A bevy of Forrest City's most beauti.

A bevy of Forrest City's most beauti- full women were cOngregated at the Choctaw depot Tuesday morning as ye scribe was coming down to the Office. and they were the happiest looking lot we have seen in many days If one had gotten up cross and grabbed on that morning and met this jolly party as we did, his diagreexble feelings could not have withstood the charm of their mer- ry laughter and conversation. The husbands of one or two of the ladies were there, too, and they looked loRg- inRly at the train as 1t passed out of view, as if they, tco. would liked to have been amnng them during their visit in the Bluff City. The party was composed Of Mrs. E A. Long, Mrs. T. W. Barrow, Mrs. W. II. Alley and beautiful daughter. Miss Mary, Miss Addie Horney and Mrs. J. D. Baugh. Mrs. Baugh was accompanied by her cOlored mad, "HOmeseY," and Miss Weddington. The ladies went over to witness tho all.star performance of The Two Orphans. and . number of them remained over tD hear Richard Mans- field. They had a delightful time, but no amount of offers of suppers Ut the Peabody, street caf rides and other pleasures of great city could indu uce them to have man along.
