Thursday night a couple called on Rev. B.L. Ross at his residence and asked to be married instanter, as the brides parents seriously objected. The groom produced a license issued by O.P. Wright, Ordinary of Crawford County, authorizing the marriage of Mr. Murcherson and Miss Burnett. They were accompanied by Mr. J. Bryon Hall, of the Harris house, who said the couple had just arrived on the Atlanta and Florida train and were in a hurry to marry. Dr. Ross invited them in but they refused, saying they were just from a mask ball and had on their costumes, and as Mr. Hall was with them Dr. Ross proceeded to perform the ceremony in the dark. After assuring himself that the contracting parties were of legal age the ceremony was performed in the clergymans usual solemn manner and at the conclusion he pronounced Gods blessing upon them, grasping their clasped hands pronounced them man and wife. As the couple took their departure the groom told Dr. Ross to call at the hotel in the morning, and he would be handed a present by Mr. Hall, the clerk. Things were quiet all day Friday, and very few knew of the Gretna Green affair, but yesterday morning when it became known that the parties to the affair were Mr. W.H. Harris and Miss Phosa Skellie, excitement ran high, as Dr. Ross pronounced the marriage legal, as the ceremony was performed in good faith, and that the courts would have to undo the matter, as they let the matter go so far. Many of our best informed citizens are of the same opinion, and the young couple are in great trouble over their adventure. The license too, was a forgery, and the young man who executed it thinks of departing. Such excitement was never created here in society circles before, and the matter is not ended, and the friends of the parties anticipate trouble for them before the excitement of their adventure just for fun dies away.

Lora PML is a service from Rootsweb that will pass on information on preferred subjects. I don't think it is available any longer, but it is great because I can pass things to the Houston County list which we might not see otherwise. BTW, I will be adding some photos to the web page over the next day or two and so if anyone has other information for the Houston County Webpage, please send it in.
