! TENDER the Georgia Communicates will be

for the hills. He pursued, but the race
was too swift, and neither was caught or
identified.

Rome Courier: The young people OF
| FOrrestville have been all agog for the
past several days over the report Of the
| romantic marriage of two of its popular
young people. The report, unlike many
that gains circulation, has been found to
be true, and on Sunday evening. the 18th
inst, Mr.. T. B. Breach. tine young Mayor,
was married to Miss Hattie Trammell.
Rev. j. w. Gillian officiating. On
| the evening mentioned above Mr..
! Breach went to fill an engage
ment with Miss Trammeil, presum-
| ably for church, but which has turned
out for longer time. Between the youn Z
lady's house and the church was the resi-
dence of a minister. Here they entered
and before they left again solemn mar
riage vows were made. The young lady
was carried to church and afterwards es-
corted homo, where she was left by her
| husband. SO profoundly secret was the
affair kept that the young men OF Forrest
| Vile continued to pay tribute at loves
| shrine, and perhaps before this accou mt
of the secret marriage is read there will
he more than one broken-hearted young
man,
