CHEAP JOHN, Commerce street. The following bit of history of the girlhood days of one of Geor¬ gia’s brightest women is taken from the Philadelphia Record: “Mrs. Mario Louis My rick, who has declared that Robert L. Berner shall never be Gov ernor of Georgia, is a snappy, bright little woman, Bernei was an old-time suitor of her hand, but site preferred the wealthy son of Rev. D. J. My rick, Berner remained a and went into politics, W lien his old sweetheart became free again by the death of her hus¬ band, she helped to make him president of the Senate. Later, however, he fell under her dis¬ pleasure, and she is now oppos¬ ing, in her newspaper, his can¬ vass for the gubernatorial can¬ didacy. Mrs. My rick maiden name was ricudder, aud she is of a family well known in New Jer¬ sey, where the members are quite rich. Marie Louis, who was born m Tennessee, was hard to control, and in tire late bO’s was Bewt to one of her auutb in New Jersey to go to school. Una day Henry Ward Beecher was a guest at dinner, and some¬ thing was said about the “wiki little girl from Tennessee,” and she threw a pickle in his face. Then she was sent home to her father.” New Barbershop.
