Skinner, of this city, and Miss Mary S. Winborne, who lives near Tyner, Chowan County. The ceremony will be performed Thursday morning, December 26th, at 10:30 a.m. at the bride's home. A card accompanying the invitation reads: "At home after the 1st of January, Durham, North Carolina." This will be a very popular social event. Mr. Skinner, who has made Durham his home for about four years, is principal in the city schools. He was first connected with the city high school and since then has been principal of the North Durham, the Fuller and, at present, the Morehead school. He is a graduate of the State University in both the academic and law departments. He is the son of Mr. Joshua Skinner, of Hertford, Perquimans county, a member of the well known Skinner family in eastern North Carolina, being related to the Skinners and Lewises of Raleigh, and the Lassiters, of Oxford. He is a young man of great ability and since coming here has made quite an enviable reputation as an educator. Miss Winborne, who is to become his bride, is the daughter of the late Dr. R.H. Winborne, a well known physician of Chowan county. She is a graduate of the State Normal and a young lady who is prominent and popular in social circles throughout the State. She is a cousin of Judge B.B. Winborne, member of the Legislature, and closely related to ex-Congressmen Harry and T.G. Skinner, of the eastern district. This marriage will be a brillant and happy social event.
