A number Of Winthrop students were
down town shopping this afternoon,
and their charming spring hats were
in evidence.
One Of our ministers received this
morning four callers Of more than or
binary interest-one elderly woman,
one middle aged man, a young woman
and a young man. At first they SEEM
ed to be speechless, but, the young
man, at length, undertook to make
known his wants. The following is
the trend Of the story. # want to tell
you something. She-pointing to an
attractive sweet, faced woman-is my
wife. We were married in North Car
olina about year ago, and came to
the mill here. A few days ago I had
to testify against man who was
charged with selling whisky, and he got
mad at me. Now, the officer who mar
ried us did not make record Of It.
We have no way to prove the facts,
and the man who sold the whisky say:
he is going to give me trouble. Now,
Mr.. Preacher, there is my mother-in-
law, and there Is a good man to wit
ness, and we want you to marry us
again." The preacher thought another
ceremony could do no harm and ac-
cordingly made a knot in the ties
which seems to be as strong as life al
ready, and they went away happy.
