IMPORT THEIR WOMEN.
Fatherland Furnishes Many Hunga.
rfan Brides Who Cross the
Ocean for Homes.

The old colonial scheme OF bargain.
ing for wives has become popular
among the Hungarian residents OF
Schoenville. A score of blooming dam
sells from the fair plains of the Danube
lately arrived in Pittsburgh and hur.
ried at once to the new settlement
where they will soon become the bet
ter halves of as many husky workmen
employed in the Pressed Steel car
works. The method of the Virginia
planters in purchasing spouse for a
few pounds of tobacco will be followed
in a certain measure in Schoenville. OF
course there will be no open barter
ing and money is not likely to be ex-
changed, but nevertheless the men who
claim the hands of the Hungarian
maidens must be able to show that
they are able to. support the brides who
have journeyed so far to complete the
conjugal happiness of the mill men.
Since the founding of the new town
on the banks of the Ohio there has
been an amazing dearth of marriage
able women in the community. Amer
lean girls of the Gibson type, the tailor
made variety or the favorite silk-lined
beauties do not meet with much favor
in the eyes of Schoenville, says the
Philadelphia Press.
The would-be bridegrooms there are
compelled to get up early and work
late, so that there is little opportunity
to go accounting beyond their own
neighborhood. Finally the news of the
scarcity of eligible girls in Schoenville
drifted beyond the sea. 1t was pleas
ant duty for Cupid to perform, and
when he whispered the glad tidings
under the cottage windows on the far
away plains of Hungary he was greeted
with many rapturous sigh. Twenty
girls were willing to risk the tempests
of an autumn voyage on the Atlantic
to become the brides of happy homes
in America, and, banding themselves
together with Cupid, they came over
under the love gods tender care. When
they reached their journeys end the
entire population of the town was on
hand to receive them. Two engage
ments had been announced before noon
and others will follow in rapid success
sion. Courtships will be short in
Schoenville, and other maidens soon
will be imported. Asmay be supposed,
the task of having and holding wife
in the new town is not one of extreme
ease, and the men who have been made
happy will treat their wives well.

windmill Power for Dynamo..

A new idea for utilizing the power
of the wind in order to produce cleo
tricity has just been made known.
Windmills are too uncertain to permit
of their being used for driving dyna-
mos, so it is proposed that windmills
be used to pump water into high res
ervoir or tank, and this water would
drive dynamo in an ordinary way by
means of a turbine. Although the
windmill might work fitfully, it would
be sufficient to keepup a constant sup
ply of water so that the production of
electricity would be continuous

Auent Drainage.

AS the members OF the legislature
became fully advised of the advan-
tage of an appropriation for drain
age to state lands and the general
development Of the country thereby,
opposition to such measure
dropped to minimum. No doubt
in the minds of some members the
drainage bill was looked upon as @
measure to obtain 40 much money
from the state without any corres-
ponding benefit. The drainage bill
carrying $4,000 appropriation
passed the house and is now in the
senate where it will be taken care
by the friends of the measure. Sena-f
tor Grindeland has introduced a bill
which will permit of the assessment
OF benefits Ito lands adjacent to
drainage bitches constructed by the
state. This law will cover all that is
needed in Roseau county without inn
posing any great expense to indi-
vidual land owners, for the reason
that the main drainage bitches
located by the survey made by Civil
Engineer Ralph will be through lands
owned by the state either as swamp.
school or university land. There are
$1,000 acres OF swamp lands TO be-
redeemed by the construction of
bitches proposed by the Ralph sur
vey. The most of this land, now
practically of no value, will by pro-
per drainage be enhanced in value to
not less than six dollars per acre and
will without question become the
most valuable lands in the state for
all purposes. Aside from this the
main drainage bitches will be of
great benefit to lands owned by indi-
vlduals as such bitches will permit OF
system OF farm drainage along
public highways. Tie state as a
matter of fact Will be the yreatest
gamer by a proper system of drain
age, at least so far as Roseau county
is concerned. The settlers in a coun-
try like Roseau county are deserving
OF every reasonable help from the
state which aids in the development
OF it's agricultural and stock raising
resources. The state in years gone
by has aided various portions and
localities OF the state by grants for
railroads and other purposes to de-
velop them and it is not asking much
OF this great commonwealth to use
it's treasury in further aiding and
bettering the conditions OF the from
tier settler. Pine lands give other
counties vast assessed valuation
while Roseau county and the Red
River valley depend upon farming.
In the end these counties will have
the greater and more substantial
valuation and when the northwest
ern part of the state has more fully
developed the state will be repaid
ten fold, interest and principal, for
any expenditure it has ormay make
in the way OF drainage, the farmers
will be more content, happy and
prosperous, and the original intent
OF the grant OF swamp lands to the
state will in a small way have been
carried out, for it is not generally
known that the original grant OF
swamp lands to the states provided
that the proceeds from the sale of
the same or appropriation in kind
should be devoted to the redemption
! oisuch lands.-Roseau County Times.

