 The heart, like q tend laccustomed 10 cling
 Let it grow where it will, cannot Tourist alone;
 But will lean to the nearest and loyelles

 This was one of the most noted weddings that ever occurred in Pint Bluff. I he wide and extended ac quaintLnces and popularity of the contracting parties, and the promi nepcrof he families they represented will make this event one long to be remembered by the society people ol our city.
 The bride is the daughter of the late Capt. Meriwether McGehee, and the neice of Judge and Mrs. T. F, Sorrells. and was beautiful and ae- eomplished young lady. The groom is the son of one of the most respected citizens of Dallas county. and him. self one of El Dorado's most success fnl business men.
 The ceremony was performed by Rev. ]. r, Carr at the Lakeside Meth odist Church, and was beautiful and impressive. The church was deco rated as never before. Around the altar eyergreens were artistieally arranged "aDd ivy twined its mystic 1 lore. ''and this was dotted here and there with pink flowers. From the center of theareh and down the sides of the walls of the church ivy and cedar were so arranged that it looked Us if it might have been placed there by the hand of nature, while just inside the altar railing were the most beautiful flowers, palms and ferns, arranged ina semi-cirLle, and presented a beautiful background. Just inside the altar railing was the arch under which the lovers stood while the ceremony was being per formed, and was built entirely of evergreen and dotted with pink flowers. From the center of the arch hung double heart made of pink roses. The arch was made of ever green and dotted with beautiful roses, and was opened and closed by gates of evergreen.
 At the appointed hour the wedding march began. The talented and ac- eomplished young lady, Miss May Hudson, played the wedding march of Mendelssohu, and the soft, sweet music, blended with the fragrant flowers, was enchanting indeed. Just in front of the bride and groom proceeded little Harvey Gillespie, aged 3, and Margaret Dewoody, of the same tender years, carrying in their hands little baskets of delicate pink flowers. The ushers, Messrs. NJ. P. Russell and John Alexander. of this city; W. R. Appleton, of El Dora do, and Mir. D0dsOn, of Little Rock, led the bridal party down the aisle and took their positions around the altar. Then came the bride and groom, she all golden hues and soft ness; he, so steady and manly. Such a contrast; vet such a harmony strength and weakness blended to- gether, every characteristic feature of one setting forth the advantage and giving zest to that of the other. As they approached the altar the little children threw open the gates and the lovers passed through, and, standing before the sacred altar of the Church, they were pronounced man and wife.
 It was an impressive occasion, as she with her heart i'll the shadow of his, declared her willingness to cling to him through life, to be his sOlace in misfortune and the companion ot his years; and he, that he would pro- tect and cling to her, and both, that they would cherish each other until death should them part.
 After the ceremony the bride and groom were driven to the Valley depot and left on the evening train for the home of the groom's parents. They were followed to the depot by scores of friends who. with many ex- pressions of good wishes for their happiness, and peace, and prosperi- ty, bid them goodbye.
 And both were young and beautiful; And to his eye there was but one beloved
 face on earth,
 And that was shining on him.
 May God, in His infinite mercy, shower blessings upon their heads, and with this couple goes the GRAPH Ic's best wishes for all the happiness. all the peace and all the prosperity mankind can be heir to.
