AN IMPOSING SHAFT
Erected to the Memory of General Ilowell
Cobb.
Yesterday a handsome and Imposing
monument was placed in position in
Oconee cemetery.
It was a monument erected by the
children of tho late General Howoll
Cobb.
The monument is situated on the
Cobb lot on an overlooking hill by the
side of the Oconee, and is in a lovely
situation.
It is twenty feet in height and most
elegantly finished by that skilful sculp
tor, Ur. Thomas Markwaltcr, of Au
gusta.
Quito appropriate it is that it should
have been carved out of Georgia granite
and placod in position by Georgia
workmen.
The granito out of which tho shaft
was made came from the quarries noar
Lexington, and Is more beautiful iu ap
pearance than marble.
On the western face of tho monument
is inscribed tho name of General Ilowell
Cobb, the date of his hirtli and death,
etc.
On tho northern side is inscribed tiro
name of Mary Ann Lamar Cobh, the
wifo of General Cobh.
On the eastern side aro tho names of
tho deceased chi'dren of General anil
Mrs. Cobh, and on tho southern side are
inscribed the many offices of honor and
trust held by this distinguished Geor
gian while in life.
It is one of tho most beautiful monu
ments in the cemetery, and is a litting
remembrance of tho illustrious dead by
their living children.—Athens llanncr.
Tim New Orleans States is just now
happy over the prospect of a deal by
Jay Gould, whereby that artist will di
vert his western grain freights from
Chicago to New Orleans. It says:
“Chicago is very much alarmed at the
statement of Jay Gould that lie intends,
as sood as the line connecting the Texas
* Pacific with tho Missouri i’acific sys
tem is completed, to make New Orleans
a grain port. The grain dealers, as well
as the railway officials of Chicago, fully
appreciate tho fact that Gould means
what he says, and that with tho railway
lines lie controls ho can divert the bulk
of tho export grain traffic, if not all
of it to tins port, as lie will have a route
from tho grain Holds of the west to
New Orleans, which will bo as short as
the one to Chicago, with the advantage
of tide water here, whereas Chicago is
one thousand miles from the seaboard,"

TUE COUNTY COURT.
Two Unimportant Cases 1)1.posed of In
Judge Pll.bnry'i Court Yesterday.
In tho county court yesterday morn
ing, Judgo I’ilsbury presiding, Oscar
Speight was arraigned on a charge of
gambling, and, although the evidence
against him was seemingly so conclusive
that ho was advised to plead guilty to
the charge, the jury failed to convict
and he was released. One of the mem
bers of our talented legal fraternity wns

TIIE TRUNK RECOVERED.
The Thief Who Burglarised the House of
Mrs. Harnh Walters Drops the Trunk.
In a previous issue of The Timer-Re-
cordek mention was made of tho burg
lary committed at the house of Mrs.
Surah Walters a few miles from Ameri-
cus and also that the thieves had suc
ceeded in escaping with the valuable
contents of one trunk, hut now, owing
to the shrewdness of Mr. W. II. Puller,
and his brother, Mr. Q. W. Fuller, the
whole of the missing articles have been
ful pleading in the case in view of the recovered, witli the exception of a
preponderance of evidence existing
against his client.
Henry Daniels, a negro, was also tried
for assault and battery, found not guilty
and released.
After tho adjournment of the session,
Judge Pllsbury in the courso of conver
sation remarked upon the difficulty ex
perienced by tho courts in procuring
suitable jurymen, as there are men who
mako a regular business of haunting
tlio corridors of the court house, solely
for the purpose of becoming empaneled
as jurors. There is r- por diem in it,
and an easy way of making it. Such
men aro not lit to sit in judgment upon
their fellows, ami should, as Judge
Pilsbury wisely said, “ho skipped for
those who do not want to serve.”
To any man of fairness and honor, tlio
task of judging his neighbor must ever
prove one of gravo and serious delib
eration, anything but agreeable, and
those wiio seek tins position of moral
responsibility aro not conscientiously
competent to till it.
