Wednesday, at high noon, at the home of the bride’s parents, 22 Larkin St., 
Atlanta, Ga., Dr. J.R. Graves of this city was united in marriage to Miss 
Minnie Eason. Only the family and intimate friends of the bride and groom were 
present.

They left on the evening train and reached here at 6:30 o’clock. They were met 
at the depot by friends and driven to the home of Mr. J.W. Ford, where a 
sumptuous supper was served.

Mrs. Graves, as Mrs. Eason, was very popular and had many friends. She comes 
from one of the pioneer families of Fayette county and will receive a warm 
welcome in Zebulon.

winning the confidence and esteem of all, and he now enjoys a lucrative 
practice, one that any older physician might well feel proud of.
