Yankee Ingenuity In Town.

One of our enterprising firms.
McCollum Bros. has the most unique
window attraction seen in this city
for some time. 1t Is an automatic de-
vice for displaying and featuring
Triangle 5-Ply Collars. In the upper
part OF the sign are assembled some
nondescript pieces Of metal which in
geniously resolve themselves into the
words--"Triangle 5-Ply Collars" at
set intervals. BY another operation
on the left, the five plies of the collar
are folded back in turn, emphasizing
this special feature; while a magnify
ing glass falls into position at tre pro-
per moment to show button hole
feature. This is all accompanied by
explanatory cards. which appear sim
ultaneously with the operation. The
window is we'll worth visit even
though you are not interested i'm coll
lars-while inside the store attractive
souvenirs are given to ali visitors.

To those who have not thought Of
1t, the fact that there have been over
four hundred marriages in this coun-
ty in the past year will come as a
surprise. yet. nevertheless, this fact
Is corroborated by the books in the
office Of the county clerk Of court in
which every marriage license issued
by him Is recorded.
The records show that up to July /,
just one year after the marriage Ii
cense law went into effect, 1O1 mar
riage licenses We're issued to white
couples and 306 to colored couples.

Now that the sewer repairs are
practically completed it is about time
that those drain pipes on Washington
street, Hampton avenue and other
streets were taken up and cleaned
out. After each rain a regular pond
is formed at the corners on these
streets where the drain pipes need to
be cleaned, much to the annoyance
But perhaps it may be better to wait
until we get our new government and
a manager who will know how to in
stall sand traps and trash gratings
50 that the drain pipes will not get
choked up again in a short time.
