PERMITS GIVEN

THANKSGIVING DAY FEATURED
BY APPLICATIONS FOR MAR.
RAGE LICENSES.

There is one instance where "23"
had 9 significance other than that
usually given that number. This Is
seen by'a perusal Of the marriage IL
cense book in the Office OF Clerk Geo.
Phillips in the court house. Out of
forty-seven people who did homage to
the love-god Cupid during November,
eleven fell victim to his wiles on the
fateful twenty-third. OF course there is
an exception to all rules, and why not
to the hoodoo of 1892" Then, too, 1t
may as we'll be remembered that No
vember rs was conserved as the an
nual turkey festival and some appar-
emily preferred turtle dove for thanks
giving to the accustomed turkey. The
next date In number Of licenses grant
ed was the nineteenth, when seven
bowed to Cupid's wishes. Sixteen days
were used by applicants for the permit
to wed and the number per day ranged
from one I'd eleven.
