Easier to Get Married Than to Secure Divorce Judge Tells Newlyweds.

The municipal court’s prettiest bride was quietly married late Saturday afternoon in that tribunal by Chief Justice Eugene D. Thomas. Shortly after 3 o’clock, J.M. Hicks, aged 22, of Selma, Ala., and Miss Cora Brown, aged 20, of Paulding county, walked into Judge Thomas’ chambers and asked if they could be united in marriage. Judge Thomas got out the much thumbed Bible and read from the title page the usual court service. At the conclusion, Judge Thomas read a little homily on the worth of the marriage ties. He said: “It takes two judges and two juries and a year’s time to undo what it took me just two minutes to do. Remember that seriously, as you young people step out into life this snowy afternoon.” The groom nodded an emphatic agreement as he grasped the arm of his pretty wife and left the courthouse.
