In our yesterday's Issue we notlood the
death of this estimable lady. Last night
her remains reached hero, accompanied
by her husband, Capt Cody, her brother,
C. H. Williams, Esq., and sister, Miss Car
rie Williams, and Mr. and Mrs. G.C.Codf.
In Columbus nearly everyone knew her,
and appreciated her; and In Atlanta, her
adopted home, she made many warm
friends, as the following notices from the
Atlanta press attest;
We deeply regret to announce the death,
on yesterday afternoon at 5 o’clock, or
Mrs. Mary Roberta, wlfoof Cu.pt. J. A. Co
dy, of this city, after a short but painful
illness. The deceased wss a daughter of
the lute Col. Charles J. Williams, of Colum
bus, who commanded the Ist Qcorgix Reg
ulars, and fell on the Held of battle during
the late war. She was married to (Apt.
Cody—who lost a leg in the Confederate
service—some three years ago, at which
time she was one of the lovliest and most
accomplished young ladles of Columbus.
During her residence of a year here she
made many warm friends, who deeply
deplore her decease. In the early part
of last week Mrs. Cody gave birth to a
child, wliloh died soon after, and now
mother and Infant are united In that
world above where sickness, sorrow and
death are never known. In her last hours
the deceased whs attended by her sister,
Miss Carrie Williams and her brother,
Charles R. Williams, of the Columbus
Times. Her remains will be taken to Cu
lms to-day noon by the West Point train,
and Interred beefdo those of her noble
mother, ’’the soldier's friend,” and the
Hrst lady In tho South to Inaugurate dec
oration day. In all the relations of lire
the deceased was true to the noblest attri
butes of a pure and exalted womanhood,
and upon her earl v grave In the homo of
her childhood, will to-morrow be laid
many and tender tributes to her memory,
who was a Gutilul daughter, an affection
ate sister, a devoted wife, and a constant
and faithful Mood.—Constitution.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. J. A. Cody
breathed her lost. To use tho common
place words that wo are sorry, and the
community regrets her death, does not
begin to express tho deep feeling Indulged
In by the many and large number of At
lanta peoplo-who knew her ,us one of tho
noblest of women.
Mrs. Cody died yesterday afternoon at
5 o’clock. Her Infant preceded her but a
few days. Surrounded by numerous
friends and her fandly, her end was peace
able and without pain. She was the
daughter of Col. Charles J. Williams, of
tho First Georgia Regulars, and Mrs. Ma
ry Ann Williams, whose name Is Intimate
ly entwined in the garlands of all that Is
glorious of Southern chivalry, and devo
tion to our heroic dead. Her brother, C.
H. Williams, of the Columbus Times, was
hero at her death-bed, and our sincere
sympathies aro with him, and tho strick
en husband.
We learn her remains will be carried to
day to Columbus for burial, to rest by tho
side of her Illustrious parents. A glori
ous rounlon awaits such a model woman.
Mrs. Cody removed to Atlanta about
three years since. In that time she had
more than endured herself to this commu
nity, while hundreds of people less fortu
nate attest her kindness to them. Hei
residence was besieged by anxious and
hopeful friends, during her Illness, de
siring to learn how she was.
At five o'clock, yesterday, the story was
told, and Ihe devoted wife, the charitable
citizen and the daughter of Illustrious pa
rentage wont to rest In the calm glory
with those who had preceded her. At
lanta has lost one of her brighast orna

A Plucky lloy.
In the class which graduated at the At
lanta Medical College in March last, was
a young man of energy and ambition,
who looked to the West as the place afford
ing the most inviting field for his effort in
life. His friends advised him against go
ing to the wild regions and denounced his
course,as the resultsof youthful folly. He
persisted and went to Nevada, about as
far West as|he could get. His letters con
veyed pleasant intelligence of his immedi
ate suooess there, but they were treuted as
exaggeration by his friends.
About ton days ago, however, the young
adventurer arrived here ami told his own
story, fully corroborating ail the reports
he had sent by mail. It seems that when
be reached Nevada ho saw little encour
agement fora young physician and looked
around for something more profitable.
