| Ii Is Offer the case when two young anS
ardent hearts desire to wed, parents forget
ting thai they too were once young from
real or fincled causes, proceed to- raise OBJ
! jections because, in their Judgment, the
unIon Is unwise aud therefore should he
Impracticabe Nine times out of ten. how
ever instead of preventing, such course
only hastrns the denOument and he SEQUEL
will be wedding IN spite of the heard
hearted ard Obdurate I'D folks.
The BAzOo has case in hand which, ir
measure comes 10 the front as an illus-
traripn nf the above. and L. as follows:
Miss Lena Kingsb ~ is the daughter OF
the late DR. KingshuIy Of Franklin, How
ard county, Missouri, who was, previous to
his death, a wealthy, aristOcralic and much
respected ciGz-n The family mGved in
The highest circles of society. List fall
Miss Lena kIngsbury, who is a charming
young lady with bright dark eyes and raven
hair which she wears fashionsbly banged"
and whose costly atlir edeno'es that in ey-
erything wealth was showered upon her,
was sent To Howard female college 10 p.r-
feet her education.
Study, however. was irksome TO her and
tIc uuIi IOtJHc OI SCHOOL lie Hdu no cn3rm
and the reason may BE- briefly explained.
j. b. Bell, young grocery merchant OF
Fayette, had succeeded in awakening an al
tachment III the heart OF the fair Lena and
was IN constant correspondence
with her OF course this was carried on
cland"sinely as the rules Of the school
strictly forbid anything of the
kind. The lynx-eyed preceptress
mIS'rusted that all was not right, and OF
course as she was for he time being the
custodian Of tn young lady-so made by
Miss Lena's mO,her-she intercepted the
correspondence, and the result that would
have followed would have been expulsior
from the school.
In order to avert this disgrace Miss Lens
and her lover, Mr.. b. Bell, eloped Fri
day night, the 9Th inst, and fed TO the In
iian Territory. Saturday morning they
were married at Eufala by Rev. W. p
Blake, and were about 10 start on an eI-
tensive wedding tour through Texas. when
Mrs kingsbury telegraphed "Come home
my darling children; your mother
is ILL.," This was enough, and yes
terday morning they arrived in Sc
dalIa en- route to Franklin, where Belps
mOiher in law will no doubt greet her chill
drer in maternal good taste by receiving
them with Outs'retched arms, and looking
as pleased as a basket of chips before the
fire is kindled.
Mr. Bell il understood to be a very pros
porous grOceryman, aged about twenty-five,
but CT mparaiively poor. Mrs. Bell is just
past seventeen, and said to be worth fne
property.
Tasen altogether matters could be much
sors", and it Is the earnest hope of the
BAzOo that the fond mother in law will not
mop stiff legged" at the situation of affairs.
or she doubtless "knows how it is herself"
and in affairs OF the heart there can be no
restraint.
