A PLACE HARD TO FILL.
From the “Griffin News.”
Henry W. Grady died at his home in Atlanta late Sunday night of pneumonia, contracted during his recent trip North. His illness was very short and his untimely death is a shock not only to his many friends and admirers, but to the whole State in which he was so well known, and will be received with regret outside its borders. He was a beautiful writer and a brilliant orator, as well as a prominent factor in the development of Atlanta. He will be greatly missed in that city, and his place in the Constitution, of which he was easily the head, will be hard to fill. Peace to his ashes.
