A March Wedding.
On Wednesday evening of last week, the 23d inst., at the home of the bride's parents in this city, Mr. Ellis J.

Mr. Hook, as student and teacher in Decorah, has earned a large circle of acquaintances and friends who admire him for his bearing as a true man and a gentleman. His bride is the youngest member and only daughter of one of Decorah’s oldest and most highly respected families, all of whose friends join in congratulations and good wishes.
