is made of Elkton and its marrying
notoriety. So feels. and so says, many
another citizen of this town. And the
feeling is perhaps all the deeper and
more bitter because there seems no
relief from the unpleasant and dis
gushing situation.
When this subject was publicly dis
cussed some weeks ago, it was hoped
that some reformation would be
wrought in the matter by the action
Of the preachers themselves, in whose
hands lies largely the solution. That
hope has gone by the board. Hordes
of people still flock to this town and
the marrying mill grinds on with
little apparent regard for the charac-
ter or condition of those it Is putting
into the "holy estate of matrmony.'
Despite the fierce storm of Saturday
last, 23 couples were married in thu
little town, amongst them several d.
VOrcees. The storm was too severe
for the writer to reach his office tha1
day, hence he cannot say whether any

not. He can say though from personal
observation that there hav" beer

not allow US to review some of tic

the unpleasant notoriety this COM
munity is getting from such marriages
is obtained from the following clip

The Hospital has so grown that
there are now ample accommodation
for 40 patients, 10 nurses and the

which has no wants has no future.
