A Romantic Story.

AChattanooga (Tenn. dispatch says
a romantic story in real life was made
known Tuesday by the arrival in that
city of Mrs. cambridge Harrison
from New Mexico to visit relatives.
Two years ago Mrs. Harrison, then
Miss Childress, was teaching school
on Sand mountain, Ga, and she be-
came the object OF the affections OF
one OF her older pupils, Jim Majors,
who, failing TO have his affections re-
ciprocated, began to circulate injur-
ious stories concerning her character.
Miss Childress procured shotgun,
and, hunting him up, demanded re-
traction, which he made in the most
abject terms The facts were pub
lished at the time and attracted the
attention Of wealthy mine owner In
New Mexico, who wrote 10 her asking
her to correspond with him. She
paid no attention TO the letter, as she
received hundreds OF letters at tho
time from all parts Of the country,
but after 4 few weeks, for some reason
unknown TO herself, as she states, she
answered this letter, and the result
was correspondence which has now
eliminated in her happy marriage.
Mr.. Harrison, the successful suitor, is
the owner of valuable mining proper
~, and the brave young school
teacher returns wealthy lady.
