COUPLES CAN'T PROVE
THEY ARE MARRIED

Atlanta, Ga, October 16-That
scores of couples married in Full
ton county could not produce a
proof OF marriage by reference to
the records in the county ordi-
nary's office is the rather dis
quoting discovery in connection
with the receipt of the ordinary
Of certified licenses sent here by a
former Atlanta pastor who per-
formed the ceremonies more than
twenty-five years ago.
Instead of certifying the licen-
ses and forwarding the same to
the ordinary without delay, the
minister laid them in a pigeon
hole in his desk and forgot all
about them. Now, residing in a
western city, he finds the licenses
in the bottom of an old trunk, and
sends them to the ordinary by re-
gistered mail.
what they don't know won't
worry them" is about the only
consolation the ordinary can Of
fer to the married couples who are
living in blissful ignorance of the
embarrassing predicament in
which they would find themselves
if it should ever become neces-
sary to produce legal proof that
they are husband and wife.
While the ordinary, of course,
hasn't given out any names, he
states that many prominent peo-
pie were neglected by the preach
er who performed their cere-
monies. Hereafter the ordinary
will undertake to put in opera
ton a followup system, whereby
he can keep track of all licenses
issued and see that they are re
turned by the ministers or others
performing the ceremony.
