SOUTH BOSTON, VA, December 10
Mr. Burton. of Scottsburg, and Miss
Henderson, of News Jerry, were married
Wednesday at Houston. This is the con-
ciusion Of a very amusing comedy OF
errors,'' which began in South Boston
Sunday evening. The young couple did
uot wish to go to the Formally of OBJ
tanning parental consent, 50 decided 10
elope to South Boston and be married
without so much red tape. Going to the
home of Mr.. Thomas Easey, the coun-
ty clerk, the applied for a license but
were told that none could be issued on
Sunday. WhereupOn he was asked to SIT
up until after u O'Clock so as to issue
one. This he agreed to do, and the cou-
pie, accompanied by several friends OF
both sexes, repaired 70 the Methodist
Church, where they quietly seated them
selves to listen to the sermon. Their de-
votionS were of short duration. for the
father, who had not been consulted about
the marriage, had set out in hot pursuit
as soon as the absence of his daughter
was noticed. He entered the church. took
his daughter by the hand and led her
out. then the rest of the party silently
filed out behind him.
Monday morning. father and daughter
started for home on the train. but, while
her father was being entertained by some
ore else, as she thought, the would-ba
bride jumped from the car and tried to
make her escape by getting into buggy
which the friends of the couple had pro-
.-ided and in which they hoped to drive
over to North Carolina. The old man was
too clever for her, however, and recap
tured her. 50 home they went. and after
waiting a few days longer the consent
OF the parents was obtained.
It Is understood that there was no OBJ
lection to the marrige. but the parents
thought it was due them that they should
first be consulted. The antics of this
uatrimonially inclined couple caused
much amusement in the church Sunday
night and at the depot Monday morning.
where they were the center of a large
and curious crowd.
