GRADY's DEATH IN BOSTON.

ROOQ, ana MS snort lie accomplished
much. The republic may well mourn the
untimely taking off of so brilliant and
patriotic man as ever sprang from her
soil"
Jonathan Lane, president Of the mer-
chants association, whose guest Grady
was at their recent dinner, said:
Boston will share in Atlanta's sorrow
for, during Grady's short stay in the city
as our guest, he made many friends. His
visit was exceedingly pleasant, and he
enjoyed himself much. He was one of
those hearty, sympathetic souls, who
impress every one favorably. | don't
think ever came in contact with a
Southern gentleman who made such a
pleasant impression. When he arrived
here, he was not feeling well, and our
committee induced him to go to bed and
rest before the banquet. Our trip to
Plymouth was pleasant one, and one
which shalln never forget. Grady seemed
to be in the best of spirits, and made
many inquiries regarding the Australian
ballot law in which he was very much
interested. We escorted him to the train
the night of his departure and he com
planned of feeling feverish and walked up
and down the platform briskly. The
merchants association will take appro-
pirate action upon Grady's death.
