MARRINER, T.J. and CARRAWAY, Lizzie – (m. 1890)

Posted on by

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.

Beacon Flashes (February 2, 1890)

Posted on by

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.

Would Be Assassin (1889)

Posted on by

While Mr. T.J. MARRINER and Mr. S.B. SPRUILL were sitting in the latter’s office on Saturday night last, about 8 o’clock, some unknown person threw a brick through the window, which, luckily passed between the gentlemen, who were sitting near together.

Had the brick struck either of the gentlemen, it would, no doubt, have killed them, as it was hurled with great force.

Who the would-be assassin is no one knows. Neither of the men knew that they had an enemy that would try to take their lives in such a cowardly manner.

If it is possible, the guilty party should be brought to justice, for the coward who sneaks about the premises of good citizens and seeks to murder them, while hidden by the shadows of darkness, ought to spend the remainder of their days behind the bars, or else end them on the gallows.
