At 9:30 o’clock last Monday evening at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. D. Driskill, Mr. Clarence E. James and Miss Wilsie Driskill, both of this city, were united in marriage, by Dr. T. F. Driskill, uncle of the bride. There is not a more deservedly popular and generally known young lady in Palacios than Miss Wilsie, and the announcement of her marriage came as a complete surprise to her friends, which means everybody in the city; and we understand that the decision on the part of the young couple to get married at this time had not been made but a short time. The groom is a cousin of Mr. Earnest Smith, but a newcomer from Dallas, having been a resident of Palacios but about six months, and is a salesman for the Smith Mercantile Co., but has won many friends in the short time he has been here. The ceremony was performed in the presence of a large company of friends, who assembled on very short notice. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Wildman, Mr. and Mrs. H. Blancha, and Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Walters and family, Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Shuman and family, Stanley Jones and family, Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Hillyer and family, Mr. and Mrs. Huah Powell, Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Rittenhouse, Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Haynes, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Sherman, Mrs. Verdie White, Mrs. B. A. Hatchell, Mrs. M. C. Reece, Mr. Jack Rives, Mr. Cliff Dodson, Mr. Jake Minor, Ola May and Nannie B. Hatchell, Misses Cara Garrett, Flo Williams, Ruth Champion, Lucile Tansel and all the members of the family of the bride’s parents. Beside these there were present the following young ladies, members of the Embroidery Club, of which the bride is a much esteemed member: Misses Hazel Hall, Besse Foley, Rose Foley, Sadie Wood, Hazel Durham, Lummie Lewis and Mrs. Ray Foley. Miss Lillian Lowe, of Bay City a special friend of the bride, was also present, the ceremony having been set at the hour named, awaiting her arrival on the train. To Mr. and Mrs. James the very best well wishes of everyone in the city, as well as of their many other friends elsewhere, is extended, and who bespeak for them happiness and prosperity in fullest measure. Last night the members of the Embroidery Club gave Mrs. James a miscellaneous shower at which she received a large number of useful and beautiful gifts. Palacios Beacon, April 10, 1912

On last Tuesday evening the marriage of Miss Jessie Jarrell to Mr. Aubrey Elliott was solemnized at the spacious Jarrell home on North Main street, Rev. W. M. Williams, of Ft Worth, officiating. The entire reception suite which includes almost the entire first floor of the residence was beautifully decorated with garlands and festoons of Southern smilax, potted ferns and palms and bowls of white roses. Innumerable gifts of rare beauty were displayed in the library and were the true expressions of the love and sincere esteem in which this happy young couple are held by their many friends. In the dining room Misses Anna Beringer, Le Vera Pyle and Arleigh Jarrell presided over the punch bowl. A lace spread over pink satin, roses, ferns, and ribbons suspended from the chandelier made the table a bower of beauty. Miss Aubery Jarrell home from the State University for the occasion, sweetly sang, “Oh Promise Me!” Miss Ruth Hatcher, at the piano, played the wedding march. Both of these young ladies were gowned in point-d’esprit over white satin with pear hair ornaments. As the first sweet strains of Mendelsson’s wedding march were heard little Jimmie Jarrell and Leslie B. Elliott clad in dainty white empire frocks with pink sashes descended the smilax entwined stairway and scattering rose petals, wended their way to the parlor, the place of the ceremony. Misses Mary Miller, from the University, and Ophelia Donnell, followed by Misses Florence Agee and Kathleen Holliday at bride’s maids were next in the procession, wearing dainty semi-decollete frocks of pointed d’esprit over white satin with pearl trimmings and hair ornaments and carrying brides maid’s bouquets. The bride, who appeared on the arm of the groom, looked exceedingly charming in a gown of accordion plaited charmeuse satin with an exquisite Venice lace over drapery and a coiffure decoration of tulle, pearls and aigrette. After Rev. W. M. Williams pronounced the simple but beautiful ceremony, Rev. E. C. Boynton invoked a blessing upon the young couple in a short prayer. After the ceremony an informal reception was held and a delicious salad and ice course was served. Immediately after the reception was over, the couple left for their future home, the bride wearing a tailored suit of blue with hat, blouse and gloves, en suite.—Belton Journal.
Miss Jarrell is a niece
of Mr. J. R. Reynolds of this city and visited for some time here
several months ago. She made many friends while in the city who extend
