BY SUPERVISOR.

j. A. Jackson and Miss Mamie Hug
gins reached Hattiesburg this morning
from Richton and while sauntering
along the street aroused considerable
interest by their loving glances, which
the couple were casting at each other.
The discerning eyes of Police officer
Messer caused him to apprehend the
pair for the purpose of having the
man explain his purpose: in view of
the fact that while his age appeared
to be fully forty-five, the girl wearing
short skirts and a misses garb, did
not appear to have passed the age of
sweet sixteen.
The man explained that they intend
ed to marry and was advised by Chief
Bennett that he might be running a
risk in the event he swore the girls
age to be IS, in order to get the mar.
riage license.
AS both man and girl seemed to be
determined to marry, the chief of po
lice sent them to the circuit clerk as
the place to secure the precious, be
cause necessary document.
The man was quick to assure the
clerk of his willingness to, make the
required oath, and when the clerk be
gan to write out the document the gir
perched herself on the clerks higl
desk while watching with eager in
terest the preparation of the lega
paper which enabled her to abandon
the name of Higgins for that of Mrs
Jackson.
Mr. H. D. Poole, member of tn
board of supervisors being near, hi
services were secured for the require
ceremony and in a jiffy the coupl
were pronounced man and wife.
