WANTS TO GET DATED BAcK-On beautiful
Sunday afternoon, last fall, young couple from
an adjoining town came to our village stopped
ut one of the hotels, sent out for clergyman
and were married. The young man paid the
fee, took marriage certificate, and they left the
young man called upon the clergyman with his
certificate land wished to get it dated back
'How far back do you wish it Dated" inquired
the clergyman. "Why, as near as we can cal
cuate, about Il couple Of months" replied the
young man. This the clergyman declined doing,
but the young man wished he would, "as he had
rather give five dollars than not to have it dated
back" The clergyman regretted the necessity
of dating back the certificate, and was very sor-
ry he could not comply with his wishes; SO the
young man left with his IS and marriage GER
titicate, the latter being 'as near as they could
calculate, about couple of months too short"
