! Last Monday afternoon young gentle
man Of good appearance walked into the
| County Clerks Office and announced that
he wanted q marriage license. Mr.. Jos. B.
Wood ward, the Deputy Clerk, promptly
waited on him and took the ages and
names. The gentleman gave his age as q
and gave the age of the lady. the daughter
OF a well known citizen Of the county, at
So The wedding he said was to take place
Tuesday afternoon and Rev. VIM. E. Ba-
ker was to be the clergyman, and the knot
was to be tied at the clergyman's house.
Later he asked if the place of marriage
was changed whether that would make any
difference. The clerk told him that the
alteration of the locality named, in the
license would make it all right.
Tuesday afternoon a well known citizen
of the county called ON the clerk to know
if license had been obta ned saying that
he had received note from the intended
bride telling him the wedding would take
place at his house and he had gone to the
trouble of preparing an oyster supper with
the trimmings for the occasion yet the bride
groom still fingered. In the meantime
several parties called for information On
on the subject, among Others Maj. P. FL.
Woodward, who gave the material intel |
ligence that the groom had that morning |
bought from him an migrant ticket and |
left for the West alone. On the previous |
day be had called on him and asked for |
letters of introduction to railroad conduc- |
tors in the west, saying that he intended
to take a lady friend with him, but had
come next day and bought single ticket.
The license was not used or the wedding
supper eaten.
