MARRIAGE RECORD
IS NOT COMPLETE
MANY OFFICIATING OFFICIALS
AND MINISTER'S FAIL TO MAKE
RETURNS.

Failure of ministers and others who
marry people in this county to en-
dorse and properly return the mar
riage licenses to the clerk of the
county court as required by law
makes very incomplete the marriage
records. A glance through the mar
riage record book discloses q large
per cent probably not less than five
per cent of marriages where there is
no record that the parties have ever
been married. Only by the return Of
the license properly endorsed can the
clerk know that the marriage has
ever taken place. 1t may be of great
importance at some time in the future
to have record of a marriage. This
cannot be made from the books of the
county court where the license has
never been returned. 1t would be a
splendid idea if every couple that mar
ries would personally see to 1t that
the officiating minister or Official
makes a proper return Of the marri-
age license to the county court clerk
thereby assuring the completion OF
the records.

FOR VIOLATION OF
SPECIAL ACT 1905

LY COVER METAL.
is ALLEGED BY THE GRAND JURY
Under Local Law Of 1905 IL Is Provld.
ed That the Metal on Pixies Shall
BE Covered by Dirt, Sand, Gravel
or Ground Rock.

The Columbia, Goodwin and Santa
Fe Turnpike Company and Horace
Rainey as president or manager. were
indicted by the grand jury at its re-
cent session for violation Of the 10
cal act of 1905 which provides for fin
ishing turnpikes in this county.
The act under which the indictment
was returned applies only to Maury
county and is said to have been pass
ed on the suggestion of John Trot-
wood Moore. 1t provides that after
turnpike road has been metallec as
required under the code of the state
that there shall be spread upon the
surface coat of dirt, sand, gravel or
ground rock. In the indictment it is
alleged that after the road had been
metalled as required by the code that
this provision of the act of 1905 was
not complied with. The act of 1905
Is known as chapter 534 OF the acts
of that session.
The special act provides that for
each days failure to finish the pike
as described the turnpike company
and manager shall be liable for a fine
Of $40. The indictment charges that
failure to comply with the statute,
covered a period of several days.
