TINS holiday week is the happiest OF
the wear because it witnesses the gather
ing in the old home Of many who are
widely scattered during the rest OF the
wear. The boys and girls from college
the prosperous men Of business, and the
women who LEFT the old home years ago
for better or worse are gathered again
and reving old memories. Happy when
all these memories are pleasant. There
is no danger Of cultigating too much
home love. Parents should strive to
make the old home, however humble 1t
may be, the charmed place for all the
boys AMI girls, to which they turn with
sweet memories, no matter where they
may roam. The home is the foundation
stone upon which rests the happiness
and safety OF the people and the per-
petuify Of the Republic

Rev. sam Jones outwItted.


CHArrASoocA, Tenn, Dec. 26.-rhe great
est social sensation that the South has
known ior many years w@ the elopement
Of Anna c. Jones, the seventeen year-old
daughter Of Rev Sam Jones, the noted evan
eelisi. with William NJ Gaharu, sienog-
rapher Of the Cherokee judicial district in
Georgia The couple have been lovers for
two OF three years, but Rev. Jones and his
wife have bitterly opposed the match on
account Of the youth Of their daughter. The
elopement was well planned and executed.
lt was not thought of until Christmas night,
when Professor L. b. Robeson, principal Of
the public schools Of Centerviile. Ga. the
home of the eloping couple and Or J. Z.
Mayes, druggist in the town, with Gra-
ham. arranged the plot.
Miss Jones and young Graham went
horseback riding with a Christmas party,
and, purposely becoming separated from
their companions, rode rapidly 10 Roger
station, where they boarded a train for
Chattanooga, being Joined by Prof Robeson.
Meanwhile Dr. Mayes had come to this city,
procured the license and the services of Rev
Dr. Bachman 10 perform the ceremony.
When the bridal party reached here they
found that in some way their secret had
leaked out, and Rev DR.. Bachman hecom-
ing suspicious declined to perform the cere-
mony.
They then drove to the house Of the Rev.
Or Dumbell, rector of ST. PAurs Episcopal
church, aud giving the young lady's age at
twenty-five years, they succeeded in having
the ceremony performed. They then drove
to hotel, where private wedding supper
had been prepared. The party will return
to Cenierville soon.
The affair has created the most intense
interest here, as Rev. Jones at one time sent
his daughter to school in order 10 break on
the intimacy between her and the man
whom she has just married against his
wishes.
