Georgia Enterprise, March 24, 1898
  A young man by the name of Gunn from Newton County, was engaged to be married
to a Miss Jackson, in Henry County,and when he endeavored to cross South river
on one of the bridges Thursday, to claim his bride, the quarantine officers 
refused to let him pass without a permit from the commissioners. It was ten 
miles to town, and the time for the marriage was only two hours off, so he went 
down the river a short distance, pulled off his clothes and waded over. He 
walked to the home of his intended, was united in marriage, secured a batteaux
and brought his bride to where he had left his buggy and then proceeded on the
way to their own home as happy and contented as if they had been married in a 
mansion and were traveling in a parlor palace car.
