A PRETTY ROMANCE
Love Grew While Life Was Trembling
in the BaIance-it Began Here.

The marriage of Mr. Turner and Miss
Jones is the elimination Of of the
prettiest romances that has been chron-
icled in the annals Of the State, for it
was at the bed from which he was not
expected to rise that the love that has
made them man and wife has its birth.
Some months ago Mr.. Turner was
brought to the Virginia Hospital with
very malignant case of appendicitis.
He WAS quite a large man. rendering the
operation a very difficult one, and for
days his life hung in the balance Miss
Jones was then a nurse at the hospital
and during the trying hours she was
constantly at his bedside. Her gentle
touch banished the pain and as the SUI
feror gradually grew better he began to
look upon his hours at the hospital as
true of the hours when Miss Jones was
at his bedside.
Going about with quiet steps clad in
her neat uniform it is little wonder that
the lonely bachelor wished to take the
pretty nurse back to his home in Abe
marie, where for forty years he has lived
the life Of a. single man.
Following upon his recovery Mr.. Tur-
ner paid devoted attentions to the nurse
who had attended him SO faithfully while
he was lowering between life and death
and his constancv was rewarded by
requittal of the tender passion that had
taken such a hold upon him.
The marriage in Louisa yesterday adds
another to the long list of romances
that spread halo around every girl
clothed in the nurses uniform.
