The Invention of a Woman

Taliaferro County again takes the cake.  We were shown a few days ago invention 
for coupling cars which is wonderful, and was invented by a colored woman, Mary 
Stewart, of this county.  She was the first servant born to the Hon. Alexander 
H. Stephens, and she lived all her life in Taliaferro County.  Her invention is 
simple and almost perfect.  She said the idea came to her in a dream and she 
made the model according to her vision.  She used for material in making the 
model old oyster cups.  We believe her idea carried out will make her a 
fortune.  She is the only colored woman inventor in the world. – Crawfordville
