Clarksville for years has been a “Gretna Green” for ardent Ken- tucky lovers. That state denies a | girl the right to marry without parenta! consent until she is 21 years old. So the Kentuckians flocked to Clarksville, just across the Tennessee line. The feud between marrying mag- istrates started last Christmas. Squires J. R. Harper, S. W. Kelly, W. B. Corlew and 8. D. Tinsley— Clarksville answers to impatient youth—grew weary of Squire W. H.| Dean’s invasion on their marriage | market. Squire Dean was a retired rural; mail carrier and could play an ad- vantageous open field game with the bridal parties outside the court- house, while the other magistrates were kept busy within. Retaliation of the city magistrates took the form of a notice posted in the county clerk’s office, which stated they would marry all comers free between the hours of 7 am. and 5 pm. during Christmas time. 313 ARE DEAD, PERSIAN FLOOD (Two Thousand Houses Re-' ported to Have Col- lapsed—Others Falling | TEHERAZX, Persla, July 13.—At, least 375 persons have been xilled| and several villages wiped out byJ‘ a flood in the Tabriz district.
