Evening Republican, Volume 22, Number 33, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 February 1919 — SCOOP WAS SCOOPED. [ARTICLE]

SCOOP WAS SCOOPED.

The office force of the Republican was thoroughly aggravated by the taunting of one of the editors Friday, who said he has a scoop on a very important wedding which was to take place Saturday. An offer was made to wager him any sum that another paper would contain the notice in its issue coming off the press Fridayevening. But the editor and southern plantation owner was sure he had had exclusive advance information and requested that no mention be made of the important coming event. Everybody in the office knew the party, but, in order that the editor’s desires be fully complied with, the announcement was withheld. We promised to hold the item until today, and here it is: Madeline Abbott, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Abbott, of this city, was married this Saturday afternoon at 3 p. m. at her home on North Cullen street to Herbert R. Anderson, of Monon. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. E. W. Strecker, ipastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, of this city. Mrs. L. Anderson anddaughter.Nina, mother and sister respectively of the groom, with the parents of the bride, were present at the crmony. The bride is a very popular young lady and has shown much ability in important positions she has held. She was for awhile a reporter on the Republican. She was last employed by the Midas department store in Hammond. The groom is a railway brakeman on the : Monon, They will make their future home in Indianapolis. The Republican joins with the host of friends of these young people in extending to them very best wishes and hearty congratulations.
