HARTINGTON — Vital statistics of the state indicate Cedar County did not make her usual flattering showing during the year 1915.
The increase in population will not be very great unless it comes from new families moving into the County.
There were 397 children born in the county in 1915, an increase of just seven from 1914. The number of boys born dropped from 200 to 195 and the number of girls born went from 190 to 202.
There were 104 deaths in 1915 against 91 the year previous, leaving a net gain of 293. The marriage statistics for 1914 show there were 116 marriages that year. County Judge Bryant issued just 107 marriage licenses throughout the year 1915.

FORDYCE — Two cars met headon near the Ed Arens farm Friday night. The drivers seemed to get confused and in the mix up the autos collided.
One of the cars was driven by Henry Meirose and contained only the driver, while the other car was driven by Jack Hagge and had four other occupants. Both autos and occupants were from Crofton. The Hagge car seemed to come out of the collision with the greatest damage, having the fenders badly bent, windshield broken and top badly smashed.
That there were no lives lost seems to be almost miraculous, especially with the Hagge car, as there were five occupants.
