COURAGE GIRLS?
THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: THURSDAY, AUGUST fi, 1891.
Scvcnty-two Taut ot Ago, »m! Ll.ln* With
Her Sixth Hiuband.
Whosays marriage la a failure? Not
much! Read this:
Mta. Bryson Brothers, who lives In
Blonnt county, about twelve miles cast
of Oneonta, Is now 72 years of age and
has been married six times, the first
taking place during her 18th year.
Sometime before her first matrimonial
union she presented herself before a for
tune teller to be enlightened in regard
to her future and the path over which
she would tread through life. The fore
teller of things to transpire said to Mrs.
Brothers in the course of detailing her
future that she would be married seven
times, and she now has explicit confi
dence in the truthfulness of what was
told her and she still believes that tho
seventh marriage will take place, not
withstanding the fact that she is now 72
years of age.
She proved a faithful, true, and in
every way a loyal wife in each instance,
and, as a resident of Blount county for
fifty years, has won an enviable position
in the estimation of all who know- her,
and a large circle of friends who wish
her a continuance of the success with
which she has heretofore met, during
the remainder of her days.
The dates of her marriages and the
names of the gentlemen who have been
her husbands, with the one now living,
Is given below, as follows:
First, Thomas Hassey, 1837; second,
Thomas Baker, 1843; third, Tom Holder,
1853; fourth, Champ Cornelius, 1871
fifth, Philip Halley, 1878; and in this
year she married Bryson Brothers, aged
74 years, with whom she is now living.

Why Bhoald Stock Speculators Make Hard
Timas tor tho Rest ot Drt
The Boston Herald takes this sensible
view of the financial situation:
“Wall street is still In the dumps, and
this feeling is reflected in State street.
The stock exchanges are lifeless, and
the brokers complain that they ore not
earning their salt. Everywhere busi
ness Is good, however, and everybody Is
looking for a brisk and profitable fall
trade in all lines of legitimate business.
The big crops are beginning to more,
and there will soon bo activity all along
the line. Meanwhile, because those
who buy and sell stocks are temporarily
living on short fare, there is no reason
why the rest of us should not continue
to enjoy our cakes and dumplings,”
Just sol What are stocks and bonds
to nine-tenths of the human family?
How did the world move before the In
vention of stocks and bonds? What do
these things make grow, anyway? What
good are speculators and ganiblera In
this world? What do they do to help
those who do the every day work of this
or any other land? And why should the
men who toll with muscle or brain be
disturbed or upset by a class who do
nothing.
Legitimate business seems to be all
light, as usual, and as for stock spec
ulators and gamblers, the) world would
move smoother without them.

OWING TO A TELEGRAM
Will Jones Is Now In Jail for a Little
Matter of *100. <
Mr. D. F. Scott, a toad boss on the S.
A. M. road, stationed at Lumpkin,
missed 8100 in cash and one Will
Jones almost at tho same moment of
time. This singular coincidence excited
the suspicions of Mr. Scott, and set him
to thinking.
It didn’t take Mr. Scott long to con
clude that the oolored gentleman would
naturally steer for Americus, with that
amount of oash assets on hand; and he
accordingly telegraphed the authorities
here to detain William for a short period.
Mr. Soott was eminently right on his
first guess. Brer Jones Is here, and will
most certainly be detained—as a guest
of the city—until further orders.

The Cities Help Pay.
••The country towns generally manage
to make the city pay the freight," re
marked a prominent wholesaler the other
day. "When they build their churches
they often send delegations to the city
after subscriptions, and their civic and
military organizations and charitable
institutions are never backward about
striking the city business or professional
man for assistance. But tbo latest
scheme is to make tho jobbing houses
in the city help pay for the Fourth of
July celebrations in the various villages
where they have customers.
"The jobber receives a letter froui the
subscription committee to the effect that
bis customers, Messrs. Doe, Roe, Jones
uihI Smith, will consider it a favor if he
will do something toward the celebra
tion. The letter says that the celebra
tion will call a great many people into
town, and of conrse the sale of his goods
will be increased, for special pains will
be taken to push the sale of the goods
purchased of those who help the celebra
tion by subscription.
It is » species of blackmail that the
jobbers must wink at, and the result is
he sends his little check for five or ten
dollars, at the same time bottling his
wrath. Yon can see that if he receives
similar letters from four or five towns
the draft upon him is not small, and
that he pays tribute to fonr or five of
them is an assured fact, as 1 hare letters
to prove. There are very few files on
the country subscription committees, 1
can assure you."—Utica Observer.
A Story of Love and Marriage.
The statement of the marriage license
clerk In Covington to a young lady yes
terday afternoon was one that wokld
disappoint even an ardent lover of the
male persuasion. She applied for a mar
riage license, and was told in cold, judi
cial accents that it was not yet leap
year, and that it was a custom, sanc
tioned by the laws of Kentucky, that
the gentleman in a marrying affair
should call for the license and do the
necessary oath taking. She was some
what abashed, but soon recovered her
serenity and went on to explain. Her
name was Leonora Scbloenker, she said,
and the gentleman to whom she was to
be married was John J. Ruby. It was
almost impossible for him to leave his
occupation before dark, and then it
wonld be too late to get the license.
Therefore, she had consented to come
over and secure the paper.
It seemed a deserving caso in the eyes
of the clerk, and be proposed a plan to
drenmvent the difficulty. He agreed to
hold the office open to a certain hour
and secured the promise of Jndge Shine
to be present at the appointed time to
perform the marriage ceremony. Miss
Schloenker went back to consult Mr.
Ruby, who was more than delighted
with the arrangement and 'readily as
sented to the proposition. Last evening
they met and went across the bridge,
and a half hour later returned husband
and wife.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
Tho Designs on Onr Money.
The director of the mint, authorized by
act of congress, has recently issued a
circular letter to artists inviting them to
submit "new designs of authorized em
blems or devices to be prepared or adopt
ed for the coins of the United States."
This on its face is highly to be com
mended, for onr coinage at present is
calculated to make the judicious weep
and the lukewarm patriot sympathize
with the strictures of the foreigner on
onr degree of Civilization. The criti
cisms on oar coinage could indeed he ap
plied with equal force to all onr moneys,
for the treasury notes, with their wealth
of turning lathe tracery and their sign
painter’s lettering, are no better than
onr coins. The one excuse for their ex
istence has been the difficulty which
they were supposed to oppose to counter
feiting; but this, it appears from late de
velopment#, Is largely imaginary, and
their ornate ugliness is therefore with
out extenuating circumstances. —Scrib
ner's. . v
Practical Philanthropy.
A sound scheme of philanthropy hat
been carried out with good results by
M. Felix Delenze, a gentleman, of for
tune in Paris, who some years ago, be
reft of wife and children, adopted six
teen orphan girls. These he installed it
his fine bnt desolate boose under a suits
hie staff of governesses, and had then
educated carefully under his own super
vision. Two of toe girls, now grown to
be women, were happily married Inst
year, three more, attended by nine of
their companions, were wedded at
triple ceremony this spring, and two
have taken toe veto Each girl is pre
sented with 84,000 and an excellent
tronasean on her wedding day, bnt aa
