The Weddings Of October.

The wedding record for the month
just closed foots up grand total OF thir-
ty Ave, fraction over one for each day
in the month. OF this number twenty
one licenes were granted white appli
cants and fourteen to colored. 1t seldom
happens that the white exceed the col>
ored race in this county on the marriage
record especially in the autumn and win
ter months, but this year the white pop
ulation have taken the lead in matters
matrimonial.
When compared with October 1888 the
record shows progressive sign of inn
provement, as the corresponding month
of last year shows grand total of but
thirty three, seventeen OF whom
we're white and sixteen colored.
