TO GRETNA GREEN.
Mr.. D. Ward Denton and Miss Re.
gina Russell EIope to Jeffer.
sOnviIIe. Where they We're
Married
AT PRESENT WILL LIVE AT BREEDING.

Mr.. d. Ward Denton, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Lincoln Denton, of Somerset,
who has made his home in Columbia
for several years, manufacturer of
slaves and a dealer in timber, and
Miss Regina Russell, daughter CT DR..
G. M. Russell, eloped, on last Wednes-
day morning, for Jacksonville, Ind.
where they were married some time
durlng.the day, returning to Columbia
Thursday afternoon, taking rooms at
the Hancock Hotel.
The couple have been going togeth-
er for several months and to their
most intimate friends their union
was not surprise, but the journey to
Jacksonville was, as there were no
objections, as we understand upon the
part of DR.. Russell nor upon the part
of Mr.. and Mrs. Denton, who were per-
fectly familiar with the courtship,
the bride having visited the home of
the groom's parents, Somerset.
Since he became a resident of Co.
lumbia, Mr.. Denton has so conducted
himself as to meet the appreciation of
the entire community, and is quite
popular with all the young people.
He is very industrious, possessing ex-
cellent habits and with good health
there is nothing in the way to spre-
vent him from making a happy home.
The bride is young woman who
has many friends, full of life, and at
social gatherings makes every body
feel perfectly contented. She is old
enough, nearly twenty, to know the
responsibilities of the step she has
taken, and there is no doubt but she
will make most loving and devoted
companion.
She and her husband have the best
wishes of the entire News force. Mrs.
Denton has happy way of driving
away blues and this office will miss her
jovial disposition and happy smiles,
which at all times will doubtless be
enjoyed by the young man she has
promised to love and cherish through
life.
For the present the young couple
will reside at Breeding, this county,
where Mr.. Denton is engaged in hav-
ing slaves bucked and dressed.
The Adair County news., 1913-12-31
