A Runaway Marriage.
Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Austin had quite a little surpirse game worked on them last night. Miss Panthia Griffin, of Monroe, sister of Mrs. Austin, has been visiting there for some time, and Mr. R. J. Fletcher, her old sweetheart, had been deprived of seeing her.
But last night, Mr. and Mrs. Austin went to the music recital, leaving Miss Griffin at home. Soon after they had taken their leave Mr. Fletcher called at the house and secured his sweetheart, her trunk and other belongings and skipped. They soon appeared before Rev. Dr. Creasy and were married, and left on the Carolina Central train at 9:45 last night, for Monroe, their future home.
