Young Couple
Have Trouble
Getting Tied
Says the Batesville Guard:
Mrs. Mary Jackson attracted con-(
siderable attention Monday in Bates- j
ville, and according to those who at
tempted to sympathize with her, fol- j
lowing the receipt by her of news!
that her young daughter had eloped
with a young man named Charlie
Meachum, she was indeed hard to
pacify.
Several days ago Mrs. Jackson'
heard that her daughter intended to ]
marry young Meachurr*, whereupon!
she went to Mr. Hooper, county clerk, j
and forbid him to issue license to the j
couple. Monday the couple went to
the clerk’s office to obtain license but
Mr. Hooper refused to issue the cer
tificate. They insisted, and the young
woman declared she was 18 years
old, but they failed to get the license.
The couple then proceeded to char
ter an automobile and lit out for some
other point. Mrs. Jackson, 'hearing
that they had gone to Newport, lost
no time in having the county clerk
there notified not to issue the license,
so when Meachum and the girl reach
ed there they were refused the li
cense.
Mrs. Jackson went to Newport last
night but could find no trace of the
couple.
Young Meachum is in the draft and
is soon to be called to the army. The .
last heard from the couple, the girlf .
was clinging close to the side of her ®
sweetheart, and it is supposed that
they continued their pursuit for an
obliging officer who would issue the
marriage license. ,
Mrs. Jackson returned to Batesville
this morning heart-broken.
