The License Law And Business

The new law requiring the taking out of a marriage license by those matrimonially nclined, which goes into effect next Tuesday, it is intimated will be a good thing for the ministers and justices of the peaee living in the various county seats throughout the state, and for business e;enerally. According to the new law, at least one of the interested parties must personally appear and make applioation for the document. In this county last year quite a large number of marriages were returned, and macy of them were from the country. Now when a rural couple wants to bB joined together "so long as ye both shall live," they will no doubt, ia many case, both go to the seat of county government, get their official permission, seek a minister or some other authorized person, and take unto themselves the solemn vow which shall forever make them one and inseparable. On this day, too, the groom will of course spend more or less money, in fact he can't help it, for miscellaneous articles will have to be procured, and perhaps new clothing and goods that will be handy for housekeeping. While none of them may spend a very large amount, yet the aggregate will be considerable in the course of a year. If ever a man should be in a liberal state of mind and regardless of expense, it should be when this happy event takes place, and that is just the way many of them will feel aboutit.
