Dr. Jess DONNELL hied himself to Paris, TX last week and took into himself a better half.  The lucky person was a Miss GULLIE.  They will tour the South before returning to Festus.  May their pathway be strewn with flowers is the wish of the Doctor's many friends here.

Festus had only been incorporated as a town five years when in 1893 Dr. J. F. Donnell located his practice here.  He was a graduate of Beaumont Medical Hospital and St. Louis Medical College. In addition to his medical practice he was a partner in various drug stores and a director of the Farmers & Merchants Bank and the Festus telephone company. The first phone line from Festus to Crystal City was a private line to Dr. Donnell’s office in the drug store.
