Preacher Makes $4,000 Month Marry

With the revival of business and in

the traffic of the half dozen marrying
parsons and the fees for July are said
to have exceeded any previous month
since Elkton became popular as a get

The Rev. Daniel T. Lockerbie, dean
of the marrying clergy, in point of
years is said to have set a new record
for fees on July 8, when he is reported
to have tied the matrimonial knot for
six couples.
This is the real high water mark for
one day and probably represents almost
half the matrimonial patronage of any
single day in this place, not excepting
Christmas times.
The Rev. Lockerbic. however, appar-
entity over exerted himself on Indepen-
dance day, and since that time has
been seriously i'll, but it is reported re-
covering. During the period Of his
confinement to his bed he, however,
looked after patrons through the Rev.
Martin F. schWeltzer, who served as a
substitute.
The fees obtained by the Rev. MIR.
Lockcrbie from generous bridegrooms
are attracting some interest. 1t is
generally understood that the average
fee for holiday marriages is $40; at
this rate the minister would have taken
in somc $50 on the one day. The in
come from his office for July is said
to have been upward Of $4,000.
