By The Auto Route
Judge Parish officiated at a (wedding) that had more than the usual spice of romance in it, even for Gretna Green Affairs.

Coy C. McKinnon, a son of Hon. D. L. McKinnon, of Marianna, was the groom, and Miss Willie Lee Kilpatrick, of the same place was the bride. On their arrival here on the evening train an auto was secured, and with Judge Parish as a passenger a ride was taken around the lake, and during the trip the words were spoken that made them man and wife. That road is not a part of the official honeymoon route to the Gulf, but De Funiak is on the way.

Mr. Austin Hutchinson, of Inwood, Fla., and Miss Molly Yon, of this place were married Monday morning by Judge Parish and left on mail for their home at Inwood. The groom made the acquaintance of the bride at the marriage of his cousin just a month before their own wedding.

Last Sunday evening about 4 o’clock a quiet but very interesting wedding took place at the home of Mr. J. C. Prescott. The happy couple being Mr. Jim Griffin and Miss Pearl Prescott, Jude Parish officiating.

Miss Prescott is well known among the social circle of this town and well thought of by her many friends, while the groom was a wide awake businessfied young man, who follows the black art as a trade and was the promoter of several projects while here for a short space of time.

The young couple left Monday morning for Vernon, Fla., where Mr. Griffin has a good position on the Vernon News and at which place they will make their future home.

They have started out on life’s journey rather young but the good wishes of their many friends of this place as well as others including that of THE BREEZE goes with them in wishing them all kinds of happiness and prosperity.
