Taylor at Madrid: minister of State

as hewent direct to she clerk office and
asked for marriage license, which was
very necessary document In case that
the nuptial knot should be tied
and to the other party concerned, who
was Miss Martha L., daughter of SUIT

The young man seemed rather excited,
but did mott or9et to ask for the nearest

Junot TO such q performance.
Deputy Clerk Bryant, who Ia always
ready 10 accommodate, volunteered his
s3rvices TO hunt minister. They went
to the Ponce de Leon in quest of Mr..
Jones, but he was not In. They then
proceeded down the street in the vicinity
OF the Terry building when they found
Rev. R. w. Patton, rector of Christ
Church, who consented to mako them
one.
Mr.. Wilkes and his friends, together
with Mr.. Patton, Mayor Jones, Everett
Perkins and w. o. Hardswsy, repaired
to the residence Of Mr.. Aliff to witnes
the affair. Upon arriving il was found
that the bride to be had left homo, so
the wedding had to be postponed.
The crowd dispersed and the ex-
pectant groom soon found the girl ana
II is alleged, locked her up until he
could secure the services OF minister.
Rev. Mr.. Patton's services were again
required and he in company with j. R.
Bryan went to Mr.. Aliff's house for the
purpose Of making the young people
one. The wedding was again broken
up, this time by the young lady deolav-
Ing that she had concluded not to
marry. The young man, with his
friends, returned to his home in Bed
ford county but he did not take with
him bonny Roanoke bride.
