of the burial-ground, is a neat shaft of marble, which marks the last resting place of PROFESSOR BERNARD MALLON, the first superintendent of Atlanta's public schools. The inscriptions on the monument are as follows:

SMITH, and a host of others, who may not improperly be called the real builders of the Gate City of the South.

Perhaps the most unique memorial structure in Oakland is the JASPER N. SMITH vault, to the right of the main driveway, near the Hunter Street gate. Above the door of the vault is a granite statue of Mr. Smith, which portrays him seated in an easy chair, with his beaver in his hand, looking toward the North. There is no semblance of a necktie about the collar-band, for the reason that no one ever saw him when he wore this unnecessary article of adornment. The original of the statue is still in life, an eccentric old gentleman of large means, whose first contribution to Atlanta's architectural attractions was the quaint structure, at the corner of Peachtree and Forsyth, known as the "House that Jack Built." The inscription on the vault, waiting to be completed hereafter, is as follows:

Jasper N. Smith. Born in Walton Co., Ga., Dec. 29,

1833.

Westview, Atlanta

Westview, the modern cemetery of Atlanta, is located four miles from the center of the city, on the Green's Ferry road. It is controlled by a joint stock company, organized in 1884. The site is a beautiful one

for the purpose, and the grounds have been highly improved. There are several hundred acres of land within the enclosure, and for years to come it is likely to be the city's favorite burial-ground, though other cemeteries have since been opened. Here, also, a handsome Confederate monument, surmounted by the statue of a private soldier, musket in hand, has been erected on one of the highest points, and there are many substantial and costly memorial stones. The cemetery contains a number of historic shrines, including the vault in which the ashes of the illustrious Henry W. Grady are entombed.

To the left of the main driveway, near the foot of the first hill, occupying a lot donated for the purpose by the corporation, is the grave of Dewey's flag lieutenant, who planned the battle of Manila Bay and hoisted the American flag above the Philippines. The handsome granite shaft, on which is designed a rope coiled and knotted in sailor fashion, emblematic of service on the high seas, contains the following brief inscription:

LIEUTENANT THOMAS M. BRUMBY, U. S. N.
Died, December 17, 1899, aged forty-four years.

Some distance from the Brumby monument, but to the right of the same driveway, on the slopes of one of the highest hills in the cemetery, is the Grady vault, an impressive structure of marble, in which rest the mortal remains of the South's great orator and editor. On the crypt of the vault which contains the ashes is inscribed:

HENRY WOODFIN GRADY. Born May 24th, 1850.
Died Dec. 23rd, 1889.

On the same side of the vault sleeps his wife, Julia King Grady; on the opposite side is David Banks Gould.

Directly across the main driveway from the Grady vault is the tomb of CAPTAIN EVAN P. HOWELL, for years an associate with Mr. Grady in the ownership of the Atlanta Constitution, and himself one of Georgia's most distinguished sons. The monument which marks his last resting place is a handsome shaft of granite, on which is lettered the following record:

(North)

EVAN PARK HOWELL. Dec. 10, 1839. Aug. 6, 1905.

(South)

A Confederate soldier. A patriotic American. A pioneer builder of Atlanta.

In the same neighborhood, under a most substantial and elegant shaft of granite, sleeps PROF. WILLIAM HENRY PECK, the novelist.

Still nearer the crest of the same hill on which the Grady vault stands may be seen a boulder of rough-hewn granite, the beauty of which cannot fail to catch the eye. It marks the last resting place of JOEL CHANDLER HARRIS, the South's most illustrious man of letters and the creator of the far-famed "Uncle Remus." On a copper plate embedded in the surface of the stone is inscribed in raised letters the following record:

JOEL CHANDLER HARRIS. Born, Eatonton, Ga.,
Dec. 9th, 1849. Died, Atlanta, Ga., July 3rd, 1908.
