QUEEN - HUNTER

Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Hunter announce the marriage of their daughter, Miss Margaret, to Alton S. Queen, which took place Friday night, Rev. Chas. E. Metcalfe officiating. Immediately after the ceremony the happy young couple left for parts unknown for a short honeymoon. The bride left Sunday for Gonzales to resume her work there in a café and the groom returned to A. & M. College to continue his school work.

These are two of our most energetic young people, and have a host of friends who wish them unbounded success on their life’s journey and that joy and happiness may attend them throughout.
