Love Laughs at Locksmiths.

Cupid Cuts Many Capers and Gives Parents the Ha Ha.

   As was hinted at in last week's Citizen another series of Gretna Greens took place since last we went to press. 

   Judge Bogle has issued License to several parties, who lost no time to avail themselves of the opportunities expressed in his commissions. 

   Sunday afternoon the W. & A. train coming down from Chattanooga brought "two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one"--Mr. Will Dilbeck and Miss Alice Langston who gave the parents of the bride the grand oriental shake, and accompanied by Messrs. Pritchett and C. H. West drove hastily over to Judge Bogle, who furnished the license and tied the Gordian knot. The bride is sister to Mr. Langston, who married Miss Nancy Perry Wednesday night.

   Sam Finley and Miss Mae Moulton came next, and at 9 o'clock Sunday night sought the kindly offices of Judge Bogle, who endowed them with the holy bonds of matrimony. 

   Walter Springfield went down to Lindale Sunday and married Miss Carrie Phillips. 

   Last Friday night Mr. R. W. Manning married Miss Florence Wilson in North Dalton, Rev. J. V. M. Morris performing the ceremony. It was a week of marriage and giving in marriage, and reminded the scribe of Hellena's couplet in Midsummer Nights Dream: 

 "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; 

  And therefore is wing'd cupid painted blind."
