Squire Irwin Marries Couple From Newland—To Live on Farm.

Justice Irwin, the “Marrying Squire,” had a wedding just before noon today, the principals being Miss Effie Wolf and Mr. Samuel Bowen, of Newland, It was the groom’s second marriage, although he is only a little past 23 year's of age. Himself and first wife were divorced about a year and a half ago, the trial being rather a sensational one and bringing Into court a large number of witnesses. The wife was at that time given the custody of their child and also alimony for its support, but evidence was later submitted to show that the child would be better eared for by the father and the court issued a new order and gave the father the custody and relieved him of the payment of further aliihony. Young Bowen is of good reputation and himself and bride are nice looking young people and stand high in their neighborhood. They were accompanied to the clerk’s office and the “marrying parlors” by Mr. and Mrs. John Wolf, he being a brother of the bride. They will reside on a farm near Newland.
