Vick—Wilkinson Wedding
A marriage* of interest to a wide
circle of friends took place Satur-
day evening at 8 o'clock at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Moore
when Miss Nora Vick became the
bride of Wiley Wilkinson. Dr. Geo.
F. Williams officiated at the im-
pressive ring ceremony.
Lovely fall blossoms formed an
attractive background for the
wedding scene. The couple were
attended by Mr. and Mrs. Hollis
Moore of San Antonio. The wedd-
ing music was played by Mrs. Geo.
Kellar of Kansas City.
The bride wore a smart blue
crepe traveling ensemble and car-
ried a bouquet of white carnations.
Her attendant, Mrs. Moore, was
modishly gowned in tailored red
moire taffeta. She carried an arm
cluster of red button-hole chrys-
anthemums.
Following the ceremony, an in-
formal reception was held for the
assembly of members of the im-
mediate family and their close
friends. Out-of-town guests were:
Mr. and Mrs. Hollis Moore and
Mrs. G. A. Davis of San Antonio.
The bride is the niece of Mr. and
Mrs. T. C. Moore with whom she
has made her home since seven
years old. After receiving her
schooling in the Kingsville Schools
she entered the Robert R. Green

which she received her nurse’s
degree. For the past seven years

nursing staff of the Kleberg Coun-
ty Hospital. Mr. Wilkinson has re-
sided here for the past fourteen

witches, brew and ginger cookies
were served tw'enty-five guests.

] cards, nut cups, candle shades,
menu and favors were cleverly
suggestive of the Hallowe en motif.
While supper was being served,
a witch paid a visit, causing great
excitement and merriment. This
famous character of the season
was cleverly Impersonated by
George’s grandmother, Mrs. K. M.
Offutt, a fnvorlte among all his
friends

version was enjoyed by the four
