Vawter-Irvine
Mr. Arthur Tipton Vawter and Miss Clara Irvine were married Wednesday evening Jan. 15th, at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Irvine near Fairville, at 7 p. m., Rev. C. E. Thomas pastor of the Presbyterian church of this city officiating. The bridesmaids were Misses Bessie Tucker and Lillie Irvine and they looked charming in a costume of pink silk mull with white applique ribbons and lace trimmings.
The melody that flooded the environment and made perfect the bridal vision when the chosen maiden approached the altar on the arm of the young knight of the scene, was the gift of the Fairville mandolin band who were generous enough to celebrate the departure of beauty stolen from them to Marshall.
The bride was radiantly lovely and you could not have told what her costume was as she was everything herself, but they say it was Goolin blue silk embroidered with black velvet dots, white applique yoke, rosette and collar of white tulle, black rosetta in front of corset, finished with tucks and stitching. Collar edged with lemon velvet.
The supper was all you might expect it to be if you know Robert Irvine and his estimable lady, last and he says not least. It really deserved the term "elegant" and was such a variety and tasteful abundance that it was hard to quit tasting. Nobody has told us all Mr. Irvine's jokes but as he is the Bill Nye of his township if not Saline, we will bet they were many and choice.
Among the guests from Marshal—there were too many from every where else for us to undertake to count them—were: Miss Bessie, Claudia, Floy, son Luther, Ed McDavid, Dr. Harrison, Miss Lizzie Ervine, Mrs. Henry Irvine, Mrs. J. S. Kelley, Mr. and Mrs. Rowland Smith, Geo. B. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Will Vawter, Mrs. W. F. Vawter, Misses Emma, Eva and Iola Vawter, Edgar S. and Thos. Vawter, Frank Vawter, Miss Beulah Sharp, Misses Millard and Pa Parrish, Mrs. George Withers, Mr. and Mrs. Claude Rogers, Ernest Vaughan, of St. Louis, Mr. and Mrs. Alvis Vawter, of Salt Springs.

Bitten by a Horse
Miss Clara Irvine of Fairville, spent the day on Monday with her uncle, Harvey Tucker and family. When she stopped at the gate to hitch her horse, he grabbed her right cheek between his teeth and lifted her from the ground. Of course the young lady was badly frightened and the wound, while not serious was quite painful for awhile.
She was taken to the office of Dr. William Harrison, where it was dressed. We had the pleasure of meeting the young lady on Wednesday, when she was leaving the Doctor's office, where she had her wound dressed; she was quite comfortable, and is hopeful that it may not leave a scar on her face. The horse is a pet driving horse that the family have used for years and is more or less vicious at times.

MRS. ARTHUR T. VAWTER—One of the saddest deaths it has been our duty to chronicle in a long time was that of Mrs. Vawter, who passed over to the better land on Monday evening June 29th after a long illness. Mrs. Vawter was young and handsome, had a happy home and loving husband and daughter and had every hope of enjoying a long and happy life when stricken with her fatal illness brought on by stomach trouble.
She was formerly Miss Clara Irvine, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Irvine of Fairville. She was thirty years old.
Mrs. Vawter was taken to the home of her parents a week ago when her condition became critical and a specialist from St. Louis was called who attempted to save her life by an operation, but found it was too late.

Funeral services were held at the residence in Fairville Wednesday at 1:30 p. m. by Rev. J. E. McDonald, her pastor being out of town, and burial at Ridge Park cemetery. The many in attendance and the beautiful floral offerings attested the love of her friends and acquaintances.
