NOW COST MORE TO MARRY
Judge Cheatham Takes Advantage of
Cupid and Boosts Price of Mar

The cost of marriage, like other
necessities or luxuries of life-just
as you view it-has increased.
Saturday Ordinary w. B. Cheat
ham raised the price of marriage Ii
cneses from $3.50 to $500, the price
that is authorized by law and when
has prevailed in many of the counties
of the state.
Judge Cheatham does not expect
Cupid to be any the less Industrious
on account of the increased cost of
getting married, and will keep en-
hand just as big supply of licenses
as ever. In fact, he says there has
not been the least objection on the
part of those who have needed a Ii
cense since Saturday, and that all
have seemed not onl" willing but ca
ge~ to pay the $500.

ing from the grand jury the election
of county commissioners and placing
it in the hands of the people.
Mr.. Pickett has not decided upon
the details of his bill, and is not pre-
pared to say whether he will increase
or reduce the size of the board,
which is now composed of five men,
bers. He may provide for the cleo
tion of a member from each district,
which would increase the number to
nine, or he may reduce the board to
three. Another plan he is investigat-
ing is that of only one commissioner,
who would devote all of his time
to the business affairs of the county:
The one commissioner plan has been
adopted by a number of counties.
But, as stated above, Mr.. Pickett
has not yet determined just what his
bill will provide except to elect the
commissioners by the people. He

with the citizens of the county, and
be guided in a large measure by their
wishes as to any other changes that
may be made.
