373 Marriages in Wake This Year.

Since January 1st there has been 373
marriage licenses issued from the Regis
ter of Deeds office of Wake county.
This is in excess of the number gener-
ally issued up to this time every year.
During the month of October there were
II more licenses issued than any other
month of the year, owing to the fact,
perhaps. that many couples came here
during the Fair to get married and spend
their honeymoon on the Fair Grounds.
Below is given a table showing the
months and number of licenses issued
January, As; February, 40; March, 40;
April, IS; May, 81; June, II; July, "a;

Did Beautiful Work.

There have been many kind express
sions made concerning the excellence of
many designs and floats which made
brilliant the Floral Parade last week.
The work of Mr.. Thomas Enniss in this
line was magnificent and he exhibited
superb taste. He is resourceful artist
in decorating and making beautiful dis
plays and is entitled to much praise for
his exceedingly clever work. THE best
parade ever given in the Fair is what
the people say, and this is enough to
make Mr.. Enniss happy.

A Pie: SAINT Memory.

Yesterday all the amusement features
and tents disappeared from the State
Fair Grounds, and nothing Of the Mid
way is left but the merry go-round and
some eating houses, these holding over
for the Negro Fair this week.
The various exhibits and displays We're
dismantled yesterday and exhibitors
were busy all day clearing up and
packing. There is nothing left now but
the memory of the Great State Fair and
it is a pleasant one.

that Wild beasts and birds OF the eagle
