consent, have finally persuaded Mrs.
Williams to give her permission, and
yesterday afternoon they secured a

soon and their first disappointment is
forgotten in their present JOY.
Williams is only 20 years old, and
when on February Q he came to get
La license he brought his mother with
him. After the clerk had made out
the license and was ready for Mrs.
Williams to sign she was not to be
found, having walked quietly away.
After an anxious search they gave t
up, and had to go back home without
securing a license and in a most uu-
happy state Of mind.
on reaching home they found Mrs,
Williams, who said that at the last
moment she could not bear to part

Charles, her SON gave her no peace
and by the combined efforts of her son,

and this time to sign the register,
showing she was willing for her son TO
marry.
The youthful pair left the recorders
