ROSS, publisher of the Ottawa Journal, whose name was mentioned in connection with the lieutenant - governorship of Ontario, Do You Want to Marry? See the Town Clerk He is Single Town Clerk Macpherson recently re- ceived notification from the govern- ment that the new Act in respect to the issuing of marriage licenses, goes into effect on October 1st. The present issurers, however, it appears, have been advised of fifteen days' grace beyond this limit, in order to give them reasonable time to clear out their stock. The new act provides that in organized municipalities, only the Clerk has the power to issue licenses, while in unorganized localities :the necessary documents will be supplied by the police magistrate. The sum to be charged for the lic- ense is five dollars, of which amount four dollars is to be remitted to the office of the Provincial Treasurer. Foirm:erly various persons, partic- uiarly jewellers, who were ready to supply the ring also, were empowered to issue licenses, but this is being done away with. issuers of marriage licenses in Clinton who will be out of a job, are Messrs. C. 13. Hale, W. R. Counter, W. H, Helyar, To clear out their stock and encourage marriages In Clinton, these gentlemen might advertise lic- enses at bargain prices for the next month. The Town Clerk will be a hard man for the Editor of The New Era to have a "scoop" on marriages after October 1st. He'll have the inside information every time. Like as not he'll help him- self to a license some of these days and put a real one over on us. Let's hope) U. F. 0.
