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.

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," /i Colored a beautifaHmd natutal btswn or bidbk, at will, by using Buckingiiam's'Dytf fbi the Whiskers.

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 highly complimented upon his succoss- 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. pocket book containing a small amount of money.
