Some time ago a certain gentleman
and lady of this vicinity entered the holy
estate of matrimony but. it appears,
without the sanction of the little blind
God of the bow and arrow, and in short
time the courts were intreated to permit
the mistaken couple to 90 their separate
ways alone. But as it to exemplify the
old saying, "Man never is but always to
be blest," scarcely was the nuptial knot
united before the gentleman sought
again to be bound with the matrimonial
fetters. This time there was all the
romance of an old.fashioned runaway.
The anxious fleeing couple in buggy
urging the fractions steed to its utmost
speed, while not far behind followed
the irate father armed with loaded
gun. just at this interesting period the
horse frightened, plunged and threw
the would-be.bridegroom from the buggy.
He managed, however, to retain his hold
upon the lines and was dragged on by
the frightened horse. Now another
lunge and the buggy was upset, but
righted itself Immediately and the lady
retained her seat. Finally by desper-
ate effort the horse was stopped and the
groom with torn hands and anxious
heart was again seated beside his Dulcina,
and without further mishap they reached
the magistrate and were made one just
as the angry father reached them. It
was with some difficulty that he was
prevented from discharging . volley of
small shot into the brains of the BRIDE
groom, but finally was persuaded to be
content with discharging volley of
words and the happy couple went to
housekeeping in peace and safety. Now
this story to be complete should end
"and they lived happy ever more" But
alas! truth compels us to give the sequel.
