Palacios folks were given a most complete but happy surprise when the news spread Wednesday morning that Mr. Raymond Tatum, of the mercantile firm of Tatum & Sons, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Tatum, and Miss Nola Lofton, a most charming and accomplished young lady of Wallis, this state, had been married at nine o’clock the preceding (Tuesday) night. The marriage occurred at the home of Mrs. Nina H. Gardner, where Mr. and Mrs. Harry Beazell were entertaining the Rook Club. Rev. Shepherd, pastor of the Presbyterian church, tied the nuptial knot with the pretty ring ceremony. After the marriage the newly weds drove into town in Mrs. Gardner’s car, and notified Mr. Tatum’s family of what had happened and then left for Blessing, chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Beazell, where they boarded the train for San Antonio where they are enjoying their honeymoon, expecting to return to Palacios about August 1st, where they will be at home to their many friends. Mr. Tatum is one of the most esteemed young men of Palacios, and one of our most successful and enterprising business men. The bride is a niece of County Commissioner Henry Sanders, and was a former student at Palacios Academy, and during her attendance at the school here made a wide circle of admiring friends. At the time of her marriage she was visiting her uncle’s family in company with her cousin, Miss Pearl Boyd, also of Wallis. This is the story in brief and readers can put all the facts together and weave for themselves the pretty romance which has had such a happy culmination. The Beacon joins with their many friends in extending sincere congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Tatum.

Miss Gertrude Stewart and Mr. Fred Thompson played quite a joke on their many friends last Friday evening, by unostensibly driving to the Methodist parsonage and taking the nuptial vows, before going to the volley ball game at the B. Y. P. U. auditorium, where the latter acted as score keeper. Rumor of the coming event had been afloat all day and teachers, pupils and friends had planned many a prank for the occasion, but all hopes for such fun were blasted when the fair young bride, upon being questioned, displayed the emblem already upon her fingers. The ceremony had been performed by Rev. M. C. Stearns, with only Miss Gussie Fox, an intimate friend, as a witness. However, they were showered with congratulations and best wishes, even if rice and old shoes were not available. The bride is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Stewart and has grown to womanhood in this city. She is a favorite in her social and church circles and possesses all the qualifications for a real help-mate. The groom is the youngest son of Mrs. W. J. H. Thompson, and has spent the greater part of his life in Palacios. He is a graduate of Palacios High school, has spent several years in college and also taught school. He is at present a member of the Palacios High School Faculty and director of athletics. He is a young man of splendid habits, energetic and of high ambitions.

Mr. Ed. Traylor of this city and Miss Maud Cryer of Beeville were quietly married Saturday afternoon, the ceremony being performed by the Baptist minister at the home of the bride. Ed left here Wednesday of last week, supposedly on a business trip to San Antonio, or some other sea-port, and no none suspected he intended to jump the broomstick ere his return, and the first inkling his friends had was after the “deed had been did.” The young couple arrived in the city Sunday, very desirous of reaching their destination without being observed, but failing. They were given the customary shivaree, and received the congratulations of about seven auto loads of noisy well-wishers. The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Traylor and is associated with his father in the hardware business. He is well known and respected for the many qualities and characteristics that make him a good citizen. Palacios at one time being her home, the bride is well known and has innumerable friends here. The Beacon joins their many friends in extending wishes for a happy married life.
