 CHRISTMAS PARTNERS
Sevcnty-ffve Prospective GroOms Gs
 Licenses Monday To Marry

Seventy-ffve Prospective GrOOmB Oet
 Licenses Monday To Marry
 Monday was a busy day for the marriage license clerks in tho pro bate office. Early in the morning a line formed which continued all day, and by 4 o'clock, or closing time, 75 licenses had been issued to rros- pective bridegrooms.
 Christmas marriages were most popular among the negroes, as only enc third of the total number of licenses issued were for the may riage of white people. Although Mondays total was considerably larger than usual. even for Christ mas Eve, it was smaller than that of two years ago. when more than 100 were issued.
 "Christmas is a popular time for getting married" Judge J. P. Stiles said in discussing Mondays figures. "People usually have short vaca- ,tion then and have time for we'd ding trip. They can bet married Christmas Day, take their trip and settle down by the first of the year. Then, too, money for such trips is often supplied by Christmas bonuses"

County Nurses Column

The past week was spent by the
county nurse inspecting pupils of the
following schools; Conover, Reed, Pho
neer. Croker, and Evergreen. Condi-
lions and number of defects are about
the same in every school with the ex-
ception of one, where defective vision
was unusually bad. Several of these
children need immediate attention Of
the vision. Two cases were found, one
boy Of seven years of age. The Wis
ion Of the right eye practically gone,
another boy, twelve years old. There
are times when he can not see with
his one eye neither of these boys have
had no attention or treatment of the
vision. There were several other cases
in that same school, where children
were only able to read the chart,
which is supposed to be read two hun
dred feet away, at a distance of TWEEN
ty feet, and in two cases Of eight and
ten feet. Are we going to save the
eyes of the youth? True it is that it
takes money to better these conditions
but isn't it far better to spend twenty
five hard earned dollars now and save
the sight, than several hundred later
on and not have the proper results :?
Your children will then be more able
to repay you when they grow to man
and womanhood, if you act in time
and save their sight.
Although have found many defects
and many corrections to be made, and
at times the work is rather discourag-
ing, also feel encouraged, when my
follow up" work show that 81 pupils
have had dental attention, had his
tonsils removed, and II had or are
having their eyes treated, many more
have promised to have corrections
made as soon as school closes. / feel
that have the parents behind me,
and wish to thank everyone for
their hearty cooperation.

to penetrate this region was

in 1884 by Champlain to open
trade with the Indians. He
landed at Green Bay and prob
ably traversed the country to
Chicago. Fur traders and mis-
sionaries followed and the latter
built mission where Ashland
now stands. This was the first

around it sprang up the first
