 If marriage license could be termed a present the Probate Judge ofice Will certainly do its share this year at Christmas time. owing to the rush that always comes in the marriage li- cense department day or SO before Christmas arrangements. have been made that will relieve the clerks dur ing this rush of duties.
 Business is now rather quiet as near ly every negro who contempiates, com hitting matrimony Is waiting the time when he can take unto himxelf a bride as Christmas present. The chief work of the clerks at the Probate Dudge's office just before Christmas will be issuing license to these negroes.
 The marriage license issuance this year. will be about the same as it was last as this is one department of the county court routine ia which there Is little change. It Is generally under stood that no matter what conditions may surround Iend effect other of the judicial departments that the marriage licenses will be issued just the same and in practically the sane numbers.
