"The Landmark" Statesville [Iredell Co.], North Carolina, Thursday, September 10, 1891 (transcription by and from Kathy Cawley 2/2004)
The Landmark's New York Correspondent Married.
THE LANDMARK last week received an invitation to attend the marriage of Mr. David T. Duncan and Miss Nellie Gaskins, which was solemnized at Bethel Church, Virginia, Tuesday evening, 8th inst. Mr. Duncan is a native of Virginia and is THE LANDMARK'S New York correspondent, and his marriage is an event which will be of peculiar interest to every reader of this paper. Our people have every week for eight years past followed his elegant pen with the keenest pleasure. His letters are the leading educational feature of THE LANDMARK, and, as it has remarked before, are the best writing done on any North Carolina paper. A city reader said not long since that he had for years read closely the letters of the best syndicate writers of the day, those of John Russell Young, George Alfred Townsend, and others, and we read that none were better written or of more interest than the New York letters to THE LANDMARK. It is even so. There is no feature of the paper that is so highly regarded and hence, as above suggested, the marriage of the gentleman who writes these charming letters is an event in which every subscriber to THE LANDMARK will feel a personal interest, and all will join it in the hope that the days of "D.T.D." may be long in the land and that his happiness as a married man may be complete.
