A pretty home wedding was solemnized at the residence of MT. and Mrs. J. w. Rhodes We'd nesday afternoon, Sept. Eth, at 5 o'clock, when their daughter, Lucy Pulliam was married to MT. Carl Mallory Harwell, of Friendship, Tenn.
 The wedding was especially pretty because of it's simplicity. The parlors of their beautiful new home were tastefully dec- orated in Southern smilax, white tulle and bride roses, every de- tail being in perfect accordance with the daintiness and refine ment of the bride.
 Preceding the ceremony Miss Hester Phillips, of Newport, Ark, who possesses finely cultured voice of much sweetness, sang Dearest, :" by D nks, as a spec ial compliment to the bride. The bridal party descended the broad stairway to the strains of Men, delssohn's wedding march, beau tifully rendered by Miss Bertha Harwell. The little flower girls, Elizabeth Keiser and Mary Cath erine Young in dainty white silk dresses, led the way Then came Miss Nell Rhodes. as maid of honor, followed by the bride, who was met, t,at the foot of the stairs by the groom, accompanied by his brother, Aubrey Harwell, who served as best man. Rev. w. P Rhew, of the first Metho- dist church performed the cere- mony, after which a reception was held, and all joined in wish ing Mr. and Mrs. Harwell a large share of life's choicest blessings. The bride wore an exquisite gown of white crepe de chine, and her flowers were bride roses and ferns.
 - Mrs. Harwell is a charming
 \ung woman, endowed with an

 edingly unselfish and lovable
 Exposition and has always been 4 social favorite.
 x MT. Harwell is one of the lead ing professors in the Arkansas Military Academy of Little Rock, and is a young man of sterling qualities.
 Mr. and Mrs. Harwell left on the evening train for a short trip, after which they will be at home to their friends at 2401 Gaines street, Little Rock.
 The wide popularity of the young couple was proved by the many handsome presents re- ceived, among which are some exquisite pieces of cut-glass and silver.

PROF. F.ROGGE.
Sketch of Retiring Superintendent
of Frankfort City Schools.

In the recent change of the SUI
perintendent at the city school, we
loSo Prof. ). l.. Frogge. While not
native of Frank fort, he is Ken
tuckiau by birth, having been
raised on a farm in Logan county,
near Russellville. Prof. Frogge's
father was Rev. Timothy G.. Frogge,
member of the Louisville Con-
ference, NJ. f. Church South, and.
while stationed at ScOttsville, the
subject of this sketch was born.
He attended the neighborhood
school until he was fifteen years
old, when he was entered in old
Greenville College. Was graduated
from Bethel College, Russellville,
KY, in 1877, with the degree of A..
B., receiving the degree of a. NJ.
in 1850. Prof. Frogge has made
teaching his life work, and has
filled nearly every position in this
professional field, commencing to
teach when mere boy, in the
country schools of Mclean and
Logan counties. This year will
complete twenty-seven and one
half years of continual school work.
Since finishing his college course
be has filled the position of county
teacher, county superintendent and
city superintendent. The testi-
monials which preceded him in his
work here four years ago show the
high esteem of both pupils and
patrons in the field of his labor>.
Since his stay in Frankfort he has
been offered the supeIintendency
of three cities and the presidency
of two colleges, but feeling that his
work here was incomplete, though
the course had been strengthened,
and made more modern in many
places, since his advent-he turned
aside the more flattering offers and
remained here. The Board of Edu-
cation has, from year to year, I'M
reservedly commended his work.
and reelected him without opposi-
ton, and by word or act has never
intimated that his work was unsat-
isfactOry.
During his life Prof. Progge has
educated quite a number at young
men. A great many of them hold
ing educational positions of impOr-
lance in the State to-day. And not
one of these adopted sons but
proudly claims that the course Of
their lives were turned by him.
He has been offered. within the
past year, a very hattering and
lucrative position and will no doubt
take advantage of it. Prof. Frogge
has greatly endeared himself to
teacher and pupil who will regret
his loss.
We heartily endorse every word
OF the above, when is taken from
our contemporary. the Kentucky
Journal, of May Sth.
