MORROW = EVANS.-Says the AL,
bia Union: Rex Morrow and Miss
Lena Evans have assumed the mari
tai relations and will henceforth sail
down the stream of connubial joys
and sorrows together. Rex is the
eghteen-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
G. A. Morrow, of the Hub clothing
company, and is handsome youth
and quite a ladys man, and II was
only natural that he should select
one of the most charming girls for
his bride that could be produced in
Abba. Miss Evans is the beautiful
and winsome daughter of J. z. Evans,
the millionaire mine operator OF
southern Iowa, and has been a resi-
dens of this city since she wore
short dresses. She has had many ad-
mirers, but she turned down all the
aspirants to a rich father-in-law and
married for love, which every sensi-
BILE and wise girl should do. The
couple are about the same age and
being just barely old enough to know
their own minds they obeyed the de-
tases of their own hearts and became
one without the consent of their par
ents and will be personally respon-
sible from now on for the road they
shall travel together. That 1t will be
mutually pleasant Is certainty for
both are or a cheerful disposition and
both are industrious and willing to do
their part. 1t is like two children
starting out after flowers together,
and The Union wishes for them
pathway strewn with roses bereft of
thorns. All will join in Wishing for
Mr.. and Mrs. Morrow long life,
happiness and prosperity. Last Fri
day the couple went 10 Ottumwa ac-
companied by Mr.. and Mrs. Bert
Fisher, of Avery, and were united In
marriage. They returned home and
the groom went, to the residence OF
his parents and his wife returned to
her fathers roof and nothing was
mentioned concerning The marriage.
On Wednesday 1t leaked out that the
couple had been married. On Thurs
day both families we're apprised OF
the fact and all the community was
surprised. The young couple Will
probably go to housekeeping soon.
