Card from Mr.. Grady.

Mr.. Grady on the morning after the
election printed the following card:
When every thing else I have said or
done is forgotten, I want the words I
have spoken for prohibition in Atlanta,
to be remembered. am prouder of my
share in the campaign that has ended, in
it's defeat, than Of my share in all other
campaigns that have ended in victory.
I espoused its cause deliberately, and I
have worked for it's success, night and
day, to the best of my ability. My only
regret is that my ability was not greater.
I am firm in the conviction-and from
this conviction shall never be shaken
that Atlanta has prospered under her
two years of prohibition, as she never
prospered before, and that the expert
ment of "prohibition in a large city"
succeeded in Atlanta as no experiment
under like distractions ever succeeded
before. write these words in behalf of
cause that enlisted my heart and rea-
son and conscience as no other cause
did, and from which they can never be
estranged. 1t is to the honor and
strength of that cause that its defeat but
deepens the devotion and loyalty of those
who have fought and suffered with it.

No man has a right to destroy his

No man has a right to destroy his
own life, and he, therefore, can not
delegate the power to DESTROY it to a
government or community of men.
Reviewing the events of late years, III
other countries, and in our own and
looking upon what is now passing
around us, we are strengthened in the
belief that all war, all destruction of
human life. under whatever plea Of
policy or necessity, and with whatever
object is utterly opposed to the relig-
ion of Christ and the true welfare Of

The present docket extends from 1851 to
1887. Crime in 1887 less than half that of

Good Manners.

1t has been the fashion to assume a
strong indifference toward strangers,
even if one does not feel it, and not
only toward strangers is this manifest
ed, but toward those who are associat-
ed together in business, and the ones
whom II meets every day. 1t is not
necessary for two people to fall upon
each others neck every time that they
meet in order to be civil, but in the
short life that we live here why not
give and receive all the good that we
can. Strangers upon settling in a new
place feel this stony and hard exterior,
and when the cheery-faced, really
Christian man or woman is met with,
what % blessing, and how n loves to
remember the meeting and the kindly
look. 1t is like a perfect juno day, OF
the bursting out of the sun after days
of cloud and storm.
