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.

Excerpts from the Beacon Flashes column:

  • During the illness of S.C. CLERK, T.J. MARRINER, and Register of Deeds, J.P. HILLIARD, both offices have been in charge of Mr. Thos. S. ARMISTEAD, as deputy.
  • Owing to unavoidable circumstances Hon. J.E. MOORE could not be present to address the Ex Confederates on Monday last, which caused much disappointment to our people.
  • The addition of a cornet to the choir at the Methodist Church is quite an improvement.  Though the choir is composed of a number of our most gifted singers, yet the soft notes of the cornet made by Prof. J.W. PIERCY, makes it even more melodious.
  • Mrs. Louis E. HINER, who has been spending some time in our town as the guest of her brother, Col. W.H. FITCHETT, left for her home in Pendleton Co., West Virginia, on Monday.   She was accompanied as far as Edenton by the Colonel and her daughter, Miss Beatrice, also Misses Stella and Neva LATHAM and Eloise DAVENPORT.
  • Mr. I..F. HARRISON, who has been clerking for Hornthal & Bro. for several years, has accepted a situation with T.W. BLOUNT, of Roper.  Mr. HARRISON is a clever, genial gentleman, and a popular and polite salesman, and we congratulate his new employer upon securing his valuable services, and bepseak for him the continued patronage of his numerous friends and acquaintances.

SPRUILL, W.T. and HILLIARD, Alice – (m. 1889)

Posted on by

Marriage Bells — Just as the soft shades of twilight were falling around the historic old town on Wednesday evening, the stillness was suddenly broken by the merry chimes of the bell as it rang out from the lofty steeple of old Grace church, upon the still moonlit night, giving the call to the multitude of friends of Mr. W.T. SPRUILL and Miss Alice HILLIARD, to gather and witness them, as happy a couple as ever bowed at Hymens altar, joined in the holy bonds of matrimony.

The groom is one of the most successful young farmers of the county and the bride one of the most attractive young ladies of the town and a daughter of our worthy Register of Deeds, Mr. J.P. HILLIARD.

The ceremony was performed at 6:30 o’clock by the Rector Rev. Luther EBORNE. The bride entered the church from the western door leaning upon the arm of her father.  The groom entered from the eastern door attended by Mr. L.L. NEWBERRY and as the solemn wedding march drifted out upon the still moonlight night they marched up to the chancel where they weer, in the most solemn manner, pronounced man and wife.  The bride was attired in a beautiful costume of blue silk.

Immediately after the ceremony the happy couple, accompanied by a number of friends, left for the home of the groom at Lee’s Mills where a reception was given.

The BEACON extends to the happy couple congratulations and best wishes for a long and prosperous life.
