Four Hundred Titled Americans
The mat riiigo of Mrs. Ham merely,
a wealthy .New York widow, to
the duke of Marlbayough, an Eng¬
lish nobleman, calls attention anew
to the marriages of A merman wo¬
men to titled foreigners. A news
paper conespmidenti who has given
some attention to tho subject, said
recently that 400 American women,
con quered by coats of aims, have
brought wealth to titled husbands.
This estimate as to number is pro¬
bably about correct for marriages
of the sort alluded to have been
quite frequent, Among tfio more
notable may be mentioned that of
Miss Jerome, of New York, to Lord
Randolph Churchill. Ludv Churchill
subsequently createdcquiie considerable a sionsa
tion in England and
gossip in this country by entering
actively into nor husband’s canvas
for parliament. Miss Eva Mackny
married Fyippp Coloima, and her aunt
Miss Hnngerford, had previously be¬
come Countess Telfner. A daughter
of ex-Senalor Sharon married Lord
Thomas Hesketh, and a daughter of
David Dudley Weld married W
Anthony Musgrave,. JUl®* Kltt y Mo ‘

perhaps because they were not able
to bid as high for titles as their
wealthier northern sisters, or because
they found in American young men

iT is at least significant that

American girl. However, the

and notwitiatanding the ot

These committeemen will organize
working committees in their respec¬
tive disu iota, No project of such
magnitude can suooeed without
thorough organization, and hence tl.e
the appointment and organization of
said committee*.
Tho immediate work of the mem¬
bers of tins ‘committee will be, to
talk up tho project, interest tho peo¬
ple, and especially tho ladles, in it,
to discuss with the citizens of thetr
respective districts, the extent and
variety of the exhibition, that can,
and ought to be fpade, and to organ*
ire working committees in their dis¬
tricts at once.
The general comruitte, which was
appointed the first Tuesday in June,
met at ifio pourfi House on th > first.
Tuesday in this month, tho proceed¬
ings of which meeting are published
elsewhere. As will be seen they ap¬
pointed n subioommitte of live,which
,committee is pennired to draft a plan
for conducting tin* on tiro proceeding,
which plan will be submitted to tho
general committee at Carnesvillo Oil
the first Tuesday in August.
W« cannot anticipate wlmt the
general plan of conduct will he, but
venture to any, tbit* it will probably
consist of a collection of tho timbers
of the county of all kinds, agricultu¬
ral products of eveiy .description,
stock of all sorts, household and
dairy products, all sortw of usefql *nd
fancy articles made by the ladies,
ores, if any can be found, such *rlU
clcs of manufacture as are made in
tho county, and in *hort, everything
ruie, useful atu| ornamental. It is
probable that many premiums of
small intrinsic value will be offered,
that a small envranpe fep wPl bo
charged for such things ns compote
lor premiums apfi a nn® 9 " on *
trance fee will be charged. Allthis'
however, is only conjecture.
So far a* wo have heard, tho peo
pie of the county am alpiott » unit
in favoring the movement, bat as a
matter of course there will be crowl
ers, who will discourage it, and point
out many obstacles in tho way of
suocess. It may bo said that we arc
not prepared to haye a fair of our
own, nor to make an exhibit at
Athens, that we are not ready. But
if any one says we are not ready will

death ho did an unusual hard days

ho ate a h?arty supper, and went to

usual, ho rested well all night, sleep¬

usually did, but uo sooner was he
upon his feet than he was seen to

to the end of which is attached a
rubber hose, and the food is poo red

fellow has no taste whatever and
can take no solid food. He con¬

seems to give him strength. Occa*
sionally the sufferer masticates meat

milk or bear. Shan was in the Cin¬
