NUMBER 24
MUTES WED AT CONWAY
Resourcefulness of Pastor En
able Couple to Carry
Out.. Plans.
Conway, Dec. 25.—“Where
there's a will, there’s a way”
was again demonstrated at
the county courthouse last
night when Jack Johnson of
Coiton Plant and Cora Lechy
,of Conway, fell back on their
visual powers and with the
resourceful aid of the Rev. J.
D. Kelly, were married. Both
the groom and bride are de
prived of the gift of speech
and hearing, but with much
thinking on the part of several
court officials the impediments
were overcome and the cere- j
mony was finally consum
mated in a perfectly sound
legal manner.
Mr. Johnson and the bride
appeared at the courthouse at j
a late hour to procure a
license. They called first at
the office of County Agent T.
M. Williams. After several
ineffectual efforts at conver
sation the groom finally re
sorted to pencil and paper and ’
soon found the way to the j
county clerk’s office. He pro-:
cured the license, and by writ-j
ing the word “reverend” let
County Clerk John Reeves
know he wanted a minister.
It was at this point the re
sourcefulness of the Rev. Mr. j
Kelly saved the day.
Three rituals which include
the marriage rites were1
brought by Mr. Kelly. He
underscored the parts which j
the bride and groom should;
repeat, and then read them for j
the benefit of witnesses. I
When he concluded the prin
cipls nodded assent and joined
hands as the ceremony was
concluded. Mr. and Mrs.
Johnson will reside at Cotton
Plant.—Arkansas Gazette,
December, 26.
The groom is a former Mc
Crory boy and has many
friends here who join in ex
tending congratulations.
