‘Squire S.B. LORE writes the Dispatch as follows: “On the 30th of January, Mr. F.S. BOWERS and Miss Martha SULLIVAN came to my house to be joined together in the holy bonds of matrimony. They were apparently a very loving couple. They furnished a conveyance for me, and I had to go with them to take dinner. We had a bountiful repast of good things.
