It is learned that many North Carolina wedding couples are buying license in Virginia, and having the ceremonies of mar riage consummated outside of their own State. This is the di rect result of the late law whereby in this State candi dates for matrimony must sub mit to the physical examination of a physician before procuring license. The Reporter was in formed this week by a citizen of Snow Creek township—which borders on Patrick county, Va. —that he knew of four Stokes county couples to marry in one day recently,and the license was purchased and the nuptials per formed in each case in Patrick. There is a spot right over the line from the North Carolina side—just a few yards distant —where two or three public roads converge, and there are several R. F. D. boxes, and a minister living within sight. Here is a popular place for the Carolinians to get the not tied. License is also cheaper in Vir ginia than in this State. The consequence is that Virginia is getting the fees. Register of Deeds Wall here can testify to the fact that, while marrying and givving in marriage con tinues among our people as usual, yet Stokes is losing a great deal of the revenue for merly derived from this source.

In rela , ting the remarkable benefits re | ceived by his wife from the use of the medicine, he said: "If any one had told me a few » months ago that it was possible I i for any medicine to help any r i body as much as Tanlac did my i wife I wouldn't have believed 3 them. But it's a fact, it has - done more for her than all the j medicines and treatment she » took in the past fifteen years put together, and for the first j time in all these years she is what could be called well and * strong. i "To make matters worse, about three months ago she had i to undergo an operation for ap- V jpendicitis, and after the opera tion she was in a weak and help * less condition. She had no ap g petite, could not digest her food e ! properly and had awful attacks * of palpitation of the heart ami e shortness of breath. She had f no strength or energy and we could find nothing to build her 5 up. "Fortunately one of her good . friends brought her a bottle of Tanlac, and it is certainly won d derful how she responded to this ' medicine. It gave her a splen >. did appetite and she seemed to r get new life and energy with ev ery dose. All of her stoijm'h t trouble disappeared, the color ? came back to her cheeks and I she began to sleep like a healthy " child all night long. She looks >8 20 years younger, too. Of course we are enthusiastic about Tanlac at our home." Tanlac is sold by leading T druggists everywhere.

The article, which is taken from an Oklahoma newspaper, follows: Leavenworth, Kan., Oct. 29, 1921.—The oldest twin brothers in the United States, according to all available records, are Joel and James Cheatwood, of Fair mont township, Leavenworth, Kansas. The twins recently celebrated their ninetieth birth day anniversary with a family I , reunion. The twins still boast of being able to handle a plow and to cut as straight a furrow as any of the young bucks still in their teens. Neither of the brothers looks his age. Both have the agility of the average man of 50 and are examples of the rugged pioneers who settled in Kansas during the days preceding the Civil war. Joel has a flowing white beard and so has James. Both of them part their hair on the left side |and both have blue eyes, j The two brothers for a period ! of 50 years have lived within a mile of each other. When thev decide to pay each other a visit they don't crank up the car 'out !just "hoof it" as they say. ! In appearance they can hardly be distinguished apart. Both can read without the use of spectacles. Joel and James Cheatwood were born in Stokes county, North Carolina, Oct. 11, 1831. Joel came to Kansas in 1857. James came a year before his brother, and they remember many interesting events of the pioneer days. Deleware Indians were on the reservations here when they first came to Kansas.

A. G. JONES MADE CHAIRMAN Near East Relief Drive For Funds Will Be Started At Once. STOKES' PART $726 The Fathers Of these Orphan Children Nodoubt Saved tke Loss Of Many Of the North Carolina Boys. Mrs. Dr. A. G. Jones, of Wal nut Cove, has been re-appointed chairman for Stokes county of the Near East Relief in its drive for funds this year, according te announcement from Raleigh to day by Col. Geo. H. Bellamy, State chairman. North Carolina is raising $200,000, which feeds, clothes and educates 3334 orphans «f Armenian martyrs in the Ofcl North State's five orphanages at Trebizond. Stokes county's share of this relief fund is $720, which saves the lives of 12 of these children. "Many of these children were made orphans during the great war," says Col. Bellamy, "when 300,000 Armenians were killed in defense of the vast Baku oil fields. Experts agree that had the Germans reached this objec tive they could have prolonged the war for many months." "Had this been accomplished there are many North Carolina boys back home now who would have been sleeping under a wooden cross in France. North Carolina cannot see the children of these heroes starve or freeze to death." Others of these children were I made orphans when their moth ers and fathers were brutally 'murdered during the Turks' jdepredations into Armenia be cause they refused to renounce Christ and all that he stood for !and become Mohammedans.
