Cupid Intervenes,One day last week Wilmer Hall, son of Amos Hall, of Warren county, and Lola Grace Smith, daughter of Geo. Smith, pf west of Covington, applied for a marriage li-1 cense at the county clerk's office I in Covington. After replying sat- J ia^n isfactory to all the questions theMalicense was made out and given to ,£t\JotWedatJ! the expectant bride. She handled ! the legal paper cautiously, with a i few minutes of deep thought, and then she frankly told the clerk that she was undecided about taking the step because she feared her anc parents would not fully approve it js el on sccount of the fact that her in-1 ^ur tended husband would have toj ^ leave the following day with the ; WI^ Warren county contingent for ai l' training c that her love was Ala as strong as ever but she doubted the wisdom of such a move under such circumstances. Young Hall J a showed his superior judgment by at once declaring he would not insist upon immediate marriage but j would be willing to wait and come j one back and claim' the girl of hi tov choice after his war work was com- j t0 ^ pleted. With this understanding, I the license was returned. MisfeJ Smith is 18 and Mr. Hall 23 in numbers of years, but in judgment they are as old as the wisest. It was a great sacrifice for the two young lovers to give up their chief life purpose after completing arrangements up to the service of a preacher, and it is a safe prediction that there will be at least one happy | wedding when this soldier lad re-■ turns from “over there.”—Attica!lhe! furthesouonceshasancupprcIintroTribune,da1-
