MARRIED

A long distance telephone call to
the county clerk at Jefferson Jeffer-
son county, was the final stroke in
razing the barriers that opposed the
matrimonial plans Of Charles Grover
Stanton, Ladysmith, and Miss Mil
dred Witsleb, of Lake Mills, who
were married at 1870 Wednesday
evening at the groom's home by
Rev. G. Fl. Sanders.
The couple filed an application for
a marriage license last week, but the
permit failed to arrive in due time.
and the patience Of the young peo,
pie being exhausted, they went to
Justice Reeves with the request that
he marry them on the strength of
the application. The judge, however
was much averse to duplicating him
self to the extent of a $500 fine and
was forced to refuse the request.
The couple then enquired as to the
procedure necessary for a common
law marriage, but this method evi-
IDENTIFY did not appeal to them for on
Wednesday they appeared before
Rev. Sanders with their troubles.
Mr.. Sanders kindly solved the per-
picking problem by telephoning the
county clerk of Jefferson county and
receiving verification that the Ii
cense had been properly issued. With
this assurance the wedding shortly
took place.
Mrs VIM. Dalton, a sister of the
bride, and Lewis Stanton We're wit
nesses of the ceremony. The young
couple will make Ladysmith their
home.
