HO.vTho economic; drought has dried up the Free State marriage market and profes- siohal matchmakers are having léean days: In ‘the past, these men were of greit importance in the raral life of Ireland. Now their number has dwindled and thé few ' who are left find business languishing. The reason they say, it that farmers are living on their capi- |tal since economic war started be- tween the Free State and Britain. Cattle and produce fetch little money. As a result, the matchmakers explain, dowries which were set aside for marriageable daughters have been drawn upon by the par- ents who advize that wedding plans “wait ano.her year for bet- ter times.” “The farmers y they are being put in the front line trenches in | this economic war fith Britain,” ©aid one professional matchmaker, “but they are getting subsidies on the sales of their cattle. “We professional matchmakers are really in the trenches for we have no government assistance.” —————— TWINS KEEP DOCTORS BUSY COMMERCE, Ga., Aug. 30.—The stork ‘séems to have had things framed up against the doctors in this community the other night.
