Has Longest Name OF
ANY Man In Sussex

Any Nan I'm Sussex
With fifteen letters in his sur
name. Thomas Anagnostopoulos, of
Seaford, probably can lay claim to
having the longest name of any man
in lower Delaware and probably on
the Del-MaT-Va Peninsula.
This was brought to light on
Tuesday afternoon when Miss Dor
othy Morgan, daughter of Clerk Of
the Peace Francis r. Morgan, was
filing some returns which had been
sent in to the Office from justices of
the peace who had granted marriage
licenses.
Among the list was found a dupli-
cate sheet of the marriage record
book in possession of Magistrate
James X. Phillips. of Seaford, who
on March 2i had issued a license to
Mrs. Augusta A. Warrington. daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Tracei,
of SeafOrd, and AnagnostOpoulOs.
Where and when the marriage
took place is not known, because the
minister performing the ceremony
has failed, it is said, to make re-
turn which it to be attached to the
sheet received from Magistrate Phil I
lips. Justices of the peace through
out Delaware are required by law
to make their returns to Clerk of
the Peace Morgan within 4S hours, !
while the ministers are given 96 /
hours. Both failing to adhere to the /
statute are subject to fines. Ministers |
and justices of the peace are charg-
ed with being too lax in giving at
tentiOn to the issuance of licenses
and making returns of the mar
riages.
Recently Clerk of the Peace Nor
gan notified all magistrates now is
suing marriage licenses of the pro-
visions of the law, especially calling
heir attention to the fact that none
IF them had a right to Issue one tO
divorced persons. This only can be
lone by him in Sussex county.
