 Long before the hour set. the Bap- tist church was filled to it's utmost ca pacity by the friends and we'll wishers ol the contracting parties to this double wedding. From every station in life and every. quarter of the land they came, and the fair brides could not feel other wise than pleased at this evidence of esteem.
 The groOms are young men of exem- plary character, are engaged in the drug business under the firm name of Webb < Tipton, and have won place In the front ranks of business by their courteous bearing toward all.
 The brides are too well known to need any praise from the press. AL though cousins, they were raised like twin sisters, and SO grew mp until their very thoughts were akin. Miss Lutie is the daughter of Mir. and Mrs. J. w. Beck Mir. Beck is the senior in the firm Of J. w. Beck tN Co.,, and stands foremost in commercial and social life. Miss Lola Grady is the daughter Mrs. E, Cummings, whose social standing in our community ranks the best, AL though the brides were reared by fond lndulgent parents, they are fitted to take their place among the best women of the world.
 The decorations of the church and altar were exceeding lovely. In front of the altar was an arch of eyerereens and flowers, from the center of which swung white dove. Underneath the arch was spread large moquette rug and fronting the altar were four silk ottomans for the bridal party to kneel on. On the platform, back of the altar was d ''wheel of life," composed of evergreens and rare flowers of every hue, on the top rim of which were the initial e. x B."-Grady and Beck made of white flowers. The back ground was bank of magnolias, lilies, ferns and palms, and on the right and left of the arch were pOtted plants and flowers from every cline. The church was festooned with garlands of tissue flowers. The church being darkened, the reflection of the light on this scene of beauty was sublime.
 An elegant bridal repast, ordered from Specht & Sons, of Memphis. was spread at the residence of J. w Beck at 3 o'clock. The bridal party and wis itors were served only. The brides cake was the perfection of the cOnfec- tion art. It consisted of several layers, covered with iclng and tiligree work, on the top of which rested colonade. the whole surmounted by two statuettes of brides, one blonde and the other brunette, representing Miss Lola and Miss Lutie. Like the brides, it looked sweet. Many were the wishes given the happy quartette.
 At 4:30, to the beautiful music of Mendelssohn's wedding march, the bridal procession entered the church in the following order:
 On the east aisle, Misses Willie Mill Ter and Alice Chapline, maids of honor; Misses Lola Grady and Lutie Beck, brides; followed by Miss Fannie Lee Harris. of Memphis, Miss Elise Cor man. of Forrest City, Miss Toddie Dunham, of Marianna. ladies in wait ing. Preceded by MT. Sid Hayes, usher.

Cason, of Forrest City-gentlemen in waiting. Preceded by Chas. H. San ders, usher, OThe contracting parties presented before the altar, under the arch, and the walters arranged them selves on the right and left, when Rev. Jas. A. Mason stepped forward and in the impressive ceremony of the PreSby- terian church, pronounced the words that made them man and wife. Rev. E. B. Ramsay. a Methodist divine, of Paducah, Kv., invoked the blessings of God upon the young couple, in such feryent manner that we feel assured that no deaf ear will be turned to his appeal. At the close of the ceremony a maid of honor pulled white ribbon. and the '.wheel of life" turned on its axis disclosing the initial letters of w. & T."-Webb and Tipton. During the ceremony the Organist rendered the beautiful soft music of Music among the Pines."
