"MORLAN-HEWES, GULFPORT"

"A wedding which attracted no little attention in Gulfport society, both on account of the prominence of the families of the contracting parties and because of the popularity of the young people among a large circle of friends, was that of Mr. James K. Morlan and Miss Annie Adam Hewes, which took place at four o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Church of St. John the Evangelist. The prettily decorated little church in which the ceremony was performed was thronged with friends and well wishers of the young couple who start their married life under most auspicious circumstances. The church was decorated in ferns and chrysanthemums most effectively arranged. The wedding procession was led by the maid-of-honor, Miss Norvelle Adams. She was followed by the bride leaning on the arm of her father. At the altar they were met by the groom and his best man, and father Sylvester Gretcel pronounced the words which united the two until the end of life's journey. Mrs. George Hewes presided at the organ and played the wedding march from Lohengrin as the bridal party entered. During the signing of the registry in the sacristy, Miss Jane Brunson sang "Call Me Thine Own." As the party left the church the organ pealed forth, this time in the tones of Tanhauser's beautiful wedding march. The pretty bride was gowned in white satin made en train with veil and coronet of orange blossoms, her sole ornament a diamond pendant, the gift of the groom. She carried a magnificent boquet of white bride's roses and lilies of the valley. The maid-of-honor, Miss Norvelle Adams, is the daughter of Mr. Wirt Adams of Jackson and is a neice of the bride's mother. She was also gowned in white, and wore a large picture hat of black and carried pink bridesmaid's roses. Mr. Ricardo Morlan, brother of the groom, was best man. After the ceremony the wedding party returned to the home on 20th avenue where a reception was held attended by the family and a few intimate friends. The rooms were tastefully decorated in bride's roses and carnations arranged with ferns and with streamers of white ribbon and tulle. The young couple left on the evening train for New Orleans where they will spend a several days before returning to make their home in Gulfport. The young couple were simply showered with presents and in the parlor of the home was a great array of finest silver, cut glass and china. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Hewes, sr., and comes from a family that has been prominent on the coast and in this state for many ways, while her winning ways have endeared her to a large circle of friends. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Morlan of Belize, British Honduras. He is established in the jewelry business in this city and has a most promising future. Mr. and Mrs. Morlan will return in a few days and will be at home to their friends at Dr. Briser's residence."
