THE AMERICDS WEEKLY TIME8-REC0RDER: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1902.
FOR AGED AND SICK
HOME MAY BE GUILT
THIS WEDDING WEB A TANGLE.
Double
Great Charity in Americus
is Proposed.
BY LADIES OF THE AID SOCIETY
This Organization Has Done a Great
Work But Can Do More if a Homo
for Patients Is Provided-Effort Will
^Assume Shape Soon.
Americas may soon have a place of
refnge for the aged, the sick and indi
gent here if the efforts of one of onr
best known oharities, the Ladies Be
nevolent Aid Society, prove anccessfal,
and the noble women connected with
it know of no snch word as fail.
Certain it is that snob a home is very
greatly needed here.
There are in Americas many aged
and infirm women withoat means, and
very often without the bare necessities
of life. They cannot beg, and wonld
not nnder any condition.
Their presence here is known to this
society, and in a modest way have their
wants been supplied. Bat the society
is without means; those whom they
wonld aid are widely scattered, and the
need of a home where they coaid be
given attention is sorely felt.
This society was organized six years
ago throngb the efforts of that venera
ble Christian women, Mrs. Mary A,
Hardwick.
It had a hard straggle, bat f ally con
scious of the good they were doing the
members worked on, carrying cheer
and oomfort to the poor and afflicted
medicine to the siok ones and prayers
for the dying. Color was; no barrier
their aim was to help the distressed,
The eooiety is non-seotarian, ladies
of all the congregations here assisting
in the work of humanity.
Bnt with a home at their disposal,
these good women can do a greater
work than throngb individual effort.
Their work is carried on how through
contributions only.
The society has the oo-operation
the ministers of Americus, The Times
Recorder knows of scores of cases
wherein these good and noble women
have rendered assistance and by their
efforts saved the lives of afilioted ones
living in poverty and neglect.
The Times-Becorder bespeaks for the
Ladies Benevolent Aid Society the
cordial help of the good people
Amerious towards establishing a home
for sick and indigent women as pro
posed, and will help them financially
or in any way in which it can.
Let some one open a subscription
list for the home, and these noble wo
men wi>! soon see their laudable work
thus advanced.
Some Kinships Caused By
Tiou'p.
The crowd at the courthouse yester
day was diecaasing the odd relation
ships often resulting from marriage,
when a Lee street lawyer told of an in
stanco wherein a father and son mar
ried a widow end her pretty daughter,
the old man taking the miss and his
son the charming widow. The young
man thus became the father-in-law of
bis own father, and yet his father's
wife was bis stepmother, but as ho
was his father’s son his wife became
the stepdaughter of her own child. In
oourse of time the children of the old
man and the daughter became the
grandchildren of the widow and son.
The sons and daughters of the son and
the widow were brothers and sisters,
by marriage, of the children thus born
to the old man and the daughter. The
father’s wife was the mother-in-law of
her own mother, and her children be
ing the brothers and sisters of her
husband's son, who was also her
mother's husband, not only made bis
wife his grandmother, but placed him
in the position of being his own grand,
father. His father becoming his son
in-law, bis father's children, who were
his brothers and sisters, became also
his grandchildren, because they were
the children of his wife’s daughter,
The children of the two marriages be
came doubly step-brothers and sisters
and ancles and aunts and nephews and
nieces of each other, and in due time
the son became his own grandfather.

The Board of Education of Americus
will appeal to the Supreme Court from
the decision of Judge Z. A. Little
joho, restraining that body from car
rying intoefiect a rule recently adopted
regarding the admieeon to the schools
of those ohildren whose fathers refnse
to pay poll tax.
Such a determination was reaohed
by the Board of Education at a moot
ing held yesterday evening.
The question was disenssed at some
length and the decision to test the le
gal rights of the Board before the Su
preme court was very nearly unani
mous, and this will soon be done.
It will be remembered that some
throe weeks ago the Sohool Board
adopted a resolution whioh. excluded
from the city schools the ohildren of
those parents who would not pay the
poll tax of £3 to the oily and 81 to the
oonnty, thinking by this means back
taxes might be collected.
Bnt in the injnnotfon proceedings
instituted against the Board Judge
Littlejohn sustained the prayer of the
petitioners and thus set aside the reso
lution of the Board of Education,
The decision of the higher ooart will
bo awaited with interest.
Supt. Mathis reported to the Board
the overerowding of pupils at Furlow
Sohool. The attendance there at this
session is larger than ever before, end
additional room, either in the ereoUon
of a larger building or making addi
tions to the one now need, is quite Im
perative.’
The matter wasreiemd lo the build-
log committee for consideration.
