Some More Marrin
ages at Cateechee
As cotton has begun to open, corn is
getting hard and the marriage season is
on, the old matrimonial mill between
Cateechee and Norris has just recently
been overhauled and is now standing
.ith the band on ready to "grind"
either day or night at a minute's notice.
So on last Sunday, the -16th instant,
about 3 p. hi., while the miller was look
ing up the road wondering who would
bring the next "turn," he saw a buggy
coming. When it arrived its occupants
coetine1 a young couple who had de
cided to leave their state of celibacy,
cast their lot with the married class and
live i happier life. After a thorough
investigation his honor, J. Alonzo
rown, N. P., finding that the prospec
ive groom was at young man of ample
n1eans to take cure of a wife in a time
ike this, and that his intended bride
new all about culinary affairs and
ould well take care of his earnings, the
erdict of the court was that Mr. Samuel
- Pilgrim and Miss Ella Bryson should
e made man and wife until death sepa
ated them and that no one should inter
ere with their pleasures unless it be
Jncle Sam (the United States), and
ven then in that event Samuel was to
eturn back to Miss Ella when Uncle
an got thru with him, provided he
ived.
After the above couple had taken
heir leave, within a few minutes up
rove a car with several people in it.
Dme of whom the officiating officer
new and some he never knew, and was
anded a long envelope by one of the
iung men with the statement that he
ad a "mortgage" lie wanted filled.
n scrutinizing the paper very closely
e found that it was a writ from the
murt of probate with his seal attached.
