Jackson Argus – Week of July 30, 1897
Gulledge - McCoy

Judge J. F. Carmichael was awakened at 10;30 p.m. Monday night to issue a 
marriage license for a young man by the name of Gulledge and Miss Sallie McCoy.

After securing the license Judge Robinson was awakened and asked to go down to 
the factory and perform the ceremony, but the Judge declined.

An unsuccessful attempt was made to get Rev. J. M. Bowden to perform the 
ceremony.  Col. Curry was called upon and he responded to the appeal.

It was after midnight when he pronounced the twain one flesh and left them to 
their own reflections.

It is reported that the bride’s mother gave her a whipping the next morning and 
locked her up in a closet and many people judge from this trivial circumstance 
that there must have been parental objections to the marriage.

But when two young people want to marry as bad as these two, The Argus wants to 
see a whole lot of marrying done, and then we want to see it stick.

Here’s hoping that all things will work together for good to the bride and the 
bridegroom.
