FIRE IN EVAN’S STORE.
Last Wednesday morning at 2
o’clock fire broke out in the dry
goods store of S. Evans, located in
the Hans building. The night
watchman was around by Ben
Rubinsteins store when he heard
something that sounded like an
explosion in the rear of the build-
ing. He ran aroundyto the front
and found smoke pouring out of
both Evans and Saxons, when he
immediately gave the alarm. The
fire boys responded quickly and
soon had the fire under control,
although the damage to the stock
by fire and water was almost to-
tal, while the damage to the
building was slight The fire
seemed to have started from a
stove in rear of the building and
quickly /^read to some quilts and
blankets. The loss was fully
covered by insurance.

The recital given in the high

ing the tire fighting facilities more

appreciated.

WOODWARD-METCALFE.
One of the most interesting wed-
dings in Pearsall society took place
Tuesday evening November twen-
ty fourth at the Presbyterian
church,where Mis^Mary Metcalfe
was married to Mr. Roy Wood-
ward at eight thirty. The church
had been decorated by the hands
of loving friends in the wedding
colors of white and green. The
pulpit alcove was made beautiful
with trailing vines which covered
the ceiling and the walls. The
electric j chandeliers were also
twined with Balsam and Alamo
vine About the piano, to the
right, was & most effective group-
ing of feathery white Chrysanthe-
mums and ferns, and to the left a
bower of t hese same flowers com
pleted the symmetrical arrange-
ment
The middle aisle of the church
was closed by means of loops and
bows of white satin ribbon and
clusters_of Chrysanthemums. The
church was filled to overflowing
with friends of the much loved
couple fully an hour before j the
time set £for the wedding cere-
mony. Promptly at eight-thirty
the wedding party arrived. Miss
Mattie Brooks and Miss Minnie
Berry passed up the aisle. Miss
Brooks took her place at the piano
and played “I Love You Truly”
which Miss Berry sang in her
sweet lyric soprano so much ad-
mired by her friends. At the close
of the solo Miss Brooks struck the
chords of Mendelssohn’s Wedding
March whereupon the wedding
party entered the church.
First came the bridesmaids,
Misses Carrie Woodward and Bess
Maney Harkness, Misses Julia
Woddward and Esma Yates, who
proceeded up the side aisles in
stately measure keeping time to
the old, old, ever new wedding
march, and took their places on
the rostrum.
Miss Mary Farley, maid of hon-
or, pext passed up the central
aisle to the rostrum where she was
joined by the groom and his best
man, Mr Pryse Metcalfe.
Next all eyes centered on the
lovely little bride as she seemed
almost to float up the aisle beside
her gray haired distinguished
looking father? These two took
their places in front of Rev. Dav-
enport around whom the party
now formed a semi circle. . The
ritualistic ring ceremony of the
Presbyterian church was read by
Rev. I. S. Davenport At the
question‘‘who gives this woman”
Mr. Metcalfe placed his daughter’s
hand in that of Mr. Woodward
and took his seat; we who know
the sweet lovliness of this only
daughter in the house, sympathiz-
ed with the father but could also

rejoice at the union of two lives
so well fitted to one another as
are Mr Woodward and Miss Met-
calfe. At the close of the beau-
tifully solemn service the bridal
party, followed by the immediate
family and relatives marched out
of the church, and were sped home-
ward in waiting autos' where Mr.
and Mrs. Metcalfe held a reeption
for relatives and intimate friends
of the family.
Three tables were covered with
presents to the bride and groom
showing in what esteem they are
held. Mr. Woodward is the son
of the late Mr. Mont Woodward
and Mrs. Helen Woodward, and
is one of Pearsall’s most promis
ing young business men, owning
half interest in the Pearsall Lead*
er. Miss Metcalfe is Lhe only
daughter of Mr. and Mrs J. A.
Metcalfe; she was raised here and
her sweet Christian character .has
won her a host of friends.
The bride was gowned in white
Crepe de Chine made en tram and
trimmed with imported lace. The
long tulle veil was caught on the
hair, cap fashion with sprays of
orange blossoms. She wore a
beautiful pearl necklace, a present
of the groom. A shower bouquet
of brides roses and fillies of the
valley completed this otherwise
perfect costume
The maid of honor was dressed
in pink messaline with an over-
dress of chiffon trimmed with fur,
carrying Killarney roses and ferns.
Miss Mattie Brooks was hand-
some in a blue messaline with an
overdress of chiffon and imported
lace; carnationsiwere her flowers-
Miss Minnie Berry was very
pretty in a pink Taffeta with chif*
fon overdress trimmed in fur;
pink carnations we^e her flowers.
Misses Carrie and Julia Wood-
ward wore white messaline with
chiffdh and silk net lace over dress
with pink and blue basque girdle.
Miss Bessie Harkneqp dress of
white crepe meteor was very hand-
some and Miss Esma Yates gown
of white chiffon Taffeta with im-
ported laee trimming and hand
embroidery was j much admired.
AH of the brides-maids carried
bouquets of pink carnations-
Mr. and Mrs. Woodward left on
the early train for West, at which .
place they will visit Mr. and Mrs.
Davis Metcalfe-
Their many friends wish them
all the love, all the good, and all
the happiness to be gotten out of
this fife. ***
