Skinner-Clarkson
Mr. Albert Skinner of Bevier and Miss Jane Maud Clarkson of Macon, were united in marriage at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Catherine Clarkson, in that city, on Wednesday, Oct. 23, 1901 at 7:30 o'clock p.m., the groom's father, Rev. W.R.Skinner of Macon, officiating. The wedding was a quiet one, only the relatives and immediate friends of the young couple being present. The groom is a very promising and highly respected young man. He is manager of the Reichel Furniture Co. store in this city, and enjoys the good will of the people as well as the confidence of the firm, with which he has been connected for several years. The bride is a most estimable young lady, and until recently held a position as bookkeeper in the Gieselman dry goods store in Macon. They came to Bevier Wednesday night and went direct to housekeeping in the handsomely furnished residence on Shelby street, which was purchased some time ago by the groom. Their Bevier friends unite in wishing them abundant joy and happiness.

Mrs. Murlin Entertains

Murlin at her commodious home on Bloomington street, in compliment to her sister, Miss Jennie Lane of Pittsburg, Kansas, who has been the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Murlin for several weeks. There were about sixteen present to enjoy the program of dancing and card playing for the evening. Miss Ruth Hughes and W.J.Reese won the honors for whist-a silver thimble and hat brush. The lunch served was elegant, to say the least, and the hostess, assisted by her son, Lane, acquitted herself very charmingly, as usual, in the entertainment of her guest. Those present were: Mrs. T.S. Watson, Misses Mary Kilholand, Margaret Williams, Leila Cunningham, Kate Rafter, Mary Davis, Ruth Hughes, Alice Drakes, Jennie and Mary Barron; Messrs Arthur Pease, Will Reese, Dr. Schwind, John Bott, Gilbert Hughes.

They noted quite an improvement in the condition of the people of South Wales since they left there over 30 years ago, and the musical standard continually moving upward.
