Something of social function Oc-
Cured in the county Jail at Memphis.
lately, when Charles f. Ward, who is
imprisoned for counterfeiting, was
married to Miss Nora Anderson OF
Woodstock, Tenn. Ward is about
30 years old, while Miss Anderson Is
about 90. The ceremony was per-
formed by Squire Garvin in the lobby
of the jail, and was witnessed by a
score or more of people. some friends
of the parties. while others were at
tracted by the novelty of the proceed
ingS
Ward was a farmer until he tried
to better his condition by making and
passing counterfeit money. The
money he made was very rank coun-
terfeit and easily detected, which is
the cause of his present situation.
Ward pleaded guilty to the charge of
counterfeiting before the United
States court, and his sentence is pend
ing.
He has been engaged to Miss Alder
son for four years, and she was will
ing to marry him regardless of the
fact that for several years he will be
compelled to make his residence in
the penitentiary, and he thought it
would be better for all parties con.
cerned that it should be so.

developed at Memphis recently. when
an application was made by Sarah
Patty to act as guardian of the minor
heirs of Maggie James, deceased. All
the parties are cOlofed, and interest
attaches to the proceedings from tire
fact that the deceased left ten chill

who are dead, dying herself at the age
of 80. T. r. Bell, a colored lawyer,
presented the petition and, when
questioned as to the truth of the state
