Last Friday a wagon lead Of peo-
pie haulted at the residence of w.
II. II. Fate, a justice of the peace and
our worthy county superintendent
o~tschools, and told him there was a
job for him i'll the line Of tying a
matrimonial knot. The crowd en-
tered his residence and seated them
selves as wiling witnesses of an i'm
portant event in the lives OF two
young folks present. After a few
preliminary questions, from which
the following facts were illictcd, the
young folks were married.
Their bone is in Woodbury. coun-
ty, Iowa, not far from the Dakota
line, The laws Of Iowa require that
the parties marrying shall take out d
license, and this cannot be obtained
without an affidavit on the part Of
some relative or friend, as to the age
Of the bride and free consent Of her
parents. In the case cited the pa
rents Of the young lady bitterly OPP
posed her marriage with the
young man, and as q consequence
ne was unable to procure q license.
But love knows no obstacles or bar
riers. They did not mean to quit
each other for a little thing like a
parents opposition.
So, last Friday morning thoyoung
lady made an excuse to visit neigh
Dor, about a mile distant. On the
way she was met by her lover, when
she got into the wagon and was ia
ken to his home. There his father
and mother and a brother and sister
got into the vehicle, and started to
Dakota 70 G the job properly exe-
cuted.
They tell a pretty tough story Of
the rough treatment received bv the
young woman from her parents and
brothers. For several years she has
nearly supported the entire family,
ana that She gives as a reason for
their efforts to keep her longer at
nome. When she limited that she
would like TO be afflicted with mar
rage, she was treated inhumanly by
her folks, and it is not to be wonder
Ell that she consented to strike for
Dakota, where unyielding parents
are at 4 discount, as they should be.

Last Friday afternoon an affecting
parting scene took place on Main st.,
near the CoUEIER office. During the
day a young married couple walked
the streets, arm in arm, munching
candy nuts, and cake, and seemed 10
be as happy as larks. She would
jerk the scales down to about 225
pounds, and he might possibly
weigh 140. As the time drew near
for the afternoon train their counte-
nances bore traces Of sadness. They
looked meliowly into each others
eyes, with an expression resembling
a funeral service. When the whistle
OF the engine announced the arrival
OF the train, they were standing on
Main street. They wanted to kiss
each other good bye, and thought
the street a poor place for such dem
o~nstrations OF affection, so they step
ped back from the pavement
into the lumber yard. Then the
kissing began. The young man was
no SLOUGH at the business, but She
was too much for him. The second
pass she made at him, she came pref
ty near swallowing his upper story.
They rested halt a second and began
again. The husband came out bad
ly used up, and when he got his
mouth loose it looked as if it had
been in a'cheese press. lie took to
his heels for the depot, leaving his
wife standing on the battle ground.
Tic 225 pounds Of happiness stood
for q moment cycling her ~Fetreating
husband, then calmly remarked to
herself; II like that man 20 well
that Pm afraid I'll swaller him some
day, he, he, no, he, wnoop.3
