will not unite, but far
greater his works remain. His
death was a sickening pang to
the state, and we fear, a tolling
blow to her progress. He had
kept her party united. He had
done all in his power to promote
hjr industries and develop her
wealth, and invite immigration.
He had done all in his power to
promote her education, build up
her churches, sustain her moral
and high standing.
Col Grady was a young man.
hardly in the meridian e r life.
It would seem death called him
before his work was hardly be
gun. He was on the merge of
a move in the Souih, that had
ha accomplished, would have
given him a name surpassed by
none save fhe immortal Wash
ington. Hut death has slain the
the golden sheaf, and we fear
the harvest is lost.
It is thought next yea? will be
a good crop year. Many ar*
living in hopes that it will.
Some are yet behind ia paying
out with their merchant, And
it will take another good crop
year to put them straight.
