AS the loungers crowded about the

THE MATRIMONIAL MARKET
During the Past Month Has Been Very
Dull In This City.

During the month of September
there were very few marriage Licenses
issued, for what cause it is not known
as this month is generally very popu-
lar for the event. It must be that the
stronger sex are afraid to ask or that
they are being turned down bv the
gentler sex. During the month there
were 10 licenses issued at the Office of
the clerk of the County court. which
was an increase of one over last
month.
The oldest man that received a Ii
cepse was so and the Youngest 81 the
eldest ladv was 80 and the youngest
II. All of the applicants were single
and none of them had been divorced.
There was only one license issued to
colored parties.

FEATHERBED REN0VATORS
LEAVE BETWEEN TWO DAYS FOR
OTHER FIELDS.
Much Complaint of Their N ethods from
People for Whom They Did
Work,

Several men who had been in Mar
tinsburg for week past, renovating
and buving feather beds. suddenly
departed for other fields of operation
early Sunday morning, and since their
departure there has boon much COM
plant on the part of the people for
whom they did work. One lady has
examined the work they did for her
and found that the men had taken her
duck and guinea feathers from the
ticks and substituted chicken feathers.
Another lady reports the same thing.
while third SAYS the work was done
in slovenly manner. The fact that
the men left suddenly between two
DAYS is in itself SUSPICIOUS. and it is
probable that other people will have
something to say on the subject as
soon as they closely inspect their
property.

Thus far, the magazine has prided it.
self on the timeliness of its features
and the healthy virilitv of its fiction.
Now. it has found itself entered on
its own mission. headed out on its

this individuality is the article bv
Alfred Henry Lewis, in the October
number, "The Madness of Much
Money This is a scathing attack on
the vulgar displays of great wealth to
which the new generation of million.
aires has treated the country. With a
brutal directness Mr.. Lewis diagnoses
the madness which often goes with
much and sudden wealth. and ridieuies
unsparinRly the gilded idlers who
make up the so-called American arls-
tocracy. 1t is rough, even a pitiless
arralgnment of certain prominent per
sons and it is SAFE to be generally read
and appreciated all over the country.
Throughout this number the magazine
shows purpose to depart from the
baleful worship of Mammon and its
possessors which characterizes SO much
of the writings in current period

THE LOCAL LIBRARY.

1t is with more than ordinary
pleasure that we call attention to
the efforts OF certain ladies in this
city TO maintain and upbuild the
Fredericksburg library, and in this
connection we desire to say that
every person who understands and
appreciates the benefits OF "a first
class library should give the local
one warm support. As is well known
when the ladies took charge OF the
library some years back it was in a
depleted state, but with commenda-
BILE energy they have without com
pensation or reward gradually
brought it up to its present stand
ard Of excellence. Mere words are
inadequate to describe the benefits
which accrue to every community
from Il well-selected library, but suf-
Zee To say that the presence OF such
an institution in city or town ele-
Yates the tone of the community,
improves the standard OF intellect
uality and furnishes recreation and
pleasures for those persons who find
solid enjoyment in reading good
books. The library is within the
reach of all who desire to avail
themselves Of it privileges and it is
well worth the support OF our people
generally.
