THE BOAT THAT CARRIED THEM OVER.
could beguile a couple in search Of the
squire into believing that he was the man
and actually marry them himself. His
opportunity usually came when the squire
was absent at the county seat, where he
was frequently called and whittier he al
ways went reluctantly. All Aberdeen folks
were adopts in spotting clippers, and it was
not o difficult matter to find victims for
the practical joker and his boon compan-
ions. The selected couple were conducted
to the tavern parlor, where the prcsumptu-
Gus wag, in wig and spectacles, was intro
duced to the green and gullible swains as
the squire of Aberdeen, who straightway
performed the ceremony, signed their mar
riage certificate with the name of Massie
Beasley, congratulated them and pocketed
the fee When the couple, supposing them
selves to be married, had departed, the
counterfeit squire repaired to the barrOom,
collected his bets and spent the whole
amount in treating the amused and amazed
crowd. Incidents of this kind were, alas.
Of only too frequent occurrence, and thus
many people who are now trembling with
the thought of having been married by
Squire Beasley may be in an even moro
deploroble condition.
