license lor the marriage of a ;'ves
tern"' storekeeper aud gauger, who
had been on duty in this county,
and the daughter of a prominent
citizen of north Iredell, saying that
the expectant groom would be in
town Sunday evening with the bride-to-be
and that the marriage would
take place then. 1 Register Turner
was uot. satisfied 'about the age of
the young lady and he requested
theyoung man to whom he delivered
the license not to" deliver it to the
"western" man until the proper
affidavits were made.
We understand that the would-be
Benedict went to the home of the
young lady after her Sunday or
Monday, bat that he wes met by
the father of the girl, who convinced
him that the. marriage would- not
take place. They do say that the
irate father drove the "westerner"
off with a double barreled shot gun
and locked his daughter in a room of
the house. However th is m:n' 1 ie
the "western'
man came into town
a.one Mondav evening, nrmpjirimr
anything else than the happy bride
groom. So great was his dejection
that not even the wedding supper,
which his friend at this end of the
line had prepared for him, woald
tempt his appetite.
The man who got the license mis
understood the register's instruct
ions and delivered it to the "western' "
man, who, it is given out, has re
turned to his home beyond the
"ridge. " Register Turner is just a
little anxious about the license as
he has found out that the girl is only
about 10 years old. Her father is
one of the best citizens of north
Iredell:
