The Broken Augusta Bank.


augusta Ca Cor A tEdnta CoRsfisutio,s.
Judge Roney took up the case OF T.. II.
Walton, charged with perjury, Wednes-
nesday In the Superior court. The case
excites considerable interest, from its
connection with the broken bank OF
Augusta. Of which Walton was cashier.
1t is charged that he signed the reports
that the bank sent TO the executive office,
knowing them to be incorrect, and thus
aided President Roberts III his schemes,
by which he broke tho bank. Walton
claims, and all Augusta believes that his
connection with the Roberts transaction
was merely clerical and not criminal, and
his innocence has never been doubted
here. Still the courthouse is full because
the details Of the break OF the bank are in
evidence. This case is somewhat per-
functory and the indictment was found,
IL Is thought, simply because Walton was
cognizant Of Roberts wrong doings.
w. S. Roberts, president of the Bank OF
Augusta, and the chief actor in the vari-
Gus trials aud appeals which have made
his case celebrated, is now in retirement
at his home here, waiting the result of his
appeal to the United States supreme
court, which has been advanced TO Mon
day next. This hearing is 3 years earlier
than Roberts expected and hoped for, and
it will decide whether he shall remain al
home and be.tried for embszzlement,o 60
TO New York and be tried for grand lar.

Rigsby entered the dwelling with his gun,
and depositing it in the veranda, entered
the room occupied by Barker, and took a
seat without speaking or in any manner
recognizing the presence OF Barker. This
strange conduct very much angered
Barker, and he rose from his seat, and,
taking Rigsby by the arm, led him to-
wards the front door, and on reaching the
door gave him a kick. Rgsby instantly
grasped his gun, and Barker caught it
near the muzzle, when Rigsby fired The

10 a number OF reasons, among which are

An Artistic HUMOROUS Gem.


The Baltimore american" says:
The choicest selection of copyrighted
American humor and one which will
delight every reader is now being dis
tributed free throughout America.
Nearly all the humorists and comic
artists of the country are represented
in it, among them bill Nye," Robert
j. Burdette, Burlington "HawkeYe;'
f.. II. dlssaway, Derrick D0dd," San
Francisco ''PosI;" @. 3. Lewis, M.
Quad, " Detroit Free Press" Stanley
Huntley, tSpoopendyke, "Opie z. Read,
Arkansaw "Traveler;" r. X. Munkit-
trick, of "Puck," and others. The
book in question Is the unique an-
nual literary production of The Charles
A. Vogeler Company, of tins city, and
is styled the st. JOcobs Oh Family
Calendar and Book of Health and
Humor for 1885. While it has been
gotten up primarily FOR advertising
purposes, it Is so re- etc with original
matter free from &C rtIs1ng reference,
that the business feature Is almost q
secondary one. Twelve million copies
are issued for gratHitous distribution,
being delivered from house to house IN
large cities, and in smaller towns far
nishei through the medium of drug
gists. 1t has been printed in a number
of languages and for different countries.
The press of Great Britain and Aus
tralis is unanimous in praising the
merit and originality of its contents
The illustrated sketches are inteTspersed
with testimonials as to the merits OF the
wonderful pain-cure, st. Jacobs Oh,
the only remedy which received gold
medals at the Worlds Fairs of Australia,
India and other countries. The Rec
Star Cough Cure, a new discovery IL
medicine, has also space devoted to it,
Boards of Health of large cities, emin-
ent medical authorities, analytical
chemists, chief officers of state and mu-
nicipaI governments have all testified
not only to the curative effects Of this
remedy, but also to its freedom from
narcotics, opiates and poisons, which
enter so largely INTO the composition OF
old. time preparations. The former edi-
tious of this little book were very at
tractive. but in the present Instance
both publishers and contributors seem
to have determined that they would
give the country all that is brightest
and best in American humor.
