Dan Cupid is quite an adept in the gentle art of archery. He aims his arrows where he pleases and none are safe from his attacks. One of his most recent victims was a well known and well loved lady of Palacios, named Eleanor B. Eads. When she plucked the arrow from her heart to see whom was the sender, she discovered the name of Charles Henry Hall, of Greenville, Mich. Mr. Hall is no stranger to Palacios and needs no introduction as he had spent the last seven or eight winters here in our midst. He is a gentleman of sterling character, well liked by all who know him. Knowing the futility of trying to escape the coils of Cupid she consented to meet Mr. Hall in Bay City on June 6, where they were married at the Presbyterian Church, at 10 a.m. The vows were read by Rev. G. F. Gillespie, pastor of the Presbyterian church of Palacios. The ceremony was very impressive and beautiful. The bride was very charming and beautifully dressed in an ensemble suit of Roseglow Boucle with accessories to match. Palacios will miss Mrs. Hall and is loath to give her up by what is our loss is Greenville’s gain and we feel sure she will soon win a host of friends there who will learn to love her too. Those present at the wedding from Palacios were her daughter, Mrs. Pearl Shuey, Mrs. Mitchell, Miss Turner, Mrs. Minich, Mr. Holliday, Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Arnold. Mr. and Mrs. Hall will be at home in Greenville, Mich., after a wedding trip including Houston, Galveston, and Chicago, where they will visit Mr. Hall’s son. The Beacon joins the host of friends in wishing for the newly-weds a long life of joy and happiness.

The society wedding of the year took place at the first Methodist Church here this morning when Miss Bertha Wallace became Mrs. Hurley. This event has been looked forward to as a grand climax to the many nice social affairs in honor of one of the dearest, sweetest girls any city ever claimed, Bertha Wallace. To attest the bride’s popularity, the church, handsome in itself, had been transformed into a regular “palm garden” so many and beautiful were the palms used. They were plucked from their native soil and brought to Bay City for this particular affair and the transformation was almost magic. Other than the entire choir place being in palms it made a beautiful background for the floral decorations of pink and white roses that were used every where that they could be placed. The arches over the aisles were in pink and white chrusanthemums, and asparagus ferns—one arch suspending “W”, the next “H.” A musical program including a duet by Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Davis, “Love Dreams,” and a solo, “I Love You Only,” by Mrs. Davis with Mrs. Hawkins as accompanist was immediately followed by Wegner’s wedding march played by Mrs. G. A. Moore. The ushers, Mr. Woolsey, Mr. Cookenboo, Mr. Hardy and Mr. Williamson, opened up the large doors and marched up the aisles followed by the bride’s dearest chums and attendants–the “Owls”–two in number–all beautifully dressed in white, carrying arm boquets of pink carnations and ferns. They were followed by the maid of honor, Miss Grace Keller in pink, then came Mrs. Ziegenhals as matron of honor in lovely lavender satin and bride roses. The dainty little ladies in pink came to scatter roses in the path of the bride who followed on the arm of her brother, Mr. Bruce Wallace. They were met at the altar by the groom, Mr. Hurley, accompanied by his best man, Mr. Charley Jones of Houston. Rev. A. A. Kidd read the sacred words that made Mr. Hurley and Miss Wallace man and wife, and a more beautiful picture could not be drawn than that found by the pretty girls, handsome men, dainty flower girls and the happy radiant face of Bertha as a bride with the beautiful back ground they had. Immediately the recessional began and the party left the altar only to be met in the doorway by a host of friends, all anxious to do honor to one so dear to them all. After much congratulation the party met at the home of the bride to await the time for the train. The bride was robed in a magnificent robe of silk marquisette with duchesse lace over white satin foulard, with a large bridal hat with plumes and carried a boquet of bride roses. This was changed to her going away gown of brown silk, Gainesbro hat, with parasol and gloves to match. A prettier bride there never was. At the train was a “multitude” of well wishers to see them off and shower they paid with love and rice. In throwing her boquet to the maids, each trying her best to reach the coveted treasure, it fell to Miss Lizzie Hawkins as the lucky party. In the cozy Wallace home was displayed the wedding gifts and if they can speak the love and appreciation of the bride, then truly “her friends are a legion.” Mr. and Mrs. Hurley go to Houston for a short stay, then to Lufkin where Mr. Hurley will present his bride to his family. Then after a little visit with them, Mr. and Mrs. Hurley will be at home to their friends at Silsbee. If the wedding can be taken as omen of events to follow, surely all things good will come into the lives of these two people, for everything has been only for their good on this, their marriage morn, and that the days that follow may be filled with only the very best things of this life is the cordial wish and hope of the entire city.

