Mr. John Atkins, a young carpenter from Virginia, stole Miss Mary Amon from the parental roof last week and fled to Jelico, Tenn., where he made her his wife. The bride was a pupil in the Female College here and though young, but 14, is very large for her age. Her father was the maddest man Friday when he found out how he had been outwitted but it is to be hoped that he has cooled off by this time and said "come to me arms me children."
