Cooperstown courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., Dak. [N.D.]) 1883-1884, 1884-02-29
BATCH OF BACHELORS
The Courier's Catalogue of Comely
and Cheerful Celebrates willing
to be Chosen Life Con.
sorts, ON whom
Merry Maidens May Make their Mashes,

Merry Maidens May Make their Nashes.
Actuated by motives Of lofty order
the Courier hereto subjoins list and
brief description of Cooperstown' most
desirable and bashful bachelors, hoping
that in doing So it may assist some east
ern maid in the exercise Of her leap year
prerogative. We have been cautious to
select only those liable to make good
husbands, but who are, as a rule, too
modest and devoid of gall to propose for
themselves, and are therefore entirely
dependent upon leap year custom for
life consorts. They are fully as willing
as was Barkis, but are the kind that be-
come ''smothery'' when attempting to
say ''wilt thou" etc.
This list is given entirely for young
women east Of the Mississippi, and it is
due them and the below bachelors to
state that the only reason we are per-
mitted to present such splendid array
Of marriageable masculinity is because
there Is but one female to every ten
males in this region; otherwise, perhaps
not one of these desirable young fellows
would be in the matrimonial market
Human nature Graves love and SYM
pathy, and it is our earnest desire to
allay as much as possible the aching of
these hearts for human salve. The hap
piest man OH earth is the one honored
10y a good woman's love; the happiest
woman is she who sways her scepter
royalty in ''woman's kingdom" her
husbands heart and a happy home.
The L. o address of each of the fol-
lowing gentlemen is sCooperstown, Griggs
County, North Dakota, and it may be
we'll to add that it is not necessary for
applicants to possess the face of Venus
or form of Hebe. for the demand is 80
brisk they are apt to be accepted SO long
as they wear Mother Hubbard dresses
and do their hair up OH lead. To start
the catalogue we will name:
JOSEPH BUcnlIE1r.-Prosper deal
er i'll farm machinery; blonde, full fea-
lures, Well-knit frame; intelligent and
deep thinker; genial and a hale fellow
we'll met among men, but rather shy
among women; considers himself matri-
monial proof, but if some pretty, plump
brunette, with ruby lips, dark eyes, rosy
cheeks and a sweet disposition should
formally propose we'll wager years
subscription that he would gladly en,ln-
ciate a sweet, soft yes" This is q
good catch.
MAYNARD CKANE.--l4ocal manager
for Lenllam f. 4 l.. Co.; moderate
bruno with ''too killing mustache;
soulful eyes; free and fascinating con-
versationalist with cosmopolitan man.
ners; draws good salary and owns IL
Florida orange grove; is not shy, but
we'll fitted for a ''maSher' if inclination
led him in such direction. We are not
certain that he hasn't a romance of his
OWL, but there can no harm result from
''trying him on.''
and land attorney; dark complexion, but
light enough for beauty; dignitied in
manners but fond of female society;
good form; tasty in dress, and man
who has seen much OF the universe, but
is still possessed OF susceptibility. 1t
will not do to let him run until another
leap year, for he is very apt to become
ultra in his opinions on matrimony.

pearing blonde; amber hair with mus
tacle to match; rotund in physique; law

needs a consort to help care for her
wealth. Girls, seek and ye shall tind.'

but not diminutive in determination;
dark hair and lu4v uriant full beard; pleas
ant and prosper us; iron-clad in integ-
