THE VALDOSTA TI
IARRIED AT THE
COURT HOUSE.
Surprise Their Friends Here.
piss Kathleen M. Fry and Mr. W. L.
Gleason United in Marriage by Or
dinary A. V. Simms, in His Office
at the Court House—Bride's Broth-
er-in-Law Tried to Stop the Mar-
^triage. *
(From Thursday’s Daily.)
The romantic marriage of Miss
Katherine M. Fry and Mr. \V. L.
Gleason at the Ordinary’s office 1.1
•the court house yesterday afternoon
■was a distinct 1 surprise to the family
and friends of the contracting par
ses.
Cupid, the saucy little god, with
and arrows Swung ov6f his
jfooulder has a way >>f doing things
his own sweet, high-handed man
Iner, and in this case made no de
parture from his usual high-wayman'
ish tactics.
The marriage ceremony was per
formed by Ordinary A. V. Simms,
In his office at 6:15 o'clock yesterday
■evening. A few minutes before that
time Mr. Simms was approached by
a good looking stranger who told
the Ordinary that he wanted a mar
riage license and requested Mr.
Simms to remain in his office until
he could go out and get the young
lady who was to be his bride. • The
news leaked out, and in a few min
utes three or four gentlemen across
the street, who had heard of it saun'
tered over to the court house to
witness the affair. Mr. Gleason re
turned in a few minutes accompa
nied by Miss Fry, and the Ordinary j
at once began the ceremony.
Some excitement was caused at j
this stage by the appearance on the !
scene of Mr. L. A. Palmer, a broth' j
er-in-law of the bride, who sought I
to prevent the marriage. He explain- j
ed to Mr. Simms that Miss Fry was i
visiting his nouse and under hisj
charge, and that her mother in Sa
vannah knew nothing of the propos*
ed marriage. He was forced to ad
mit, however, that he had no legal
reason for preventing it. The Ordi*
nary then said the few words which
united the lives of the young couple’
Jtatfr. Palmer accepted the inevitable
with good grace, and was reatfcr with
Jils congratulations, along with one
pbr two other frdends present.
\ Miss Fry who is a sister of Mrs.
Jl/v A. Palmer, has been visiting the
latter here for about two weeks,
coining over from Thomasville, where
she has recently spent some time
with another sister. She came up
town yesterday afternoon accompa’
nied by Mrs. Palmer, but left the
latter and meeting Mr. Gleason got
in a cab and hurried over to the
court house. The latter had remark
ed to a friend or two, that he was
going to get married, but they con
sidered it a Joke.
Miss Fry is an unusually pretty
and highly accomplished young la
dy. She is a grand-daughter of the
late Captain S. J. Whitesides, a
wealthy and prominent citizen of
the Forest City.
Mr. Gleason, whose home is also
in Savannah, first met his bride in
this city several months ago. He is
a member of a prominent Savannah
family, and represents
lumber firm on the road.
The couple left this morning
their future home in Savannah.

Short Weights n Guano.
A farmer from Brooks county was
in the city yesterday and called at
The Times office to nay that short-
weights In guano are being put upon
the market In his county. He says
that he weighed a ton or so that
he bought recently and found the
sacks weighed only about 165 pounds
when they should weigh 200. He
thinks that farmers would do well
to weigh their guano and make deal
ers give the amount they pretended
to sell.
Horse With a Mustache.
The horse which pulls Mr. J. M.
Carroll’s delivery wagon wears a
mustache as thick and heavy as
that worn by any man In town. It
curls over the animal’s mouth like
a man’s mustache, sMghtly parted
In the middle. If the bunch of nalr
was on the horse’s underllp InriiiJ
cf the over lip It would make tne
aulmal look very much like a big
goat.
Money is Very Plentiful.
Woodward was talking this
morning about how plentiful money
Is in this section and how hard It Is
leading j to loan It. “Our firm has $10,000
of local money which we have been
trying to loan in small or la-ge
amounts, but borrowers appear to be
very scarce. W might make ciiolca
loans at seven per cent if any bedy
wants that kind of money. We take
the conditions to mean that the peo
ple have plenty of money, as In oth
er days we would have had plenty
of calls for money at the terms we
have been offering.