Having previously been invited by Mr. Andrew Huebner, to be present at the marriage of his daughter, Ada Irene, to Mr. Bernard J. Hurst, the guests began to arrive at the handsome country home, Tuesday evening about 8:30 o’clock. They were received at the door by Mrs. M. T. Huebner, invited into the spacious reception hall and asked to register in the pretty “Bride’s Book,” which was presided over by Mrs. R. A. Kleska. They then passed on down the hall to examine the beautiful and handsome wedding presents, which were displayed on a long table. Among them, were three checks, each for one hundred dollars. In a short time the guests had all arrived, about fifty in number, most of whom were relatives and very few intimate friends. At 9 o’clock the Rev. John Sloan of Houston took his stand in the parlor under a beautiful canopy of evergreens and Shasta daisies. A pretty background being formed of many ferns, pot plants and palms. Accompanied by Miss May Etta Taylor of Iago, Miss Pauline Huebner sang in her sweet voice “At Dawning.” After which “Lohengren’s,” the ever-popular and impressive wedding march, was rendered by Miss Pauline Huebner, who presided at the piano, and Mr. R. A. Kleska on the violin. The matrons of honor, Mrs. Lola Brown and Mrs. H. J. Hauck of Valley Falls, Kansas, sisters of the bride, in handsome white dresses, led the way through the artistically decorated hall and dining room and into the parlor, between the aisles of pink ribbons, followed by Miss Willie Bell Hurst, as maid, in pink chiffon, carrying a lovely bouquet of pink gladiolas and ferns, with Mr. Dudley Huebner in handsome black suit. Behind them came little three-year-old Herman Hauck, in all white, carrying the ring in a white rose. Next came the bride leaning upon the arm of the happy groom. She was a vision of loveliness robed in white Georgette crepe de Chine, trimmed in handsome lace and pearls. On her head rested a wreath of orange blossoms, from which trailed a long veil. She carried in her arms an exquisite shower bouquet. The groom looked very handsome in the conventional black. When they reached the canopy, under which they were to be married, still keeping step to the music, they gracefully fell in line before the minister awaiting them, who then read the impressive Episcopal ceremony. When they were pronounced man and wife, congratulations were heartily extended. A happier and more smiling couple were never seen. Misses Jessie May Hurst of Iago and Marguerite Huebner served iced fruit punch throughout the evening. After pleasant conversation and more music by Miss Huebner and Mr. Kleska the young people were invited into the dining room to cut the bride’s cake. A basket of Shasta daisies hung from the chandelier, also little shower bouquets with fortune cards on the end, reached down to an immense heart-shaped cake, ornamented with a miniature kewpie bridal party. Ice cream and delicious angel food cake were then served. The bride stole away a short time, but soon returned in a very becoming suit of brown, with hat, gloves and boots to match. After bidding everyone goodbye, the happy couple departed for a short wedding trip―leaving the guests curious as to their destination. Mrs. Hurst is the youngest daughter of Mr. Andrew Huebner, is accomplished and loved by all who have the pleasure of knowing her. Mr. Hurst is formerly from Florence, Ala. He has been in this county for the past few years, but has been here long enough for the people to know and appreciate his sterling worth. He is at present in the employ of the Stoddard Company at Buckeye, where they will reside for the present, after returning from their wedding trip.
