a slight increase in. the number over
last years, and considerable increase
in the weight. This goes to show that
larger packages are being mailed, and
that many are taking advantage of
the parcel post
Complaints have been received at
the post office that mail boxes are be-
ing tempered with. Parents should
warn their children that there is
fine of not to exceed $1,000 or impris-
onment for three years fol" any one
violating the strict postal law in re-
gard to mail boxes. Boxes used for the
purpose of depositing mail, whether
they are cigar boxes, or the regular
mail boxes, and maliciously meddled
with, are subject to this fine.

What would Hughes have done ii
he had been president the past four
years, with the Mexicans, the sink
ing of the Lusitania, with the foreign
policy, and many other knotty ques-
tons? They have often been asked, but
it is so quiet one can hear a gum
drop. In answer, the Record-Herald
says: "Wall street is betting two to
one on Hughes!' Those questions are
awfully annoying, and really nerve
racking, but the voters want to know.
1t is better to vote an aspirant to the
presidency into oblivion, if he is
one who is all the time smelling blood
and spelling for war.

Two weeks from today election
takes place. 1t has been one of the
quietest presidential elections ever
known here, showing that the people
in general are satisfied with the way
the country has been governed the
past four years, with the possible ex-
ception of the "Wretched Herald"
which is not satisfied with what has
been done by the democrats.

Rev. R. M. w. Black, rector Of St.

consideration a call to be rector Of
st. Anne's church, in Nashville. This
is one of the largest of the Episcopal
churches of Tennessee, having mem
bership of 500 and the field is most
inviting one, but DR.. Black has reached
no conclusion as to what he will do
in the matter, giving the proposition
the most prayerful consideration.
During the two years that he has
been here, DR.. Black has greatly en-
deared himself to all of the men,
bers of his parish. He is one Of the
ablest preachers who has ever filled
the pulpit of st. Peters and his low
able disposition, his spiritual and con-
secrated life and walk have greatly
attached the members to him. His
wife is likewise a great favorite with
the members.

TRANSFERS SHOW
GAIN IN QUARTER
ALTHOUGH THE TOTAL FOR PAST
MONTH WAS NOT EQUAL TO
LAST MARCH.

In spite of the fact that there was a
decrease of $4,000 in the real estate
transfers of Maury county for the past
month, there has been an increase for
the first three months of the year of
about $1S5O00 During March the
transfers of realty aggregated $163, 920,
as compared with a total of $17S,55O
for the same month of last year.
The transfers for January Of this
year were $25OOO0; for February they
were $155,000, making the total for the
first quarter of the year $5S3,OOO and at
this rate the total for the year would
be around the two million mark and
would distance all former records in
the county. Both January and Febru-
airy showed large gains, but the past
month, while good for March, did not
come up to the same month of 1915.

LEAP YEAR BIG AID
TO DANIEL CUPID IN
PAST THREE MONTHS
MARRIAGES IN MAURY COUNTY
SHOW DECIDED GAIN FOR
THE QUARTER.
FORTY Per CENT FOR MARCH
Nigh Cost Of Living Scare OF Little
Await In the Contest With tina God
of interchangeable Couples Find
Bliss.

One would think that Mr. H. Cost-of-
living would adversely affect the
smanuevers of Mr.. D. Cupid, but 1t is
just the contrary, the little love god
is doing better business in Maury
county by far than he did last year.
Wars may go on, drugs and paper
and hogs and cattle and calico may
an increase from ten to two thou
sand per cent, but folks are going to
marry. Last year was not very good
one for marrying in the county, but
the present year, it looks, will make
all proper amends. Daniel is once
more himself.
During the past month of March
;ther were twenty-eight couples made
as one, with "but a single thought"
whereas for March of 1915, there were
conly twenty love lorn couples who
sought bliss at the marriage altar
This is gain of twenty or just exact
1y forty per cent. March is not held
In the highest favor as marrying
month" ordinarily, hence the record
for twenty-eight is unusual
There were five additional marriages
In February, that is there were that
number more than in the same month
of 1915 and January had an increase
of three, so that the gain in March is
exactly equal to that of the two pre-
vious months, bringing the total in
crease for the year up to sixteen. At
this rate there should be sixty-four
more marriages in the county this
year than were performed last year.
The fact that this is leap year
should not be overlooked. The fig
.ures are pretty conclusive proof that
the fair maidens of Old Maury are
awaiting themselves of the privileges
that are womens' only one year in
every four.
