Shiloh the battalion became a regi

Kelley, Lieutenant Colonel, which po
sitions were held until towards the
close of the second year of the war
being all the while mess-mates.
Failing health sent DIR. Kelley tc
Huntsville on sick leave, but recov
ering his health he reported again for
duty, after rejoining Forrest, being
with him in all his later battles, and
surrendering with him at Gainesville,
Ala, at the close of the war.
The staunchest friendship ever ex-
listed between the two, 80 unlike, and
yet perhaps, after all, so alike in those
strong, fearless characteristics of the
brave man.
DR.. Kelley has for seven years held
the position of Commander of For
rests Veteran Cavalry Corps, and is
regarded as the best and clearest au-
thority upon the character of the
great Confederate General.

A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.

The marriage of Miss Mollie Hale
to Ollie Davis at Little Rock, by Dr.
Christian at the Second Baptist
Church Tuesday, Jan. 2, was bit of
news that electrified Osceola society
Tuesday morning of this week.
During the holidays Miss Mollie,
who is a charming girl just turned
sweet 16, was at home for the Christ
mas vacation, and it also happened
] that Ollie Davis, who has a number
I of relatives and a wide circle of
friends here came to Osceola to spend
the festal season. A continuous
round of social gatherings, which
threw the young people in the same
circle, and gave Cupid a chance to
draw his fateful bow In the rush of
events their most intimate friends
were unsuspecting of what was TAN
ing place.
Whether by chance or appointment
Mr. Davis met the party of Ouachita
College students in Memphis, and
went with them over to Little Rock,
when the lovers managed to separate
themselves from Charles Hale, an old
er brother of the intended bride, and
others of the party, and quickly secur-
ed the license and presenting them
selves to the minister were made hus-
band and wife, rejoining the party at
the home of a friend so soon that not
a suspicion was aroused.
When the train left Little Rock in
the evening, the young bride with the
secret of her marriage vow locked in
her own bosom was among the stu
dents bound for Ouaehita College,
while the groom who is a travelling
salesman for the Corbitt Iron Works,
st. Louis, left for his territory intend
ing to keep their marriage a secret
till the June vacation. But there was
"a chile among them taking notes,
and faith he published EN-" A notice
of the marriage license being issued
was reported in the papers, and
friends seeing it began investigations,
which disclosed their secret and re-
suited in the usual tableaux of dis
tressed and angry parents, parental
blessing, in the old fashioned way.
There could be no serious objection
to this marriage, excepting the youth

a young man of exemplary habits and
