MERE WORDS DON'T MAKE
MARRIAGE, COURT RULES
West Virginia Supreme Court
Says More Than Words and
Ceremonies Needed
(By United Press)

Huntington West VA, May a.
More than words and ceremonies are
needed to make a marriage contract
valid, the Supreme Court Of West
Virginia has declared.
Lucille Crouch and Floyd Warten-
burg, of Huntington, were married
more: than a year ago. but today
they are no longer man and wife.
Miss Crouch, nineteen-year-old
girl, popular with the younger set,
had known Wartenburg for three
months. They had danced together.
But, according to friends and their
own admissions, they did not love
one another
However, at party in the Fred
erick hotel on the night of January
80, 1921, someone suggested the
couple marry. They did not marry
then.
With even greater speed than Cos
sip usually spreads, it became rumor-
ed that they were to have married
and something had happened. The
press played up the affair and the
young man was worried.
Shortly after the party Warten-
burg met Miss Crouch and explained
his predicament. He told her that
his business would be ruined if they
did not at least 60 through the cere-
mony. He declared that they could
be married, live apart, assume none
of the duties of man and wife and
apply for an annulment of the con-
tract.
Friends were consulted and one of
them purchased a ring while the
couple procured a wedding license.
A hurried ceremony took place at
the parsonage, at the door of which
they parted.
Two days later the girl sought an
anullment of the marriage. The
circuit court refused her prayer.
The Supreme Court Of the state was
appealed to and in recent decision
it was held:
"A marriage is regarded as civil
contract at its inception. The minds
Of the parties must meet in good
faith for the purpose Of carrying out
the contract and the assumption OF
the duties of man and wife, With
out such intent, words and ceremon"
les will not make a valid marriage
contract"
The court decided the plaintiff was
entitled to the relief prayed for and
a. decree was entered awarding the
anullment of the marrige.

OBITUARY.
March 1.

God sometimes steals away the ones we love with all our heart, trans ports them to a paradise, though sad when they depart. The flower God planted here on earth did bloom but just while, but it is sweet to know someday we'll meet where we can truly smile.
 After an illness of almost two years God saw fit to call from this world of ours one of His little children. Elsie keathley was beautiful little girl of but Il years, a flower placed upon earth but to bloom for just while and then to be snatched away by the hand of almighty God, who doeth all things well for those who love him.
 Elsie is gone. We will miss the kind sweet smile that has so often greeted us, No more in this world shall we grasp her to our bosom.
 Elsie was laid to rest in Heffng- ton cemetery February p. She is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs Charlie Keathley, four sisters and one brother, as well as a host of friends who mourn her departure.
 Mrs. Josie Smith.

 We are informed that the club ren dered very interesting and enter taining program on last Friday even ing Charley Treadway was present and he and his son, Matt, treated the audience to some very fine music, which was highly appreciated
 We regret to learn of the death at Damascus on last Friday night of Mrs. Brown, companion of Ed Brown. She leaves a husband and several children and grand children to mourn their loss. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved ones. Mrs. Brown was passionately fond of flow CTS. was a pleasure to visit her home and look at the many beautiful flowers found growing in her flower garden. We think the love of flowers a mark of civilization.
 There seem to be several gentlemen in the county, according to rumor, who are perfectly willing to serve as sheriff. Well, the longest pole usual ly gets the persimmon.
