                  Married—at the home of Uncle Harve WESTON, on last Sunday 

                  morning, Gilbert SKELTON and Mary MITCHEL. The bride is the 

                  accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John NOEGEL. They have 

                  both lived here several years and have many friends who wish 

                  them much happiness. After the wedding they returned to the 

                  bride’s home, where a splendid dinner was served. They 

                  received many useful presents.

                  this place leaves this week for his new charge at Dustin, and 

                  is succeeded on this field by Rev. W.A. FRAZIER, a young 

                  minister with a small family. Rev. FRAZIER will come upon the 

                  field and take charge of the work at once. The district also 

                  has a new Presiding Elder, Rev. E.M. SWEET, who is well known 

                  in this part of the state, having once served as president of
