MARRIED — At the residence of the bride’s father, Capt. W.W. CARRAWAY, near Kinston, on the morning of July 24th at 7:30 o’clock, Mr. T. J. MARRINER, of Plymouth , and Miss Lizzie CARRAWAY, of near Kinston.  Esq. Benj. SCARBOROUGH officiating.  They were attended by Mr. Lemuel MOSELEY and Miss Gertrude CARRAWAY, and Mr. J.P. HILLIARD and Miss Florence MOSELEY, many friends being present.

The bride was one of the most charming belles of Lenoir county, admired by all for her gentle manners, grace and beauty.  The groom is one of our most popular citizens, and is the efficient Clerk of the Superior Court of this county.

Immediately after the ceremony was performed the happy couple took the train for Plymouth, where they arrived at 7:45 p.m., they were met at the depot and driven at once to the groom’s residence on Washington street,  where they were met by a host of invited guests, and the bride given a hearty welcome to her new home.

After partaking of a bountiful supper, the Plymouth Cornet Band gave them a serenade.

Our congratulations “Uncle Tom” to you and yours. May the guardian angel of happiness, prosperity and peace ever hover about these two hearts that beat as one.
