About year ago C. w. Strickland, a
Young farmer, living about SIX miles
southwest of Paris, fell in love with Mis-
Ida Porter, charming young lady OF the
same neighborhood. The lady relatives
objected, but the young folks resolved &c
elope. Mr.. Strickland got IA license, but
the issuance of the license was published
in the papers and before chance came
to use it the relatives of the lady saw il
and sent her away to Missouri.
A few weeks ago she came back. Hel
relatives thought the affair was ended
but the young folks still loved each other
There were some private negotiations OF
which her relatives did not know. An
other license was procured, but the fact
was not published in the papers. The
came minister was engaged again. Miss
Ida Porter, who did not usually pick cot
ton, suddenly became very industrlousiy
inclined, and concluded to help pick out
the crop. She went into the field and
began work. Pretty soon her big brother,
not suspecting anything, went to the gin
with load of cotton, and about the
time he was gone Mr.. Strickland and the
preacher came along, and right i'll the cot
ton patch the ceremony was performed
