claims that at the time he took unto
himself. a wife he was possessor OF

had vanished.
Asa result, he was compelled to APP
peal to the Board of Charities for ard
and prove that he really was a resident
of Virginia. He went 10 the Postoiilce
Department and obtained a certihed
statement that he had held the position
of postmaster at Bagby, Caroline coun-
ty. This statement, he hopes, VIII get
him the loan Of 81, which is necessary
for transportation for himself and his
bride to Richmond. He claims that he
has regular work as a carpenter IN
Richmond and can pay back the loan
soon after he gets to work.
The loss of the SIS which would have
landed them back in their home city is
attributed by the groom to be due to
his liking for a celebration
Mrs. Gouldin was formerly Miss Bet

relationship existed between her hus-
band and herself. She met Gouldin IN
