An Interesting Record.

Since the first day of January the rec.
order of this county has issued 2l6 mar.
riage licenses. A number of them were
for use outside of the county, but probably
they were equalizsd by the number issued
in other counties and used in this. While
so many are flying into matrimony, there
are some who want to hy out, and if the e
who are now applying to the present term
of the circuit court are granted divorces
the judicial machinery of the county will
have separated LOG couples in that time
Divorces, according to that showing, are
nearly one half of the number of marriages
In this county at least.

The Nevada Democrat says /:

IF the papers of Missouri would
talk the business development of the
state more and politics less the state
would be greatly benefited. Already
all along the line you can detect the
senseless chatter that Colonel So and
So is mentioned by his friends for
such and such an Office" These pro-
fessional politicians and newsr lpers
waste q great deal Of valuable time
and space on matters of no interest o.
benefit to anybody except the pro-
fessional ofice-grabbers, that might
be used in showing up the valuable
resources of the state and In the in
creas;ug of the wealth and happiness
Of its people"
The.Democrat is right. u In q state
like Missouri, with IFS wonderful
minerals, its rich soil, its grand peo-
pie. there is a much better field for
real work than, in the political arena
and the petty politician and his ann
billions should become secondary
considerations when it comes to de-
voting valuable time and space to
them.

a formidable showing of Indebtedness,

great and wealthy States upon which
it rests are taken into account. Most
of these States were not long ago I'm.

ill of these, what is 5000, 600, 900 for

has probably half of that amount
invested in manufactures. The
banking capital of the state is En-
other large item, and what would be
more natural, if capital was lacking,
than to mortgage land to obtain it ?
The banking and manufacturing
capital of the states referred to has
been nearly all obtained from outside
sources, for the ststes which are sci
down by contemporary as in con-
dition but little short of bankruptcy
could not have been created in such
a short space of time as has passed
since the states were settled, saying
nothing of the vast amount of wealth
which the inhabitants of these states
now possess.

As Thursday night was Hallow zen,

things looked on Friday morning we
guess it is so.
