The Southern Sentinel    June 23, 1904
   The truth of the saying that "love laughs at locksmiths" was demonstrated 
Tuesday when Geo. P. Eagles and Miss Hattie Pace were married at Colfax, going 
there to be married because of parental objections which prevented the issuing 
of a license in this parish.  The young couple had arranged to have a wedding 
at Winnfield Thursday but the groom, who is not of age, forgot to get his 
father's consent till all the preparations had been made with the exceptions 
of the license.  Mr. E. Eagles, father of the groom-to-be got onto what was 
about to happen and set about to stop further proceedings.  He could do 
nothing, however, and as a last resort he forbid the issuing of a license.  
Then it looked like the marriage would fail to materialize, but after some 
maneuvering the couple, accompanied by some friends, got teams and drove to 
Colfax Monday night and were married there Tuesday.  They returned home and 
enjoyed a dining Wednesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Pace, 
parents of the bride.
   The contracting parties to this little romance are well known and are very 
popular young people.  They are receiving the congratulations of numerous 
friends.
