County Board
Meets Monday

The regular monthly meeting Of
the Vance Board of County Com
missioners on next Monday is eX-
pected to be largely Of a routine
nature, so far as indications go at
the present time, it was learned to-
dav at the court house. The principal
business that now looms is that of
,uawMg a jury for the October term
of Vance Superior Court, which con-
venes the first Monday in October.
1t was indicated today that the
meeting Of the board on Monday
probably would be a short session.
The tax rate has already been fix
ed for the 1939-40 fiscal year, and
the budget has been adopted. The
tax books are not yet ready to be
turned over to the tax collector, and
this will not be done before the first
or October, it was Indicated Unless
some matters of interest or impor-
tance arise between now and Mon
day, the commissioners will not have
very much to claim their attention.

Marriages In
August Least
In Six Years

Marriage licenses issued in this
county in August hit siX-year low
when only seven permits were sold
by the register of deeds. The record
at the court house revealed today
that five white and two colored Ii
censes were taken out. No month
since June, 1888, has seen so few
licenses sold in this county.
In August last year the total was
Is, including ten white and five COL
ored. In July this year licenses were
sold to nine white and three colored
couples. For the first eight months
the total this year has been Sc white
and 40 colored for total of 1O6. For
the like period of 1888 the total was
81 white and 64 colored, for a total
of ISL.
Speculation was that the stringent
regulations on marriage licenses was
a factor, general downward trend
having been noticeable since the en-
actment of the new law by the 1899

were the principal strengthening in
