MANY WEDDINGS IN LEAP YEAR
Boys Easier to Persuade Than Girls,
 Says County Clerk Parker.

The year 1912, which has just ended, being Leap Year, is accredit- ed with witnessing 5i more mar riage licenses in Polk county than the preceding year.
 County Clerk w. L. Parker says he believes that the boyse are more easily persuaded than the girls.
 He also believes, judging from the licenses issued in the last month, which numbered IS, that if the girls had had three more months of Leap Year the increase would more than treble, and there would be very few sweethearts left in Polk county.

Came Far to Marry.

They arrived there in the night, so came on to Little Rock. They ar rived there Christmas day and everything was closed up tight, so they had to come to Mena, arriving here Thursday morning. When MT. Parker got down to work the couple was waiting for him.

COVE CATCHES.

Christmas was celebrated here in very quiet and orderly manner. No drunks, no fights and very little 'grasshopper toddy' in circulation.
 Pete Little, fireman on the K. C.. S. and Tom Parker, operator at Foreman ate Christmas dinner at home. Two more Cove boys who have made good.
 The versatile correspondent at Acorn makes a good suggestion re- garding stores providing places of rest for lady customers, but it wouldn't work here. Too many old loafers with corn cob pipes.
 Route No. 1, rural free delivery, for Cove will be i'll operation by March 1, and placards are up announcing civil service examination for apph- cants for carrier will be held in Mena January 9. This is an un- usually long route, and the pay will probably not be less than $l, 1000 per year.
 Dr. J. R. Rector and family de- parted Tuesday for NOrfork, Baxter county. These estimable people leave many warm friends to regret their departure. Dr. Rector will enter into partnership with his son. in-law, who is engaged in the drug business and general practice of medicine
 Mrs. J. N. Nixon of Shady Point, Ok, stopped over to visit her daughter, Mrs. T. O. Hansard, while on her way home from Louisiana, and Mrs. Hansard accompanied her to Shady Point, but returned in time to spend Christmas at home.
 A. M. Green left Monday for Hope to close up some unfinished busi- ness. MT. Green, by the way, has proven himself to be a most enthu- siastic booster for Polk county, having located three good families here besides his own, and so far the purchase of properties amounts to three handsome residence prop critics in town and two good farms. All the new people are fine folks and making friends fast.
 And now as the old year goes out on the ebbing tide of time, let us turn out thoughts from the joys and sorrows of yesterday and look hopefully toward tomorrow, for eternity claims the fleeting years almost as swiftly as the sun marks the passing days. It is fitting time to make good resolutions to be better and do more, and to ex- change greetings of good cheer. So here is happy New Year to all the people connected with The Star of the first magnitude, and especially 10 the assistant editors who gather the news each week from their To- calities. An extra greeting is ex- tended to that old veteran philoso- pher who towers above us all like a storm-beaten oak above the little Acorn. May all the closing days of his life be like the golden sunset of summer time.

MORE TAXES COLLECTED IN 1912
Books Also Completed Month
 Earlier Than Ever Before.

County Clerk Parker reports quite an increase in tax collections in Polk county for 1912 over the pre- vious year, the exact amount of this being S2,244.96. In 1911 the to- tai was S98 256.96, and in 1912 $i00,- 50i.92.
 Another feature of interest is that in the past year the tax books were completed a month earlier than in any previous year in the history of Polk county, very creditable showing for the efficiency of the officers having this task in charge.