He became acquainted with one of the
stockholders In a large silver mine, and
was lucky enough to be appointed an
oversoer in the mines at a salary of four
dollars a day. He held this position two
months and tnon exchanged it for a reg
ular miner’s placa He seized tho pick
axe and went hard to work at the encour
aging price of five dollars a day.
It cost him very little to live, and he has
saved a considerable sum already. He
has returned to Georgia for the purpose
of seeing about some property he owns
here, and will soon return to the mines
and go to work once more. He says he
has arrangements soon to become a stock
holder in anew mine which will pan out
a fortune in a few years. He is glowing
ly enthusiastic over the West. Perhaps,
if all the boys who go there had his ener
gy and pluck they would succeed better.
—Atlanta Tunes.
In the above we think we rerecognize
a Columbus boy, our young friend
Dr. Claude Cowdery. He seems to have
found fcte property, which was per
sonah,allrlght,as we see by the Montgom
ery papers that he was married In that
oity last Wednesday to the beautiful and
accomplished Miss Ida B. Lucas. The
happy pair are now in this city at the res
idence of Col. Porter Ingram, but will
leave for their western home in a day or
two.
CITY 1(11 MIL.
MEETING MONDAY NIGHT.
Tho last business session of tho present
council wa* hold on Monday night. The
different commll tees reported and all show
the work of the city has been well atten
ded to this yoar, and at a less cost 1 lian in
former years. jj t; * :
The present board has been mindful of
the almost universal depreciation of val
ues on which taxes have been levied on,
and have made deckled steps In the line of
a saving economy.
Tho bonded debt of the city, Is stated at
be $577,800, which is maturing annually,
in sums of from $15,000 to $49,000. De
spairing of mooting their bonds, and pay
ing Interest on balance of debt ns it
falls due, and paying ordinary ex
penses of tho city too, a rebin
ding measure has boen adopted which
has been fully acceptable to tho matured
bond holders, and at the same time affords
great relief to tho City Treasurer. The
necosatty of this, or some other measure
of relief, was shown to exist by the falling
off of tax receipts from $117,850, In 1875,
to $102,709, In 1876; exhibiting a delicti in
1876 of sl4 680.
Tho Public Schools arc maintained at
about tho usual cost, $9,560, and hare an
attendance of 615 white and 557 colored
pupils—making a total of 1,172; showing
a small Increase over last year's attend
ance of 19. There are 12 white and U col
ored Teachers and one General Superin
tendent.
Treasurer Barnett’s report shows that
from all sources he has received $129,444,
and paid out $121,620; leaving a balance
on hand of $1,824.
The police force for" the year Is repre
sented as being efficient, at a cost of $7,-
412' While last year It cost s9.3B2—show
ing a saving this year on police accounts
of $1,961. Tho gas account this yeur has
also boen reduced from $5,429, last year
to $3,902 this yoar; making a saving of
$1,527.
The Street Committee reported at some
length, and offerod some good hints to
tholr successors for continuing their sys
tem of street Improvements. A saving in
this department, too, has been made. Tho
expenditure of money being $1,093 less
than it was last year.
The Fire Department is In efficient con
dition,and has cost $3,930; which sum in
cludes the water pipe placed In the
streets lost.summer to bring water from
the river. The receipts from tho wharf
aro $2,244; against sl,792—showing an In
crease of wharfage of $452.
Tho Sexton’s report shows total white
Interments—citizens 83—non residents 70;
total 153. Colored-residents 118—non
residents 53; total 171. White paupers 24.
Colored paupers 41.
The City Physician, Dr. Flewollen, re
ports tho health of tho city has been un
excontionally gooddurlng tho entire year.
He has made 2,000 visits to the sick poor,
and has lost but throe patients. Two
from hospital of consumption and one of
same disease not in hospital. Admissions
to hospital 17, discharged 13. One still re
mains for treatment. The entire cost of
this public charity for the year is $1,092;
and Dr. Flewellen received the commend
ation of the Council for his faithfulness
and economy In all the details of his
office.
