HOW A YOUNG MAN WON A WIFE.
The Girl Did Not Love Him Until he
Was in Trouble.
From the Atlanta tGd,) Journal


Here is romantic story that smacks of
the olden time.
Mr.. Sanders, the young man so miracu-
lousy rescued from the angry bull, has so
far recovered from his injuries as to lead TO
the altar his modest bride, Miss Maggie
Cabe
The ceremony was performed at Union
chapel, three miles distant from Marietta
A marriage so unaffected and rural in its
appointments rarely greets one in this day
Of show and parade.
The little clapel, decked in natures own
adornments of wild szaleas. violets, dog
wood blossoms and fresh green wood leaves,
was typical of truth Itself.
As faithfully these two young people
plighted their troth, 1t reminded one of the
Isaac and Rebecca union of old, where
love is stronger tie than money, fame or
position.
This is one of the most romantic mar
riages that has ac5urred in Georgia for
some time.
Mr.. Sanders had the misfortune to lose
his arm in a cotton gin a few years ago
He has been living in Marietta for several
years, boarding a part of the time with MIR.
and Mrs. Cabe.
They had pretty daughter, Miss Maggie
Cabe.
Mr.. Sanders fell in love with her and has
been counting her for two years. She has
persistently refuse to marry him, and has
not given him much announcement until
very recently.
Last Sunday week when he was gored
and trampled upon by the angry bull he
was taken to the home of Miss Maggie's
father.
She saw how badly he was hurt, and her
heart relented when she remem bered his de-
votion to her. The next day when her own
brother was brought in half dead from an
attack of the same bull she relented still
further and actually began to love him.
While on his bed of suffering young
Sanders found an opportunity to press his
suit.
What was his Joy to learn that his love
was at last returned, and his recovery was
fastened by promise of marriage.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cabe have objected to their
daughter marrying young Sanders on &C.
count OF his having but one arm.
She did not seem to care for the youn g
man at all until he got hurt, and then she
decided to marry him.
Her parents still objected, but she wa.
determined to do as she wished, and the
marriage, as stated above, took place or
| Sunday.
Charlie has made many friends among
the young men OF Marietta. On account
manner, coupled with his misfortune, he is
| quite a favorite
He was preparing 10-acre field for hi
cotton crop, when he was hurt by the bull.
He was so badly injured that he will moi
be able to work in some time.
Gu Saturday the young men of Marietta
not knowing that he was to be married
met and decided to keep him out of his
trouble by planting his cotton crop fol
| him.
Yesterday morning early quite number
of The boys with plows and cotton planter.
went to Charles farm and in q very shor
time his field was prepared and his cottor
| planted.
Mr. George n. Lester, Jr, sent hanc
and his horse, Mr.. Irwin Lester and Mr.
Rob Lester each took his horse and wen
over to the farm, Mr.. Tom B. Irwin sent
hand with horse, Mr.. Henry Fortne
went over with his horse, and LAST of al
Robbie Nesbitt, the youngest son of Com
missioner Nesbitt, went over with his fin,
! young steer and pillow.
The young men literally raised terrible
dust, and by night the crop was planted
Charlie Sanders is doubtless glad that tn
bull gOred him, for by this means he VOL
his wife and had his cotton planted.
A simple story it is, but a most interest
ing one, the like Of which is seldom hear,
in these times.
