Let the philosophers undertake to decide whether leap year has any sig nificance in regard to ths great ac tivity of the matrimonial market. Readers of the papers will have been impressed with the great number of marriuges reported from all parts of our beloved State since the fall season set In. Nor are all the marriages, by any means, reported. The train peo ple sny they have had honeymooners until it Is past talking about. And the 'business is growing more crowded as the year of privilege draws to its close. Yesterday's Observer gave accounts of thirteen alas! marriages. Deputy Register of Deeds B. R. Powell, wlvo IS himself a chronic bachelor, issued Wednesday thirteen alas! licenses. Let us pooh-pooh the unlucky number and eschew supersti tion. There Is some reason , why we may do so. for, of the thirteen wed dings yeaterdsy reported, only seven, the perfect number, were celebrated In Mecklenburg. Now, a long pull and a strong pull and a pull all together! There are only sight more days of priviege, and the bachelors are floating a defiant flag, giving bachelor lawyers dinners, and so on. It Is up to the ladles. Pub- CIGARS FOR CHRISTMAS, We have all the popular brands of Cigars In all sine boxes: 5c. Goods. CINCO MARTINEE C. H. S.
