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. Letter List* Tho following unclaimed lotters will bo sent to tho doad letter offico if not called for in ton days.

C. Parker, Miss Kity Buben, Miss Pollie A Stewart, Crofford Smith, W B Todd, Master Willie White, S K William, Miss Nellie Williams, Miss Adllne Wlmbush, Fourth-class—W H Dean. J. C. Ro.nky, Postmaster. 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!
