COUNTY FINISHES l7TH
 MARRIAGE RECORD BOOK
Couple Wednesday Recorded Last ;n Book "Q"-First of Series
 Started in 1875.

Issuance of marriage license yes terday to Albert Burchman, P, and Rosie Carter, 20, Conway, completed Marriage Record Book @" at the office of the county clerk. This book is the seventeenth of the series and was replaced today by Book R, ; which has space for 664 marriage licenses. Book @" was started on May l, 1918, and had places for the recording of 638 licenses. That many were issued by the county clerk, but 19 of the couples hopeful of matri- mony found obstacles in their way and their certificates were returned unsigned by officers authorized to Wit ness the marriage contract.
 F. C. Moore, father of the late Avery E. Moore of Enders, state au- ditor, was county clerk at the time the first recorded marriage license was issued in Faulkner county. l. was issued to Robert II. Naylor and Sarah Jane Carter of Conway, both of whom were 23 years of age. Both MT and Mrs. Naylor are dead. Their daughter, Mrs. J D. Collier, is a resi- dent of Conway. This license and all others in that volume, were recorded in handwriting. the book not being made up as the present records are. Its pages are devoid of printed matter. the clerk filing in the form on a blank page. The entire set of T. volumes of marriage record now occupies row of shelving in the vault of the clerks office.
 Deputy Clerk F. NJ Morgan wrote a farewell to Book @" and summar- ized it's records as the last marriage license was entered in 1t yesterday His farewell to the book is as follows: Marriage License Record @ ceased to do business at 8 o'clock, P. NJ, this beautiful 2Sth day of April, 1920 after having made happy 619 cou- ples, but sadness caught 19 couples. who failed to have their marriage cer- emonies solemnized. There were is- sued 638 marriage licenses from the said record, 619 were solemnized and 10 hope to be solemnized. The first was one dated May 1, 1918, the aver age being one every day. The ages of the contracting parties were from sweet IT to sweeter -"

ANOTHER GOOD MAN
 PLANS TO COME BACK
Editor Log Cabin Democrat;

Editor Log Cabin Democrat;
 Will you please allow me space in your valuable paper to give my friends in good old Faulkner county a few lines in regard to the country where we live We are in northeast Arkansas (Lawrence county. We have the best stock range ever saw; have some good land and some that is very sorry. There is lots of fine timber here and it is being cut out fast, which furnishes employment for lots of men and teams. The worst feature about this country is the roads, and they are awfully bad after the fall rains set in until late in the spring. They have some road i'm provement districts, but it seems they are slow to begin making roads. mo- tice in the paper they are making preparations to build some good roads in Faulkner county. I hope they get them built soon, for we are coming back home in the not far-distant future
 We certainly enjoy reading the Cabin" for it is like letter from home. Wishing the Log Cabin Dem ocrat and it's many readers success I remain, your friend.

DOCTORS, BARBERS
 BOTH BOOST FEES

It will cost more to be sick, or rather to get cured after you are sick, on and after May l, and at the same time the cost of removing surplus whiskers and hair will also take a jump.
 Sixteen Conway physicians have signed an announcement that their fees will be raised, effective May l. The principal increase is in the fees for visits, day visits in the city limits being raised from s2 to s3, additional visits the same day from s1 to s2; night visits from s3 to s4 and addi- tional visits the same night from s2 to s3. No change is made in the rate for mileage for visits beyond the city limits, the charge being the city fees plus s1 per mile. Call visits are the same as the city fee.
 This is the first change made in physicians fees made in Conway since July l, 1917, since which time the cost of living has approximately doubled.
 The two union barbershops in the city announced today that the price of slaves will be advanced from 20 to 25 cents and of haircuts from 10 to 50 cents on May l. This, they state, is an advance of only 50 per cent since 1913, when a shave and haircut cost 50 cents.

FINANCIAL AND MARKETS

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-Another de- ficit in clearing house reserves. stiffer money rates and continued abstention of public support constituted the chief deterrent factors of today's reaction ary stock market.
 Failure of the United States supreme court to act on the stock dividend case and widely circulated but unconfirmed reports that several important Mexi- can oil properties had sustained severe damage from earthquake disturbances, provided the shorts with material to depress prices
 There were several neutralizing fea- lures, notably the very favorable ton mage statement of the United States Steel Corporation for December and encouraging business advices from western and southwestern points.
 Oils and motors were heavy almost from the outset, but it was not until the final hour when call loans rose by successive stages from 10 to IS per cent that the selling and consequent declines became quite general.
 As usual, there was a few stocks which stood out for their comparative strength, especially Royal Dutch and some of the less important oils and equipments. Rails also resisted press ure, but trading in that division was
