ELLIS-MORRIS WEDDING
IN AUGUSTA

The following notice of the weddine
OF Miss Marguerite Morris, of Angus
ia, Ca, to Mr.. Franklin Ellis, will be
read with interest by many in Pensa-
cola. The account of the wedding is
taken from the Augusta Chronicle:
A delightful surprise to their
friends throughout the south WILDE
the announcement of the marriage of
Mr.. Franklin Ellis and Miss Marguer-
lite Morris, which was solemnized yes
terday afternoon at the Morris home
on The Hill. 1t had been the impress
sion that the marriage would be an
event of the early fall, but the bride
and groom decided to surprise their
friends, so yesterday morning their
plan was disclosed to their most in
innate friends, who, with the family
connections were invited to be present
at the nuptiaL
Mr.. and Mrs. Morris have had the
Ty Cobb cottage on the Hill since
the fire and the entire lower floor
was thrown open and adorned with
palms and fragrant late SUNNI r bios
SONS, each one of which seemed to
breathe a fragrant and loving good
wish for the dainty young bride
There were no attendants and the
bride entered with the groom. At all
times lovely she was a radiant vision
of girlhood in her going away gown
of soft "fieldmouse" broadcloth, hand
embroidered and worn with a blouse
of soft white Georgette crepe, and
hat in the same tone as the gown ar
tistically blended with brown. Shoes
and gloves were of African brown
and a magnificent bouquet of bride
roses ,showered with valley lilies, COM
pleted this stunning toilette. The
ceremony was impressive in its sim
plicity, and was performed by Rev.
Howard T. Cree. Immediately fol-
lowing the congratulations a buffet
luncheon was served, after which the
young couple left for an extended
wedding journey north. They will be
gone about a month and on their re-
turn will be at home to their friends
at The Shirley.
AS Miss Marguerite Morris, Mrs.
Ellis has been admired and beloved
since childhood. not alone for the
beauty of her person but as much for
the loneliness of her exquisite nature,
and the fascinating girlish charm of
her manner. She is the elder daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. William S. Morris,
and has inherited much of the woman
ly charm of her mother, which with
the genial nature of her father, has
combined to make a most attractive
ensemble.
Mr.. Ellis is the only son of Mrs.
Laura Ellis and the late Mr.. Abe
Ellis, of this city, and is one of the
most genuinely popular young men in
the city, his splendid qualities calling
for the admiration of the women as
we'll as the love of his men friends,
while his unassuming nature appeals
to all. Mr.. Ellis is secretary and
manager of the Ellis Ice and Coal
Company and it is due in a great way
to his business ability that the COM
pany is what it is and has been since
he assumed control.
Despite the fact that so few of
their friends knew of the anticipated
step until yesterday morning, the
young couple were the recipients of
many rarely handsome gifts, among
them beinga magnificent silver ser
vice from the Salkatchie club, hand
some silver tray in match design
from Mr., Louis Renkl, an elegant
chest of silver in the popular Wash
ington design, from Mrs. Ellis, and
many other gifts too numerous to
mntion.
