Mr Marvin STEWART, the second son of Mrs Emma STEWART, formerly of this place [Roanoke] but now of Oklahoma, who has been spending some weeks in this section of the country, was married to Miss Lilla MIDDLEBROOKS. The next day the young couple proceeded to LaGrange and boarded the train for their future home in Oklahoma. Mr STEWART left Roanoke eight years ago for Oklahoma, and had not been back till this trip. He was quite young then, and the lady who last week became his bride was only about 15 years of age. They were sweet hearts then, and through all the time and space that intervened, their love for each other did not lapse. A regular correspondence was kept up. Upon Mr STEWART’s return from the West arrangements were made for the happy consummation above recorded. Thus does cupid do his cunning work.
