A young man from Florida was visiting his sMer in the camp, who was married to a gypsy. There the young man met one of the fair damsels with the mutual heart he had been looking for, and it was a case of love at first sight it seemed.

The )oung man secured a machine and the ardent lovers were met in Greensboro and hurried toward Demon and ihe Clerk's office lo get a license. At Ihe office the statement about the young lady's age was quite clear, and the license could not be secured, and the young folks concluded to go to Delaware. But, alas, the course of true love never runs smooth, and the couple was stopped by the bad roads some distance beyond Andersontown.and the heartless driver of the machine put them out, to elude as best they could the bride's irate father, in pursuit The angry pursuers finally overtook the pair, ana after a parley, brought them back to camp. At the camp four of the fair one's brothers attacked the young man and proceeded to beat him up, bruising his face badly 'and 6reakmg his nose. on a sound financial basis should take the responsibilit) of seeing that there is a sufficient attendance at these meetings to guarantee the formation of units of the Association at the above respective shipping stations Charles E.
