Wanted to But Couldn't.Jefferson Davis of Lacon, and pretty little Miss- Nellie Dorff ot Putnam, appeared before Thomas A. Connell, county clerk, and asked for a marriage license. He proceeded to fill in the necessary document and when it came time to ask the ages Jefferson frankly answered, 1 am 20 and she is IT. **Can’t do it,” said the hard-hearted official and closed the book. A look of intemse pain flitted over both faces and then the quick-witted Nellie whispered something to Jeff and they left the court house and sought the ’bus for Peoria and came home man and wife. They were several years older in experience if not in years by the time they reached Peoria and we believe they were perfectly justified in adding a few years. They were treated to an old-time serenade at the home of his mother in Lacon Monday evening.
