The Fun Was Not
Over.
Veracious Arroimf of a Wedding By a
Jlewly Commissioned Justice of the
Peace lu Arkansas.
Arkansas Traveler: A very inter
esting wedding occurred over at
Hock’s Springs the other night. Ben
Loth r and Ida Grimes ran away
from the neighborhood where they
had been reared and applied to
voung Dickinson, who accepted a
call to preach. The arrival of the
runaway couple soon became known
and quite a number of young people
gathered at the school house where
the ceremony was to be performed.
The preacher upon arriving, called
Bill Fellers to one side and said:
“Bill, I couldn’t refuse to accom
modate that young couple, but to
the truth I do not know how to
perform a marriage ceremony. I
was never married and I never saw
anybody married, and I don’t under
stand the performance.”
“I never saw anybody married
either.” Bill replied, “and I don’t
believe there’s anybody here that
understands it.’’
“It won’t do to disappoint them,
for I understand the girl’s father is
in pursuit. Let’s see, you were com
missioned as a justice of the peace
the other day, wern’t you ?”
“Yes, but the papers didn’t shed
any light on marriage ceremonies.”
“I don’t know what to do about
it.” the young preacher continued.
“Thev’ve begun to grow restless, you
see.”
“Well, parson, I don’t understand
it any more than you, but I’m willing
if you’ll help me kill hogs next week,
to take the job off your Lands.”
“All right.”
Bill turned to the company and
said:
“Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve met
here to engage in a very serious
business. This young couple,” point
ing, think they ought to be married,
and it ain’t for me to say they ougl t
not. “Young fellow have you got
your license ?”
“Yes, sir.”
“All right. Hop out here.”
The young couple advanced.
“Joir. bands,” said Bill. I would
like to say that the new ceremoi y
just approved by the Governor has
gone into effect. Those who have
never seen this ceremony before will
doubtless be amused at its novelty,
but I’ll say right here that all snick
ering will be contempt of court.
Young man what is your business ?
“I am a farmer,,
“Ah, ha, How many rails can you
split a day ?”
“Four hundred in good timber.”
■“Will you swear it ?.
“Yes, sir."
“Hold up your right hand.”
He held up his hand and was
sworn. Bill continued:
“Are you a good band to cover
corn ?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Please say ‘yes yer honor.”
“Yes, your honor.”
“That’s right. How much can
cover in a day.”
“Three acres if the laud is in good
condition.”
“Will you swear it ?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Yes, your honor.”
“Excuse me.” “Yes, your honor.”
“Hold up your right hand.”
He was sworn again.
“What was the weight of the
largest fish you ever caught ?”
“I don't rsmember exactly. About
five pounds, I reckon.”
“Will you swear it.”
“No, your honor.”
“All right. Are you willing to
marry this girl ?”
“Yes, your honor. If I wan’t I
would not have brought her here.”
“That's what. I thought.” Bill
meditatively replied. “You love her,
I reckon 1”
“Yes, your honor.”
“How much?”
“Oh, I don’t know. Ever so m uch.
“What did she say when you asked |
her ?”
“She said yes”
“G’ad to hear it.”
“Now, young lady will you please
advance and kiss the judge.”
The girl hesitated a moment, but
she stepped out and kissed Bill.
“Do }ou love this man?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Yes, your honor.”
The girl corrected her mistake.
“How much do you love him '?”
“Lots.”
“Glad to hear it Please st ,p
formaid and kiss the judge.”
Again she kissed him.
“Keineu-ber that you are under (
oath. Did vou ever love any one
else ?” * ’ ‘ ‘ 1
“Yes, your honor.”
“Why didn’t you marry him ?”
“He dind't ask me.”
“Please advance and kiss the
judge.”
“Look here ’squire,” said the would
be bridegroom, “I believe weed
rather be married the old way.”
“The old way is repealed. Young
lady how old are you ?”
“Lock here, judge,” said the im
patient lover, “that’s none of your
business.”
“Yes it is Young lady, you will
please advance and kiss the judge.”
“No, I'll be blamed if she shall!”
exclaimed the young man, “an’ more’n
that this thing has gone far enough.
Now I want to ask you a few ques
tions. Don’t move,” The young fellow'
whipped out a pistol, and Bill's knees
began to bump each other. “Now
just stand there, Did you ever see a
bigger liar than you are ?”
“No, sir.”
“No, Colonel:’,
“No, colonel,” Bill replied.
“Would’nt you steal if you had a |
chance ?”
“Yes, colonel.”
That’s what I thought. Now, con
found you, lead us to a preacher’s
residence pretty devilish quick. Come
on folks. The fun aint over yet.
