SNETZER- ADAMS.
Nuptials of Mir. Bert Snetzer and Miss Lee Adams Celebrated Wednesday
 Evening At Baptist Church.

June, the month of weddings, at least q popular one with Newport pill grims to Hymen's altar, has ushered in it's first troth plighting in the mar riage of MT. Bert Snetzer to Miss Lee Adams at the Baptist church Wednes- day evening.
 Magnolia blossoms, studded here and there upon the walls, while to the rear and in front of the pulpit, back ground of luxuriant palms, ferns and English ivy, together with g hanging ''S" of elder blossom above the spot where the VOWS should be taken,-al contributed to very pretty effect, the decorations being the handiwork of Mesdames A. D. Holland and J. E.. Mann.
 Tbe church was early crowded with friends of the contracting parties and standing room could hardly be se- cured when Mendlessohn's march, very sweetly played by Miss Claire Johnson announced the arrival of the wedding party.
 The ushers, Messrs. Arthur Bouie and Roy Pace, advanced together and took positions upon either side of the altar, followed by Mrs. James Duffer. Next came the fair bride upon the arm of Miss Eula Knoles and lastly the groom, accompanied by his best man, Mir. Henry Bragg.
 l { Rev. T. c. Mahan said a brief and very beautiful service and again Mendlessohn's march was used for the recessional. A reception, was tend- cred the bridal party at the home of the groom and the newly wed left on l the south bound train for a weeks visit with relatives at Searcy. Shortly after their return, they expect to go to housekeeping, and they were so handsomely remembered by their l friends, that there is little left to buy in the furnishing of home. The presents consisted of beautiful furni- ture, silver ware, cut glass and many other useful articles.
 The bride was lovely in handsome crepe de chine made over silk, with embroidered mouselin and taffeta moire trimmings. She wore the veil and carried large boquet of brides roses.
 Miss Lula Knoles, the brides maid wore a pink crepe de chine with tucked mouselin and ribbons, over silk and carried brides maid roses.
 Mrs. James Duffer, was handsome in an organdie creation with point de spirit, liberty satin trimmings and car ried carnations.
 The gentlemen appeared well in full dress.
 The INDEPENDENT congratulates and wishes well the young couple, who have chosen each other for help meets through life, as the groom is an energetic and capable young business man of high character and genial dis position and the bride very lovable young lady, whose refinement, optim- | istic temperament and sweet charac- ter make the couple we'll worthy of the choicest blessings that fall to mortal lot, happiness and content ment.

DECISION A DOG FALL.
Judge Fulkerson Announces His Find ing In License Contest-Jackson- port District Dry-Newport
 Wet.

Circuit Clerk J. s. Jones on Thurs day morning received letter from Judge F. D. Fulkerson, stating that he had found the law and the evidence in the license contest case to be in favor of the petitioners in the New port three mile district or in other words the license of saloons, while in the Jacksonport district, he found in favor of the demonstrators or against license. He also communicated the result of his finding to the attorneys for the saloons and will officially make his decision i'll the circuit court here, July 8. The papers in the case were also expressed to the circuit clerk.
 The case will be carried to the su preme court as the Jacksonport dis trict includes the business section of Newport, in which the saloons are now located. Should the decision be upheld, the saloons would be forced into the residence section of the city, beyond the limits of the Jacksonport three mile district. The law was doubtless never intended to serve such a purpose and allow one com munity to force a certain policy upon another. The enactment was intend- ed to secure local option, but through this injustice and unfairness, the re- verse is threatened.

Triumpbs of Modern surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, on" they may be re-
moved entirely; bones are spliced;
pipes take the place of diseased sec
tions of the veins; antiseptic dress
ings are applied to wounds, bruises,
burns and like injuries before infam-
nation sets in. which causes them to
heal without maturation and in one
third the time required by the old
treatment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm
acts on this same principle. 1t is an
antiseptic and when applied to such
injuries, causes them to heal very
quickly. 1t also allays the pain and
soreness. Keep a bottle of Pain Balm
in your home and it will save you
time and money, not to mention the
Inconvenience and suffering which
such injuries entail. For sale by all
druggists.
