VETERAN OFFICERS RETIRED

Notification has been received from
headquarters that three veteran Oeala
officers of the state troops, at their
own request, and because of pressure
Of private business, have been put on
the retired list. They are Ldeut--CoL
Geo. A Nash, Capt John NJ. Graham
and Capt Joseph Bell.
On account of service in the Spanish
American war, Captain Graham will be
retired with the rank of major. The
following official record is made in re-
gard to Lieut.-Col Nash:
Lieut. Col Nash is one of the few
remaining officers Of long and active
service in the troops. and viii be loss
to the service"
In his letter TO Colonel Nash, Adju-
tant General Foster says:
This is an expression which will be
heartily concurred in at headquarters,
and IL is to be regretted exceedingly
that you find your business affairs
such as TO necessitate your severing
active connection with the military es-
Enlistment"
All three of the gentlemen are prac-
ticed and proficient citizen soldiers
Their connection with the state troops
has always been a labor of love with
them, and tho they have retired, there
need be no doubt that they would be
to the front at once if the country
should need them.

WON'T BE EASY TO WED

Marriage will be a civil service ex-
animation as well as a lottery If House
bill No. 4OI. prepared by w. S. Middle
ton, OF Putnam county, becomes law
1t aims to repeal twelve existing sec
tions of the present laws of Florida.
Twenty-one years for men and eight
cen for women are the ages stipulated
for the contracting parties and none
others may engage in the pleasant
pastime of marrying unless they have
reached this discreet age.
First cousins are barred. uncIes and
nieces and aunts and nephews are for
hidden as well as-those afflicted with
pulmonary tuberculosis in advanced
stage from entering into a marriage
contract.
Drug users common drunkards, ha-
bitual criminals, and others Of like
classification are denied the right to
enter into contract. And if the SOL
emnization Of the marriage contract
take place under any of the above
stipulations, then it will be constitut-
ed a misdemeanor
Section 10 provides as follows A
subsequent marriage contracted by any
person during the life of a former hus-
band or wife of such person, with any
person other than the former husband
and wife is illegal and void from the
beginning, unless the former marriage
of either party has been annuled or
dissolved more than six months, or
such former husband was absent and
not known to such person to be living
for the space of five consecutive years
Immediately preceding, or was gen
orally reputed and was believed by
such person to be dead at the time such
subsequent marriage was contracted
in either of which cases the subsequent
marriage is valid until it's nullity is
adjudged by a competent tribunal
No drunk man can apply for a Ii
cense to marry and the application for
license must be accompanied by Ger
tifcate from a reputable physician at
testing to the various qualifications of
the parties applying. The doctor is al
lowed five dollars for rendering this
valuable service. After getting the
license it is necessary that it be pub
lished in at least one issue of some
daily or weekly newspaper. The orig
inaI license together with the physi-
clans certificate must be filed with the
county judge not more than thirty
days after it's issuance.

FROM MIR. FORT
Comments on County Division by an
Ex-COmmissiOner

Editor Star: I notice that the same
old agitation of county division is up
again. Your comments relative TO the
matter of division are entirely correct.
However, 1 must say that the
several sections of the county are
jealous of one another when it comes
to the apportionment and expenditure
Of the road fund in building and re-
pairing roads 1t is obvious to all that
the basis for expending these moneys
should be the mileage of roads in the
district, the cost of maintenance, etc.
believe if this rule was strictly car
ried out the talk and agitation of
county division every two years would
vanish.
So long as the present system Of
nominating county commissioners is
practiced, we may expect to hear of
complaints as we do now So long as
district, SO long will it be possible and
probable that he will perpetuate his
term of office 1t is tommyrot for any
man to say that commissioner is
representative of the district and
should be nominated by the district
The law recognizes him as a county
and not a district commissioner, and
he should be nominated by the county
If our legislature would annul the
present law. making the nominations
from the county. then in my opinion
these sectional complaints would be
less. \. A. Fort
