B.S. Appleton and Miss Alice Lorg were married at the Baptist Church at Eddy Sunday night by Rev. W.W. Dornian. One hundred and fifty invitations were issued and there was a large party in attendance. Many handsome presents were recived. There is little doubt now but what Nardin will have a cotton gin next year. Over one hundred acers so far have been pleged with no effort to speak of to canvass the township. The 400 acers asked for will signed before it is time to begin planting and then the men to build the gin will be also be forthcoming. We have heard of several little patches of cotton being raised within 10 to 13 miles of Nardin, but from the fact that the cotton had to be hauled to Perry to market it, the small patches have been only experiments, but they have been successful enough to show the people that cotton can be made a paying crop in this locality.

CISSNA – McWHINNEY

June is not4d for its brides and roses, and there is a striking similiarity in the true type of either. Each is the rival of the other in bloom, purity and sweetness, and the presence of the bride calls for the necessity of the other, and while rivals they are fast friends. Some of our old time writers in slated that marriages are made in Heaven and that consequently at least one of the contracting parties must of necessity be an angel. The humble editor of a weekly newspaper has a variety of duties and tasks but the most pleasant is undoubtedly the chronicling of Cupid’s capers, and it is with genuine pleasure that we announce the mating of Guy A. Cissna and Miss Lenna . The ceremony was performed by Rev. Craighead, of the Presbyterian church, at the home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. J. W. Wymer, Wednesday evening at 5 o’clock, in the presence of a few of the immediate relatives. The bride was dressed in pure white and was prettier than any lily, while the groom wore the conventional but ever suitable black.
After the wedding collation was served, the guests accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Cissna to their new home so nicely fitted up for them, in the northeast part of town, where they will be a home to their many friends after July 2, 1900. The guests were the groom’s mother and sister and John Kinmouth, of Joplin. Mo., and Mr. and Mrs. Levi Bell and daughter Ruth of Arkansas City, relatives of the bride.
The wedding was a strictly home affair, but public interest was not lessened on that account. Mr. Cissna is the well known head clerk in the clothing and gents furnishing department of Foster Mercantile Company, and has a friend in every patron of that store, and in every acquaintance. He is genial, accommodating, sober and industrious and worthy the heart and hand he has won. The bride as Miss Lenna McWhinney has for years been a popular favorite in Blackwell society. She has developed into womanhood here and possesses in a parked degree the qualities and accomplishments so necessary to the happiness of the home. The TIMES-RECORD joins with their host of friends in extending congratulations and best wishes.McShinney

Married, January 8th, 1901, in the parlors of the St. James Hotel, at Winfield Kansas, Mr. L. A. Shaw of Blackwell, O. T. and Miss Davis of Lamont, O. T. This match was quite a romantic affair. Mr. Shaw is the book keeper for the Oklahoma Construction Co. The brides paternal sire is working on the grade and Miss Davis was working in the commissary. Mr. Shaw soon learned to love her, and the affection was reciprocated. But there was still an obstacle to be overcome; for Mr. Davis, who had evidently forgotten the days of his own youth declared that he would shoot the first man who came to ask him for his daughter. In order to avoid the threatened catastrophe. Mr. Shaw decided to marry the girl first and ask her fathers consent afterward so he secured a team and the couple started for Ponca City at 6 o'clock in the evening, arriving there about two o'clock at night. From here they took the train for Winfield, where they were married, returning to Lamont the next day, and we suppose, secured the usual parental forgiveness.