The roports show, that the business of
the city has boon well attended to, this
year, and If they had embraced a sched
ule of the assets of tho city, and their
marketable value, they would have fur
nished very desirable information.

Editor Times: One has but to step
outside of his hotel to-day to feel
that tho lust vestigo of yellow fever
must have lied away before such a
sudden and severe change of weather
us has not been experienced here for
years past. Some old citizens say It
is the coldest suapever kuewn in this
section, while others affirm that the
day Sherman took the city the cold
was equally as intense.
Still, it. looks like yellow fever
times here to day, as very few men,
and scarcely any-ladles, are on the
streets, so severe is the chilling wind.
I see, however, many signs of return
ing life and activity in business cir
cles generally, while in tho cotton
warehouses there is a masterly ac
tivity, tho receipts being unusually
large from tbe interior.
AT THE “MORNING NEWS” OEFICE.
Calling at tbe fine new building of
the Morning Naps, I found many old
familiar faces back there again, and
Messrs. Thompson and Estill suffi
ciently recovered from the fever to
be at their posts of duty. Colonel
Thompson looks remarkably well,
and seems to have renewed his youth
for another quarter of a century ot
editorial service. ; Harris, the spark
ling wit of the “Georgia News” col
umn. has permanently “skipped” the
yellow fever, and the places that
knew him so well tiere will know him
no more. He lias becottio one of the
"Eleven Able” of the Atlanta Consti
tution, a creation of his own fertile
brain, and to which bo will add
largely by his presence in their
midst.
I found Col. Estill still suffering
severely from the linKering effects of
the fever, nud hard and faithful ser
vice during the epidemic, and con
templating a brief absence in search
of renewed health and strength.
Strongly us he is pressed at home,
ns well us by the editorial fraternity
throughout the State, (whose kind
words of commendation he fully ap
preciates) Col. Estill will not allow
his name to l> used as a candidate
for the Legislature, to which posi
tion Gen. Henry R. Jackson will
probably be elected. Nor will Col.
Estill boa candidate for public prin
ter, the increased duty of his private
business being such as to require his
constant attention.
A FEW YELLOW FEVER NOTES.
The Rev. Mr. Wynn was on the
street to-day, and bears marked
traces of hard and longcontinued ser
vice during the lateepidemic. There
was not one more faithful or earnest
among all the devoted Good Sumari
taus of this dreadful scourge. Dr.
deGraffenried of your city, is also
nighly and kindly spoken of here in
connection with his volunteer ser
vices, and his name will not soon be
forgotton.
Johnnie Ellis had won many friends
during Ills residence in Savannah,
and had a bright and happy future
before him, but ho remained faithful
to hie post, and fell a victim to the
prevailing epidemic. He has left be
hind in many warm and faithful
hearts a memory of his noble career
that will ever be kept fresh and green.
His stricken father has much to com
fort him, even in tho midst of so sad
an affliction. Few sons havo lived
better or died more sincerely honor
ed.
A NEW I’OSTMASTER IN OFFICE.
Gen. LaLayette MeLaws has taken
possession of the postofßee in this
city, and appointed as his deputy a
son of Ex-Gov. Herschel V. Johnson.
He will make but very few changes
in*tho clerks and subordinates, al
though be has under consideration
numerous improvements in the
office that public convenience seems
to demand. Gen, MeLaws was a
class-mate of Gen. Grant, who gave
him the appointment purely as an
act of friendship, as Gen. MeLaws fc
a very clever gentleman and entirely
out of politics, having attended but
one political meeting in his life, and
then as a mere looker-on. Ho is a
plain, unassuming man, and lives
quietly on his plantation in Effing
ham county, four miles from tho
railroad.
THE CENTRAL RAILROAD AROUSED.
