CUPID BESTS WAR GOD
HARD TIMES HAVE NOT AFFECT
ED MARRIAGES IN TERRELL.
In Spite of the Low Price of Cotton
the Matrimonial Bureau is Doing
Usual Volume of Business.

the Matrimonial bureau is DOING
Usual Volume of Business.
Love in a cottage" during the
days of hard times has been just as
acceptable to men and women in Ter
rell county this year as life in pal
ace in more prosperous days, accord
ing to the marriage records of 1914.
While business men in every line
have been bemoaning hard times be-
cause of the low price of cotton and
the great European conflict the mar
riage license bureau has been doing
almost as much business as year
ago, when prosperity blanketed the
country. Dan Cupid has held his
own against the 'wolf at the door
and the armed forces of Europe.
There has been a slight decrease
in the number of marriage licenses
issued in 1914 as compared with
1913, but the decrease has been so
small that it cannot be traced to the
business depression. If some of Ter
rell's charming girls will give them
selves to young men as Christmas
presents during the remaining days
of December the record for the year
may show just as many marriages
as there were in 1918.
The records in the office of Judge
HoyI, the ordinary, show there have
been 46 licenses issued to white
couples in 1914 up to date. Last
year at the same time So had been
issued. That is not such notable
decrease. Yet it is often heard said
that hard times are hurting business.
From August /, 1918, to January
I, 1914, 81 licenses were issued.
From August 1, 1914, to date, en-
bracing the period of war, % licenses
have been issued, and there still re-
mains nearly month before the end
of the year. At the rate they have
been issued these months there
should be but a slight decrease in
the total.
1t all goes to show that love will
find a way"

OF MAYOR MNULTY'S COURT.
In Which a Number of stiff Fines
Were Imposed. One Defendant

Were Imposed. One Defendant
Had Seven Pints of Booze.
Decidedly the most interesting ses-
sion of the mayors matinee that has
occurred in some time was on We'd
nesday morning, when liquor and
loiterers played star parts.
Henry Holland was arraigned on
an accusation of having violated a
city ordinance against having whisky
for illegal purposes. There was no
evidence that he had made a sale,
but the finding of seven pints in his
pockets was circumstanital evidence
that he had the booze for Illegal pur-
poses, and was what is known by the
police as a walking tiger" On this
charge he was fined $50 by Mayor
McNulty, and on a charge of idling
and lettering an additional fine of
SIS was imposed.
Eliza Franklin, a negro woman,
was convicted of having whiskey in
her place of business for illegal pur-
poses, and was fined 800, which was
afterwards reduced to $50.
Tine Burch was fined SIS for
idling and lettering, and also SIG for
contempt, having failed to respond
to summons to appear in police
court as a witness.
For idling and lettering Jim Crit
fin drew fine of s25, and General
Ross was assessed two fines of $500
each, one for disorderly conduct and
the other for idling and lettering.

Kent's Services Next Year.
Unless the money is again raised
by popular subscription, which was
done this year and now seems i'm
probable another year, Terrell coun-
ty will be without the services of a
farm demonstration agent.
The recent grand jury was peti-
toned by farmers and citizens of the
county to recommend to the county
commissioners that the salary of the
demonstration be paid out of public
funds in 1915, but no action was
taken by that body.
Mr.. Kent's term of employment
will expire on January 1st next. He
has been active and intelligent in the
performance of his duties, and his
services have been of much benefit
to the agricultural interests of the

WAR NEWS

An exchange says that the rabbits
are helping the cotton farmer by
wearing cotton tails"
Well. that is about as much help
&C they get from some other sources,
where there is so much hot air. The
way we are trying to help our Gus
toners is by giving our profits and
taking corn from people who can't
get the money.
SPEAKING OF COTTON
Makes one think of the war, be-
cause the war has such a bad effect
On cotton, and the war must stop be-
fore cotton can move to any consider
able extent. Bales of cotton would
make fine breastworks, and after
they quit fighting the cotton could

rope about this.
SENSIBLE PEOPLE
Are still trying to find good rea-
son for the war in Europe, but the
more one thinks of it the more silly
and brutal it seems for intelligent
beings to butcher each other without
even knowing why it is done. But
while they fight let U. S. try the
harder to keep the peace and help
each other all we can by trading with
each other. That's why we buy corn,
peas, etc.
WORK SHOES
Are right high, but they don't cost
as much as a spell of sickness, and
besides that your feet are good
friends of yours and deserve to be
comfortably and securely covered.
Think over this little and somebody
will sell you pair of shoes. Why
not let it be US?
DON'T FORGET YOUR HEAD.
If you have not "lost your head"
in the war excitement you will need
a hat for it, especially when the
weather is bad. We are ready to sell
you a nice style hat for so cents less
than it is worth, which is considera-
bly, more than ten per cent discount.

1T is IMPOSSIBLE
