MARRIAGE LICENSES ISSUED IN FAULKNER COUNTY BREAK
 RECORD FOR 1913.

Three hundred and forty-one mar rlage licenses-a number exceeding all previous records-were issued in the office of County Clerk J. A. Lea during the year just ending. The 682 per sons who were married during the year averaged nearly three for each 100 population, percentage consid- cred unusually high.
 The next nearest number of licenses issued in one year in this county was 3O8 in 1911. Last year the number was 3O6; in 1910 there were only 275 and in 1909 273 licenses issued-a to- tai of 1,503 for the past five years.
 As $3 is charged for each marriage license, fees from this source brought the office of the county clerk during 1913 the sum of $1,023. Of this amount 50 cents on each license or $170.50, goes into the county general fund and $85250 goes to the clerk

TO THE SUFFRAGETTES.
Ernest Neal,

In We olden times We old-maid aunts
Neer painted for pair of pants.
Demure at home they homely sat
Content with rOcking-chair and cat.
SANITY, proud and prim were they
Alas! alas! they've passed away.
The bachelor girl is everywhere,
with masculine voice and manish
air;
She pants for pants and cigarettes,
And rants and rants with Suffra-
gettes.
Ye Puritan shades and Cavaliers!
Ye Plymouth maids and Jamestown
dears!
The tables have turned since your
race was run:
Now it's bachelor maid and old maid
son.
First to the ballot then to the fight;
The former implies the latter is
right
His rival in politics, business and
trade,
And all of the callings where money
is made,
woman ceases now TO be mans help
meet
To become help-graft, help-swin-
dle-and-cheat.
"He sings to the world and she to
the nest,
In the ear Of Nature, which sings
best?"
When Lowell wrote those catchy
He had in mind the women and
birds
That God sent down from Eden's
shade,
And not the goose that time has
made.
Among all of the fowls none of the
rest
Compel the male to sit on the nest,
And he wouldn't do it while his wife
runs loose
If he were not himself a son-of-a-
goose.

distinctly understood that it is not
an organization coming in conflict
with any patriotic society, neither is
it intended to supercede in any way
or NEEDLE in the affairs of local So

On the other hand suffer us to
state that our purpose in coming in
touch with these organizations is to
strengthen them in the grand work
they are doing.
The executive committee has
placed the membership fee as fol-
lows: annual membership, Csc;
contributing membership, $500;

Girls Dress, With Dickey, and With
Two Styles of Sleeves.

Blue chambrey with blue and
white striped percale for trimming
is here shown. The design will also
look well in white linen embroidered
in self or contrasting color, or in
crepe, wolfe, corduroy and other sea-
sonable materials. The closing is at
the side in front, and the waist may
be worn without the dickey. The
long sleeve with band cuff may be
used, while for cool summer dress
the shorter sleeve may be preferred.
This design offers many possibilities
in style and trimming, and is easy to
develop. The pattern is cut in four
sizes: 8, 10, IL and IA years. 1t
requires 3-8 yards of 40-inch ma
terial for a 10-year size.

known as the Episcopal Church in
the United States Of America"
This amendment is expected to be
the center Of the controversy TO
change the name Of the church and
the low churchmen offered immediate
opposition TO this memorial After
considerable discussion a motion was
carried referring the memorial to tho
Committee on Canons It will be
several days before this matter can
be taken up before the House Of Depu-
ties.
The large measure Of success OBJ
taned today by the high church fac
tion came as surprise, following the
almost unanimous election of Rev. DR..
Alexander Mann, rector Of Trinity
Church, OF Boston, TO the presidency
of the House of Deputies at the ses-
sion yesterday. DR.. Mann is one Of
the leaders Of the low church move
ment and when he divided his ap-
pointments equally between represen-
tatives of the high and low church
the delegates were astonished.
Several other important resolutions
were introduced and referred to com
mittees. One would authorize an ap-
peal to be made to publishers and
authors to eradicate alleged erron-
eous teachings contained in books
used in pubic schools.
Another related to the method of
representation to the House of Depu-
ties, declaring that the present meth
cd does not give full strength of the
church representation, owing to the
system of allowing dioceses, irrespec-
tive of size, to send the same num-
Der of delegates each.
Representation according to numer-
ical strength was suggested.

'C()XEY
Now Wishes To Give Bank
ing Committee Tips

Washington, October 10-"General"
Jacob s. Coxey, Of Massillon, who,
in the spring of 1898, led his famous
army of unemployed to Washington,
appeared here today and requested of
Senator Pomerene that he be allowed
to gve testimony before the Banking
and Currency Committee, which is
now conducting hearings on the cur
rency bill.
Pomerene is a member of the com
mittee and told Coxey that witnesses
already scheduled will take all the
time of the committee up to october
1S, but after that there will be a
chance for him to be heard. CoxeS
once advocated the issue of currency
by the Government without cost to
municipalities or states, to be expend
ed on public improvements.
His plan was to have the United
States secured by bonds to be re
deemed in 25 years, the bonds to draw
no interest whatever His present
plan has that as its basis, but with
some notifications.
