Bryant. who said he was a telegrapher
in the employ of the Norfolk and West
ern railroad at Walkertown. N. c., and
had eloped with pretty Annie E. Jones
of the same town. who admitted her
age as eighteen years. caused the
shattering of his hopes today when he
applied at the city hall for marriage
license. Col. William A. Kroll. the
license clerk. who is regarded as the
friend of all matrimonially inclined
lads and 1assies, was convinced that the
applicant had not passed twenty-one
years on this mundane sphere. and so
exercised his discretion by declining to
issue the license.
The couple appeared shortly after
the office opened for business this
morning and Col. Kroll, after refusing
license, suggested that they think
the matter over. Shortly before noon
Bryant and the girl again approached
the marriage license counter and the
lad declared that after due considera-
ton he was still bent on matrimony.
Col Kroll was obdurate, however, and
again declined to issue the license.
