License T o W ed In Wilkes County Decline Rapidly Matrimonial business In Wllkeo county has hit a new low. During the first half of July only one license to wed was Is sued from the office of the reg ister of deeds, that being to Charlie Minton and Myrtle Teague, both of Wllkesboro. If the present rate of marriages continues the year 1939 will set a new low in number of mar riages for Wilkes over a period of 20 years. The decrease Is attributed to the new marriage law which re quires that prospective brides and grooms pass a physical examina tion. A part of the examination Is a wasserman blood test and from three to four days must elapse between taking of the atimple of blood and learning the results of its examination at the state laboratory or soipe other approved laboratory^/ Some have explaiy/d that not so many balk becaiyi^ of the ex amination or blood test hut that they do not like the delay. How ever, only a small number of dOnples have gone from this sec tion to other states to get mar ried and the natural conclusion Is reaached that the number of mar riages Is at least temporarily on the decline.
