Wctr Again Meet, and Are Happily
Married Their Faces Unseen by Each
' Other for Sevn Years A Story cf
ThiHrLivt!
Not often does lfa have, such ft
story to portray s nw to be
,. seen by Mr. and Airs. 1 M Weir,
Vhp are now' residents of Con
-
.c(5rd, having arrived herd last
Saturday night. Here is an ac
. count of theft lives during th'e
last nine years: ..
Nine years agQ our tQWrisman,
Mr. II M Weir, attempted to wed
.Miss -Ida NowU', beajitfful
youn Jady''hpse" hp;pe was at
. Thompson's Mill, .a .'small place
in Georgia. Both, -were dtter:
. 'mined, but -the. family of- the
' bride was opposed. Tneir first.
" , attempt ; was, fruitless, but the
. second one. was effectual when
'she': went' to ctmrch. tuid was at
teiiwards marified to the one he
loved, . .".
For. a short while'all was quiet
" -and. no trouble resulted,-. but ero
. long it was found. lhat life .was
t riot pleasant, All .was dove .and
.' peace 'yitfi "the coupie, but:-the
bride's family continually heaped
coals of bitterness arid avenge oli
the fire.. Not' for; seven years
did he ' . eret . to . see ' his
' . w'ife'ahy more .until last Friday
,. night in the Arlington "hotel at
; Gainesville, Ga"', where-they met
and vere again happily married
.' This, marriage was a complete
surprise to her, folks.; '
' .The bride's relatives secured a
divorce for the lady. . The' di
. vo'r6o was granted according to
the law. on account of their- sepa-'
'", ration two years; J3y this divorce
both' were,, divorced, ' and Mr.
Weir receiyed. his notice tpat
;judgnlcnt' had been granted each.
. Then. neither -was married, hence
the. necessity ol again marry iig
, 'last Friday; night. 'Not in 'seven
' years Had Mr. Weir seen his littlcf
soa who" has all this timo been
; living with 'its mother and who,
. " "cami' vi'thjits father and mother
hpre last 3atm;day night'.
-Thus ends the life' of ' separa1
. tion with" these two persons,, re-
aultingm tbo second joining of
loveia tie to now live, it is hpped,
a-hsppy life fill 5d not. with strife

though his 'old master died - and
the 'farm' fell to. an heir, .Mrs. P

racial distinctions: .. . ' .
He was content to live within;
