TILTED BY THREE IN A DAY
Sexton's Choice Had Eloped at the
Last Moment, and He Hated to
Waste the License.

Owingsville, Ky.-The four Spence
sisters, daughters OF Rev Allen Spence,
an elder Of the Holiness" religious
sect of the Moore's Ferry section Of
this county, evidently think there is
better fish in the matrimonial sea than
Lewis Sexton, young farm hand, and
have each Tilted him in turn.
Sexton came here a few days ago
and secured marriage license to take
Miss Clarinda Spence as a wife. Sex
ton had with him the written consent
of the girl, and secured the license
without trouble He did not go after
his promised bride at once, but con-
cluded to wait until the next day, as
he thought his license would keep
\ without ice. Next morning Sexton put
on his Sunday best" and went to the
Spence residence, where he was in
formed that Clarinda, believing that
as Sexton had not appeared the night
before he had concluded to desert her,
and Edgar Highly, former suit
or having appeared on the scene, she
had eloped to Ohio with him and been
married.
Sexton was inconsolable for an hour
or so, but at last said that he supposed |
as the license contained the name Of |
Spence it would make no difference to |
him which one Of the Spence girls he /
married, and he alternately proposed /
to each of his former sweetheart's /
three sisters. but was rejected by each.
His pleadings of the wasted license
availed nothing, and he was forced to
return home without a wife
Ssxton's arst wife died only a few
months ago
