Iss rs AND WAS WIoowER LESS
THAN A YEAR, But THAT
DIDN'T MATTER.

CHARLESTON, Aug. 29.-There
was a marriage license taken out in
the county clerks Office which oc-
casioned considerable surprise, even
among the groom's children, who we're
unaware that their father who is IS
years old, and has only been a widow
er a little more than a year, had any
idea of marrying the second time. But
the little God Of love looks neither at
age nor uncertainties. The contract
ing parties to this marriage were Rev.
Samuel j. Harklns, a retired Baptist
minister, who resides on his farm on
Sugar Creek, and Mrs. Eyaline Ian
ham, aged 46, a prepossessing widow
who resides in the same vicinity. Mr..
Harkins never allowed any one 10
know Of his Intentions. One Of his
sons, who is employed by Frankenber-
ger & Co., stated that he had no idea
of his father ever beEng-marrledi but
as he had done so there was nothing
to do but send in congratulations.
Mr.. Harkins lives very comfortably
on his place and is also the owner Of
valuable real estate in Charleston, and
has everything that anyone desires.
Mr.. Harklns was at one time very
prominent minister in the Baptist
Church, but recently he has filled the
pulpit only occasionally. He lost his
first wife about the first of February,
1906, and although residing on mis-
home place, took his meals at his sons
home directly across the road.
