LOVE VERSUS LoGK3MITa rs.
Parental Objections 60 for Ma ngh ht
With Miss Liza Scott--Ani-
cably Settled.

Glove laughs at locksmiths, -
is a saying exemplified almost
daily since lovers have plighted
VOWS regardless of parental OBJ
jections. Iron bolts and the most
vigorous wasohfuiness hare PROV
en- "a useless as though they had
been but the delicate fibers of the
spider s web. 1t has always been
thus and we presume will so con-
tinue as long as maiden s love is
given to ehivalrous manhood.
An instance occurred in this
city yesterday. j. II. Davidson
and Miss Lima Scott had vowed
TO wed. The parents Of the young
lady protested. Not TO be outdone
nor foiled in the consummation
of their heart s burning desire
for union of lives and destinies
they plotted some themselves.
The result of the caucus was that
license and a minister were pro-
cured. They repaired thus equip
ped, to the National Hotel where
Rev. S. K. Wasson, by a few
appropriate words, pronounced
them man and wife. This was
not the finale. Mr.. and Mrs. Joe
Scott, the parents of the youth
full bride, were notified of the
marriage and their surprise, not
altogether free from Indignation,
knew no bounds. They hastened
to the hotel and literally cap
tured bride, groom and the
buggy. The father took the horse
by the bit and led the procession
home. After parleying for awhile
it was decided that a repetition
of the ceremony undert the paren-
tai roof with father and mother
as witnesses would heal all differ
ences. This was agreed to and
executed, so now Mr.. and Mrs
Davidson are doubly married.
May their lives be long and
prosperous and full OF happiness
