MARRIAGES FOR
YEAR FALL SHORT
LICENSE ISSUED FOR THE CLOS
ING YEAR NOT so MANY AS
FOR 1912.

An examination of the marriage IL
cense book at the Office of the coun-
ty court clerk discloses the fact that
there were between forty and fifty
less marriage licenses issued for the
year 1918 than there were for 1912.
There was a greater difference in the
colored falling off than there was In
the whites. The falling off in the is
suance Of licenses for colored people
was 33, while that for the whites
was IA.
The reason for this is not forthcom-
ing, as there is usually an increase
in marriages in comparison with the
increase Of population and other ad-
vances.

DISAPPEARED FROM
HIS BUGGY IN CITY
HERE TUESDAY NIGHT
uLNA WHITAKER DROVE IN TO
MAKE SOME PURCHASES AND
NEVER RETURNED.
foul PLAY is SUSPECTED
Officers, Relatives and Friends Spend
the Day In An Unsuccessful Search
for the Young Man-Boy of Good
Habits.

Ulna Whitaker, the eighteen year
old son Of Sam Whitaker whose home
is at Caney Springs, and who has
been employed by his uncle, Patton
Whitaker at his ice cream factory
near the city on the Sowell Mill pike
for some time, disappeared under pc
caliar circumstances Tuesday night,
and diligent search and inquiry has
not only failed to discover his where
abouts but no trace of him has been
discovered.
He was young man of exception
ally exemplary habits, and this to-
gether with the fact that he had been
charged with making some purchases
and looking after some minor mat
ters, which he had faithfully attend
ed to makes his disappearance all the
more mysterious.
He was sent into the city, leaving
the Whitaker farm abut o'clock, and
delivered small amount of ice
cream at the Methodist church. He
then went to the Parks meat market
where he bought ham, leaving there
with the understanding that he would
return later and get it. This he did
about 7:3O o'clock and this is the last
time that he, was seen. There was
another boy in the buggy with him at
the time he drove away from the
meat Sop but his name is not known.
Later, about o'clock the horse was
seen at the pos'pfice, and only few
minutes later he was caught on
Eighth street by Oscar Dial as he was
on his way home. In the buggy were
all Of the purchases he had been ex-
lpected to make.
It was not known at the Whitaker
home until this morning that the
young man had not returned to his
room.
| The officers, brother Of the miss
| ing young man, his uncle, Patton
Whitaker, and other friends have
been diligent all day in an effort to
locate him, but all to no avail.
His father, Sam Whitaker, was tel
ephoned shortly after noon today and
will be in Columbia tonight.

Although No Records Are Expected

Monday and Misrepresentation
win Make It Field Day.

Mule Day, the great event of the
year with the farmers of Maury coun-
ty, from present indications, will be
a profitable occasion on next Monday.
There is every promise of the usual
immense number of mules here for
the day and the prices are looking
good. While it is not expected that
the prices will be as high as have
been known at times in the past,
there are now no signs Of a very de-
cided slump and good mules are ex-
pected to bring what they are reason
ably worth.
The folks will be here as we'll as
the mules on next Monay. They are
coming from all parts of the county
and they will come from all the ad-
Joining counties. There will be
mules here from the Tennessee river,
may be some from other side of that
stream. And the buyers will OF
course be here. They will come from
almost every mule market Of the
South.
Not only will there be an immense
number Of mules here to sell on the
streets, but r. F. Moore & Son, the
big mule dealers, will have an auc-
tion of both two and three year olds.
They will also sell some fine Missou-
ri FLIES. Their sales are always we'll
attended by the buyers who are look
| ing for their moneys worth.
Mule business will not by any
means end on Monday, but will con-
tinue until the following day. For on
Tuesday R. L. Hayes & Co., one Of
the best known and most reliable
mule concerns in the country, will
have, an auction sale Of the long
cared animals.
Being the first Monday Of January
before the regular county election the
candidates are expected to be unusu-
ally busy. There will be a regular
field day for the county and district
politicians and caucuses and an
nouncements will be almost as numer-
GUS as mules.
