seems never to eXhauSte his culver
of arrows, and human hearts are as
open to his craftsmanship as In
days of yore. Time passes and con-
ditions change but the old, old story
remains eternally the same as long
as love is supreme.
J. Headly Doan was married yes
terday afternoon.
1t was about O'Clock in the after
noon when couple presented them
selves to Squire Guthrie at his Of
fee on Madison street. The pair
were DESTROYS of being married.
They were noticeably nervous and
the squire became Immediately
aware of the fact that they were a
runaway pair. He asked for the
license and the paper was given to
him which told that he was to unite
in matrimony J. Headley Doan and
Miss Daisy Moore.
Before the ceremony which was
to make them one was begun, the
young couple asked Justice Guthrie
to repair with them 20 the Office of
B. Harris Motley and Squire Guth-
RE acceded to their wishes. Mr..
Motley is young lawyer and is a
friend of the groom.
The young lady seemed timid
and shrank from the ordeal of a
ceremony in open court.
Mr.. Motley made no objection
to the use of his office as an altar.
The ceremony was brief.
1t developed after the wedding
that the bride is daughter of j. L.
Moore, of Vildo, Hardeman Coun-
ty. She had become acquainted
with Mr.. Doan about eight months
ago. At that time Doan was SEEM
ingly a happy Benedict, having
been married some time previous 10
a Miss Madge Passmore, daughter
of w. II. Passmore of this city.
But their journey of life started
on a troublous sea. This match
had been runaway affair to which
Mr.. and Mrs. Passmore both
strenuously objected. The couple
encountered many sorrows and vex-
atoms. Mrs. Doan besought the
court to dissolve the matrimonial
bonds. She complained that the
yoke had become too heavy to bear.
The court listened with an attentive
ear to her plea and the union was
dissolved leaving both the young
people heart whole and fancy free.
Soon after this Doan renewed his
acquaintance with Miss Moore.
Again young Doan encountered
parental objection. But love, as
usual, found its way. After brief
courtship the couple secretly engag-
ed themselves.
Sunday morning Miss Moore ar
rived in Memphis ostensibly to visit
friends here. She registered at the
CASTOR, Mr.. Doan was expecting his
future bride, and a short time after
her arrival the two were again re-
united. Fearing that her parents
would become aware of her inten-
tions and make an attempt to stop
the approaching nuptials the young
lady assumed name which she
wrote on the resister of the hotel.
Yesterday morning Doan secured
the license and the young peoples
wishes were carried to their COM
plete fruition without any opposi-
ton.
A short time after the wedding
had been solemnized reporter for
the Commercial Appeal called at
Gaston's where the young couple
had engaged apartments. Mr.. Doan
was not present, but the young
bride was Willing away the first
few blissf al hours of her honeymoon
in the parlor.
She is very pretty young wo-
man, not exceeding 10 years, quiet
and dignifed.
She told rather timidly how she
had come to Memphis, her parents
that she was visiting
friends. She said that she feared
80 much all day Sunday that her
father would be warned of her in.

The match that she did not leave
Ter room. Her fears were not
grounds so she relates.
For on yesterday morning she had
zone out to see her friends who live
IN the East End car line. She was

noticed her father and brother on a
