     For some time, Mr. S. B. Cruse and Miss Susan Edwards, living in the Caruth neighborhood, have been matrimonially inclined, but there was objection on the part of Miss Edwards' family, and the marriage was postponed in the hope of gaining the old folks over.
     But, the old folks, proving a little more obstinate than the young couple thought they ought to be, they concluded to wait no longer. So, at noon yesterday, Miss Edwards left home under pretense of visiting a neighbor. Mr. Cruse was waiting at the turn of the lane with his buggy, and, as soon as she got in, a friend on horseback started in a run for Dallas in order to get the license and justice of the peace ready by the time the couple arrived, as it was pretty certain that they would not be gone long before the old folks would hear of the elopement and give chase.
     There is no telephone out in the country, but the couple had not been gone half an hour before Miss Edwards' father and mother were in a buggy camping on their trail.
     The young man who came in advance did the requisite amount of swearing in order to get the license, and got Justice Lauderdale down on the street in front of his office, just as the couple drove up.
     "Get up in the buggy, Judge, so you can finish up as we are driving if necessary, for the old folks are right after us," said Mr. Cruse.
     Judge Lauderdale did as requested, and right in the middle of the ceremony, the old folks drove down Commerce street, without looking up Jefferson, and therefore did not catch on until Judge Lauderdale had clinched the ceremony by saying: "What God has joined together, let no man put asunder."
