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. SPEAKING OF PEOPLE. CHEER L’Pt 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. DeSoto Sots.

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. A Fifty-Founder.

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.

Felix Delenze, a gentleman, of for tune in Paris, who some years ago, be reft of wife and children, adopted six teen orphan girls.
