professed to work stood huge lamp

through the shade to create a circle of
golden brilliance over a radius that
extended but little beyond the edge
of the table, yet reached to the benign
countenance Of Buddha close by.

ST. CLAIR COUPLE USE BIRMINGHAM AS GRETNA GREEN J. R. Hardin and Miss Carrie Lorraine Nail Married
 Here at Empire
 Hotel

| R. Hardin and Miss Carrie Lorraine
 Nail furnished in Birmingham last night another bit of evidence tending to prove that love laughs at locksmits and others
 who would restrain the gentle impulse.
 The young people, in other words, were
 the principals in a Gretna Green affair
 which had it's origin in St. Clair county, and it's termination in the parlor of the
 Empire hotel. this city. Rev. Dr. A. J.
 Dickinson performed the ceremony.
 From the story told by the happy cou- pie following the ceremony, 1t seems that the father of the bride, c. R. Nail or Pranchvile, had stated objection to the attentions which the groom desired to
 pay his daughter and followed his re-
 marks by rather strong suggestion that the young man refrain from visiting his home But Mir. Hardin, who lived just a stone throw away in Odenville, was no so easily to be suppressed As mat ter of record, he managed to keep in com munication with his sweetheart, and as | a result yesterday produced the oppor- tunity for which he had been for some time wanting. Mir Nail had business out
 of town, the young couple boarded the train to Birmingham, and, as told, the
 knot was tied.
 l Mr Hardin said last night that he l could not forecast what his father-in- law would do as result of the surprise which will soon be his Mrs. Hardin however, with a typical bride smile, ven- | tured the assertion that all would be well. | Irrespective of what developments might be the young couple were exceedingly | happy while talking with reporters n l The Age Herald office, so happy, as a | matter of fact. that 1t would be an ex- I traordinariy stern parental objection which could long endure against them. l The bride Is a cousin of J. E. Nail, a well known young man of Birmingham who accompanied them on their visit to
 The Age Herald, and predicted that no unpleasant atmosphere would long exist l back home'
