DAN CUPID JOINS
UNION IN MAURl
LITTLE GOD OF LOVE WORKING
SHORTER HOURS, ACCORDING
TO RECORDS HERE.

Dan Cupid. who at one time was one
of the busiest little gentlemen in Maui
ry county, evidently has Joined the
union, but be that as it may, Dan is
not working as long hours as he once
did.
During the present month there has
been big decrease in the number of
marriage licenses issued by the coun-
ty court clerk. Through the first fif-
teen days of March only ten licenses
had been issued, which is far below
the average for the same length OF
time in any one month.
Contrary to general opinion, that
there are more weddings in June than
any month OF the year, December has
long been the fayorite month for
brides, and the records will show that
there are nearly twice as many coup
les united in the holy bonds of matri'
mony during the cold bleak days oi
December as in June when heaven
tries earth If it be in tune, ETC.

DRASTIC METHODS
WILL Be USED IN
COLLECTION TAX
DISTRESS WARRANTS WILL BE 49,
SUED AGAINST THOSE WHO
FAIL TO PAY ON VEHICLES.
COSTS SUCH ACTION Be HEAVY
Tags Have Been Sold For Less Than
200 of the 1000 Vehicles in Opera
tion in the County, Records of the
Clerk Show.

After sufficient time has been given
vehicle owners of the county to fully
acquaint themselves with the status
of the road law, drastic methods will
be taken for the collection of the
wheel tax this year, according to coun
ty officials.
1t is the present plan to issue dis
tress warrants against all vehicle own.
ers who do not pay the wheel tax
within the next thirty or sixty days
Officials are becoming eXasperated
at the delay of vehicle owners in pay
ing this privilege tax, and have de-
termined to go just as far as possible
under the law in the collection. They
will not depend upon grand jury in.
dictment, but through the agency OF
the distress warrants any property be
longing to the vehicle owner may be
seized to pay the tax due.
Attention has been called time and
time again that the new road law as
passed by the present legislature for
Maury county does not become effec
tive, as far as these taxes are concern
ed, until the first of next year. 1t will
be necessary for every vehicle owner
to pay the privilege tax for the opera
tion of his automobile, buggy or
wagon just as he did last year. There
has been no change in the amount ol
taxes.
County Court Clerk Lipscomb stat
ed to a representative of The Herald
that he has an accurate list Of great
er part of the vehicle owners of the
county, and that he proposes to col
| lect this tax as required by law
Although there are more than 1,00l
wheeled vehicles in the county tht
tax for county purposes has been paft
on less than 200.

PRESENT WEATHER MOST
 REMARKABLE ON RECORD

Not even the oldest of the old timers recalls such remarkable Nov ember weather as prevails in this locality at present.
 Cloudy and rainy weather has now prevailed for approximately three weeks, instead of the usual calm, cold weather of this period of the fall season. Save for brief lapses, the wind has hung in the east and south east almost continuously for the past week, condition previously un- heard of at this time of the year. As a result the old timers are scratching their heads and there is g. tendency to revive that ancient theory of the Japanese current changing it's course in this direction once in while. Whatever the req son, the change is most agreeable one to majority. with coal around, $40 ton. The general observation is that the weather. is more like Spring than Fall
