SINGULAR MARRIAGE
A man employed in the works at Ardrossan, was on three different Sundays proclaimed in the two parish churches of Ardrossan and Stevenston, for marriage.
Monday was the day appointed ‘for tying the hymeneal’. In the afternoon, the bridegroom went to Saltcoats to meet the bride, who lived in Stevenston, accompanied with music, etc., when to his amazement, the bride did not appear, and upon inquiry she had changed her mind, but the bridegroom (a true son of Hibernia) was not to be disappointed of a wife – he immediately applies for another, obtains her consent, and presents her as if the bride, and they (the circumstance unknown to the reverend clergyman) were married, and are now to every appearance happy.

DISTRESS IN STEVENSTON
At a meeting of Stevenston Parish Council, Mr Morrison inquired if the Council could take steps to open a soup kitchen for the benefit of the poor. He believed that in Stevenston there were many people verging on starvation, and if soup was given daily it would go a long way towards relieving them.
It was explained that the council could not take action, but Mr Morrison agreed to call on several people and arrange for the opening of a soup kitchen.
It was mentioned in the course of the discussion that one lady was distributing through the district nurse 10 gallons of soup daily.
