On Wednesday morning Mr. Jesse GREEN and Miss Della HARRISON, of Martin county, near Williamston, drove in the city and applied for marriage license. Just prior to their arrival the Register of Deeds had received a telegram from the young lady’s father, saying that the lady was only 17 years old, and not to issue the license. On being informed of this news, the couple procured a team to drive to Columbia, but before leaving town a friend appeared, and taking the anxious couple to the Court House, made affidavit that the girl was 19, and the necessary papers were given them. Dr. C.P. BOGART of Edenton, was called in, and then there the two were made one. Immediately after the ceremony the groom telegraphed the father that the “gig was up,” and soon after they left for home, looking as happy as if everything had worked smoothly.
