New Location! New Goods!

In all the years that Herman Lidicker
has been in business in Edgerton he has
been successful in pleasing those who
patronized him and in keeping the quail
ity of his goods up. He is now in shape
to offer the public fine line of family
supplies trife better than ever before,
because they are fresh from the city
market. Groceries, teas, coffees, canned
goods, and in fact anything for table use
can be had at his store. A line of tobac-
cos, cigars, candies and all confection-
aries carried in endless variety. Prices
for goods will be found right, and if the
quality is not up to standard the goods
may be returned. Lidicker always does
as he says, and for this reason the pub
lie patronize him freely. Call at his
store on Front street and inspect the
new stock which arrived this week.

MANY MARRIAGES INVALID
Change in License Law Has Caused
the Trouble

Richmond Va. Dec. 25.-Consternation
has been caused by the discovery that
all marriages in Virginia since December
y. where licenses have been issued by
the clerk of the county court. are invalid
The new judiciary system provinces for
circuit courts and the adjustment of
county courts, and statute was passed
and approved December L providing that
thereafter all marriage licenses should be
issued by the clerks OF the circuit OF cor
poration courts. The act took effect on
its passage and as it has the effect of re-
pealing al laws in conflict with it mar
riage licenses issued by the county clerks
since the day of approval Of the new
statute are invalid.
There have been many weddings in Viz
ginia since that day, and among them are
persons Of prominence. Among these are
William Wheeler Milford of New York
city who was on December 10 married TO
Miss Phoebe Parson Clark of South Bos-
ton, in Halifax county. Another wedding
Of prominence that is made invalid is
that Of Surgeon Harry Weston Judd
United States navy. and Miss Mary Crit
tenden. James Bayne OF Portsmouth. o.
ana Miss Netue Newbill Of Northum-
berland county, Va; s @. Bennett and
Miss Annie Gooisbie are among the num-
erous other couples affected.
Upon the discovery Of the existing con-
dition Of affairs today an effort was made
to pass a bill TO validate the marriages
that have taken place since December
- but the lack of a quorum In the house
defeated the purpose.

AS TO TRUANCY OFFICERS
Some County Superintendents Are in
Dilemma

Topeka. Dec. 2.-Some of the county
superinlendents are in a dilemma. When
school opened last fall they appointed
truancy officers, as the law provided.
Under the law county could be divided
into from one to five districts. Some
of the superintendent divided their coun-
ties into five districts. Now they find
that they are not in need of that many
truancy officers. The law doesn't give
them authority to change the districts
after they are once established. The at
torney generals Office has ruled that
while the law is silent on that point
there probably would be no objections
raised if the superintendent arbitrarily
cut down the number of districts.
