Up HAPPY COUPLE
LOCAL SQUIRE MAKES RUNAWAY
PAIR FROM PULASKI ONE
SATURDAY NIGHT.

Quite an exciting marriage took
place Saturday evening about $50
o'clock. H. H. Elan, son of Will
Elan, a prominent farmer near Fly's
store, has been in Pulaski for the
past few weeks at school. While
there he met the lady Of his choice,
Miss Gertrude Dunivant, and won her
heart. However, her parents did not
take>so kindly to the proposed match,
as the young lady was only eighteen
They could not stay apart longer
though, and so on Saturday they de-
cided to get married. Knowing that
it would be impossible at home,
where they would be intercepted by
their parents, they made their plans
to come to Columbia on No. 2. How
ever, the irate parents got so close
on their trail that they had to aban'
don the trip on the train, and instead
rented an automobile to bring them
through the country. Their ruse was
successful, and after hasty trip
they arrived in Columbia about $3.50
and went Immediately to the home
of Brooks Hight, where they were
made man and wife by Esq. Alexan
der.
Mr.. and Mrs. Elan are today re
ceiving the congratulations of their
friends.

HAS BEEN AT LAST RE.
WARDED.
Sire NOW ON TROTTING RECORD
Number 01s72 Will Be the Certificate
That Will Prove the Fine Breeding
Of Animal That Has Reflected GIo-

Walter Direct 2:O5A, standard and
registered number O1972, registered
in the American Trotting Register,
1914 Volume. Such is the announce
ment made today by Chaffin Bros,
owners of the famous pacing horse,
a product of Maury county, and, all
things considered, the successor to
the famous Brown Hal, the king of
all pacing sires. For more than ten
years the powers that be in the reg
istration of the American trotters
and PAGERS, have withheld from Wal
ter Direct, the numerical sybol, which
signifies breeding Of merit, and lin.
cage of established verify. 1t has
been patient, long hard fight that
Chaffin Bros have made for this
grand race horse and wonderful pro-
genitor of speed at the pace, and the
recognition just received by these
Columbia horsemen and co-partners
in ownership with this country's
greatest horseman, Edward F. Geers
from the American Trotting Register
Association, whose authority stretch
es all around the world, is a matter
of congratulation from the horse
world. While the racing summaries
revealed the prowess of the get Of
Walter Direct, the absence of the
certification of the Trotting Register
Association, placed this great horse
just beyond the pale Of official pedi
grees. However, "01972," Is the nu
neral that gives to Walter Direct his
proper prestige in the breeding world
1t will be good news to the owners
of sons and daughters of this Maury
county horse, that the standard now
records him. Intrinsically not a ma
terial value, but of undoubted bene
fit in the breeding, and the perfec
ton of the great family or tribe O.
PAGERS.
! Walter Direct Is now at South Sid,
Park, and on the door of his stabl,
his owners will inscribe these mum
bers "01972," which will carry tn,
news that this Maury county hors,
has, in addition to his wonderful &C
compIishments on the track and II
the stud, met every requirement ex
acted and demanded by the nationa
Organization which is establishing
removed from all guesswork, ant
doubt, the pedigree for four and NOR
generations Of the harness horse o
American.
1t may not be amiss to state her
that Walter Direct, now thirteel
years old, is the only living sire o
PAGERS in the world that is the sir
Of seven PAGERS with records bette
than 2:10 at that age.
This great horse has added to tn
wealth Of Maury county in its breed
ing interests, and volume could b
written, supported by the records
showing an almost matchless career