The Central Bail road officers are
waking up to the importance of great
er activity in promoting the interests
oft he traveling public, and several Im
portant movements are on foot. Presi
dent Wadley and General Superin
tendent Rogers, are busily engaged
in the perfection of these new proj
ects, aud I have reason to believe
that they will reach a final consum
mation that should dorauch to create
a kind feeling toward this corpora
tion. The immense territory which
the track covers, tho conflicting in
terests of some of its various termini,
with sharp competition and a strong
pressure on all sides, have conspired
to place a very heavy and undesira
ble burden upon the shoulders of the
manging officials. There are few
bet!er hearted men or more efficient
railroad managers than Col. Win.
Rogers and Capt, Virgil Powers, and
it would be gratifying to me in the
extreme to see them and their able
President,Col. Wadley, stand fully
approved in all their acts by the pa
trons of each section of their lines.

The’ freeze of the three past nights
has to a considerable extent, injured
uw cam; crop uow being gathered.
Generally, at this? time of the year,
not more than one-half ol the cane
has been ground, as in a compara
tively full crop the rolling season,
usually commencing ub >ut the llrst
of November, lusts about two moutbß
or until January. It Is safe to Buy
thut at. least one-third of the cane
crop was left stauulng when visited
by the cold weather of November 30,
when the temperature ftffl three de
grees below tbe freezing point, and,
consequently, every stalk of cane
In the State was killed. An overesti
mate of the sugar crop of 1876 places
this at 180,000 hogsheads. A fairer
estimute would huve made it nearer
150, 000 hogsheads. Considering that
the cane to furnish at least one-third
of this, or 50,000 hogsheads, was un
cut when killed by tho freeze, and
we may approximate the amount
of the damage thereby inflicted.
This freeze forced the wiudrow
ing of all the stunding cane.
Under the most favorable elr
eurastanees, windrowing of cane
that has been killed involves a loss of
twenty per cent. When the freezes
are followed by sitells of warm aud
wet weather, tho loss entailed often
amounts to as mnch as fifty per cent.
A loss of twenty per cent, in sugar
of that part of the crop not yet har
vested is the lowest possible estimate
to put it. Or the present spell of
cold weather has cost our planters
the uetual value of 10,000 hogsheads
of sugar, or nearly one million dol
diiis. A small portion of this loss
will be jjartiall.v covered by an in
crease in tbe yield of molasses. The
oold weather has done an irreparable
amount of harm, but with prevalent
prices for the article they produce,
tve opine that our planters can stand
this loss with considerable equanim
ity.—A T . O. Democrat, 3d.
How a Miner AcciDENTAt.Lv Ran
Across a New Bonanza.- Perhaps
richer specimens, but certainly uot
more beautiful ones have ever been
taken from any mine, than are now
being obtained from the recently dis
covered lode in Jimtown, above Sun
shine. Tbe story runs, that for
mouths the miners, in going to nn I
from their duily labors, have trav
eled along u certain path, wealing
the earth away to the rock A vein
was thus brought to light,which pre
sented no attractions to (he ptospec
tor, and was trod upon us of no ac
count. A laborer two weeks ago
swung a sleiige upon his shoulders
and started early in the morning for
his accustomed ioil upon the moun
tain side. Beaching the vein he care
lessly allowed the heavy stone
breaker to fall upon a projecting
point, and tiiereby detached several
pieces of the vein matter.
The white character of the rock and
its glitteriug particles caused him to
pick up one of the pieces, when
dumb amazement took possession of
him as he thus quickly began to re
alize that, so far as is known, ouo of
the richest mines in the world had
thus luckily been discovered. Lit
erally full were the white specimens
with bright particles of almost pure
gold, and although asbaft has been
sunk to the depth of nine feet, the
rock increases In richness, and at the
bottom very thin strips of wire gold
seem to hold together the fragmenta
ry parts or the vein matter. Untold
wealth is the sure possession of the
men, Virden & Griffin, who own this
treasure vault of hills, and have given
their claim the not very beautiful
name of “Spotted Tail.” Mr. Beach,
of the Rio Grande office, and James
Hetishall, at Smith & Doll’s, have
specimens of this fabulously rich
mine.— Denver Tribune.
