Young Couple Married Despite Opposition of Bride’s Parents.

John William Critser and Miss Anna Ola McGee, were granted a license by the county clerk Saturday, after the latter had satisfied himself that there were no grounds for a refusal of the license. Critser is the young man who was arrested the other day on the charge of kidnaping Miss McGee, on an affidavit signed by the girl’s mother. He was released when it was shown that there was no grounds for the arrest. The marriage of the young couple took place at the residence of Mrs. Lizzie Guss in the east part of town Saturday evening. Rev. G. H. Clarke, of the Christian church, performed the ceremony. A number of the relatives and friends of the young couple were present at the wedding. After the ceremony they went to the home of the groom’s parents, north of town.
