It is an old and time-honored adage that the "course of true love never runs straight." This was verified in this place on Thursday last. A twain from the northern portion of our county, whose tender hearts had been penetrated to the depths, by cupid's arrow, named M. Jeffers and Missouri Watt respectively, daughter of the late John A. Watt, deceased, came to town for the purpose of having their infinite love bound the tighter together with a hymeneal cord, that they (the twain) might "flop" as one solid "lump of happiness" through the rest of their existence upon this terrestrial globe without any fear of a severance by the intervention of others. After arriving here, the trouble become more visible. The parents of the girl were dead, and the clerk would not issue the license, she being a minor, but knowing that the aid of legal knowledge availeth much, they consulted a "young sprout of the law" immediately, and acting upon his advice, the young lady chose a guardian and after filling his bond, he wrote out his consent, after which the clerk issued the license, Uncle Billy Carter performed the ceremony and the two went home rejoicing.
