Near the neighborhood of Centre Star in this county three elopements have lately occurred. Two gentlemen named King ran away with two ladies named Curtis, and this example was soon after followed by another happy couple, to-wit: Mr. George Richardson and Miss Rebecca Hindman.
We don’t like to interfere with arrangements of this kind, but we will hereafter insert, weekly, in our paper a paragraph that will hurry up all such transactions, namely; a list of marriage licenses issued during every week. Therefore when a fellow gets his "pair of license’ hereafter he’ll have to be in a hurry if he means to run off with the gal, or the old folks will get wind of the intended elopement. How would it do to publish this weekly list under the head of "Local Business?"

THAT WEDDING -- Both Novel and Romantic. --
Miss Mathena, one Luker was arrested and brought before Esq. Taylor.

The license were sent for, and the Rev. J. W. Whitten, providentially happening along, performed the ceremony amid the cheers of some 200 people, whom the novelty of the affair had attracted.
