MARRIAGE LICI NSES
FIKSIlWU MONTHS
VI YEAH FILL OFF
BUT LITTLE DECREASE, HowEv.
Err, FROM SAME MONTHS
OF 1914.
NICHOLS SLUMPED The MOST
Records Show That February Is the
Poorest Marrying Month Of the
Year, Especially Among the Color
ed PouIation Of the County.

Folks don't seem to be bit more
anxious to marry this year than they
did year aso.
A comparison of the marriage reg
lister at the court house Of January
and February, 1915. with the register
of those months of a year ago shows
that practically the same number of
whites and negroes got license for
entrance into the holy bonds of we'd
lock.
In January, 1914, licenses were is
sued to fourteen couples for marriage.
Just one year later there was exactly
the same number registered for the
month. With one more day to run
there have been fifteen licenses is
sued this month. In February, 1914,
sixteen licenses were issued, just one
more than for the. corresponding
month this year. Summing them up,
1t reveals the fact that one more IL
cense was issued in the months of
January and February, 1914, than
there was in the corresponding
months OF this year.
The negroes have fallen off slight
ly from last year. too In January,
1914, seventeen licenses were issued
to them, in February, six. This Jan.
uary there were only twelve licenses
granted by county court clerk Arch
Lipscomb. while this month. only sew.
en- have been issued. The count
Stands 90 to- To- In, favor of 1914.
February, from the above records
| seem to be the poorest marrying
month of the year. December is the
best, as both white and black like
this month above all others for get
ting tied up. In fact, there were
more marriages on Christmas eve
day than there were in the month Of
February combined.

Account of Drink.

LONDON, Wales, March THE
government has wide powers to deal
with the drink question and it means
to use them," declared David Lloyd
George, chancellor of the exchequer,
in a speech here today. The chancel-
lor said that a small minority of the
workmen employed in the armament
factories had refused to work full
week because of thelureofdrink.
The government would use its pow
ers discreetly and in spirit of mod
GRAFTON, Lloyd-George asserted, but
fearlessly" He was sure that the
public would support whatever action
was taken and allow no indulgence
to interfere with the country's pros
poets in the war.
"The war;" he said, lis to be won
or lost by the engineers. We need
men, but we need arms more than we
need men and every day of delay Ia
full of peril to the country. For one
reason or another we do not get the
assistance we have a right to expect
from our workshops. Industrial diff
ferences are inevitable, but we can
not afford them now.
1T is intolerable that the lives of
Britons should be imperiled for the
sake of farthing an hour. During
war governments should have the
right of settling difficulties SO that
work shall go on. If men are entitled
to more money the government
should give it. do not believe the
parties involved will refuse to COM
ply with the urgent command of the
government that there should be no
delay"
Expressing confidence in the out
come of the war, the chancellor said
the people of the country hardly re-
allied yet the importance of the
struggle in which they are engaged
and warned them that victory could
not be won without long struggle.
He declared that while England had
enrolled the largest volunteer army
ever gathered in any country or in
any century it ought to be larger
still.

"Yes, / purchased in New York the

the AZ centimeter gun behind the big
firm of Maury Dry Goods Company
this morning. He is just back from
the metropolis, where he has been
for the past three weeks and more
buying for, his store.
The styles are prettier than they
have ever been. There is not that
extremeness about them there has
been heretofore. Women, especially
are going to be more conservative in
their costumes. Their skirts are
shorter, and their hats much smaller
than they have been in many seasons.
Their dresses will be somewhat on
the order and the styles of hundred
years ago. Not so extreme by any
means, but still somewhat alike in
looks and general resemblance The
colors and harmonies will be prettier
than they have ever been. They won
be so flashy or loud, but rather more
subdied.
There were not so many buyers
in New York as there usually are.
Some Of the Southern men from. the
cotton states failed to come north for
goods on account of the financial de.
preston in their section However
this part Of the state sent up about
the usual quota and we bought about
the usual qusntity Of goods. We gol
some magnificent stuff, of very best
quality, and in the greatest aboun

There still seems to be an air Of
uncertainty about affairs in New
