Thurs day’s Chattanooga Times thus tells the tale: “’Squire Manning was called on to tie the knot in a rather romantic marriage which ' occurred last night at the residence of G. M. Langston, 332 Poplar street. It ap pears that Mr. Langston’s son, XV. N. Langston, enlisted in Co. E, 3d Ten nessee, last summer, and after being mustered out he went to Dalton, Ga., where he secured a position with the Showalter Printing company. XVhile in Dalton he met, fell in love with and became engaged to Miss Nannie May Pery, daughter of Robert Perry, a miller of that town. The parents, however, opposed the match, as a result of which the two decided on an elopement, which occurred last night. Before leaving Dalton young Langston wired ’Squire Manning to secure the license, and when the two arrived at 8:45 last night they found everything in readiness, and were married by Justice Manning at the residence of Langston’s father at 9 o’clock. The young couple will make this city their home.” Mrs. Langston is the well-known and popular daughter of Robert Perry, the well-known brick-mason. The couple left Dalton by the 8:15 XVes tern & Atlantic train XVednesday night. Their many Dalton friends extend congratulations. Just received a carload of empty syrup barrels.
