COURSE OF TRUE LOVEHAS ROUGH SLEDDINGi\Ic1t:When Thomas O. Mellady went to Monticello yesterday to marry Gladys Baker, 16 years old, and 17 years his junior, he had quite a time. Both live in Round Grove township, White county. Because Gladys was but 16 years old Pa and Ma Baker accompanied their daughter to the White county capital to give their consent, which was necessary. Then Thomas secured a justice of the peace to tie the nuptial knot and start them on their voyage o’er the matrimonial sea. Ma Baker did not like the idea ofa J. P., but insisted upon a minster. To be an obliging son-in-law, Thomas went in search of one, but, alas, his efforts were fruitless. This proved another thorn in Ma Baker’s crown j and she gave vent to her feeling in a flood of tears. So Justice E. G. Smith was called. When the justice called for the ring the bridegroom’s face turned red, then white, for after feeling in his pocket for the ring he remembered he had left it in his plow pants at home. The ring part of the ceremony was cut out and Thomas and Gladys were made man and wife. They returned to Round Grove last evening, where the groom, who is the son of Mrs. Eilen Mellady, is a successful farmer.— i Thursday Courier.iiiIctcct«111t1c
