ELOPERS KNEW ABOUT MACON'S FEELESS
J. P
Judge McKervey's Fame Has Gone Along the
Highways and Byways Bringing Many Into the Matrimonial Fold.
Marrying a couple in a buggy, and
a runaway match at that, was the experience of Judge Hugh McKervey Saturday
afternoon.
The judge, whose fame as a feeless
justice of the peace has traveled far, was busy compounding a prescription
when a buggy stopped in front of McCrary's drug store in East Macon. Red
Rice, whose whole life consists of thre things, going to school in
the morning, jerking soda in the afternoon, and believing Judge McKervey
the best man on earth all the time, and one of the brightest boys on the
east side of the river, saw at once that the couple in the buggy were not
only anxious to get married, but were in a hurry. Fact is, as was later
developed, the young man had slipped away from a farm in Jones county,
and the young lady had slipped away from her parents in Twiggs, and had
come to town to be married.
The judge laid aside his spatula,
tumbled some freshly-rolled pills in a box, gathered his code of Georgia
and went out to the buggy. Then he married Richard D. Stewart, of
Jones county to Miss
Sallie E. Jackson, of Twiggs county, and wished them luck. The newly-weds
drove over to the west side apparently very happy.
