The marriage license business picked up considerably yesterday, when three licenses were issued. One had also been issued the day before. All were to young farmers who are planning to start out in life for themselves and have induced some young woman to share their fate. R. B. Haligus, who for some years was the Watkins agent in Jasper county and who has many friends here, left this morning for his home at Elgin, 111. He is just recuperating form a case of typhoid fever that attacked him in October and confined him to his bed for two months. • Dr. H. *J. Laws arrived here at about noon today with his new Hupmobile runabout. He came as far as Crown Point yesterday and completed the trip this morning. He said that there was about 10 inches of snow at Crown Point, so it appears that the snow was much heavier north as well as south of here. The poorest policy and the worst economy is to keep children out of school for every trivial reason. Every day lost has its manifold effect; the knowledge gained on that day is lost to that child, it is thrown behind, becomes discouraged, has a bad effectr on the class and the very habit is one to be avoided.

A confusion of names resulting either from misinformation or misunderstanding paused us to say yesterday that Dr. E. N. Loy would move from his residence on College street to the house to be vacated by Vern, Robinson. It is not Dr. Loy but Dr. H. J. Laws who is to move. Dr. JiOy will continue his residence where it now is. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Kenton and Miss Floss Kenton left this morning for Mitchell, S. Dak., where they will make their future home. They went via Elgin, 111., accompanying R. B. Haligus, whom they will visit until tomorrow evening, when they will start on their way to Mitchell, Mrs. Frank Kenton and the other children will leave in about a week. They take with them the best wishes of a host of friends. • * C. S. Chamberlin and Scott Chesnut arrived here last night at about 10:30 after a rough trip from Chicago witp two new Buicks. The fresh snow was without a wagon track and there was a glare of snow and ice that made it almost impossible to keep the road. It seems that the ice and snow has never melted away in the northern part of the state and that while practically every bit was gone here there was sjjll sleighing and skating near Hammond. The cars brought through are for Dr. Washburn and Fred Phillips. Buy your shoes at an exclusive shoe store.
