HOGAN MCLEAN.
Pretty Home Wedding of Mir. James 0. Hogan To Miss Lettie McLain Wednesday Evening, Rev.
 Jas. H. Brooks Officiating.

At the suburban home of Mir. W. D. McLain, east of Newport on Wednes- day evening, were solemnized the nuptials of MT. James c. Hogan and Miss Lettie McLain. The invitations had been restricted to those closely associated with the families of the contracting parties and about the per- formance of the rite had been thrown a simplicity and lack of ostentation, which was refreshing as we'll as beautiful
 Miss Mae Whitaker presided at the organ, the bride and groom entering the parlor to Mendlessohn's march through the folding doorway and taking their places before the of ficiating minister, Rev. James H. Brooks, beneath an arch of chrysan- themums, from which hung wedding bells. The saying of the ceremony was quite impressive and then came the congratulations of friends present. 1nO oOA c1l1O tractive, appeared doubly charming on this occasion, gowned ill white wearing the veil caught up with flow CTS and carrying an immense boquet of marschal neil roses.
 The lawn had been lighted with lanterns and the interior of the home was decorated tastily in chrysanthe- mums, the reception which followed the ceremony being enjoyed by the guests present. Ice cream and cake were nicely served.
 The newly welded were the re- cipients of both beautiful and costly presents and left that night for their new home three miles east of New port. The groom is said to be a young man of good habits, pleasing sociability and great determination of character, whom we congratulate and wish we'll in the life for which he has chosen a helpmeet, whose disposition and character are such as will doubt less bring sunshine and happiness in to his home

GREAVES SECURED CROWD.

Texarkana, August 27. Astute Ben Foreman euchred Davis and Myers out of the crowd last night. He had large platform erected on one of the prominent streets, in front of his building, and there MT. Greaves ad dressed an audience of about 1000, while Governor Davis and Mir. Myers addressed about 250 at the court house.
 There was no especially new feature to Governor Davis' speech, unless 1t was the utter absence of all reference to MT. Reese B. Hogins. He denied the statement made by Myers at Batesville, that the Campbell boy, whom he pardoned on account of his sgood old fat mother and her Bible," had again stolen horse. The gov ernor said he had communicated with MT. Campbell at Dyersburg and found out that the statement was untrue.

SHOW PASSES THROUGH.

The train carrying Campbell Bros.' show, passed through here Thursday morning about seven thirty o'clock on it's way to Batesville from Augusta. The train was laid out for several hours and probably late in reaching Batesville.
 The circus will be here tomorrow and in order to avoid the $100 license imposed by the city, will probably show outside the corporate limits in Chastain's addition. The license for parade is $25 in city scrip and it is thought that parade will be given, though the advance agents thought of abandoning it, owing to the high license required.

FREIGHT DIVISION
 REMOVAL CERTAIN

The freight division will be moved from Poplar Bluff to Hoxie, Ark, about the last of October, says the Citizen, of Poplar Bluff. This much rumored change is now an assured fact It is also an assured fact that a train dispatcher's office will also be established in Poplar Bluff.
 For several years there have been many prophecies of this change, but hitherto they have been suspicious rather than grounded on any good basis
 The division will extend from Pied- mont to Hoxie. At the latter place large and commodious freight yards have been built and preparations are being made to build a much larger round house than the one in use here. These additions will require about two months preparation before the change can be made. It will require much longer time to complete them.
 Poplar Bluff will continue to be the passenger division. It will also be a division point for the Cairo branch. A chief dispatcher and three assistants will be stationed here, and all the heavy eastern freight shipped out by that line. The recent laying of heavy rails from here to the Mississippi has been preparatory to this change.
 It is not expected that these changes will materially harm the city however, hotels and boarding houses will be the chief sufferers in the mat ter
