riage which smacked of romance occurred here last night. Miss Tabor Cooper, the young daughter of MT. and Mrs John w Cooper was married to Dr. w. $. Sims of New Orleans. The young couple had never seen each other but twice, and until yesterday afternoon had no idea of getting married They took a drive and concluded that a speedy marriage was es- sential to their happiness, so they applied to the clerk in the probate office for mar riage license, but on account of the youth of the young lady the clerk refused to issue the license without the consent of the father of the bride. Such consent was finally procured so the young couple re- paired to the office of the judge of pro- bate to be married. Very few persons were present and on account of parental unwilllngness the marriage took place in the probate office, the ceremony being performed by Miss Medora Carraway smith, chief clerk in the office of judSe of probae of Bibb county Miss Cooper js a young lady of rare beauty and had num- erous admirers. The happy couple left on the early morning train for extended bridal trip. ' "t
