COURT HOUSE NEWS.

Item* of Interest Gathered In the Offices of the County Capitol. Ezra Clark has been appointed on the board of review in place of M. J. Delebanty of Wheatfield, who could not serve owing to other business. —o — • Marriage licenses issued: June 9, Charles W. Beaty to Ella J. Karr. June 9, Samuel N. Pullins to. Irma Crosscup. —o— June is said to be the most popular month of the year for marriages, while in May the fewest marriages occur. The record for the former month doesn’t show up very well in Jasper county this year.

We are told that people of this county who had money on deposit in the McCoy bank and were assessed on same this spring can probably, get such assessment reduced by appearing before the board of review and making known the fact that they were assessed on funds deposited in this particular bank. This information comes to us from the county assessor. and parties who may be affected by such assessment should come in and have the same reduced. *~~o— New suits filed: No. 6680. John Eger, Granville Moody, John Martindale, D. G. Warner, Theo. F. Clark, Louis H. Hamilton, W. B. Austin, Emmet L. Hollingsworth, Walter V. Porter, Mary E. Robinson, John W.
