  	Old Timers of Sabine County, Texas March 5, 1964 Excerpts of the column written by Virgie Collier Speights [Alpha had hinted to her mother that she might soon be wed]...but her mother said she'd never give consent, so Mrs. Cooper said she had no choice but to slip off...she managed a brand new white leghorn hat.....also wrangled a brand new white dotted Swiss dresss, at 12 cents a yard.....[but didn't getting new white shoes, after her sister pointed out to her 'you haven't had the black ones long, if anyone gets new shoes, it should be me.'] [On the day they eloped]...Miss Martin kited over an 8-rail high back fence, and scooted down the road by the creek...Scott came driving up in his surrey, we went to the home of his sister and brother-in-law, Mrs. and Mrs. Will Bradshaw in Brookeland, where a J.P., Will Berryman, was waiting to perform the ceremony. "We set up housekeeping nearby, but about 20 years later rumors of $18 a day lured us to West Texas to pick cotton...we just stayed for two years. Wages were high all right, but so was living."
