HENRY W. GRADY.

was moro than mere prominent citizen; he
was loved by everybody. as probably no other
man has been loved by those with whom his
lot was cast. He was native OF Athens, and
was 3S years old. He leaves a widow and two
children. His illness dated back to his Boston
speech. He had a cold when he started, and
was imprudent in exposing himself when he
reached there. public demonstration had
been arranged for him on his return home. but
he was too sick to accept 1t, and had been con-
fined to his home since. Pneumonia was the
immediate cause Of death.

OF kilograms OF coincidence from distinguished
men in every part OF the country. The funeral
OF Mr. Grady, which will take place on We'd
nesday. will be attended by delegations from
almost every city in South Carolina, Georgia.
