finest season, there has been
nary a license issued for the past
two days at the offices of the

turn to love. Divorces, meanwhile,
hare kept coming' In in an almost
daily succession. With June still
more than 30 days away, however.
County Clerk Boyer has not lost
hope and expressed the opinion
Friday that more licenses would
speedily be the order of the day.
