MARRIAGE BUREAU KEPT
BUSY DURING PAST WEEK
Thirty-five Licenses Granted
"April FOOp Disregarded

The Easter season was the occasion
for a last minute rush for marriage
licenses during the month of March,
and the clerk of the Circuit court was
busy during the past week ending
Monday at noon issuing permits to 35
couples. Because of the large in
crease in number of couples applying,
the records for the same month in
1927 and 1928 were both surpassed.
The all-time record for March, how
ever, withstood the attempt to break
it. This record of IS was made in
1918. The record for the past March
was 80.
Fifteen of those issued during the
past week were granted on Saturday,
while the 26th was also busy day
when seven were granted. At noon
on Monday, April 1, five licenses had
been issued for that day, showing an
utter disregard for "All Fools Day"
A total of 205 licenses have been
granted during the first three months
of 1929, which is 10 more than for
the same time in 1928, and II more
than in 1927. Five licenses issued
during the past week were marked
"don't publish" while one applicant
was refused a permit.
