T. C. BROWN and Miss Amanda ROBING were married new the late residence of Henry GRIGG, on January 19. The house being in Fayette county, the couple had to repair to the grove east of the house to reach Hardeman. O. HARRIS, J. P., officiated. Some little romance was connected with the affair. The bride’s mother, opposing the match as best she could, Mr. John CONNER, a friend of the bridegroom, in trying to conciliate the matter and get the old lady’s consent, approached too near a broken broomstick, and a sore hear was the result. CONNER was heard to mutter something like this, “Dinged hard that I get my head nearly broken and another fellow gets the girl.”
