There are bits of ribbon and broken rings
And tresses of golden hair:
There are little dresses folded away

There are dainty jackets that never are worn,
There are toys and models of ships,
There are books and pictures, all fade, ami torn
And marked by the finger tips
Of dnnpled hands that have fallen 10 Dust;

An Elegant Wedding.
MoRRILLToN, March 20. 1875

A"OhhbLloN, MARCH 70, 1859.
EDITOR WoMAN's CHRONICLE THE
most prominent event in society in
Morrillton for years took place the
evening of March 21, the occasion be-
ing celebration of a double wedding.
The contracting parties were Mr.. J.
0. Blakeney and Miss Annie Moose,
and Mr.. j. W.. Massey and Miss Hat
tie Moose. The wedding took place
at the residence of the brides father,
the Rev. V. V. Harlan officiating
Both grooms are well known and
highly esteemed. Mr.. Blakeney is a
young gentleman Of sterling worth.
He was for several years connected
with a Little Rock daily paper, and
while in this capacity won for HIM
self an enviable reputation and also
many staunch friends. He is now
editor and proprietor of the Head
light, a live, progressive paper, one
of the best weeklies in the State, and
the only paper in this the most pros
porous town on the Fort Smith road.
He has been a resident of this place
only for a short while, yet long
enough to add many more to his
already long list of friends.
Mr.. Massey is one of the energetic
young business men of Morrillton,
and one whom we predict will be
heard from in future enterprises of
this community. He was educated
at the Arkansas Industrial UNIVERSE
ty, and is now the confidential clerk
and business manager of Messrs.
Beal & Wills, one of the staunchest
firms here.
Society permits man to attend his
own wedding, but shakes her head
ominously if he attempts to write it
up. So in order that the editor and
others may know how satisfactorily
everything passed off on this occa-
sion, we will endeavor to give some
idea of the brilliant affair.
