COlllAGK OIItLS?
Seventy-two Years of Age, find Living With
Her Sixth Husband.
Who says marriago is a failure? Not
much! Read this:
Mrs. Bryson Brothors, who lives In
Blount county, about twelve miles east
of Oneonta, is now 72 yoars of age and
has been married six times, the lirst
taking place during her 18th year.
Sometime before her lirst matrimonial
nnion she presented herself before a for
tune teller to be enlightened In regard
to her future and the path ovor which
■he would tread through life. The fore
teller of things to transpire said to Urs.
Brothers in the course of detailing her
future that she would bo married seven
times, and she now has explicit confi
dence In the truthfulness of what was
told her and she still believes that the
seventh marriago will tako placo, not
withstanding the fact that she is now 72
years of ago.
She proved a faithful, true, and In
every way a loyal wife Id each instance,
and, as a rcsidont of Blount county for
fifty years, has won an enviable position
In the estimation of all who know her,
and a large clrclo of friends who wish
her a continuance of tko success with
which slio 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; Becond,
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,
A Little Girl’s Experience in a Lighthouse.
Mrs. and Mrs. Loren Trescott are
keepers of tho government lightliouso at
Sand Beach, Mich., and arc blessed with
a daughter four yoars old. Last April
she was taken down with measles, fol
lowed with a dreadful cough and turn-
lug into a fever. Doctors at home and
in Detroit treated her, but in vaiu. She
grew worse rapidly, until slio was a
mere “handful of bones." Tho she
tried Dr. King'B New Discovery and
after the use of two and a half bottles,
was completely cured. They say Dr.
King’s New- Discovery is worth its
weight iu gold, yet you may get a trial
bottle free at E. G. Eldridge's drug
store. 0
Before doing anything had, It might be
wise to remember that maybe this is the
day when you will get caught at it.—
Atchison Globe.
“Oh, if I had only taken this medicine
earlier in life, ryhat years of suffering it
would have saved me.”’ was the touch
ing exclamation of one who had been
cored of rheumatism by the use of
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Scores of such
cases are cn record.
CHEEK CI’I
Why Should Stock Speculators Make Hard
Times for the ltest of Cs?
The Boston Herald takes this sonsible
view of tho financial situation:
“Wall streot is still in the dumps, and
this feeling Is reflected in State street.
Tho stock oxchanges aro lifeless, and
tho brokers complain thnt they are 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 aro beginning to move,
and there will soon bo activity all along
the line. Meanwhile, because those
who buy and soil stocks aro temporarily
living on short fare, there is no reason
why the rest of us should not continue
to enjoy our cakes and dumplings."
Just so! What are stocks and bondB
to nine-tenths of the human family ?
How did the world move boforo the In
veation of stocks and bonds? What do
theso things mako grow, anyway? What
good aro speculators and gamblors In
this world? Wliat do they do to help
those who do tho overy day work of this
or any other land? And why should the
men who toil with muscle or brain bo
disturbed or upset by a class who do
nothing.
Legitimate business seems to bo ail
right, as usual, and as for stock spec
ulators and gamblers, the| world would
move smoother without thorn.
Here Lies 1
Epitaphy is a demoralizing kind of
tally. It appears on tbo tombstone, and
eulogizes the dead almost to tho very
stars. Tito usual method of beginning,
is: “norc lios.” Very suggestive, for
the lies are frequently quite astonishing
—almost enough so to both amuse and
amaze the dead of whom they aro writ
ten. A truthful epitaph, in many in
stances, would bo: “Hero lies one who
omitted to tako Dr. Fierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery.” If sick and sufi'er-
ing, and dreading premature death, test
tho potent remedy. It cures all chronic,
liver, blood, and lung diseases, as
biliousness, skin and scalp diseases,
scrofulous sores and swellings, salt-
rlicuni, tetter, erysipelas, and even
scrofula of tbo lungs (or Consumption),
if taken in timo.

Americus, August 5, 1801.
Tho man who avoids mistakes by never
trying to do anything, makes a big
m< stake.
“Two Souls with but a Single Thought.”
As they sat side by side they sighed.
"Oh, my idol!” he said, and then idled.
“Dear Luke,” said she, as she looked,
“I will wed thee if thou wilt," and lie
wilted. The honeymoon passed In an
excess of joy. Excess In eating rich
food brings indigestion, sick headache,
and frequent attacks of dizziness. Dr.
Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets will euro all
theso. They aro tiny, sugar-coated, and
easy to swallow. No other preparation
compares with them as a Liver Pill.
They are guaranteed, and one is a dose.
It is so much casior to tell people how
good they should bo than it is to show
them.
The distention of the stomach which
many people feel after eating, may be
due to improper mastication of the food;
but, in most cases, it indicates a weak
ness of the digestivo organs, tho best
romedy for which is one of Ayer’s Pills,
to bo taken after dinner.
Tho only objection to tho self-made
man is that in so many cases he has
failed to put himself together so as to
work noiselessly.—Washington Post.
Presto! Change! Gray and faded
beards mado to assume their original
color by applying Buckingham’s Dyo for
the whiskers. It never fails to satisfy.
