With the revival of business and in dustry in the Bast, the Gretna Green has made a wonderful improvement in 'the traffic of the half do:;en marrying parsons and the fees for .July are said to have exceeded any previous month since Elk ton became popular as a getniarriefl-quick center, says an Elkton, Aid., dispatch. The Rev. Daniel F. Lockerbie, dean of the marrying clergy, in point of years is said to have set a new record for fees on July 3, when he is reported to have tied the matrimonial knot for six couples. This is tho real high water mark for one' day and probably represents almost half the matrimonial patromige of any single day in this place, not excepting Christmas times. The Rev. Lockeibie, however, apparently over exerted himself on Indcpendance day, and since that time has been seriously ill, but it is reported re covering. During the period of his confinement to his bed he, however, looked after patrons through the Rev. Martin P. Schweitzer, who served as a substitute. The fees obtained by the Rev. Mr. Lockerbie from generous bridegrooms are attracting some interest. It is generally understood that the average fee for holiday marriages is $10; at this rate the minister would have taken in some $00 on the one day. The inconic 4'rom his office for July is said to have been upward of $2,000. Lockerbie has become an institution in the Gretna Green.

People are said to prefer the aged scholar to wed them. It is said he invariably waives his prerogatives or kissing the bride. There arc four other ministers who possibly receive lers in fees than Lockerbie, but who do a large business. One minister used to tell his friends he made so much money ho did not like to take his Saturday and Sunday earnings to the bank on Monday, so he divided them into four parts and sent his wife with two portions and took the same number himself, at different times, de positing tin m in the banks.
