WHO W ERE THEYs

H The Winston em'"'Sentinel OF yester-
day said: A couple arrived here last even.
ing from near Roanoke. The object of
their visit was to get married, but Regis
ter, of Deeds Miller declined to issue them
license. Alderman Vance happened to
drop into the registers Office about dark
He found the couple in there waiting the
arrival of Mr.. Miller. The room was
\ rather dark, but the girl was trying to
decorate the young mans hair. Mr.
Vance turned on the electric light and
gave the couple the best advice "a bach
elor could give. He omitted the most i'm
portant point, however. This-.was in re-
gard to the girls age. When the register
stepped in the young man told his bust
ness. Mr.. Miller asked him how old was
his girl. He replied seventeen This
ended the matter and the register told
the couple that the only thing left for
them to do Off they were determined to
get married) was to go to South Carolina
OF course if they get the written consent
from the girls parents Mr.. Miller will
gladly fill out the papers. Mr.. Vance
says he thought the fellow had sense
enough to know how old a girl must be in
kthis country before she can get married
without her parents consent. The couple
boarded the 1920 train this morning and
it is reported that they have gone to
South Carolina, accepting the suggestion
inside by Register Miller. 1t was learned
to-day that the couple came in on the
freight train last NIGHT A party who
was on the train was told that it was a
runaway; that the girl, after leaving
home, walked quarter of mile or more
in her stocking feet. She and the young
man then drove in n buggy about four.
teen miles to railroad station, where
they boarded the first train that came
along, which happened to be freight

William Williamson was born Decem.

aged 20 years, 10 months and 9 days.
He united with the Dunkard Church in
1874 and lived consistent member Of
the same until his death. He leaves q
wife and nine children to mourn his loss
His christian life was consistent one,
and those who know him best have no
doubt of his being genial child Of God
In his home life he was faithful, kind.
affectionate, never spoke evil of any
one. He was impatient to 90 and be at
rest in the home prepared for him in
his Fathers house. And as he had faith
fully served him here, he passed through
the pearly gates with an abundant en-
trance. He was good husband, Low
ing and affectionate father, true and
generous friend. His place around the
hearthstone is vacant, and heavy cloud
of sorrow o'ershadows the once happy
home. His remains were followed to
their resting place in the Dunkard Gem
etery, near Elmville, by slarge concourse
Of sorrowing friends and relatives. The

his text. II have fought good fight,
I have finished my course, my race is
rum" after which the interment took
place, and the little mound now marks
the resting place. "The Lord gave, and
the Lord has taken away. Blessed be
the name of the Lord"

In that beautiful land,
80 free from all sorrow and pain.
With songs on our lips,
And with hsrps In our hands,
To meet one another again."
