Thomasville Couple Married at High Point — Despite the sombre weather hanging over our town last Thursday afternoon there were glad hearts that breathed the sweet incense of anticipation. About three o’clock a team came flying around Perry’s corner and halted right in front of the Enterprise office. A stalwart young man alighted and asked for ‘Squire SMITH, while a blith and handsome girl remained in the buggy with a serene and placid visage that portrayed in word satisfaction. We were immediately on the scene and asked the honor to assist in helping the couple bring about the happy consummation. Knowing ‘Squire SMITH to have been sick at his home we got another witness in solemn ceremony marched to his home. There was no time to be lost. We gave the signal and all stood up. In two minutes Arthur KENNEDY and Virginia MORRIS, all of Thomasville, were made man and wife. After the magistrate was satisfied we conducted the happy pair to the Enterprise office where was held for 5 minutes a reception. At 4 o’clock the couple left for the home of the bride as bold as lions. – High Point Enterprise.

‘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.

According to the report of our friend, the ‘squire, the wedding was an elegant affair; and the dinner was likewise, a good thing, or to be more accurate, a feast of good things. ‘Squire YOUNG has been around a great deal, and has performed the marriage ceremony for couples almost innumerable. When he sees a good wedding dinner he knows it.

Arriving at Newton, the party was conveyed in carriages to the Yount Hotel. At three o’clock, a large company of invited guests assembled in the parlor, which was tastefully decorated for the occasion. A few minutes later, the bride and groom entered and took their position under a floral wedding bell. As they stood there before the officiating clergymen, they were the admiration of all beholders. Both taller than the average, the groom handsome, the bride beautiful, the conclusion that they were a pair well matched was irresistible. Rev. D. MONROE of Newton, and Rev. J.E. GAY of Mt. Airy, performed the ceremony of making them one. The vows were spoken, the blessing pronounced, and then the impressive silence gave way to the mingling of many voices in conversation, while friends showered their congratulations on the happy pair. A sumptuous repast followed, and all partook with a relish that testified their appreciation of the efforts of skillful hands to make that part of the occasion a complete success.
The journey returning to Lexington was without incident. Arriving at the March House, the bride, suffering with a severe cold, withdrew from the company, while the gentlemen sat down to a supper that fully sustained Mrs. MARCH’s reputation as a cateress. The table was fairly loaded with good things in great variety and profusion almost boundless. The cakes were models of the baker’s art and all the viands were prepared with consummate skill. A more delightful company of gentlemen never did justice to a March House feast, and that is paying the highest possible compliment to the guests.
