John Doe and Mary Roe, whose true names are suppressed, were licensed last ummer to wed, and as the returns of their marriage had never been made to the county clerk, the same appeared in the list of unreturned in the Herald a short time ago. That article was brought to their notice and they then realized they had not had a preacher, thinking that the procuring of a marriage license was sufficient and no ceremony was necessary.

The couple returned to the Clerk’s office only recently and learning that the license was only the state’s consent to a marriage the service was arranged with Justice Collins as the knoL tier and they were made husband and wife. They have been living together since procuring their license and were in ignorance of the marriage ceremony. There can be no doubt of this case being a record breaker of a “common law” marriage, where both were acting in good faith.—Delphi Herald.
