NEARLY 1000 MARRIAGES

During the year 1920, 1853 marriage
licenses were granted at the Polk
county court house. Each month
brought between sixty and seventy
such certificates, usually with slight
predominance of white people as the
contracting parties, though a few of
the months show a slight balance On
the colored side. Applicants vary i'll
ages from Is to 80, and come from all
uarts of the countrym from Washing
ton to Maine and from California to
Key West. A surprisingly moderate
number are residents of the county
and remarkably few are living in Bar
tow. Many of the marriage ceremonies
are performed in the county judges
Office, where the licenses are issued /.
the number increased in December
