Middle Ga Argus – Week of October 21,1890
Rev. E. M. Hooten – Myra McDaniel
A Grand Reception – At the Residence of Rev. E. M. Hooten.

One of the grandest and most pleasant social events of the season was the 
reception at the residence of Rev. E. M. Hooten, on last Wednesday evening, 
15th inst., given as an expression of the high esteem and love of his church 
and in honor of his marriage with Miss Myra McDaniel, which took place at the 
residence of the late Judge McDaniel, of Hampton, Ga., at 10 o’clock Wednesday 
morning.

The ceremony was performed by the Hon. Jno. D. Steward in his most impressive 
and elegant style.

Miss McDaniel was one of Hamptons’s most charming and accomplished ladies.  She 
is a lady possessed of high intellectual attainments linked with the amiability 
of temperament, refinement and grace of manner, which is the result of perfect 
training and lineage.  Her family connections are among the most distinguished 
of Georgia, and it was with much regret that the high circles of society which 
she so gracefully adorned in Hampton surrendered her to that of Jackson.

After a sumptuous wedding breakfast the married pair left for Jackson and 
arrived here late in the afternoon.  

Mr. Hooten’s large and handsome residence was ablaze with light from garret to 
cellar.  The luxurious beauties of the parlor and dinning hall were embraced by 
the most artistic floral decorations.  His relatives and a large number of his 
friends were resent to assist in the reception and join in the ovation of the 
church to its beloved pastor.

After the necessary introductions and all were made comfortably acquainted, one 
of those pleasant social chats, in which every one has a word, and many 
congratulations smilingly received by Mr. Hooten, the company or party, was 
conducted to the dining hall, where awaiting them, in lovely style, was the 
daintiest repast that ever tempted the appetite of man.

The table with its wealth of fruit, flowers and delicate viands was a perfect 
poem in the shape of a supper table.  It would have delighted the eye and taste 
of an artist.  In fact it was only appreciated by those present.

“Table Talk” was quite brilliant and pleasant indeed, and would make a pretty 
addition to that poem of Cowper
s so named.  After supper the guests returned to the parlors where they were 
entertained by music and many interesting anecdotes, which inevitable sprang 
from a general conversation.

It was with reluctance, at a late hour that they bade adieu to the household 
and left the scene of so much enjoyment.
One of the Guest.
