Couple At Newland Eloped; No Information About Them.

Miss “Dot” Lucas, the pretty 19-years-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ned Lucas, of Newland, and John Marlon, 27 years of age, left that place Tuesday evening and have not yet returned. There seems every probability that they have eloped and it is presumed that they will return almost any day for the parental blessing. Mr. Lucas is the merchant at Newland, having succeeded Guy Beebe about five months ago. It is understood that he objected to his daughter marrying Marion. Parental non-approval, however, does not accomplish much in a case of true love, and the story of this romance is that Marion had an automobile meet the young lady and himself at the edge of -the village Tuesday evening and that they shaped out so quietly that the objecting father did not discover his daughter’s absence until they were safely on their way to the hymenal altar.
