Another plan he is investigat ‘\ing is that of only one commissioner, ‘who would devote all of his time ‘to the business affairs of the county ‘The one commissioner plan has been adopted by a number of counties.

In many instances we would be unfair to no one in setting a valuation on another person’s article, but in some instances there would be a difference of opinion and the question wonid arise whether one or the other were honest.

Strange to say, the average artiele sold by individuals as great bargains, especially in diamonds, sell for more lthan we can duplicate them for.

When the work was com pleted he thought no more of the wood until a day or two ago, when he went to haul it to a customer in Dawson, and his surprise can be bet ter imagined than told whenthe dis covered that not a stick of it was there. Some enterprising thief had’ hauled the wood all away, and in all probability sold it. The wood was worth $3.00 a cord.

On the other hand, the month just closed was extremely warm, the tem perature several days veaching as high as 75 to 80 degrees. The maxi mum for January since the weather bureau was established nearly half a century ago was 80 degrees. Only three times during that long period has the weather even for a day been as warm. An excess of temperature amounting to 290 degrees was ac cumulated during the month, NOW COST MORE TO MARRY }Judge Cheatham Takes Advantage of Cupid and Boosts Price of Mar riage Licenses. The cost of marriage, like other necessities or luxuries of life—just as you view it—has increased. ~ Saturday Ordinary W. B. Cheat ham raised the price of marriage li cneses from $1.50 to $2.00, the price that is authorized by law and whica has prevailed in many of the counti=s of the state. Judge Cheatham does not expect Cupid to be any the less industrious on account of the increased cost of getting married, and will keep cn hand just as big a supply of licenses as ever. In fact, he says there has not been the least cbjection on the part of those who have needed a li cense since Saturday, and that all have seemed not on'y willing but ea ge~ to pay the $2.00. DR.

Play Will Be Presented by Local Taleuit on February 14th, “The Young Minister’’ will be pre ‘sented by the amateurs Friday, Feb. 14th. This play is copywrighted, and those who attend will find that they are not witnessing a production of the printed play-book kind. It is a new and beautiful heart drama tell ing the story of a lovely and lovable heroine; a modern play built on old lines that has a gripping heart inter est. The theme and type of charac ters are the old familiar ones that never die in popular favor, as they appeal to a refined audience. Mr. Wallace, whose clever work has been witnessed here before, will be seen in the title role, a part that seems to fit him well. Mr. John Ed Morris, as the minister’s designing brother, does some ciever acting with the ex-convict, who is played well by Terrell Ragan. The comedy parts, handled by Mr. Hawkins, Miss Chris tie and Mr. and Mrs. Lavely, will be accepted as good, wholesome fun. The leading part of the persecuted school ma’am, by Miss Berta Bald ‘win, taxes the resources and emo tional genius of any star actress. Dawson should be proud of her Woman’s Clubk, and this entertain ment should receive a liberal patron age as a reward to these ladies, whose untiring efforts are doing so much for the general welfare.
