A very enjoyable affair took place on last Thursday evening at the residence of H. C. Lower, it being the marriage of his youngest daughter Rachel to Mr. E. G. Hoover, of your city, formerly of this place. The attendants were Miss Ida M. Rice and Prof. G. M. Lynn. Mr. Hoover is at present employed in the railroad offices in your city and is worth of the prize he has won. They were serenaded on Friday evening by the Citizens Social band, which rendered some extra fine music. Mr. Hoover was at one time a member of this band. Our wish is that they may long live and not a wave of trouble roll across their - happiness.
