10 attend the Chatham county rally

The bid is on stationery of the
"Wilkins P Horton For Governor
Club" and announces the rally is
'for the purpose of convincing w.
p. Horton and the State of North
Carolina that Chatham wants the
next governor
With that very limited objective,
there's small chance for it to fail;
as Horton and the State are gen
orally thought to pe convinced
already of Chatham's wishes in the
natter.
It may, however, prove somewhat
more difficult to convince the State
that it, the State, wants Horton for
governor. ("

Marriages In
oyerr1ber Off
BY Over Half
reading Of the Well-known story.

Marriages continued to slump in
Vance county last month, when only
thirteen couples obtained licenses.
This compared with % in November
last year.
Nine white and three colOred cOu-
pies obtained marriage papers last
month at the office OF the register
of deeds, whereas in November a
year ago the number was twenty
white and twelve colOred couples
For the eleven months of 1888
total marriage licenses issued in the
county were 1873, including IS white
and SIS colored couples In the like
period a year ago, licenses were is
sued to 234 couples, or almost 100
more than this year, and at that time
there were 1872 white and 1872 cOlored
couples. The record indicates that the
slump has struck the colored pop
ulace more.
There has been a noticeable de-
cline in marriage licenses in this
county since strict regulations in
posed by the 1889 legislature became
effective. More couples than ever be-
fore appear to be going across the
State line into Virginia to have their

To Pay Finland's

Coolidge avenue, N. E., Atlanta.
Ga. Here's what comes over the
signature Of Mr.. Dodge:
will you lend the aid of your
oaper in campaign to raise money
, pay Finland's debt to the United
States government? There must be
more than enough people in the
United States who will gladly give
one COLLAR each for this purpose.
All money to go to the paying
If this debt and any over to go to
the Red Cross for use in Finland
No money at all to be used for any
expenses or overhead or salaries"
We'll, SO far as this newspaper
S concerned, it will be willing to
receive and forward any such
money that may be contributed in
this manner One suggestion, now
ever, has been that the United
States government Just cancel the
debt, since it seems to have plenty
Of money Cor all other purposes.
This idea was the brain child Of ?