HER HUSBAND SOON FOLLOWS.
Very Sad Death of Couple at The
Plains

Rarely has the Times Recorder been
called upon to record a sadder occa-
sion than that which now shrouds the
little town of Plains in gloom-the
death of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Clarke
"a couple widely known and held in
the highest esteem there.
There was an interval of few hours
only between the parting on earth and
the reunion above.
Mrs. Clarke died at late hour
Thursday afternoon after brief Ill
ness with typhoid fever. Her death
was a shock to all, as she had been i'll
but very short while.
The death of his wife was terrible
blow to the devoted husband. He had
been in i'll health for some time, and
the passing away of his wife doubtless
fastened the end He died at an early
hour yesterday, surviving her less
than half day.
1t was indeed day of sorrow IN the
little town of Plains.
Mrs. Clarke was a true, pure and
noble Christian, a devoted wife and
mother. Mr.. Clarke was widely known
as successful farmer and sterling
citizen. He was perhaps forty eight
years of age, and brother of Mrs.
William NJ. TullIs, of this city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tullis left Yesterday
morning to attend the funeral of Mrs.
Clarke, and not until they reached the
saddened home did they hear of the
sudden death of her brother.
MIR. Clarke was the eldest of family
of eleven sons and daughters, and in
his death this circle is broken for the
first time. Besides Mrs. Tullis he has
another sister residing in Americus,
Mrs. j. t. McLendon, besides rela-
tives in the county.
The funeral services yesterday were
conducted by Rev. j. G.. Harrison, of

HIS OATS ALL RIGHT.
This Lawyer is Successful Farmer
as Well.

Anyone might easily believe that, as
a very successful lawyer, Col. James
Williams talents lay chiefly in that di-
rection. This is true in a measure, as
he ranks among the best in his profess
sion, but he makes a success of what
ever he undertakes.
Long years ago, before he went to
the Legislature and acquired fame,
Col. Williams took great deal of ply
steal exercise anent the battery of 8
Georgia mule.
And as farmer he is entitled to q
pastmaster's degree.
Half the members of the Americas
Bar, including Elk Mayor Hixon, Elk
Judge Maynard, Elk Senator Dodson.
Representative Lane, Judge Ansley.
City Attorney Taylor, Col. Williams
and dozen others own fine farms
near Americas, and run them very
successfully.
They do this as a side issue, and
not because they have not amassed
wealth at the bar.
Their discussions upon agriculture
has engendered friendly rivalry, and
each lawyer-farmer makes it a point
to excel his brethren at farming as he
would otherwise.
One or two succeeded in raising only
a mortgage last year.
While all the others are tempting
fate in the cotton patch this year Col.
Williams, with great sagacitY, execut-
ed flank movement and planted oats.
He has just harvested his crop, and
the great yield makes him the toast of
the farming fraternity.
Fifty bushels per acre is the record
made by Col. Williams.
On his home place N the city he has
just gathered and measured 161 bush
els from field of only three and a
quarter acres.
But he has sure enough farm in
the country, and on this yield he aver
aged fifty bushels per acre. Oats Will
be oats before next planting time, and
Col. Williams will yet "wear a roll"
from the sale of seed oats raised on his
farm IN Sumter.
In fact, Col. Williams could open q
school and teach some of the others
here how to farm.

OUR SOLDIERS LIKE VETERANS.
Perform the Duties of Camp Life al
cambridge.

cambridge, June 21.-The Americus
Light Infantry, like the other gallant
companies of the Fourth Regiment,
have settled down to the duties of
camp life like veterans. All are well,
and the troops here are enjoying this
encampment more perhaps than any
previous one.
The camp has settled down to the
routine of duties, and all seem to be
earnestly working to make it a success.
At dress parade yesterday the whole
town turned out, and the elegant
equipages and beautiful ladies made
the occasion one to be remembered.
There is on the grounds a capacious
dancing pavilion, which, with the
band to furnish the music, affords
pleasure to many.
The city is filling with visitors, and
the occasion is much enjoyed.
There will be several private enter
tainments during the encampment in
honor of the different officers. A COM
pany composed of the local talent of
Albany played Captain Rocket" at
the Opera House last night to large
and appreciative audience.
The good feeling between the men
of the different companies, and the
courtesies to each other, are especially
noticeable.
