That the road to matrimony is not
always smooth was clearly proved
last week by a couple who came to
this place to get married. They
sought the aid of a Justice, but as he
was not very well up in this branch
/ of his judicial duties he refused to
! perform the ceremony. Not baffled
a by this setback they sought the aid
q of another Justice. Unfortunately
f again, this dignitary had never per-
formed such a duty and hardly dared
: venture on this occasion. Noticing
! the dispondency of the would-be man
: and wife, the Squire took pity on
: them and suggested he would take
: them to the eparson, who would marry
them in proper manner. The offer was
gratefully accepted and the trip made
to the clergyman's, where the knot
was duly tied and the now happy
. couple started out on life's journey
literally, as well as flguratively, hand
