While some questions were being disposed of by the court the youthful couple appeared before the honorable Court with license in hand and requested the learned Judge to make them husband and wife. Judge Smith, was a broad affable smile, which spread all over his face and up to the point where the hair on his head tought to have been, kindly and politely consented. By this time not a sound could be heard in the great auditorium of the court house, all eager to catch every word of the impressive performance. The Judge commanded them to "join right hands" this being done he soon pronounced them man and wife, amid the applause of the audience. The child bride, who was in fact only 14 years of age, was wreathed in smiles and blushes and clung to her young husband with apparant joy. The good natured Judge then dismissed all proceedings against the young knight and bid them go in peace to their happy home. - cookeville Press. *********************************************** Jim Warren, the murderer of Tip Ransom, in the 8th district , is still at large, and it is believed that he is hidding in the vicinity of his crime.
