Dijke. turned to Atlanta that night on 9j39 train, and a notice of tbe mar riage was printed in the New South of Thursday, which caused a stir in the Fickett household and the follow ing came out in the Atlanta Consti tution of Monday morning. Married—At the Perkins house in this city, Tuesday evening at 8 o,clock, Mr. Yancy L. Sean, of Birmingham, Ala., to Miss Mattie J. Fickett, of At lanta, Ga., Rev. D. J. Myrick officiating. The above notice appeared in the last week’s issue of the Douglasville New South and is the sequel to a pretty and romantic love affair. ’Tis the old story retold of two 3’oung people who, with fear of paren tal objection in their hearts, hie away to a neighboring village and secretly take the marital, vows. For quite a while Mr. Yancey L. Senn, who is a prominent young man in Birmingham, Ala., hag paid marked attention to Miss Mattie J. Fickett, a pretty young lady who lives with her parents at 61 Haden street, this city. She is the daughter of of Mr. R. H. Fickett, the well-known business man who is connected with the Atlanta Pa per Company, • Mr. Senn frequently came from Birmingham to visit the young lady, and gradually the mutual friendship developed into an affection of a more serious nature. As a result the two young people became engaged, but not a word was said to an/ one. Last Tuesday Mr. Senn came over as usual, and made his way to the Fickett residence. He was happily met by the young lady, but the stay at the house was short. The din and noise of the street without were not in accordance with their feelings. Ap parently their hearts’ desire was to trip together oyer wooded hills and talk! of the future midst scenes akin to'the air castles no doubt they had ofteh built. Word was left that they were going out (near Decatur. Bu„ it has developed that the young peojple changed their minds. Instead of going to Decatur, they went to the union depot and boarded the Southern train for Douglasville. (j)n reaching Douglasville the young coujple went to the Perkins house. Here Miss Fickett remained while th happy groom sought the ordinary o Douglas county and procured a marl riage license. Returning toThe hote* Mr . Senn stopped at Rev. D. J. MyC ick’s and closed a contract with tie reverend gentleman by which he was to come to the hotel and peform fhe ceremony. pP|pip Y’!i They Keep .It a Secret^d^ Returning to AUantajuire young couple went to the homt/nfj|S5EB3 parents, but, according to the prear ranged plan, nothing was said of their marriage. In the af ternoon Mr. Senn leturned to Birmingham without his bride, In the meantime the young couple’s secret became known in the little vil lage of Douglasville, and a notice ap peared in the local newspaper, The New South, last week. The notice greatly interested Mr. Theo Calloway, private secretary to United States District Attorney Joe James. It seems that Mr. Calloway is a warm friend of the Fickett fami ly, He called at the Fiekett residence last night and sprung a sensation when he asked about the marriage. The young lady appeared much sur prised, and denied that she was mar ried. , ^Father Fickett became inter ested at this stage of the game, and started on an investigating tour. He asked Mr. Galloway to produce the clipping, whereupon the latter gentle man went to his office and scured a copy of the paper and returned. When the notice had been read the young lady confessed, and through smiles and sobs received the usual parental forgivness. —■‘■Ijfr-WftB ■■■thc4ot8B&BB--Qf the 3’Oqng people to keep the marriage a secret until Easter-fiut as the whole story fGEORGIA IN BRIEF.
