Last Thursday the people gathered together from far and near to witness the marriage of Mr. A. T. Grover and Miss Pauline Kroshus.  The ceremony took place in the new church but the guests followed the bride and groom to the house of Mr. Grover where a sumptuous supper was partaken of.  The whole night and first part of next day was spent in dancing and other merry-making.  Many fine presents  were made to the bride.  The good wishes of the whole community are extended to the couple. It is rumored that other weddings are soon to follow.
