COUPLES MARRIED TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
 
More than Three Hundred Licenses Were Granted in Richland County Probate Court in 1896,  and Will Be Able to Celebrate Silver Wedding Anniversary This Year.
 
Three hundred and fifty-three couples were granted licenses to wed by the Richland county probate court in 1896, and these couples will therefore be eligible to celebrate their twenty-fifth or silver wedding anniversary during the year.
 
December was the favorite month for those who were wedded 25 years ago, as there were more licenses granted -44- than during any other month of the year.  June was next in popularity, as 41 licenses were granted, and October was next with 37.  July was the least favored, as only 20 licenses were issued during the hot month.  An unusual thing in connection with the licenses issued is that here were 176 granted during the first six months and only one more than that number in the last six months.
