HAS MARRIED
THOUSANDS
OF COUPLES
Bristo!'s Marrying Parson Ex-
poets to "Tie Up Five
Thousand Couples.

BRISTOL. Tenn, Dec. 1S.-The Rev.
Alfred Harrison Burroughs, Bristops
marrying parson, expects soon to
marry his 5.00Oth couple. He has
married 1891 couples since he insti-
tuted his matrimonial mecca in Bris-
tol nearly quarter Of a century ago.
For several years he has looked
forward to marrying his 5,0O0th
couple. Soon 10000 people will have
stood before his altar and been pro-
nounced husband and wife when he
rounds out record OF 5000 couples.
He Keeps a record like the register of
motel, as every couple is numbered.
His records have been kept in this
manner since the first couple.
His services are now in greater de-
mand than ever. and his only fear is
that either Virginia or Tennessee may
change the marriage laws SO as to de-
stroy his business. Should Tennessee
raise the age limit 1t would be disas-
trous to the parsons lucrative bnsi-
ness whereas should Virginia modify
its law under which a person under
twenty-one years old cannot be mar
ried except with the consent or par-
ent or guardian it would be likewise
ruinous to the marrying business
Practically all of the 1891 counles
that the parson has married have been
clippers from Virginia, attracted to
Bristol on account of the states lib-
eral marriage laws, permitting the
marriage of girls sixteen or over.
regardless Of parental consent
During the last few years with the
rapid increase in his business, Par
son Burrough now has competition.
Other marrying parsons" watch for
clippers. The original parson is con-
fident that the new rivals have cost
him many couples. The situation re-
Gently became so serious that the
marrying parsons and their solicitors
were barred from meeting trains at
the Union station.

Reduces chlIdrens Penalty.

An order was issued by the corpor-
alton commission prohibiting railroads
operating in the state from charging
a penalty of more than one-half cent
per mile for children who board pas
senger trains without purchasing tick
cts at stations.
Some time ago the commission is
sued an order revoking the so-called
SHOW ticket" rule of the carriers,
which required passengers 10 show
their tickets before boarding train
and at the same time gave the roads
permission to charge a penalty of l
cent mile from the point of boarding
the train to destination in all cases
where the passenger failed to supply
himself with a ticket.
Under this ruling the carriers have
been charging a penalty Of l cent on
children who ride at half fare. The
order of the commission directs that
the former ruling Of the commission
shall be construed to mean that the
penalty for children riding on half
fare shall be only one-half cent per
mile.

Much Wealth In Oklahoma.

Hubert L. Bolen, collector of inter
nal revenue, statId that of the twenty
states west of the Mississippi river
only four paid the federal government
more individual income tax than Okla
homa, which states are as follows:
Iowa, Missouri, Texas and California
OF the southern states Oklahoma
paid more taxes than either of the fol
lowing:
North Carolina, South Carolina
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida
and Arkansas.
Oklahoma paid more individual in
come tax than Kansas and Arkansas
together.
Mr.. Bolen also stated that from pres
ent indications caused by good crops
and the advance price in oil, he ex-
poets the income tax TO increase more
than so per cent this year in Okla
homa.
The individual income tax collected
in Oklahoma last year amounted to
$133,6S5.

Oklahoma Is Discovered.

Oklahoma is just being discovered
by lot of people. One of the greatest
advertising agencies in America has
within a fortnight come alive, as 1t
were, to the Importance Of Oklahoma
as a merchandising field for national
advertisers. The governments crop
reports. and other incutsrial statistics,
awakened this firm. 1t sent its bright
young men out, and they discovered
the state. The result is this firm
is, to use the vernacular, playing Okla
homa both ways to win.
Here are some figures The daily
oil production of Oklahoma at the
present time is approximately 100000
barrels. The prevailing price at the
moment Though it may be higher to-
morrow, and is certain 20 be higher
before another twelve months; pos
sibly double the price of today, is
rs cents barrel, or total daily in
come from oil of $2l7,500, which
foots about $79,OOO.OOO for the year.
The ten-year average for agricul-
tural products in Oklahoma is about
$12O, 100000 per annum. This year ag-
ricultural products will far exceed
this. The federal government crediSS
the state with a large increase in yield
of all of the products of the farm,
and the prevailing market quotations
are much above the ten-year average.
A conservative estimate, therefore, of
the total valuation of farm products
for the year 1915 would be about
$15O,O00,OO0.
The market value of the coal out
put for the year will total in round
numbers $l0,O00,000
