An unsophisticated young couple
from West Virginia alighted from
one of the west bound b. & o. trains
here on Monday. They were covered
from head to heels with mud evident
ly having driven for many miles
to reach a railway station ahead
of an angry parent. After regis
tering at one of the hotels the
groom to-be procured a marriage
license at the court house and then
went on the hunt for a minister, who
was soon found and the duty devolv-
ing upon him to unite in bonds of
matrimony all who applied having
been performed, the groom PROFOUND
ed the question: How much do |
owe you for this job?'' Being answer
ed that no regular price was fixed for
the service he fished from the lower
story of his apparel a rusty five dollar
bill and asked the minister if he had
any change, but ministers like editors
always being hard up, he was unable
to accommodate him. The groom
went to nearby store, asking the
clerk to change the bill SO that quar-
ter could be gotten out of it. This he
handed the minister and then depart
ed for the hotel where his bride was
awaiting his arrival. The couple left
for the east Tuesday morning as hap
ply as doves in cote.
