long been sweethearts, and year ago
expressed a desire to wed
Papa Eason opposed. and when there
was talk of defying parental authority
Raines was forbid coming to the house.
This, however, only added fuel to the

Old Man Eason found it necessary to
warn registrars of deeds in johnson and
surrounding counties not to issue
license.
Thus further proceedings were post
poned but not stopped, for month

away and came to Raleigh. Arrived
here, they saw no necessity for hurry.
